Hi this joke is for me

This is a bugbear I have with Mythras, too. It’s one of my go to favourite games, but with skills like Brawn and Evade, the generating stat becomes increasingly redundant. It led to bizarre situations in game where a very high STR character kept losing contests of might.

Live shows are good though.

Tyrannical fascist magocracy murders the Gods and enslaves the survivor to power the afterlife as a form of social control. How do you resist dictators who operate the gates of heaven? But their celestial genocide has caused damage and reality is starting to break down. Their iron grip is slipping.

If robots do all our sport for us, and AI does our reading and writing for us, we'll be free to do the really important stuff like laying down in the gutter and quietly dying so we don't get in any rich people's way.

That looks like is was specifically designed to run down human survivors in the wastelands of the post-2029 robot uprising and stab them with its arm blades.

Two MASSIVE starships in space. Yellow coloured background with some space rocks floating in between the viewer and the shiips.

Two blue city sized ships heading upawards above a a golden oloured planetary ring system.

More space rocks, this time in a blue space with two huge starships.

Space ! Super size me. I'm a huge fan of city sized ships be they Colony movers, Battleships, Arkships (and yes GSVs). Impractical ? Probably, but undeniably cool and great story devices. Some #Lightwave3d renders of Skynet3020 & Simon-3d's models found on Renderosity. #Scifi #ScifiArt

Not gonna lie. Did a little cringe-sick into my mouth posting that. 👍

Gonna whisk your froth with my Russel Knobbs.

I think they should all be named after swear words. 👍

Or TSR modules...

Xennials are between Gen X and Millennials.

I think the people who named generations are the same people who name Xbox models.

Christ. Now I have "tutti frutti what a cutie" in my head.

Cornetto.

I discovered this week that Mr C from The Shamen is now running as the Green Party candidate for Islington - and I have become quite invested in this nascent political career. The timeline where Mr C from The Shamen becomes future prime minister makes as much sense as anything at the moment.

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

He makes tools, Dave. Dave, he’s a maker of tools. A toolmaker making tools, Dave.

But … but I thought his father was a toolmaker? Nothing says down to earth integrity like your toolmaker father being a maker of tools.

I bet you dunk the teabag for 5 seconds. 😂

I agree, and I think it’s an intersection between the influence of tech giants wanting to harvest our data, and politicians too lazy to put the work in to create a safe and robust verification system.

Reading about the US proposals to ID check operating systems. The tech industry us just one big feature length episode of Black Mirror.

Lightly toasted? Lightly? Is there no end to your heresy? I’ve lived with a flatmate who microwaved bread, I know where your blasphemy leads! 😂
