Metafictive anti-realist, apparently. 1/3 of LUDONARRATIVE DISSIDENTS. You can get a ton of free fiction I got paid to write from www.gregstolze.com.

I strive for a language that rich people who don’t dream can’t comprehend.
In another universe, instead of game design I’m a drummer in a band called The Corrosion Of American Sanity and we just released our fifth album, IT’S NOT MY FAULT YOUR MOM IS HOT LIKE A DOLLAR STORE PHONE CHARGER.

Perfidy.
Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

ICE drawdown? Indications point to steady enforcement activity outside the Twin Cities
Some people who observe ICE activity are skeptical about a large scale drawdown of agents in the state. There are indications that activity has decreased in the Twin Cities, but has continued outside ...

From what I remember from 2020 during the George Floyd protests, because some idiot set a small fire somewhere, we can now claim that Minneapolis was burned to the ground by ICE supporters, right?
Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Damage was minimal but police are investigating.

"Is there technology the left is excited about?" is the kind of question you only ask if you're wildly naive about technology.

mRNA vaccines. Heat pumps. Offshore wind. Urban mining. Sodium batteries.

But god forbid we're not fawning over every new implementation of Making Computers Bad At Math.

it is so funny what authors are proud of in their books. when i think back on BURY YOUR GAYS the thing i always love is that young mishas late 90s internet search history has 'zergling rush strategy' and 'rodneymullendarkslide.mov' and i just think... nailed it.

Oh, and let me reiterate that these cool #fantasy novellas are by my hand solely, no Grok, no ChatGPT, none of that crap ever.

I've been reading these stories and enjoying them. Take a look at this thread and see if your interest is piqued.
OK, lemme tell you about the #fantasy setting in which I’m currently working.

The way magic works is, it’s powered by FEEEEELINGS.

But it’s not nearly as twee as you might think.

This but jujitsu.

I mean, YES, I have a bias, but also (1) I truly believe knowing how to fall unhurt is a VERY VALUABLE SKILL and (2) grappling matters.

Slightly refurbished our FAQ/primer about tabletop role-playing.

This was done yonks ago. Mostly by asking @levikornelsen.bsky.social and @gregstolze.bsky.social on @rpg.net if I could pretty please use their existing material.

Then the rise of #TTRPG play videos made this FAQ less useful.

Who was it said, "Fascism has already been defeated in the marketplace of ideas -- primarily the idea of the B-29 Superfortress"?

I literally saw a post two weeks back in which a guy with two jobs was flagellating himself because he was short on rent, lamenting that had he donated plasma more, maybe his rent would be on time. This system is deeply fucked. Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.
Is this the “golden age” economy we’ve heard so much about?

Epstein got away with all of this in part because there were whole structures in place to facilitate what he was doing. He did not invent them. He just knew how to work them.
