a lot of people need to learn the lesson "advice given to a general audience and not you specifically does not necessarily have to account for you, a stranger's, specific circumstances and isn't a personal insult against you if it doesn't." its clearly not learned naturally, please take the time.

I feel like we could solve the reading crisis by bringing back the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! program but for adults.

Here’s what running over a hundred games of daggerheart has taught me:

Some percentage of your players want to play goblins. Let them.

As y'all have probably heard, there has been a lot of ICE activity on the North Side of Chicago today. At least four people were kidnapped by ICE in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Folks mobilized throughout the day to do ICE Watch and Rapid Response work.

Wanna do something.... different? You won't find this setting in the Daggerheart book. Victoriana. Magic is illegal for the have-nots. (Of which you are.) Nightmares are coming to life in the dark. Let's get a little Bloodborne up in here.

You notice all the directors/etc saying they're fine with AI are saying exactly the same things about it? Sometimes word for word.

Yeah. Those are talking points.

I have never wanted to be able to wish something into reality more than I am wishing, right now, Cats: The Royal Rumble into existence.

Danielle Radford @danielleradford.bsky.social · 3d

I unironically think this is the best way to stage Cats. It the only way that Cats makes any sense

Much like Kentucky Route Zero, your dialogue choices in Mario Galaxy 2 don't affect the path of the story but they change your understanding of the character

Dialogue choice in Mario Galaxy with two options: "that's right" and "yes"

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions.

These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water.

AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

Gavin Newsom's dad was best friends with the nazis. Every time he does something that is SO WEIRD for a west coast liberal, I need you to remember that he was raised by a nazi.
