Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

Played Bloodlines 1, now played Bloodlines 2 and craving more VTM?

Give a little spin to my short, Bloodlines-inspired game, Santa Monica by Night, made in 7 days a while back, but it still means a lot to me ❤️

The options boss of Ghost of Yotei is Fromsoft levels of frustrating. Bllllllargh!

This is not a criticism of the choice of the devs, just the screaming of one man who just has not yet gotten the bastard.
If one is engaging with the activity in a robe of eyes, may I submit Hula Snooping?

That's such an incredibly low number to hit, holy hell, I did not realize. That's just like, half my TikTok followers.
If we can sell between 5,000 and 10,000 copies of OMENS OF CHAOS, we will debut comfortably on the New York Times Bestseller list, which is a very normal thing for a book to want (and will send a very clear message about what we want as a community). We won't, but a girl can dream.

Not that there’s any one reason I’ve had to pivot away from content creation these past few months, but certainly the pile of empty promises of reciprocation I collected over the years is one of the many.
People in the content creation space and entertainment in general will never tire of asking you for things but will never put you on even if it costs them nothing.
Currently going through Yotei now, so no thoughts yet. Looking forward to it though.

a danger of generative videos that I don’t see people talking about much is how many people see a vid of anything impressive and immediately go “it’s AI” now. It’s killing creativity, but it’s also killing the *response* to creativity. I don’t want to live in a world where we underestimate ourselves
LaTia's Pakidge Watch is a huge reason Bluesky is a good in my life.

Homemade miso and braised tofu with loooooong Bok Choy. What up!
Hey boss! Well,.lemme take this chance to say thank you for helping me with some of the trickier parts of the rules and edge cases.

Came across your channel and very helpful playlists when I was skilling up. Excellent work!

We are glad you got to start your saga, Jacob, and took us with you!
Who gets to run a session zero for a Marvel Multiverse RPG session today? It's me!

This system is so fun, the books are well laid out, been a breeze and a pleasure to learn and get a handle on.

@forbeck.com and team did a, dare I say, Fantastic job.

@demiplane.com rocked the digital tools too!
Not yet. Catching up on Marvel stuff first then I will hit the library for more graphics. Thank you for the recommendation!
I now have a Marvel Unlimited account. Woe, woe unto the world!
Always been a huge comic book fan, but having run Marvel Multiverse this past weekend, I have gotten back into them in a big way.

All New Venom is absolutely sublime.

Is it 2025 and this weird gatekeeping of proper credits, especially for folks who left or lost their jobs before a game shipped, is so disingenuous and dehumanizing. It begs the question, and I say this sincerely, what the fuck is up with those in charge of putting credits together.

NOTHING is lost by properly crediting individuals for the exact contributions they made. You list the entire executive suite who never touched a key and yet people who ground on the game for years are regulated to a "and they were also here." It's not hard. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/rid...
Ridgeline lead 'disappointed' in Battlefield 6 credits
A year after EA shuttered Ridgeline Games, Marcus Lehto expressed disappointment about his former teammates being relegated to a "Special Thanks" section.

No major changes to the Brackets this time, but we've been working on clarifying some of the ~*vibes~* around each Bracket, including adding "safe turns" and delineating expectations for decks, win conditions, and gameplay.

We've also removed tutor restriction from 1 & 2.
