I hope you're already talking to Image about some large format luxury Absolute edition when you finish it, because I'd drop that cash in an instant (still will buy this in the meantime)

@sistersinead.bsky.social

These terrible times require me to ask which one you're talking about

Because I can think of at least 2.

Gestrals: what if troll dolls spoke like French Jar Jar Binks

DDG was DROWNED in advertisement for me, somehow more than Google - and yes, just missing things. I'll look into Kagi, thanks!

How does kagi compare to duckduckgo? I tried switching from Google to DDG last month and while Google has become terrible, DDG was even worse for me.

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎆

Yeah, I know that looking at Like lists is a thing sea lions do and we frown on it, but there's at least a respected name there that, what the hell.

Actually I would argue Myopic doesn't even begin to cover it.

Myopic is short-sightedness; myopic people have no problem reading! (This person otoh... 👀)

Which was never how those games worked!

Think about it - the Traveler School Renaissance could be shortened to TSR, much to everyone's additional confusion.

Those have incentives, too; they've just not been considered as much, and may be contradictory or not very functional.

I suspect @themountaingoats.bsky.social would actually like this

Mr president, another "Ghibli-inspired" setting guide has hit-

Qntm?

I'm the executor of a billionaire ex-lover's estate, increasingly wondering if I've just stumbled on a centuries-old conspiracy, or if this is just an elaborate prank made to drive me insane.

Frisell AND Scofield? Damn.

Why is it that now the nerd-pop-culture equivalent of *anything* (in this case, book collector, but anything really) is ignorant as fuck about everything, including the things it purports to love?

Just saying, give us some hope here!

There's people here who are still obsessed with this since 2013!

Wait!

Is this...?

He was great; and at the same time, I always felt that the series was never quite able to explore him to his full potential.

Or what people like sonic youth did, jamming a screwdriver or a sponge in the strings at the right point - I think those are handy metaphors for different approaches to more structural hacks, heh.

...subtly but importantly shifts what is easy or intuitive to do (eg DADGAD drones, or nasty riffs in drop tunings), what certain approaches can achieve (slide and chords in open tuning) and even the broader spectrum of the possible (the extended range of, say, NST - notes otherwise unavailable).

First of all: I'm quibbling, so feel free to tell me to stop or disengage! But this is such an interesting parallel.

I'd argue it goes a bit farther than asking "what else can it do", as it changes some of the confines and fundamental interactions, and in doing so...

As guitarist and TTRPG nerd, my question here is what is the TTRPG equivalent of changing tuning. Because to me, instinctively, that'd be house ruling or hacking - which would change what a game "supports" even in a more rigid, formalised reading of "support" (which I espouse).

To me, my X-Mas!

Just want to put out feelers for a TTRPG writer/dev or two who would be interested in collaborating on a pulpy scifi/fantasy project in 2026 with myself and another artist/writer. Ideally someone who'd fuck with "Frank Frazetta but queer" as an aesthetic. Would love 2 chat if this sounds interesting

That'll usually give you a year of good gaming!
