Hi Mr. Hamill! Just wanted to say, as a Cherokee citizen, I appreciate the acknolwedgement, but the art is a bit...questionable. Maybe instead, repost some prominent Natives? I'm sure your voice could lend some volume to some great people, projects, and causes. (Just not Lakotaman, please)

Happy Indigenous People Day!

Did you know that Indigenous women go missing and are murdered ten times more than average? They don’t even get a quarter of the attention that a white woman going missing would get. Please keep these women in your mind. Don’t forget them

Every time an educator tells me they used Coyote & Crow Games in their class and had a great response or when a student emails me and says they're doing a paper on C&C and can they ask me some questions, or when a Native shares art of their OC, I know I'm going to make it through the day.

The irony of fucking cops taking Ketamine for therapy is so thick that the cake is just icing all the way to the plate.

Could ketamine help first responders with depression, PTSD? The largely unregulated treatment faces hurdles.

Ketamine, long used as an anesthetic or illegal party drug, is being combined with psychotherapy to treat severe depression and post-traumatic stress.

There's so much I want to do. I want to work on C&C projects, other tabletop games, an HZD TTRPG, a new sci-fi RPG. My brain is filled with ideas.

But it's so hard to focus enough to get them out onto the page, to develop them, when I'm continually fearing for my life and future.

I actually really liked Tshushima (and was prepared not to). Thanks! Ghost of Yōtei it is!

Need a PS5 rec. I tend to like open worlds, 3rd person, custom cvharacters and complex storytelling. Lean more sci-fi than fantasy. I love Horizon Zero Dawn, Mass Effect, Alien Isolation, Control, Bioshock, LoU2. Just tried Hell Is Us and it wasn't for me.

Looking for new/newer titles.
Help?

So, I'm guessing we're not going to be getting those Robert Smalls or Virginia Hall biopics...ever, are we?

Anyone else watching Wayward on Netflix? There's a lot to like there. But I have mixed feelings so far on some of the character behavior, acting, and overall story. I haven't finished yet, so please no spoilers.

Then, last night we rewatched Insidious, another one from James Wan. This one hasn't aged as well. It felt more gimmicky and some of the acting feels a little less than convincing. While I appreciate the ending and the film still has some good moments, I probably won't revisit this one again.

Two nights ago, I rewatched The Conjuring. I like that Wan moved away from gore and embraced 70s style horror. There's so much of films like The Amityville Horror, The Exorcist, and The Shining in this film. It's pretty solid and the clapping game was creepy af.
