Y'all are giving a pass to a fave again, huh? You're saying how awful It is, condemning others who use It, but oh not Our Boy, he was drawn in, he can come back from this and go right back to his calling and we'll speak no more about his little infraction. Forgive if you want. Don't forget.

I'd argue that, especially in the current dis/misinformation environment, trust is essential, not optional. No one has time for a science communicator who uses genAI for notes. Time crunch is no excuse. Hank Green burned himself and has no one else to blame. Done.

Start the countdown for 5e influencers losing their minds that Dark Sun has 1. slavery, 2. environmental destruction, and 3. cannibal halflings in it. Because today, half of them are just innocently saying, "Ooh, this looks cool, grimdark D&D!"

Interesting. I'm provisionally into it, though how it's monetized is of course a big factor.

Chaosium converted the elfgold to an NFT. You can win that; it's actually BETTER than owning the gold! :D

One of the faces of maturity is to change your reactivity. I've gone from a fight timer of, "I can do this all day," to an initial reaction of, "OH WHAT SO YOU wait I don't care about this, block and done."

Also, just spent an hour or so explaining to my eldest granddaughter the premise of MotU and why cartoons in the 80s were mostly 30 min ads directly marketing to children. The phrase, "It was Reagan's fault," was used.

So I watched the Masters of the Universe movie tonight. (shrug) Eh. It was fun enough. It could have been worse. Now, let me be clear. I know it could have been worse because I was there for the last time they tried. I was in the target market. I was the audience, in the theater. It was worse.

You know... I am going to have to talk about GURPS, aren't I? Steve Jackson Games' Generic Universal Role-Playing System is a game about which there are two opinions: love or anger.

You want another game that can get you out of 5e? How about a game that can do ANY setting? And how about you get in for cheap? AND how about you support a charity in the process?? GURPS can dial between easy and Super Crunchy Double Plus Ultra. You decide how mechanical you get at your table.

Regular Christians: Matthew 10:14, New International Version: If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. Evangelical influencer on a plane: That doesn't mean to stop spreading the word when we're on a plane lol they can't escape

Ok Joey Mangolimoncello, yes, you're so very dark and brooding. The corpse and blood and death and stuff themes of your D&D clothing brand game world are as edgy as a high school frosh's notebook circa 1989. Mork Borg ate your lunch and did it with style. Sorry bout it.

Them: I curate my social interactions aggressively. The first sign of trouble, I mute. The first hint of drama, I block. Me: Oh sure, we nod our heads and praise this on BSky, but when I do this in real life, people start saying "social anxiety" this and "therapeutic medication" that. (Joking.)
