Daydreaming about Traveller with totally different lifepath organizations (Navy, Marines, Army, Scouts, Merchant, Other):

Space Monks, Medicienne sans Secteurs, Science Accord, Independent Wanderer, Incarcerant

Maybe a different game or maybe learning something different about classic Traveller.

Hey, Newskies! This one is pretty easy: if you haven't been on Bsky for long, you can get reminders to use alt text.

Alt text helps people understand what you mean when you post-- sighted viewers too, as it can help us get the joke/remember the name of that character/know what show that's from.
I haven't seen this explained, so:

(1) On left-hand vertical menu, click "Settings".
(2) Click Accessibility
(3) Scroll down until you see "require alt text before posting" & click

Reminders from then on :)

IT'S HERE!

Keep your eyes out for @scumbelievable.bsky.social's Black Flame, everyone. A riveting ghost story where you watch people being haunted not by the shades of other people but by an entire portion of history. It's unmissable, just like everything else Gretchen writes 🔥

weird how a country organized around the principle "let's monetize every single human interaction to benefit an idle, vampiric shareholder class" is falling apart like a wet cardboard box

We don't need corporations to get excited about gaming.

As a matter of fact, I'd argue they have gotten in our way from the start.

absolutely! the fantastic four should be a fun, light on its feet romp anchored by a strong family dynamic (and an undercurrent of tension between each of the family members, including ben grimm's general malaise)
I both love this cast (Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm is next level perfect casting) but also as an initial HEY HERE IS THE ENERGY WE ARE PUTTING OUT FOR THIS ONE vibe check this is the most Fantastic Four-as-hell energy I've seen out of any adaptation so far, I'm into it

Tech bros *hate* RSS because it is a way for information to go directly between authors and audience without them being able to extract rents in between.
“RSS is dead, he repeats endlessly throughout the book.”

There is something about RSS that really bugs the tech bros.

Denethor: No tomb for Denethor and Faramir. No long, slow sleep of death embalmed. We shall burn, like the heathen kings of old. Bring wood and oil.
