AKA "LARP DAD": director of LARP at Momocon, game player and designer, hobbyist cook. Professionally a software engineer with more experience than I really want to mention (because it makes me feel old).
The Internet Algorithm spit this at me tonight, which led me down a rabbit hole of 80's soft pop melodies singing death metal lyrics, and videos that appear to have been shot by Tim & Eric's cinematographer.
I'm not even mad, that was all high praise.

Regarding what I am seeing about #HasanPiker. A person that you agree with can also be a piece of shit.
His comments of "it's just a dog" have been a tone deaf red flag.
There are other and better voices out there, seek them out and you may learn something new.

After being emphatically encouraged to do so, I have returned to my RPG project. I have decided to use the #daggerheart system because it is a more story focused system instead of crunchy interlocking numbers.
My goal is to have it ready for a couple 1st level sessions at #momocon next year.

Last night Russia did something that can only be read as a prelude to war.
During their war with Ukraine there have been multiple isolated incidents where a Russian cruise missile, a drone, or a fighter has accidentally drifted over into Polish or Romanian air space.

20-year-old U.S. citizen Adrian Andrew Martinez was swarmed by ICE in Pico Rivera while defending someone. He never hit back—just struggled—before being slammed into a CBP van. No records. No lawyer. His mom can’t find him. This is abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

Just to be clear, ICE is breaking the law right now. Not regarding them grabbing people off of the street... Congress fucked up and left enough wiggle room in immigration law for the Trump administration to do this.
