"Oh they basically just rolled up a fetish fodder character, gross"

Is the character actually dynamic and has depth? Are they believable? Do they fit the GM's setting and story? Does the player RP it well? Do they actually engage with the game?

If the answer is "yes" to all then shut the fuck up!

TERF rhetoric is Nazi rhetoric. I will not be using passive language at this time, nor will I be taking any questions (unless they're about something else).

It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch
The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:

- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital

SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

"Bilewater" sounds like a fan edit of Team fortress 2 pl_Badwater.

Not the collab we were expecting, but the collab we deserve. Holy crap.

When did "Suspension of disbelief" become "you are not allowed to muse about the real world implications or else you're consuming media wrong"?

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

Thank you RCG! It was a journey from the beginning until the end.

Moved by music and reality setting in, I drew this while listening to Little Rascal by Toshifumi Hinata.

The #Ninesols ARG is over and it lead to a (very cool and satisfying) send off of the game and world it is set in. I am quite happy, but still... I would've loved an avenue to see the amazing gameplay elaborated upon.

I'm just glad that Red Candle Games has grown from this.

Drew a modern dressed Yi while listening to Lofi.

Also, we need your help Nine Sol fans! RCG seems to be teasing something related to Nine Sols and more of its lore!

Tracing might unironically have more artistic merit than GenAI, depending.
