Currently replaying Assassins Creed for a larger analytical project. I find it fascinating how much of the first game feels like a proof of concept. The mechanics are there, but unfinished, rough and simple.

Bringing this up again to spread the word. People aren’t getting their SNAP (food benefits) come November 1st. This is disastrous.

This feeds poor, unhoused, and disabled people. Our voices are small and it’s hard to get people to notice our struggles. So many people will starve without SNAP

Y’all my November SNAP is being delayed without any more information (which I rely on to yanno EAT)

I am panicking but hoping something will come through… people are gonna starve and I don’t know if anyone is even talking about this.

So, I read “no selling in the bathroom” at first, and for a second I wondered just how much of a drug dealing the place would beed to put up a sign.

I have been playing around with Google classroom lately. Mostly training and experimenting in different teaching styles. Will see if it turns into something real.

@regularslimeguy.bsky.social Just found a Fuligo septica on a rock in the woods. Do you think there’s a chance of keeping it alive in captivity in this state?

I think its one of the things that should be discussed before the game start, preferably before sesion zero. How railrody will the campaign be, are both players and DM on the same page with what the goal of the campaign should be, etc.
