I (finally) wrote a thing! Been a crazy last half a year for me, but that doesn't mean you should sleep on this game if you've been looking for a #ttrpg like this.
Have you ever wanted to play in a high octane, 90s action flick adventure? Do you crave car chases, epic battles, and a plethora of explosions? Adam may have found just the game for you. Our review of the Outgunned #ttrpg by Free League Publishing:

This game has been my new obsession since its release last week.
Considering Wyatt's already got an article written, it sounds like it's hit him pretty hard too.
Everyone seems abuzz about Arc Raiders. This is part of the reason why.

What happens when you take the extraction shooter genre, infamous for PvP violence, and encourage people to play nice?

For me, coffee blows my mind. Somebody was like "yeah this fruit is fine but what if we take the pits, roast them, grind them into a powder, and then pour hot water through them?"
Crazy genius that the world should give thanks for.

It's olives that get me. I want to salute the guy who took an inedibly bitter fruit and thought "I know, if I bury these and leave them soaking in caustic soda for six months, they'll be delicious". I mean what kind of a leap is that?!
On World Bread Day I'm celebrating this tweet cos every time I make toast i think "cook it again"

I don't talk much about my personal life here. I'm debating maybe just slightly changing that? Dunno. We'll see if it lasts.
Anyway, here's a fun fact about me: I read tarot. Ironically I learned on a thoth deck so 99% of decks confound me (being based on RWS). I am finally learning them.

While I agree, can we also take a step back and realize this country is so far gone that we have a concept of a "normal" government shutdown?
Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.
Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Dig this piece! One aside I think about a lot is how today's big budget games want to tell mature, nuanced stories, but still want killing to be the central thing you do in them. And as a result, so many of the those stories have to be ABOUT violence in some way. Lots circling the same ideas!
I enjoyed Ghost of Yotei a lot — as I have many recent PS5 exclusives — but I’m starting to get a little bored with the same themes repeating themselves.
