Over/Under update: we are all slowly realizing the lesbian voting bloc has become the most powerful insurgent faction in the game

Over//Under DSPR Week 1 Recap
YouTube video by DSPR Radio

When people say a piece of media is “soulless”, what they really mean is it’s lacking in any perverse qualities. To lack that is in fact a bad thing.
So far every active denizen who’s died has gotten memorialized, a funeral, etc. I’m morbidly curious to see how callous people become to these deaths as the oxygen tax and assassinations increase.
(Over/Under) This is so perfect it makes me mad. Stratemeyer is the megacorp faction btw

Something so cool about #OVER/UNDER is how faction asymmetry leads to players leading totally different lives. Today, I heard about folks preparing powerpoints for their boss, the church is organizing art grants, the union is holding internal elections, and the hackers are shitposting.
Wow you weren’t kidding. In a way, you become their Pokemon
Now I gotta see this video. What’s the title

The McDonald’s x Street Fighter collab in Japan is incredible. No notes. 🤌
Once you join a faction, you don’t really have to do anything. I mostly just watch
The fact that this dude died within like ten minutes of posting this makes me think the buyer was a plant
(He was selling tokens)
(Over/Under) Oh so that’s why they killed him
I think this might also be some kind of findom roleplay. There are layers to this
(Over/Under) just got invited to join a pyramid scheme. This is too much like real life
(Over/Under) The people have started a fight club. No idea how it works, I’m guessing people writing about the teeth they lost
First person killed in Over/Under. Word on the street is, this was personal
Is this the first assassination?
I did not know this specific thing but it tracks for the guy who centered his memoirs around his sexual affair at 35 with a drunk teenager. medium.com/@108/just-li...
The casino having to go on hiatus so the owner could reup on cash was incredible
Okay I'm just gonna start posting wild shit I'm seeing in #OVER/UNDER (public facing stuff only).

First: they set up a fucking casino??

Eventually, I'll have so many fun stories to tell about Over/Under - even after just one day. For now though, discretion above all things.
We've got our first news source from inside the Dream.
Average relationship with a legendary Pokemon

I've ended up advertising a lot more than I typically do but October is turning out to be a busy month for me. Red Solstice Issue 6 is for sale via @spacepenguinink.bsky.social. It has lots of amazing sky themed articles and this beautiful cover art by @daniilune.bsky.social

I really wish we had more books on video games being translated into English, bringing fresh perspectives.

For example, the 甦る伝説のRPG大全 is a Japanese 3-part collection on RPG history from 1975-2000. The games it covers and its perspectives are quite different from what the CRPG & JRPG Book cover.

Desabafo, mas infelizmente eu fico cada vez mais convencido q não vale a pena tentar fazer criador gringo se importar com oq rola com games fora de EUA/Japão... o lance é se conectar diretamente com galera de outros países e fazer nossos próprios projetos.

Se não, o máximo q sai é like & retweet :/
