Which... is understandable but just not productive.

Tbf this forum doesn't really feel like the correct place for "list me all the ways you fucked up".

Valid thing to ask but like the 'doomsday' is still a 'doomsday' even if it was preventable. Idk just seems silly.

CTA fare hikes going the wrong way, penalizing multi-ride ticket holders more than single-trip fares:

🚍 Bus fare: $2.50 (+$0.25, +11%)
🚇 ‘L’ fare: $2.75 (+$0.25, +10%)
📅 1-Day Pass: $6.00 (+$1.00, +20%)
📆 7-Day Pass: $25.00 (+$5.00, +20%)
🗓️ Regional Connect: $45.00 (+$15.00, +50% (!!))

Designing this Cheese Dungeon for #mörktober is giving me something to hyperfixate on which is nice.

Question for people in the #TTRPG community: What're the best ways to accommodate accessibility when releasing a new game?

Is it best to have a straight .txt file? Or are things like .doc and .docx better for using text to speech and other accessibility tools?

Yeah! This is so incredibly true. Not only susceptible but it really seems to sneak out of nowhere when it hits me.

Definitely something I’ve been trying to be more aware of.

We just switched to beehiiv on our last newsletter we sent out. It seems like a much better platform that Substack so far.

I can’t get over how crazy this is. They’re so indiscriminate and sloppy that they literally gassed dozens of cops. Nobody is safe.

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 11d

CPD just relieved feds from this line too. Then a moment later the feds gassed the whole area, including the cops.

It’s been on the back burner the last couple months, but I’ve been working on a gmless game with a version of Otherkind Dice at its core.

This is my weekly reminder to get back to it as soon as I have time.
