Me: Dragon Install is a dumb attack name Also me: shit, I literally had to install a dragon at work.

writing is so funny because you write and you go insane, or you don't write and you go insane. there's really no choice

Remember, anything can be a mimic Here's my Galleon Mimic model 3D printed by a friend :) What's fun is you can swap the bows with my original galleon model so this is pretty neat Free stls: www.patreon.com/posts/109045... I love this stuff :) #dnd #3Dprinting #3Dmodeling #dndart #3Dart

Hot take: Reading a TTRPG and imagining the world it invents is playing it

Something, something, indie ttrpg where you use magic cards to do spindlewheel. Actually, this is just the Realis class I want to write.

Trans rights are human rights and if you disagree fuck off, die.

You don’t know by looking who is immunocompromised or who may not be able to mask themselves or get vaccines. Protect yourself and protect your community!

It's never too late to start wearing a mask again! Wear them in public, in almost any context but especially when you're indoors, when 50%+ others present aren't masking, if you're in close physical proximity with others, and/or if there's scant ventilation (including lack of wind outdoors).

🚨 EMERGENCY CALL TO ACTION: We are calling for a boycott of TCGplayer to demand that eBay keeps the Authentication Center open and keeps 200 unionized jobs in Syracuse. #LayoffEBay #GreedBay TCG enthusiasts: don’t buy your cardboard from TCGplayer. 🧵

I put a significant amount of effort trying to convince students to look at the actual expertise of the people they cite. They need to ask whether the creator of any content is an actual expert in that area. If not, find a source who is.

I was in the ER 2 days ago, & the minute clinic person who sent me to the ER was THE ONLY FUCKING MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL I ENCOUNTERED THAT FUCKING MASKED!!! My wife & I were both masked, & not a one of the motherfuckers wore one or decided to out one on because we were. Not even the goddamn Dr.

Home, extremely sick, watching Yu Yu Hakusho because of Media Club Plus' constant praises

At my university, a provost said that they didn't like having English department people on committees because we were constantly asking about context, comfortable with ambiguity, and generally able to point out flaws in logic.

at first you think "ah the dog is passively having fun" and then you realize the dog knows how to steer the skateboard and THEN you learn the dog knows how to PROPEL the skateboard

Should you... I dunno, lose a bottle of an anti-anxiety medication in another state... Maybe don't wait a week to request replacements. Sincerely, a dumbass who waited a week...

Recently reading up on mtg stuff, Aerith combos really well with the 4th doctor from the commander deck, play legendary cards, get food tokens, gain life, power up Aerith... And this is how tired/awake I am at 4:30am. Out here fucking magic posting about Universes Beyond combo bullshit...

I don't play or collect MagicTG but I want this card 🪑

Yay waking up at 2:45am with a sore throat from snoring and not being able to go back to sleep due to anxiety about oversleeping... Yay...

The rats have chosen a new pope.

Pope Leo XIV is expected to have a poor initial reception, but will become much more popular when he rebrands as Leo XIV A Pontiff Reborn.

Can't believe they didn't use the 90s Bulls theme for the Chicago Pope's walkup.

Having fun going for a different aesthetic this season. Especially getting into Player characters. Uncle Nicky starts every battle with the Berserk status, so keep Esuna on lock. #FriendsAtTheTable #Perpetua

Here's everybody together. Ready to get just absolutely robbed.

Mythworks, the team behind THE WILDSEA and SLUGBLASTER TTRPGs, is forced to keep its games in the China factory warehouses due to the tariffs for importing them costing more than publishing the games.

Librarians who compare early distrust of Wikipedia to distrust of GenAI are deeply unserious people.

My second attempt at a multimaterial feather on the Prusa XL. It was printed in 22minutes with PETG core and foam TPU

For my next trick, time to breadboard out a mini lcd screen to play looping gifs for a convention badge

Went and looked at the furnace trying to see if I could change the G wire to a C before buying a new thermostat and FUCKING FIND A BLUE WIRE ATTACHED TO POST C. And I'm like ??? The fuck??? Where the fuck is that behind the thermostat. Weird, maybe it's running to something else? NOPE! UGH...

... Years ago, I got given a nest home thermostat. Go to install, no C wire, no dice. At the time was not skilled/confidant enough to run a wire through the walls. Buy a remote thermostat today, open everything up - THERE IS A FUCKING C WIRE ☆☆☆IN THE WALL WRAPPED AROUND THE MAIN WIRE SHEATH☆☆☆

There is a ton of Star Wars material--games, books, comics, movies, and even some TV--that isn't exclusively on Disney+. And if the targeted boycott changes, we'll cross that bridge. We know we are good about talking about spaceships and aliens together. There are a lot of spaceships and aliens.

So many of the BDS targets require such a miniscule amount of "sacrifice" for most people that it feels embarrassing to use that word. Especially since if anything this is a possibility to not only stand in solidarity against genocidal profiteering, but to expand your own horizons?

"Your health records will be on the block chain." "Everyone will live in the Metaverse." "All art will be NFTs." "Generative AI will replace the need for humans." We need to reckon with the reality that the tech industry no longer creates things that anyone wants.

Just a reminder: Your cute, emotionally manipulative owl is also really trying to make AI-not-people as a business model a thing.

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

LRT with every of these “NFTs deleted; now worthless” stories coming out I need you to remember that we were told it’s the future, it’s inevitable, its the future of money and your house will be registered on it and your car will be registered on it and if you don’t get it NOW you’ll be left behind.

The Danish version of Cairn comes in a dvd case with a disc you spin to get a random number from the standard dice. The disc also has the pdf on it.

Nancy. I get it. So I'll help you out. Next time we're on a flight together, I will take my earbuds out to say, "This is an eight hour flight breathing the recirculated air of 174 people why aren't you fucking masked?"

The winner so far for Most Baffling Gashapon Machine is this one which exclusively dispenses lapel pins of Billy Joel album covers.

Woo! Got into Soulframe!

We adore this part of Rowan, Rook and Decard's recent newsletter: "We might also experience other cost pressures. If we need to pay our US artists and writers more to eat and live, we will. That might mean price changes to future products"

@bandlith.bsky.social finished his prototype of the damselfly ornithopter for The Chicago Steampunk Expo @chicagosteampunk.bsky.social expect finished, more colorful versions, available there. #steampunk #3dprinting

Allllllllrighty y'all, another update post for the TTRPG AI Blocklist. Been going back through folks in the list that were blocked to see if anything changed...not the case for any so far. If there are any folks who should be here that aren't, and if I made any mistakes, reach out and lemme know.
