ISAT is probably the best game I’ve played in a long while. It’s a very special experience, I highly recommend it.
forksthousands.bsky.social sid ✨️ comms open! @forksthousands.bsky.social · May 10
my partner just finished a playthru of In Stars And Time - what an absolutely special and heartfelt little game, it'll stay with me for a long time ⭐️
An illustration of the game In Stars And Time. Siffrin is framed in the center holding his dagger and Craft sign. Surrounding him are his party members' portraits framed in gear cogs. In the background is Dormont, the Favor Tree, and the House of Change. At the top is the King with his hair flowing around the illustration, and at the bottom sits two Loops, one looking wide-eyed and the other winking.

Mordred, the fire genasi barbarian #dnd
Illustration of Mordred (he/him), a fire genasi with dark skin, flaming orange hair, and glowing tattoos covering his arms that look like molten lava. He wears a burnt vest, orange sash, dark leather pants and boots, and he holds a large axe over his shoulder. He's posed sitting on a set of steps with one leg propped up higher than the other, and he's looking towards the viewer with a smile. (belongs to @alygoesrogue)

This is one of the worst violations of research ethics I've ever seen. Manipulating people in online communities using deception, without consent, is not "low risk" and, as evidenced by the discourse in this Reddit post, resulted in harm.

Great thread from Sarah, and I have additional thoughts. 🧵

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

The Lady Antiope, with burdock and yellow lily #dnd
An illustration of Antiope, a half-elf woman with pale skin and long red hair in a braid. She wears a flowing blue dress that hugs her body as she poses sitting on a pedestal, showing one long leg in the slit of her dress. Her right hand is perched delicately on her knee, and her left arm is outstretched, holding onto a cane. She has an aloof smile and is haloed by yellow lilies, which symbolize lies and playful beauty, and burdock, which symbolize falsehood and "touch-me-not." Belongs to @painting.roses

The first meeting of the Sheikah warrior and Queen Zelda
#lozau #tricurse
A scene where Riko kneels before Zelda offering his services to her. A disembodied narration speaks: We the Sheikah have lived and died by our tradition. Long have we served this realm with one hand in the shadows, and one in the light. This task now falls to you, Riko. Many think that our loyalty lies solely with the Hyrulean royal family - in truth, we serve Hyrule itself and its peace, which has seen great peril since the Revivial of Evil... and the reign of the Queen. A scene where Zelda bids Riko to stand. She has a harsh scrutinizing gaze before turning around to have him follow. The last panel shows Riko's hand on the hilt of his hip blade. The narration continues: She is unstable. She is dangerous. If left unchecked, she could lead the kingdom to its ruin. She must be watched carefully. You will serve at her side as a show of good faith. Train with her, stay within reach, gain her trust. Use your judgment. A shot of Zelda's back as she walks forward confidently with no heed to Riko. The next panel shows a close-up of Riko's face narrowed in a determined glare as he stares at Zelda's back like a target. The narration continues: In that moment when she steps out of line and turns her back on the greater good, you must take action. Be swift, decisive, and silent as the shadows - as we Sheikah have always been.
