20 minutes 'till dawn and vampire survivors are also both great games on PC that have mobile versions.

Plague inc. Is also here.

Mindustry is pretty good, you can sync it to your PC if you have that copy too.

Infinitode 2 is a pretty solid tower defense game.

Stone Story is an incremental game where its main late game gimic is learning how to code.

Mainline games like Minecraft, terraria, and Stardew Valley are also here.

Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

Oh man. They're going to have a fit when they find out about the houses in generations 1-5

Lightfoot @hriashia.bsky.social · 12h

Yeah. Rules aren't there just to annoy players. They exist as a guide for those who are new, less experienced in that encounter type.

Like, the lack of downtime activities that necessitated 2 entire books (XGE+TCE) to solve what players *can* do in a town really sells it.

Dungeon world, Blades in the Dark, city of Mist, Symbaroum, all thrive on the social encounter, and benefit from having mechanics and rules that describe ways they can help, while also still having them be open ended enough for inventive and creative players.

4e, for all of its faults, does have a plethora of non-combat utilities, mostly in skills and example tests for those skills.
Pathfinder has an overwhelming number of skills with unique powers and abilities exclusive to the social encounters.

Lightfoot @hriashia.bsky.social · 12h

5e specifically lacks social encounters as a mechanical feedback, which on one hand is fine, social stuff is purely roleplay, but on the other hand, without any support, it relies on improv exclusively, few spells or skills directly help, and even fewer have use outside of combat at all.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

Cost of the Argentina bailout Trump is trying to finance: $40B.

That same amount could fund almost two years of extended ACA subsidies, or two years of full SNAP benefits, or nearly all of the annual Medicare cuts from Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Priorities.

It’s truly unreal how many times GDT has said something that resonates with me, personally, on the deepest possible level.

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

If you dig a little deeper, companies ceo not being liable ("limited" means that) on a regular basis is a mistake. When a company can own another company, who's to blame for mismanagement, pollution, deadly accidents, or gross negligence ?

A french yt channel made an eyeopening video about limited companies and started by talking about... Nestlé.

About vibe engineering, if the consequences of going fast and breaking things doesn't hit ceos in the face, they will always maximise profit even if it means doing shitty/dangerous apps

Fucking *Pokemon* doesnt have voice actors, a voice cast works great if your narrative hinges on audio cues like that, but most games can get by perfectly fine without it.

You're so good at this mimi!

That would do it!

I just assumed it was new 3d models since you've been on a modeling kick.

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Kudos to these universities for standing up to Trump's demands.

That’s seven.

Trump hosted a dinner last week for donors helping fund his ballroom project.

Today, crews are starting construction and literally tearing down parts of the White House.

It's day 20 of the government shutdown and this is what he's prioritizing?
