Crazy how there are now two generations of people that know Radiohead as "the band that does that one song" but it's a different song depending on which generation you talk to

Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

Sometimes I think there's no hope for our societal consciousness to continue evolving but then I see how speculative discourse online about superhero shows has evolved from "Is Mephisto behind all this" to "who's getting raw-dogged by a Bad Dragon next to Lex Luthor" and my faith is restored

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

I've been marinating on the idea of starting an Actual Play-focused web fest based around peer review for a while now. Today, I finally wrote down all the ideas in my head and am gonna throw it out there to see if it resonates.

Check it out and apply by October 3rd if you're interested!

Intrepid Web Fest

Intrepid Web Fest is an experimental web festival that aims to celebrate and uplift innovation in the art form of Actual Play.

It's truly sad because one of the big reasons 5e has its player base is because EVERYONE makes content for it. If less designers made their own derivative OSRs and instead made supplemental content for existing OSRs they liked, it'd be way easier to pitch people on other systems.

Hey so with corporate media censorship becoming more and more prominent every day, it's quite literally never been more important to support the art that your friends and family are making. Studios aren't working for us. We HAVE to work for each other.

It also doesn't say he can't loophole the law entirely by making extrajudicial deals with multi-billion dollar media execs to fire people in exchange for approving predatory mergers that make them more money at the cost of consumer choice. The meta has changed since 1791, might be time for a patch.
