Hey everybody! I'm Matt (He/They) and I'm a queer streamer and podcaster! I love video games (especially retro games and horror games) TTRPGs and board/card games!

I'm a variety streamer, five days a week over at twitch.tv/MattCaulder, streaming all kinds of stuff including Community Choice games!

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Californians are buying ice scrapers at Home Depot, then immediately returning them....bogging down the entire store, until Home Depot refuses to allow ICE to loiter at their location to detain innocent people.

Winter is coming. Scrape ICE.

Think it's also time to start acknowledging that there's a bunch of people who don't actually play the games, and their whole engagement with the medium is doing culture war bullshit with games they haven't played as a pretext

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

Last week of the month! That means last chance for you to submit community content to the mecha ttrpg newsletter:
The Mecha TTRPG Newsletter
You are about to discover that mecha ttrpgs are legion. Or more likely you already know, and that's why you're signing up. It seems as if a new mech game is coming out every month, and so many of these games are worth reading, if not playing. How do you

this is the most important piece of video game writing since the original SBI piece. read it, and realize that if you're not in the industry, you're being sheltered from a firing squad that picks targets randomly and with impunity, ruining lives with wild abandon

Have you called your credit card processor lately?
Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

This is what happened to me. Employers across the board need to be aware of how harassment campaigns work and do better to protect their employees from them. These people should not have a platform to profit off of harassment.

The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

And once you're on these people's radars, you don't leave it.

Either they keep tabs on you, or their fans do it for them, and any chance they can use your name for content (money) they do it.

Stand up for your employees.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Any Dropout TV or Game Changer fans looking for a cute little treat?

I sold these Game Changer earrings at a Dropout Tribute show and these are the 6 pairs.

Would love to see them go to fans, so happy to sell them for $5 plus shipping (probably cost of a regular stamp?)

DOGE was always a very thinly disguised con to dress up data theft and extraction class destruction of federal corporate oversight as innovative, and it's important to remember that part of the reason it worked so well is that the press helped legitimize it
hey don't be so hard on yourselves; it delivered oceans of sensitive government and citizen data to billionaires
