I can tell you I’ve been saying for years that Actual Play would be very different in a world of UBI.

In fact, we have some evidence of this, as I’m arguing in my next chapter.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

fyi cosplayers-- if you're in need of any basic underlayers for cosplay (modesty garments, tights, colored leggings, sports bras of varying silhouettes, etc) or dance shoes, discount dance is going out of business (😭) and most of the store is $5. stock up.

Anyway, I literally am short rent, due in six days, because the anime workflow I once had in spades has run dry thanks to nonsense like this.

If you're a content creator who could use captions for a video, please consider commissioning me. 113 minutes of video by next Thursday could make it happen.
With just a little more work, I can cross the finish line for the month and pay all necessary bills and rent! Can I help you make closed captions for an upcoming or pre-existing video? I have a page on the process here, including a form to fill out so I can help you with your project!
Closed captions commissions now open!
If you need some quality closed captions done for your YouTube videos, I am a professional working caption editor who can help, now taking commissions! Please read the info on the graphics and fill...

No cheesesteak games, but here’s my hits:

The game I bought that I’m most excited to play when I get home is BOOP, a really clever 2-player spatial strategy game about cats.

I don’t know if it only makes sense without the periphery stuff, but Nier has books, stage plays, etc. I once asked Taro about this and how are English fans supposed to keep up and he looked confused and asked “Why would you need to keep up? Who needs all of that?”
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

A few years back @friends-table.bsky.social brought me on to illustrate a series of in-universe pulp novel covers for their mecha season ‘Palisade’. Initially these shipped out as postcards to their patreon subs. Excited to be sharing these. heres the first..

"how did you get into ttrpgs"

The moment I was born, TTRPGs pinned my shadow to the earth with a large brass nail and tore it from me. This is my first memory, the seed of many hours of therapy to come.
"how did you get into ttrpgs"

i got hit by a truck and woke up here
"how did you get into ttrpgs"

Oh, ttrpgs killed my parents so i swore to play as many as i can to absorb their power

i have seen some of the unreleased playbooks in action during my playtest campaign and they rule. they rule so hard. i cannot wait for everyone to see how weird this game can be.
Realis is coming sooner than you think! Sign up to be notified at launch when the print edition of @austinwalker.bsky.social's TTRPG goes live in 2026, and start bracing yourself for all the additional art, player options, and GM resources being added to the game: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

this video is for me
My latest video is a brief overview of some duet games I think slot well into comparisons of Wicked! This is unabashedly an algorithm play, but I still shout out "Tangled Blessings," "Break Up on ReEntry," "A Knife to Your Throat," "Soft Shell," and "It's Been a Long Time Coming."
