I was supposed to go out with a friend yesterday and meet up with some friends I haven't seen in over a decade tonight. Instead I'm riding out a slowly fading migraine. Bored out of my mind because any mildly interesting activity involves looking at or listening to things, which I shouldn't do now.

The internet is a gigantic, noisy, anxiety-inducing corporate open space. I want my corner office back. I want a small space that's for one thing, where I can talk to fellow weirdos about that thing, without shouty randos at the next desk. I want a WEBSITE, with a FORUM. Fuck your Everything App.

I got to the defense of Grit Gate for the first time. I went in blind so I royally fucked it up and got almost everyone killed. I just found Neek's fidget spinner and Jacobo's holy book in the wreckage, and now I'm ugly crying over imaginary dead bears... God damn it.

I re-read it today. Maybe I'm too simple-minded and missing the point but I got to the same conclusion. Unless you're playing with a VERY specific group of people who approach TTRPGs like game designers, this could be a recipe for a uniquely terrible experience.
