A few months, ago I went looking for 3D-printable hex-grid terrain for playing big robot tabletop games, specifically the mech TTRPG Lancer. I found a number of terrain systems doing a lot of cool things, but nothing I found was quite what I was looking for. So, I made my own:

I keep seeing content labelled as "for the fifth edition of the world's greatest roleplaying game" and then it's clearly written by somebody with a *very* poor grasp of the Ars Magica rules.

So many times, the entire nature of what I'm working on has changed because of things I've discovered during the "tedious" work that they claim AI will save me from. It's in fact extremely common that I don't know what a thing really is until I start trying to do the hard stuff and then I find out
Also just tapping the sign again — A.I. eliminates the opportunity for creative discovery on your way to the destination you *thought* you wanted. You’re making art, process is everything.
placeholder art is supposed to look like this. you're supposed to make it in 5 seconds.
it's a crucial part of the process because a placeholder will often be remarkably similar to the final art/text, because you were unburdened by bigger details when you made it.

There's an old scam: you send out 100 letters, half say some stock will go up and half say it'll go down. For the half that end up being right, you do it again; after 5 times, you have a few people believing you can predict the market, and a bunch who know you can't.

Literally all of society hates this abominable scam homunculus and the weird little death cult bubble of vampiric losers who spewed it forth upon the world. Take a break from bragging about how gullible you are and give yourself a swirlie and stuff yourself in a locker and sort yourself out.

This sort of nonsense is what happens when rightwingers cultivate an atmosphere that allows people to dismiss matters of human rights and scientific fact as ‘opinions’.
There’s a word for what you are when you disagree with reality. It’s spelled ‘wrong’.

I'd argue that while they're correct that "sighty" isn't really a thing, both "touchy" and "feely" are absolutely words that exist, and thus the ordinary object is not intangible, it's either irritable or emotional.

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.
My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right.
Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.

The audience’s attention is a fickle thing. Easily attained, easily absented.
But an individual believing you share especial intimacy? Fail them, & you will find few foes as focused on forcing you to fall.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is
- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)
- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)
