Great! Have a nice day, can't wait to listen to it at work.

@gurglespasm.bsky.social Sorry to bother you, but you're more active than the System Mastery account. The latest Expanded Expounded Universe went up on Patreon without the audio file, just the text description. Just wanted to make sure at least one of you is aware.

Finally, Superman III may lay down its burden as the Only Good Superman Movie.

Relistening to #NaDDPod and got to the Shadowfell arc, and I'd forgotten how well Murph played the Montgomerys as just real mid-cities dirtbags. Beau has absolutely gotten into a shitfaced fistfight in the parking lot of Six Flags.

Holy dang, I mean this with all respect, but I kinda thought this show was dead. Super glad it's not! I'll start it in about a half hour.

I....I am overwhelmed by this.

Magic: The Gathering players just raised $50,000 for @translifeline.bsky.social in 4 hours!

Everyone donating, everyone throwing in prizes, everyone spreading the word...thank you.

I am at a loss for words. Thank you for supporting this amazing cause. 🏳️‍⚧️

And if you feel slighted by being excluded for not being wealthy enough, don't worry! Through the power of trickle-down economics, eventually you might get to be a second-class citizen of #FallenLondon

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 11

Congratulations to @failbettergames.bsky.social and their Kickstarter for breaking $300k on it's first day! Proving that manipulative and exclusionary tactics win at capitalism! The Masters were the real heroes, all along! Hip, hip hooray!

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 11

Just to be clear @failbettergames.bsky.social , was liking this post indicative of a shift in policy, or just a mean-spirited jab? Honestly, I could it read it either way.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 11

Oh, I'll also restore my Exceptional Friendship in the browser game. Forgot to mention that.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 11

The money is on the table, @failbettergames.bsky.social you just need to take it.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 11

As I said in our email correspondence, allow me to buy the Sullier of Probabilities separate from the physical goods, and I promise here and before God that I will back the Kickstarter up to $150.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 11

@failbettergames.bsky.social As I keep saying, I want to give you money. I want to support your projects. I don't want to be extorted into buying $300 worth of ttrpg materials I cannot use.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 11

Appropriate they named it the "Master of the Bazaar" tier, 'cause that's some Fires shit.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 11

Incredibly disappointed to see that @failbettergames.bsky.social has decided to stick with their policy of exploitation. Remember, if you're not willing to throw $300 in a pit, you're not really a fan of the browser game!

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 11

Sadly, I will not be backing. Despite my desire to support your company, you've made it abundantly clear you neither value nor desire my custom or my fandom.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 8

I WANT to like you. I WANT to support you. I've probably spent over $2000 on your games over the years. But right now, your apparent stance is that I can eat shit.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 8

Seriously, @failbettergames.bsky.social I'm addressing you directly. Did you not consider that maybe some people love #FallenLondon and want to support you and your projects, but don't play ttrpgs and can't justify $300 on a product they can't use?

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 8

I know, it's ultimately on me. They're a business, so of course they believe the wealthy are fundamentally better, I just let myself be fooled.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 8

The second is ethical. Gating unique content for a different product behind $300 is absolutely vile. I'd be shocked if EA did that, let alone a company I trusted to be better.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 8

First is personal insult. Hannah making it completely clear that despite 12 years if subscription to #FallenLondon and hundreds of dollars of Fate purchases, I have no value to them because I can't drop 300 on a product I'll never use. Real slap in the face energy.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 8

I've been thinking about @failbettergames.bsky.social and my disappointment, and want to expand on it. It comes in two prongs.

Vandrew @vandrew226.bsky.social · Feb 6

It's done. After seven years on my current account alone, I've ended my Exceptional Friendship in #FallenLondon

After more than a decade, @failbettergames.bsky.social is no longer a company I'm comfortable being subscribed to.
