The best self-defense is to a build a word that doesn't suck (Just & Verdant is the Professional phrasing).
"I saw the pregens and wanted to play all of them."
I think that's one of the nicest things anyone's ever said to me about a game I've run.

If you find out that the United States Department of Justice has subpoenaed information about you from Bluesky, please don’t post through it here on Bluesky. That makes Ken angry.

A little bit of 🌈💫🦣personal news🦣💫🌈

After years in the freelance game, I'm joining The Toronto Star as a full-time columnist. I'll be covering my usual beats: Security, politics, global affairs, policy, misinfo, etc, but with a new accent on Big Tech.

I like how the Democratic party is like, "We need a tent big enough to accommodate racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and transphobia but not large enough to accommodate one single socialist."

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?
Beginning Monday, a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink will be available exclusively at Starbucks cafés inside Target stores.

The chains are hoping the drink can drum up excitement from customers this holiday season.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

No game has to be recognized by awards, etc to be considered a good game or not. As long as you enjoy it, it's a good game ☺️

Lincoln had it right:

‘Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side. My greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.’
Yeah, that’s what really set America apart — we were the first and only nation in history to put a religious angle on wars.
Straight up Christian Nationalism from DoD.
