So an interesting game came up in my Steam Discovery cue, a 1940s detective story. This sort of thing is my jam. Then there was their AI disclosure. "All the game content has been created and crafted by humans, with great effort, love, and dedication." then why taint that with AI for a few posters?

Just a reminder to check you/your kids candy. My Reese's peanut butter cup had a weird gross marshmallow substance in it. Someone could have died... of disappointment!

#lostcat #pittsburgh if anyone sees this cat let me know, his name is Jzargo. He is very friendly but a bit skittish. He went missing around Peebles rd in the north hills of Pittsburgh earlier tonight.

Dampiar - D&D 5e - the half vampire just resonates with me. It is a tragic figure with a lot to work with. Also I love anything with a climb speed.

2. Mutant Alligator - my friends currently unreleased game based on Gamma World - Big brutes with high physical strength. Mostly I like them because you can take the mutation Wings and be convinced you are a legendary dragon from before the great war like you saw in a book once...

Clarification, it is for a game called Children With Wands about children who are bad at casting spells. So it being a bit kiddie is ok.
