Isn't it so weird to deeply know in your bones something obvious with no equivocation, for years and years, and then to one day see articles about people wondering if maybe the incredibly obvious thing you've known this whole time might be happening, as if the media is discovering it now??

Repost for the new day, I’ve got a podcast now to talk about TTRPG stuff.
First episode is just me talking about gaming with kids, but I’m looking for guests for future episodes too.

Forgot to share the most important part.
It’s called Hairballs & Harpies and I made a cover image for it with a harpy and a cat.

Hi I'm raising money to survive. Due to a banking error all of my savings were stripped from me. To make matters worse I am both mid move and in between jobs. So I do not have a stable roof over my head or any income currently but I'm working on that. Thank you!
Hi y'all I very prematurely closed my old gfm and I've started a new one. Things are quite dire and it's looking like I'm going to need to hire a lawyer which I can't afford. Your help would mean the world to me truly.

D&D 5e has a rule against giving deities stat blocks because if they did then players would kill them.
I think gods should have stat blocks so that players will kill them.

Started watching The Diplomat. The end of season two is pure wish fulfillment. Otherwise we'd all be trying to call the president to give him terrible news in hopes of that outcome.

I don't think I want a Discworld TTRPG.
Not every good thing needs to be adapted into every other medium.
Bohemian Rapshody doesn't need to be made into an MMORPG.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups don't need to be adapted to the silver screen.

Two thirds of my interactions these days with all technology involves turning off shit I didn't ask for that actively makes my life worse.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
