Very useful (and IME true) article on the course and dangers of workshop productpicnic.beehiiv.com/p/workslop-w...
"Workslop" was the logical outcome of productivity maxxing
Local throughput optimization always externalizes costs onto downstream colleagues.

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries
- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support
youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Play and discuss as if you were friends trying to get to know each other better, rather than as if you were rival squawking merchants trying to sell competing goods in a marketplace. The world is full of friends and potential friends, and it's much lonelier and more frightening when it isn't.

You ever wonder what a movie that combined cyberpunk, Aliens, medieval knights, Mad Max, and a zombie apocalypse would look like? Then boy, oh boy, is Doomsday the movie for you.
Watching Doomsday (2008), a brilliant, Gonzo British post-apocalyptic movie.
The medieval armoured horsemen just showed up after the Mad Max Cannibal Rave.

It's impressive how much TTRPG Discourse goes like this, "This mechanic sucks in all forms because one time I played a game under a dude who didn't read the rules and was huffing paint, and it went badly. So the only conclusion I can draw is any variation on this mechanic is garbage."

I set all my clocks 5 minutes ahead so I can trick myself into not being late, but I automatically subtract 5 minutes every time I look at them. Nice try, myself.

I'm always a bit wary of anti-doomposting stuff because there's 'doomposting' and then there's 'accurately identifying the state of the world' and folks tend to conflate those two things.

It honestly made my day.

A significant part of the US government isn't planning long-term because they believe that they can bring about the end times and I don't think we acknowledge that enough.

Currently fighting the desperate urge to buy a really cool looking TTRPG I know for a fact my gaming group would never play. I have failed at this so many times, but this time I will stay strong.💪

The idea we live in a left-wing echo chamber is hilarious because I promise I keep trying to build one and yet I still have to keep hearing from the worst people in the world no matter what I'm talking about.

What happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.
