Instead of incessantly whining about something, try making a change.

Remember that episode in Andor where the evil Empire used a sniper to shoot their own troops at a protest in order to start a conflict and "justified" a massacre on Ghorman?

I'm glad that would never happen in real life...

Yearly reminder that retail workers are human beings trying to get through the hardest part of the year at work. The Christmas season is hell to work through in retail.

So, please, show them respect and kindness.

If you look at old Dragon magazine letter columns and forums people have been debating the value of "crunch" for decades. That debate has for the most part been about "play styles", and people on either side of the divide treated complexity as a playstyle preference.

You like what you like
I don’t know if it’s just me taking final form as old guy but there does seem to be a trend to make things as easy as possible at the expense of everything else.

An old blog post on a topic near and dear to me - complexity in TTRPGs.

IMO too many people disparage games for complexity, they are missing out

One thing I'm learning today is that all of the letters characters find with incriminating evidence about the bad guys and their secret plans and organizations is apparently completely plausable, including signing them and using plain language! Who knew?!

The Mystara Gazetteers were something special. Each book took a nation from the Known World and made it breathe, maps, politics, history, culture, even holidays. They turned the setting from a backdrop into a living world. #DnD #Mystara #OSR #RPG

The fact that governments are moving quickly to ban VPNs and haven't done anything worthwhile to protect you from data collection should tell you everything you need to know about where their loyalties truly lie.

It's not for anyone's safety, kids or otherwise.

It's for profit and surveillance.

I'm kinda shocked that the Giants fired their manager, but the Braves haven't. I figured it would be the other way around.

As a kid, this Rosloff cover entranced me, everything about it was magically strange.
