If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

We are playing at the echoplex with the too stoned Nintendo band aka American Hifi tonight. NOT the regent. The show got moved. You may be SHOCKED to learn there are still tickets available. Come out unless you'd rather not

Normalise citing things that aren’t entirely relevant to the point you’re making but offer an interesting extension to the discussion. #AcademicSky

I had the chance to playtest this a couple of months ago and it is🔥!

Thank you @wobblerocket.com for the boost - we don’t share the starter pack as much as we should!

If you haven't played 1000xResist yet, I highly recommend it!

the John Wick universe is what you get if someone explained everything about Vampire: the Masquerade except that the characters are vampires

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

This was such a good time. I need to get back into playing The Sprawl more!

Live in a couple of minutes, chummers!

SUPER RARE OPPORTUNITY! Watch a game designer play their own game! ALMOST NEVER HAPPENS DUE TO A CURSE! The Sprawl, on twitch in half an hour!

Day 3 of #KiwiRPG Week - Shadowrun in The Sprawl!

ONE HOUR until #TheSprawl gets Shadowrunny! Actual play for #KiwiRPG

T-80m to go-time, crew! Tonight I'll be playing Shadowrun In The Sprawl in the #KiwiRPG stream.

I have a joke about Sappho b[ut ].

The #KiwiRPG itch bundle has a lot of awesome games, and includes my latest game, Seagull: a solo journaling game about a Seagull watching a swimmer.

Tomorrow is Day 1 of KiwiRPG Week! Join us Sunday 15th June from 7pm NZST (Saturday 14th June 3am EDT / 8am GMT) for the live stream of this fun one-shot -- Night Knights: Dream Heroes, a #TTRPG for kids—and the young at heart! ⚔️ www.twitch.tv/kemuwhakatau... #KiwiRPG #Aotearoa

There are no ways to not let this become the story. The media & the moneyed-yet-mediocre who are in bed with fascists will not stop calling any space that does not welcome fascists an echo chamber until they do. It is a rhetorical trap designed convince people to welcome foxes into the hen house.

been waffling on becoming a paid subscriber of Aftermath for months. This piece was masterful, and is the reason I'm biting the bullet. Tears in my eyes by the end. Thank you @nathangrayson.bsky.social.

Dog Eat Dog is one of my favorite games. This is so cool.

For those in Los Angeles, it was impossible to separate the culture from the games. At home, it was a different story. @robzacny.bsky.social and @patrickklepek.bsky.social discuss the demonization of cities, the reality of living in perceived chaos, and more. remapradio.com/articles/a-l...

relooted is being made by a team of developers from numerous african countries, but only its white south african creative director was able to demo it to summer game fest attendees. this was most certainly not always the plan

this really is the main thing that bugs me on bluesky that didn't happen quite this way back on 2010s twitter. (back then it was mostly people who would reply to the initial joke with a slightly different, worse version of the joke.)

You do not need answers you cowardly fool. What happened was extremely clear. What you and your colleagues need to do is fight back in every way at your disposal, and then some. Start by promoting immediate impeachment for fascist scum Trump and Noem. Make that the main topic of conversation.

#KiwiRPG Week starts on Sunday! That's tomorrow if you're in Aotearoa! Here's an article from. @geeknative.bsky.social: www.geeknative.com/173802/kiwir...

This is admittedly very funny, but I'm also VERY serious when I say that all workers at 1047 Games should visit UVW-CWA dot org, read our mission statement, and then get on Signal or a similar encrypted communication app and start discussing fully organizing their workplace. :)

My feelings covering Summer Game Fest, in LA, as the daughter of a Mexican immigrant. pentopixels.com/article/summ...

this year’s summer game fest took place against the backdrop of LA’s anti-ICE protests, which proved impossible to ignore. this forced a reckoning for many in attendance: what is the point of the show, and as american society crumbles, what is the point of games?

Wired is putting both the NYT and WaPo to shame with their excellent reporting. It's one thing to say our legacy media is broken (and it is!), but being able to point to a concrete example of how you do it right makes that indictment a thoroughly convincing one.
