Very excited to kick off my Draw Steel campaign this week. (Tomorrow after work!) We're not planning to go from level 1-10 just yet. But the plan is to basically cover the first echelon and then have something climactic at level 4 as a capstone.

It's TRANS AWARENESS WEEK and that means it's a great week to ignore the hysterical nonsense of bigots and understand that Trans people are awesome and deserve respect and love.

Today was a very nice day. Hot pot for lunch, then a game using Basic Roleplaying set in an urban fantasy/alternate history setting that's given me the chance to revisit a former character and bring some new life into him.

Okay seriously, what's up with @skeetsapp.com on my Mac especially doing the angle flip? Never happens on iOS or iPad OS.
On one hand I appreciate it being shorts weather for a bit again; but on the other I’m horrified as it’s also the middle of November.

While I appreciate @kagi.com’s effort to try to elimiate AI slop from search results, and have been appreciating their attempts to deprioritize and exclude genAI art from search results. I need people to understand that I think pretty much all genAI content is slop.

It baffles me that @bsky.app has yet to implement pronouns and website in the bio yet when it’s already there in the protocol and other apps are sporting it. Let me reclaim some space on my profile already!

If you're in Apple land I'm gonna again plug Tapestry as something you should check out. I'm biased. I backed it's development on Kickstarter but I feel like it really freaking paid off as a super useful way to follow disparate parts of the internet. usetapestry.com

At this point I still tolerate Telegram largely out of convenience for keeping up with some folks, but holy hell I wish I could get the furry fandom and art community folks to swap over to Signal.

My family keeps finding new ways to be weirdly inconsiderate, well also making me feel like the bad guy if I have an issue with it.
