Hi, I’m tctc. As a lifelong dilettante, whatever you’re here for, I’m probably only tweeting about it 20% of the time. Cheers!

はじめまして、tctcです。何も中途半端だけどヨロシクね！

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

This is so fuckin funny, I’m just imagining him sitting watching gladiator 2 in his home theater going “finally some real cinema”

I just can't figure out how to make it not feel like frustrating bullshit when you don't get to see other players get hosed by the dice and die like a dog too

constantly dreaming of a combat system that feels as good as 100% Orange Juice's but one that works for a single player game rather than a party game

thinking how good it is in #AveMujica that Umiri is completely unflappable and unmoved no matter how unhinged and completely disastrous the rest of the band is but Taki says like one kinda rudely honest thing and Umiri is sent spiraling and her personality changes for the rest of the show

if you work for a publication that does this and have any idea how much $$$ your outlet makes from affiliate sale commissions on prime day, DM or signal me: jason.404

also interested if you are a journalist who is asked to do these deal roundups as part of your job

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

very occasionally it's a really good sign, but unfortunately it's always very serious evident which one it is

tctc @toastcrust.bsky.social · 19h

not a 5e fan but for what it's worth, these are all things a DM could include and there are rules to support it, you just won't often get a DM who wants design a combat arena with a very detailed environment when it's only going to get used once, ever.

and there absolutely are rules for fall damage

it's so weird for northernlion to be like world famous across the anglosphere on the internet now because I'm pretty sure I first came to know of him like over a decade ago as some random guest that would be among the autograph lines at local conventions

thinking about the gradual shift from very precious, rare, surviving, contemporary media for interpreting the past to enough contemporary media one wants to classify them to a fairly impressive array of photo and film media that requires sifting to find what's useful to literally infinite shit
