This intro came to me very suddenly ⚡️ I was out on a walk and had to sit down and type it out on my phone before it left my brain.

I really like it and I hope you do too ☺️

This is a really fun concept from @emzywb.bsky.social. Such great potential for comedy and conflict! Making myself a sad boi (tm) for it.

The RPGeeks @rpgeeksdnd.bsky.social · 24d

In a bustling city, four demi-gods live a life of celebrity: interviews, sponsorships, reality TV.

While they mingle with common folks, Greek Pantheon 'The Family' rules from on high.

Now tension is rising and these heroes are about to be caught in the middle of it.

Despite what you might think about the various Geeks and our differing sense of humor - I did not write this post.

And I'm not sure @shamini.bsky.social really understands the level of hilarious that I find it 😂

The whole cast knocks it out the fucking park, but @emzywb.bsky.social as Molly in @realmspod.bsky.social's series of Solemn Vale is astounding.

This is a phenomenal exploration of betrayal, guilt and a life that could have been, and Emily makes decisions that changed my approach to characters

It's that time of year where I become fully obsessed with the Sims.

Anyone want to get entirely distracted from what they're meant to be doing and start an impossible sounding challenge?

Great. See you at 2pm 🥰

something I'm surprised gen AI discourse didn't hit yet is the attitude "I asked for it to be done, so I made it" has always been how rich people view using workers who have trained skills and do the technical side. they see themselves as creators for having an idea, we were just a means to that end
