This is actually how I explained it to my wife. His multi million dollar ballroom is being constructed while we pay double for bananas.

This is so spot on though. I started by reading random X-Men and Spider-Man comics, absolutely not in correct order. 30 years later I'm still reading comics. So it clearly worked.

DnD 4e was the only edition that actually knew what it was and that’s why it’s the best one

I absolutely love my LCS @eastsidemags.bsky.social there is no competition with online vs them. I can walk in, go to a bin, sift through, and find something I've been looking for, or I can randomly go through the wall and find a new book I didn't eveb know I wanted.

Here is a hard thing to convince people of.

If you had an awesome RPG session last night?

YOU DID THAT.

Not the game. Not the designers. Not the publishers. You. You were awesome.

For many of us, that is SUPREMELY uncomfortable to even consider, and it’s easier to put the games pedestal.

When retailers get new stock for Player and GM books will they have the printer/paper issue resolved? Just want to make sure.

One of the pettiest things I’m most upset about is that Donald Trump is going to go down in history as one of the greatest grifters of all time despite being so transparently bad at it.

Already pre-ordered my steelbook copy before they sold out!

Can't wait to watch it all over again.

Gerry Sacco @gerryds.bsky.social · Aug 3

Yep. Used it with my group since our first game.

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped?

I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry.

Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto.

It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

Absolutely! I'm not a pro like you, just a regular DM, and I really feel the care put into it. I got to talk to the team on discord and it truly is because they are DMs too. You can tell how much they love and believe in their product.

This is the first and only ttrpg I have a physical book and PDF for. Oh man do I love the PDF, constantly use it for campaign prep. Feels almost necessary. And print a LOT from it.

Whenever anyone tells you “A.i.” is inevitable or you better use it or get left behind, look at where their money comes from.

I will say, if you haven't watched any of it, the first season of Walking Dead is damned near a masterpiece. It falls way off a few seasons in. But the storytelling and cinematography in the first season are worth the time.

The right-wing backlash against #Superman has happened before.

Here’s my @vanityfair.com report w/ the full history —starting with April 1940, when the official SS newspaper attacked the comic book hero & its creators.

Plus, that time Superman fought the KKK…
