Dylan Grinder wants you to check out Spoken Legends! @anarisis.dylangrinder.com · Aug 18
Hey there, Bluesky! I'm Dylan, a game designer and graphic designer for tabletop and indie projects.

I also use those skills to design free supplements for RPGs and analyze the games I stream!

Games on: anarisis.itch.io
Streams on: twitch.tv/anarisis
Freebies funded by: patreon.com/anarisis
Gold metal lettering is set in a dull blue leather, itself framed in more ornate metal. The text reads "Spoken Magic by Dylan Grinder". Glowing green lines on a black background trace a circuit-like pattern. Dramatic glassy letters replete with a similar pattern spell out "Become" with a subtitle in glowing typewriter-style lettering says "artificial investigation". Highly stylized picture of a hand reaching up with a knife pointing down, the point of the knife a small space away from the fingertip. The lighting is pure red with blue highlights. Along the blade is the title "Blood On My Name" in bold yellow text. The author names Kienna Shaw & Jason Cutrone are at the bottom in bold white text. Gold stars connected by dark grey lines sit against a black background behind a logo that reads "Omens Rising". The O in the text has a slit pupil in its center making it look like an eye, and the Ns in both words connect with a star cutout where their top and bottom meet. Beside the text an icon depicts a pair of cards, on which is placed a symbol of a keyhole with the same slit pupil surrounded by a triangular constellation.

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.

What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

And doctors are still paid as the result of daily LABOR.

They're WORKERS.

They're rich. But they're not The Rich.

This is not a high hurdle to get over, but I see people fall over it every day.

If you're equating doctors with Elon Musk, you are 100% not ready to be having these conversations.

doctor who makes 200K annual is VERY comfortable. That’s not wealth hoarding though lol

It’s Facebook and Amazon paying no taxes for the last decade, its being allowed to take out loans on unrealized gains in the hundreds of millions, capital gains tax lower than the tax rate of ppl who make 55k

Today we talk to Brenden and Kate of Pony Press about their two zines, Folk and Travelers of the Inky Void. Kate did the drawing for these zines and we talk about that artistic process.

I finished my entry for this year's 200 Word RPG Jam!

incaseofgrace.itch.io/free-will

There is also a tie-in APRA article for those interested in Lore: apra.incaseofgrace.com/articles/fre...

#icog
A one-page tabletop game in brown and red hues with yellow highlights. It reads: FREE WILL A game by Grace Gittel Lewis You are researchers monitoring A-112 (WILL), an entity held deep within a clandestine research facility. WILL is left alone in a room with two doors. --- PLAY 1- A player rolls a six-sided die, and narrates what choice WILL makes based on the result. Whatever the choice, WILL can accomplish it, no matter how impossible. With this in mind, you are given one directive: do not let WILL decide to leave. 1D6 - CHOICE 1: Physical 2: Emotional 3: Logical 4: Natural 5: Unusual 6: Magical 2- The narrating player then describes a new obstacle or other point of choice. 3- The die is passed to another player, and the cycle repeats. The game ends when WILL decides to leave.

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

Folks, it's some nasty air in the #PAXUnplugged vendor hall right now. A number like this tells you that the HVAC system is overwhelmed.

Your risk tolerance is your own business, but you should at least know the level of risk you're dealing with. #PAXU

More vet visits for Henson since they're suspecting some form of allergy.

It's not cheap due to vet costs here are more inspired by the US insurance crap than any notion of universal healthcare. Which is bullshit. So would appreciate work. 🧵

This is an excellent analysis and matches my own thoughts. I was hoping someone with more development expertise could explain the use of ML/AI in Arc Raiders and unpack that both in terms of technical implementation and ethical impact on the broader industry.
aiandgames.com AI and Games @aiandgames.com · 8d
The release of Arc Raiders has raised significant concerns about the ethics of utilising generative AI in a AAA game. It’s important we understand that for whatever gains AI delivers, who is losing out, and what impact does that have on the industry?
