Lastly, WotC tries to push DnD as the everything RPG, like a second coming of GURPS and a lifestyle brand. Ignoring WHY people play the game (no matter how they play it)

Juan Diego Pucurull @coplantor.bsky.social · 20h

I do believe it is kinda cool that a large community of queer players has grown around DnD and you see less and less of the Worst Kind of Players™ because of it. But I hate that it somewhat whitewashes WotC reputation (bunch of assholes IMO).

The game is entirely built around combat and, IMHO, it is mostly rebranded 4e. A large group of players are more into the interpersonal drama and found family tropes, sometimes proudly declaring they gow they can playa an entire campaign without a single fight o even rolling dice

I went back to 2e some years ago but yeah, 5e has an identity crisis because it is one game as written, an entirely different game for the majority of players online and somehow WotC believes that it is yet another different game than the previous two

Yes is a comma, No is a period. While you don't want to end every sentence early, you can't build a story out of one long sentence.

🧵
As a GM, I say ditch the mindset that "no" is bad, at the table. "No" can 100% be abused and can stifle fun, that's true. But it's contemptibly narrow-minded to vilify "no". Used skillfully, "no" can inspire creativity, protect the integrity of the table, the game world and the story. (1/6)

Al parecer el titular de la cuenta Varones Unidos en lo que era Twitter es uscado por un doble femicidio y huyó con su hijo.

Hace años insistiendo que ese personaje era un ser de mierda.
Estaba en contra de todos los derechos de la mujer y juraba masculinidad positiva.

When ChatGPT first took off this was the use case that confused me the most. People said they “only” used it to write “first drafts.” That’s the most important draft! That’s the thinking part!

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · Sep 17

Scoop: Business Insider informed its staff this week that they are allowed to use ChatGPT to generate first drafts of their stories, while also indicating the newsroom will not disclose such A.I. use to readers.

Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/business-i...

Business Insider and the Bots

The Axel Springer-owned newsroom is buzzing over new ChatGPT writing guidelines—part of an aggressive A.I. strategy pushed by its German parentco and detailed in a memo obtained by Status.

Weird how I don't see "tepidly supporting fascism" anywhere on here, guess they must not have gotten around to adding it yet

We believe in core liberal principles like democratic representation, equality before the law, an open society, and the freedom of speech, association, religion, the press, etc. These ideals are the foundation of our political philosophy. We believe in the importance of strong institutions — the norms and rules that constrain and motivate our public behavior. Positive societal outcomes require strong, inclusive institutions, and we believe in holding fast to our core principles and core institutions.

We are social liberals. Social liberal values of inclusion and non-discrimination are ethically correct on their own terms but also create a prosperous society. We believe in building a society that is inclusive, non-discriminatory, and open to all people regardless of race, sex, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. We will always stand in strong opposition to any policies that would legislate hate, discriminate against, or deny basic rights to marginalized groups, including policies that restrict women’s right to reproductive freedom.

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries

- hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf
- art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support

youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

Evan Torner @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social · Aug 4

Play and discuss as if you were friends trying to get to know each other better, rather than as if you were rival squawking merchants trying to sell competing goods in a marketplace. The world is full of friends and potential friends, and it's much lonelier and more frightening when it isn't.

me jode mucho el argumento de "el comic nacional no vale la pena" por que siento que se resume en:

-No existen autores conocidos
-no conozco dicho titulo = no existe
-no hay variedad (se leyo poco)

se que el comic nacional puede mejorar en cosas como patrocinio, pero es mejor enfocarse

Smile leaned so much into this view that ended up overshooting and missing their own target by explaining the metaphor in universe which sort of killed it and turned everything boring
