I implore all GMs to get enough rest before your sessions. Staying up too long when prepping might get you good ideas, but getting enough sleep is more important for your mind than you know in pretty much all aspects of your life, don't neglect it. #ttrpg

The FFXIV subreddit is hilarious because they'll announce a sexy succubus character and someone will draw sexy succubus fan art of her, and it'll have like 1500 upvotes and the comments are full of people bitching that they drew the sexy succubus TOO SEXY.

Listening to the dogshit joke-music that made me laugh when I was thirteen

It's even funnier now

People seem to have forgotten the rules of "Don't Feed the Trolls" and "Block Indiscriminately".

Those are rules here on BlueSky, by the way.
Working on a thought-tool called "stupid drunk guy in a bar". Works like this: If the take you're responding to is essentially being mumbled by a clearly very stupid drunk guy in the bar you're at, is it worth starting a big public discussion with him?
Today we've decided to center:

- some genre author with fewer than 2k followers who said something insipid about an industry where he has no relevant experience or connection

- a Cato Institute ghoul with the handle "normative" and a substack smugly saying we need to be more serious about eugenics

My birthday today. Got a party, then once I come home, I'm doing a shorter ttrpg session due to time constraints.

Party are going to fight giant eagles who are making trade difficult by killing and eating horses and packmules and such.
The party's plan is ASS so it'll be a good time.

reminder: It is illegal to use a device like the Allmiibo ($12) to skirt around the $30 greed of a $4b company UNLESS of course you own every Amiibo and manually scanned them into the Allmiibo (after wiping it because it comes preloaded with all of them)

you should never do this

@disturbedarty.bsky.social Hi, I'm very sorry to bother you, but is there any chance you could change something in the ttrpg feed?
It pulls in any instance of "dnd", even in the middle of words, which means it pulls in a lot of youtube links not related to TTRPGs, clogging up the feed a lot.

Thing most people probably already knows, but assuming you're playing trad ttrpgs, the other people's turn is for figuring out what you're gonna do on your next turn.
Don't sit around idly while waiting for your turn. Read your spells, figure out who to attack, get the right dice ready, etc. #ttrpg

An easy way to explain luddites:

Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.

And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.

That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

Starting the conversation with talk about something everyone is very interested in, but slowly, secretly, and slyly making it devolve into bohrokposting.

A PbtA MC was arrested last month for repeatedly making the consequences of success-at-a-cost worse than failing outright.

At the trial, the judge initially wanted to sentence them to 40 sessions of Dungeons and Dragons 5e, but he was talked down to just execution by lethal injection instead.

Saying “reading books in public is performative” is a very quick and simple way to communicate to me that you are a stupid little pig I do not need to listen to and in that sense I appreciate it

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖

Hint. Fucking. Hint.
Harry Potter x Fortnite coming in Chapter 7

(In other words, Fortnite is adding a transphobic authors work into Fortnite)
