I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

@Nick_Davidov Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops" Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything. It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure. She didn't have Time Machine. Disc recovery tools can't see anything. I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days). I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

Got my copies of the collected Ghostbusters: Dead Man's Chest! It was an honour to be invited onto this IP, and a pleasure to work with this awesome team. I'm really proud of our mini-series! It's got everything you could ever want (if what you want is ghosts, pirates, and family bonding).
Ghostbusters: Dead Man's Chest beautiful cover by Tyler Crook: a painting of the Ecto-1 rounding a New York street corner with a ghostly pirate ship rising from the road behind it. Writer: David Booher Artist: Aviv Or Colorist: Cris Peter Letterer: Jimmy Betancourt The back cover, a black background with a panel from the comic showing the Ghostbusters (Spenglers & Grooberson) in a pirate-y attire. Now that they’re getting the hang of busting ghosts in the Big Apple, the Ghostbusters’ increasing notoriety is throwing them for a loop. While Trevor tries to plan a “friendiversary” celebration for him and Lucky, Phoebe struggles to genuinely connect with her classmates. Things seem to be looking up when she meets Sammy, a fellow outsider who might be a real friend instead of just a social media follower. But friendships new and old have to take a back seat to more immediate concerns when Phoebe’s new friend uses a cursed saber and accidentally summons the ghost of Captain Kidd, who threatens to transform NYC into a ghostly pirate town! Jump back in with the Ghostbusters in the second comics series collection, exploring their adventures in New York! Written by David M. Booher, with art by Aviv Or, colors by Cris Peter, and lettering by Comicraft’s Jimmy Betancourt. Collects Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest #1­–#4. A page from the comic, showing the Ecto-1 arriving with Trevor, Lucky, and Dr. Dan. Everyone's complaining - in various levels of subtlety - about Trevor's driving. The following page, showing Dr. Dan's anticlimactic reunion with his teenage child. Gary offers fatherly advice.

I want to run something that fits these criteria:
- Not D&D 5e
- 3hr or less one shot
- kitchen sink fantasy setting (see: Forgotten Realms, Barkeep on the Borderlands)
- light tone
- crystal clear quest
- contains the potential for a small dungeon
- contains the potential for social politics

From our recent #Pathfinder session. When we started the campaign our GM said "you're not really going to need Diplomacy in this dungeon" and we keep trying to prove him wrong.
A short sketchy comic in a limited palette, made up of two rows. The top row has a wide panel showing a dungeon-y encounter, and three smaller panels on the right with talking heads. Panel 1: In the foreground, three adventurers (orc, catfolk, gnome) approach a campfire with an aggressive-looking werewolf, a wolf, and a small person lying in a bundle. Caption with an arrow pointing at the werewolf: Angry, magic-wielding werewolf who disappeared after murdering ten people in a frenzied rampage through town five years ago. Caption pointing at the wolf: His very loyal, very feral wolf. Caption pointing at the person on the ground: The lovable local druid he kidnapped, lying drugged and uncounscious. Panel 2: Close up of the orc, pleading. Caption: Bjorn, monk. (Can crush skulls with his bare fists) Bjorn: I understand your pain. I, too, know what it is like to be alone. Panel 3: Close up of the catfolk, shrugging in a friendly manner. Caption: Clay, rogue. (Two swords and sneak attack) Clay: Hey, we're not gonna tell people you're hiding here, man. Panel 4: Close up of the gnome, waving gently. Caption: Peanut, alchemist. Peanut: Puppy! Good boy! Your master is not well, we only want to help! Second row Panel 5: Similar wide angle as #1, slightly zoomed in. A caption on top reads "12 seconds later". The werewolf is holding an unconscious Bjorn by the throat while conjuring a lightning bolt that zaps Peanut. The wolf is holding Clay by the waist and shaking with a GRRRRR. Panel 6: Borderless. a lightning-struck, smoky Peanut stares ahead deadpan. Peanut: Welp. That one's on us.

Do you run a comics review website and I haven't sent you a review copy of #CrystalHeart? Please let me know and I'll throw one in your inbox so fast it'll rip a hole in the digital time-space continuum.
(sharing is highly appreciated!)
A pile of three Crystal Heart books laid on a white surface topped by another standing one. There's a couple of fake plants for atmosphere! The first page of the Crystal Heart comic, featuring the pitch for the setting, and a group of players eager to play. The bottom panel shows a tabletop with some dice and a character sheet, and reads "Crystal Heart - Chapter 1: Wild at Heart" Crystal Heart chapter 1 page 8, showing our heroes facing off against an opponent for the first time, as Nadav explains how drawing initiative cards works in Savage Worlds. Muna fails on Persuasion, Mac activates his armor power, and Raf fails on a stealth roll (the panel shows a crouched butt peeking out from behind some shrubbery).

When I first played Outer Wilds I frustration-quit pretty quickly. But the start of AboutOliver's playthrough of it oozed so much genuine joy of exploration and discovery that I just had to try again, with a refreshed mindset. Finished yesterday. Highly recommend both.

The inconvenient truth here is that there's almost no money in TTRPGs, which means that A) the field is full of deeply unprofessional people B) basically every success story comes from pre-existing money C) idealistic notions that this time it'll be different make it easier to exploit people.
