I printed some stickers to gift my #Torchbearer players after they completed the campaign epilogue. They loved it.

IT WILL RAIN FOR A MILLION YEARS

Sign up for our mailing list at www.araukana.com

A LATE TRIASSIC GAME
OF WORLDS UPENDED

Two hundred and thirty two million years ago, a global deluge sparked a near unprecedented
life-bloom across Earth.
In the nascent forests and swamps of Ischigualasto, in South America, your warm blood stirs. As you take in burgeoning scents, as you learn its songs, and claw away at this newfound paradise,
you make your kin. You face your trials.
You find your meaning.
You are a thief at the grand opening of a new age.

YOU ARE EORAPTOR LUNENSIS

So go ahead. Steal the show.

I think about all the people who have worked so hard to protect darkness. The Jackson Hole airport replacing its runway lights. The bike path in Singapore that has no illumination so that wildlife can migrate. And then some tech bro can ruin it for everyone.

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?
🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

The good thing about this one is the career path tracing he explained whereby the Security Clearance validity gap enables military contractors, as well as the talk of how people are dehumanised by the interfaces used and shit

As 2005 as this is (we can stop it with the "getting AIDS in Africa" shit guys), the shitty script, and Jared Leto, this is actually pretty great. Remember this is a 2005 movie. The ending is still the best. Show this along with the vrchat merc youtube video and you can kill anyone's faith in States

Yes, because all avenues of exchange are increasingly monopolized and simplified into just a couple of lanes where rules of etiquette and speech are almost entirely based off of anglophone middle-high class mores, regardless of their place in the political spectrum

K. Chen @tznkai.bsky.social · 23h

Relatedly, the bitching people do these days about a monoculture is absurd. You're telling me in an era of profound racial and religious diversity where everyone can communicate with anyone this side of the great firewall with the supercomputer in their pocket our culture is *more* mono?!

K. Chen @tznkai.bsky.social · 23h

The overall progressive bent on here I think obscures to people how much we, like previous generations, are grouchy, nostalgic, and prone to seeing the environment around us changing as a sign of decline.
