OSR not as movement that is over but as genre that is in its 4th or 5th wave.
PbtA too. We're officially in its 3rd wave.
Pay me to research and write about this please. I care too much.

Not a single major news outlet has covered this story. There is such a blatant, obvious attempt to suppress any and all news that deals with the actual facts about transgender life and experience. As the government rolls back our rights on an unprecedented scale, we have been left out to dry.

"Suicidality scores among the [study's] patients who provided responses dropped by over 67 percent."

If I speak… 🤫
there is almost no feedback I will reflexively ignore as a game developer but “you shouldn’t name something X because people don’t know that word” is one of them. oh no! You might learn a new word! God forbid you take away a piece of knowledge from a game that’s not a brand of gun or some shit lol

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
