I did a 31 day Superman playthrough of SEE ISSUE X by @potatocubed.bsky.social and displayed the cards in the gallery, a mostly context-free look at imagining the world of Superman for a month and what it meant to me.

God dammit I've fallen victim to the 'software saves your work wherever it thinks is best instead of where you opened it from' problem. Not a problem long-term, but deeply irritating short-term because I'm away from my desktop for the weekend.

Seems like the time is right for a pet companion game with complicated tactical combat rules! If only I'd finished writing it.
Though admittedly if you’re looking for a pet companion game with inexplicably gritty and complicated tactical combat rules I probably can’t help you

The bonus of course, is that once you've beaten him you can sit at the shrine in the next area helping other people beat him for a while.
Nice to see that the first boss of Nioh 3 continues series tradition of being hard as balls.

I feel like the real question with this thread is "Was he this bad a lawyer *before* ChatGPT and nobody noticed, or has ChatGPT cooked his brain?"

I've been having a rough week at work, and I've got to say, being able to sit down and have a good time with people playing Fabula Ultima, Beacon, and yes, even D&D, has done a lot to keep me stable.
Turns out I do actually enjoy this thing I've been doing for decades.

22 days later we finally got to this fight and my baddies lasted a whole 3 rounds.
The next fight's against the same sort of guys, so time to make them even nastier.

I know Backerkit are trying to be helpful with their lists of things you should do to promote your campaigns, but every time I read one I feel myself die inside. I'm sure these marketing angles are tried and true but I do not want to turn myself into a marketing creature.

If you check out the video when it's posted on Youtube (and Twitch?) you will also see several appearances from Cedric T Catte. And if that isn't worth the price of admission, I don't know what is.
And that’s a wrap!
