Sitting down tonight w/@clearkeep.bsky.social to talk about Tourist Hole, the stories it makes & the mechanics that drive it on this month's episode of Procedures at Play
Tourist Hole is a #TTRPG that is designed to fill the gaps between games, on road trips, or at the bar.

Hot take:
the AI Doomer/Boomer discourse is almost identical to western/non-western imperialism discourse.
In both cases, the loudest participants are hoping you won’t hear a rational perspective over their screaming.
AI and imperialism both take more from humanity than they could ever offer

This.
A lot of employers don’t offer health care anymore, they offer HRA which the government the determines if that’s “affordable” which also forcing kids onto state programs which change your household.
Premiums I paid with my kids on my insurance bc I made too much: $123
Premiums now: $515

While this is 100% true, I think it’s remiss to not acknowledge the tens of millions who had coverage before the ACA, but then couldn’t afford the premiums and deductibles for their new ACA plans.
My premium went from $300 to $1,200. My deductible went from $0 to $5,000. I could not afford care.
My premium went from $300 to $1,200. My deductible went from $0 to $5,000. I could not afford care.
Before the ACA (Obamacare) people legit died or lost their homes due to illness they could not afford to treat
I know that sounds dramatic but it absolutely happened

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Absolutely disappointed in @11bitstudios.bsky.social for this. There is no argument for the use of Gen AI in anything, this and future games are coming off my wish list for the time being.
there's more damning evidence in-game, even, but it's all background stuff that you have to go out of your way for
there's text crawls where you can still see the AI prompt responses before it produces a bunch of science jargon
wild that they've dodged disclosures all things considered
