I found a museum near my house that has grimoires and alchemical tomes for your perusal. Also there is a casual grail here.
It’s called the Embassy of the Free

I haven’t posted much recently due to illness and life being busy but I’m still alive! So here are some pics from some recent Dutch adventures I’ve had: Amsterdam Pride, Efteling, Amsterdam Sail 2025, and a bonus shot from Germany

I might come off as an old curmudgeon about this but I’m not thrilled by the playful infantilization and objectification of trans women by parts of the community and our allies
It’s fine if you accept being a ‘doll’ or ‘pet’ as your own identity but seeing it used to describe all of us icks me out

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Are we as a society ready to discuss how the reason the old segregationist ‘we must protect our white women from these predators’ rhetoric is used as a cudgel against trans people and immigrants is that a lot of white folks *still* believe it to be true with regard to black people?
No?

As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.

I have a long held belief that conservatives cannot understand narrative and have no ability to deconstruct story whatsoever. It’s like some kind of universal comprehension barrier that they all share. Talking to them about literally any piece of media is actually a stunning experience.
Just saw a bad "anti-woke" take recommending that people watch the expanse, and let me just say, if you think the expanse ain't "woke" then all that tells me is that you deeply and fundamentally didn't understand the expanse.

Certain people have convinced themselves so thoroughly that god has prepared and shielded them for any test that they’re accelerating us all toward tribulation. Any sane god would find them all lacking but unfortunately we will all be punished for their hubris

A good reminder that while Metal Gear Rising was incredibly loud and completely devoid of subtlety, people mistook that for being dumb.
It is not. It's one of the most clear-eyed and pointed political satires AND most plausible takes on cyberpunk around.
It is the Rage Against The Machine of games

What’s one trivial belief you have that you have no factual support for but still firmly hold?
Mine is that the zombie game ‘7 Days to Die’ is extremely popular with Mormons

FYI, it’s at around 4 times more likely that your child will be born trans (~0.5-0.6% based on self-reported population in the US) than you being dealt a full house in a game of poker (0.14%)

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.
