I think Dracula could defeat Frankenstein but I don’t think Count Chocula could defeat Frankenberry and that speaks to the richness of the characters

I thought I was ordering a translation, but I should have checked more carefully. So now I get to fumble through 15th century #Scots poetry.

I’m having a great time, it’s just slow going, and I need to read everything aloud in the accent of an old man from Fife

The Wallace by Blind Harry

Let me tell you how tired I’m getting of AI being forced into software:
I have genuinely given thought to making Linux my next OS.

This is not ok, and is the sign of a sick and twisted society that is collapsing.

You can now pick up physical copies of my games in Forbidden Planet Glasgow 💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I spent quite a lot of quality lurking time in Forbidden Planet as a teen so this is huge for me!

This is tech/marketing people leveraging decades of science fiction media presenting "AI" as generally encyclopedic and infallible. People think they're getting JARVIS, when what they're getting is the machine version of that annoying dude in your dorm confidently spouting bullshit on every subject
This marketing term is causing untold harm, of course, mostly to the naive and gullible. But it’s surprising how many educated and apparently intelligent people are placing an unwarranted degree of trust in these programmes.
I really like Mork Borg and all its derivatives, but the books are so stylized that I find they’re actually difficult to use at the table. It’s a beautiful mix of art and fonts and layout, but that does not really lend itself easily to practical use. #ttrpg

My son has learned that I am useless to him at night. If I go in when he’s upset at night, he stops crying, points at the door, then cries louder until I take him to his mother. He has no use for the boobless parent, I am only for playtime during the day.

There were certain names we discounted just because it sounded like the child would be an overpriced paint color.
Total time from getting my dual British Citizenship to getting instagram ads asking me to renounce my US citizenship: 3 days

Official first pint in a pub.

I think I should start arguing about football* or something?

Officially a British citizen. The pledge to a king was pretty weird, but I managed to control my inner-American long enough. Now time to drink tea, wear a kilt, and complain about the French!

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

It’s wild that the most unrealistic part of Terminator 2 is now the idea of a tech founder being told their creation will enslave humanity and they decide to destroy their product & company.
If he doesn’t fix this with Daggerheart, we’ll know he’s truly lost…

(Side note: the art for the ‘fling ally’ feat in 3.5 is still one of my favorite art pieces from all of D&D)
12 years ago today I was apparently at GenCon with @tomlommel.com playing Worlds Worst Dungeon Crawl.

I had a blast playing the game; but was so jet lagged I was almost hallucinating, surviving on a diet of sugar and caffeine; then collapsed with ConCrud as soon as I got back to Scotland. #ttrpg

The invisible walls from video games was suddenly gone; and the only thing in my way was that I had only 3 spellslots to my name, and I refused to use them on anyone (because who knows when I might need them??)
