Just here for the ttrpgs.
I love that they picked a SZA track for Hathaway II. R&B + Mobile Suits is such a vibe!
It's also appropriate in that it is a deeply horny song for a deeply horny film, if the bits and pieces I've read of the novel are anything to go by.

Sadly #TTRPG discourse evergreen meme by your friendly neighbourhood roliste.
"Rules don't matter" applies to certain TTRPG genres, systems, culture, tastes.
Improv' performers don't go around claiming "text doesn't matter" in theatre, because they know it does for actors outside their practice.

My new game Seething just went public!
It's a NSFW solo game about two people holding off a threat to their home while holding off their feelings towards one another.
They can’t do either forever.
I created Seething for #faggotgamesjam, hosted by @eclipse.gay

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.
Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

Existing disability services are deeply underfunded, aggressively audited, means-tested constantly, and can be labyrinthine to even access or maintain without assistance. As someone who spent two decades as a cog in that system, concerns about fraud are overblown compared to the real existing need.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Crawler/Carrier for a someday-project of mecha megastructure megadungeon vibes. Hopefully set in the skeletonized and overbuilt corpse of Earth from @notwritinggames.bsky.social's "RIG" universe.
I wanted something rugged, capable of traversing multiple built terrains, and uh, a carrion eater.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people
no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Since it hit my timeline and I'm feeling up to it, let's talk about Burnout.
We are going to touch on two parts of burnout that I don't see very often.
One: how long does recovery take
Two: under stimulation burnout. (Yeah it's a thing)
Buckle up, and share this for someone who needs to see it
