Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

I actually wrote a reboot pitch ~5 years ago.

Two new products up on the shopping cart tonight!

The first is Abbreviated Architect of Worlds for Traveller! This 8 page PDF takes the highlights of Architect's world building process tunes it for Classic and Mongoose Traveller!

Ubisoft won't let me upload my usual PDF cover letter. Instead, I have to cut & paste it into a little text box on their "SmartRecruiters" web site.

Which refuses to accept semicolons.

I must assume they received a previous application from Little Bobby Tables.

Whoops. I shared the old one. This is Ross's current GoFundMe.

Look, American health insurance rules have evolved into something even the Devil thinks is too cruel for humans. Ross has a cracked molar, and is postpononing colonoscopies with polyps because he has no money.

A graphic that reads: “In the first episode of Star Trek Deep Space Nine, we saw a black man gain a powerful command position, respect the hell out of a religion he didn’t understand, respect three different races he didn’t understand, accept his friend’s gender change, and tell his son he loves him.”

Star Trek; it be like that. #LLAP

i love starting with "lots of strange reactions to this game" and following that up with the strangest reaction yet

MAGA wants teen births. It won't work Teen birth rates are at historic lows — and young women want to keep it that way

Republicans are getting more brazen — in rhetoric and policy — in pushing teenage girls to give birth.

The good news is that it won't work. Girls aren't going to fall for it.

An analysis.

Awful lot of people in their 50s dying of early, unexpected heart conditions.

Gosh, I wonder what could have caused that?

"30% of people, mainly middle class, are about to become unemployed" is the sentence usually uttered in the first episode of a six party BBC documentary about a revolution

The Deal That Could Destroy Hollywood Paramount’s purchase of Warner Bros. would be a huge blow to filmmakers and film lovers alike.

The gap between the moguls and between their legacies is so vast that it reflects something even greater: the eclipse of enterprise capitalism by shareholder capitalism. buff.ly/sh9rSWr

This suit will almost certainly get dropped when the Atlantic says "Welcome to discovery, Mr. Patel. We're recording your deposition. We're also demanding full documentation from the FBI on every login you've made, number of attempts, flight logs, and receipts how much booze you've bought."

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

I first saw him on China Beach.

I don't want to understand them, I want them to go away and leave us alone forever.

I've started watching the Obi-Wan series. I feel like it's the first time anyone let Ewan McGregor ACT in a Star Wars, and it's spectacular.

Of course, I was also a fan of Luke in wet cat mode.

Save 90% on En Garde! on Steam En Garde! – the swashbuckler action game! Battle graceless guards and nefarious noblemen in fast-paced fights full of spectacle. Use the environment, your wit and your blade to teach them all a lesson...

Just noticed that En Garde is going SUPER cheap right now. 90% off. Cheapest its been by far.

Very fun little swashbuckling adventure with a focus on using stuff in the environment as much as stabbing people.

On this day in 2019, I witnessed one of the coolest things ever. A lenticular cloud lit-up by a setting sun over the Perito Morena Glacier in Argentina.

I see people are again arguing about how post editing would lead to abuse, as if Mastodon has not had post editing for years.

When someone edits a post, it's noted as "last edited (time)." You click on that, you can recover the full history of previous versions.

I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen
I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships
I just want to make pictures and shitpost
