Well folks, unfortunately we did not hit our goals for the All the World's Prey Kickstarter. But don't worry! All the World's Prey will still be released! It just some more time to fully bloom.

sometimes people say that in any other sci-fi setting the tau would be the bad guys
but “high tech assimilationist empire dominated by a single species spreading a post scarcity utopia with zero political freedom run by the military” exactly describes the federation from star trek

I think it's critically important to contrast this with credit companies openly disenfranchising independent pornographic artists. The average American should be aware that right now we live in a country where a paragovernmental group is banning all porn except revenge porn that they sell you.
so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

The problem with the "it's a fail state because the combat system sucks" argument is that regardless of a system's quality, the purpose of a system is to be used.
For combat to be a fail state, initiating combat would have to be something with no rewards, only setbacks that might be mitigated.

Real Girl's Talk is an amazing work looking into the precarity experienced by trans women in the US. A deep look into trans womanhood, its denial, the material and social conditions, and extrapolates its findings into blueprints for freedom and equality.

Radical democracy enjoyer begging everyone to let the anti-democracy guys in the house.
The pro-democracy movement needs to include factions which we disagree with vehemently on all other matters.
That’s the point of a pro-democracy movement—we aren’t aligned on the direction of our society, but we all agree we should have a right to contest it freely and fairly.

wooow you guys can't read the GM's mind? What are you stupid?
I regret to inform you that basically all games have incentive structures.
Generally, if an object of play doesn't have incentive structures, it's a toy.

The early sapien cannot escape the grip of civilization - he refuses to entire a domicile through the window. A florid irony; despite the trappings of domesticity his primoridal anima compels him to return to the cave.
lot of people have asked why Fred doesn't go in through the window but i think it's pretty obviously related to whatever fight he's very clearly been having with Wilma that's also why she's just sitting there in this like 100 square foot house pretending not to hear him

Remember when reactionaries complained that universal healthcare would compel doctors to work, equating it with slavery?
This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.
