This is precisely why I’ve fallen in love with TTRPGS, painting miniatures, and playing wargames.
Escaping the madness of the world and being able to put my phone down for hours at a time is a blessing.

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Picked up some classic Warhammer books from my LGS
Beastmen 6th Ed (2003)
Greenskins 7th Ed (2006)
Greenskins 4th Ed (1993)
It’s strange to have nostalgia for a game I wasn’t playing at the time it existed, but these old books make me yearn for a Games Workshop that largely doesn’t exist anymore.

We need more new Swamp Thing books. Ol Swampy deserves more stories.

I think it can be cathartic to fantasize about life after humanity.
That being said, i don’t dream of a world after humanity, i dream of one without suffering. No sickness, no disease, no hunger, no war. We can do better, we just need to dream beyond the confines of the capitalist system.

I actually hate the "lol the giant asteroid will deliver us from this suffering" jokes.
Are there any other people in the progressive movement who think that humans are actually fucking amazing?

Spent some late nights over the last couple weeks working on these two 8x4 tables for Warhammer and other games.
I’ve never built anything before so it was a learning experience, but I had a blast and I’m super proud of how they turned out!

Rented a studio space with some friends and started a tabletop hobby club.
My first time building anything and I’m making progress on two 8x4 tables for Warhammer that’ll occupy the studio so we can run games!

1. Hound
2. Arkham City: The Order of the World
3. Swamp Thing (New 52)
4. The Department of Truth

Journalists for the Athletic push to join the New York Times union
It’s unclear whether the Times, which shuttered its own sports desk after buying the Athletic, will fight the journalists’ effort to join the bargaining unit.

Power to "AI" is actively damaging power transmission on the US grid. Not "might." Not "will." Right Now Is.
I've been seeing increasing amounts of pushback against people talking about the environmental harms of "generative AI," comparing things like the resource use of factory farming in the US.…

AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse

Almost weekly I feel like my resume gets a little weirder because of our game.
Today I added “Wicked” to the list of franchises I’ve collaborated with.
I’m grateful I still get to have a little fun with great people.

Good time for me to say on this app that I think sports betting apps are a plague on society and should be illegal.
Profits made by exploiting people with gambling issues may as well be blood money!

In another instance of “new RPG that I don’t have players for”, I picked up Outcast Silver Raiders yesterday!
“A blood-drenched occult medieval RPG” is such a cool pitch! Excited to read it!

Been getting lots of game dev follows. Hello friends!
I felt like I had such a strong network of game dev friends on twitter and having abandoned it a few months ago, that was the thing I was most sad about losing!

Throughout my life, when I’m feeling wrecked, I dive into music.
I only started taking guitar seriously about about 2 years ago and I’m constantly learning and growing.
My brain struggles with percussive breakdowns, so I learned Toothache by Locked Shut to help!
