Damn, I am gonna have to play a new video game if that Owlcat Expanse game turns out decent.

do US liberals go into hibernation during democrat administrations or something. the ferguson protests happened under obama & last year under biden we saw police attacking student gaza protestors all the time

IF THE SITUATION WAS HOPELESS THEIR PROPAGANDA WOULD BE UNNECESSARY

More relevant than ever

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.

People will legit just make a shitty D&D hack - not even add any new classes or mechanics, just a setting and handful of new races - convince themselves they've made a whole new game and get pissy with you when you describe it as a D&D hack.

Some of y’all can’t handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

People ask me if there are non-Audible options for the audio book of SO YOU WANT TO BE A GAME MASTER. There are lots, actually. But here's a new one I just became aware of: Libro.fm notably lets you support your local bookstore. libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

6/6 #scryfallrandom is fucking with me because it genuinely gave me the six-iest card of all time before I checked what the date was.

always the shittiest people u most expect

Before the month is out we will see one liberal buy a cybertruck thinking it's a statement against trump

My understanding is that the 1992 film is the first time "Dracula has been waiting for his wife to reincarnate" became part of the lore. And it's really hard for me to believe that it wasn't inspired by Strahd in Ravenloft. Am I wrong about this? Is it actually a Hammer Horror thing or something?

I’ve been hanging onto these images for literally years waiting for the the right moment to post them and it’s safe to say that day is finally here

This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received. Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙

Thei are goinge to put AI yn a toastere and it will tell lyes about bread

We as a people need to bring back Real Time Strategy games, how else will The Youths discover industrial music and how will they develop properly without cheesey video interludes?

Tag yourself, I'm disapoofed

Ezra Klein has never won a political race. He worked for the Howard Dean campaign in 2004, then he started blogging. The only thing Ezra Klein knows how to do is sell news websites to media conglomerates and private equity firms.

Me: “Before GPS was a thing, you’d carry a big map in the car, and it would show you where to go.” Small child: “…Like a pirate?” Me: “Um… honestly, yeah.”

Meanwhile, on Andor...

Man, for as old as this is it still absolutely fucks. To think this was animated by one dude. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN_C...

AI is Getting Worse, but It's Getting Worse

Legit extremely good and important book for all those who advocate for market economies. This might be the actual economics to "unlearn"

You probably know how languages in D&D work: pretty much everyone speaks “Common” but there are also a smattering of languages different ethnic groups speak like Elvish and Dwarven. For this to make sense, it tells us something about the implied setting of D&D #ttrpg #osr #dnd

After a boss fight last week, tomorrow's game will involve a character defining choice (end character's ghostly existence and return to life, or stay a ghost and seek a new 'unfinished business'), then they'll meet some NPCs and witness carnage of next major boss fight

Really great article. I generally do away with “common” in my games and try to replace it with something that makes more sense — this article not only suggests ways to do that but also has elegant potential explanations for “species-specific” languages.

If anyone suggested I use "AI" for art or writing I would cave their skull in with a fire extinguisher

See, I always love it when a film throws a bunch of money at a couple of academics like this. Fuck yeah Professor Adler, go hog wild in the set shop being uptight about the color of the stone walls

Press organizations can get sued for slander/libel. It complicates things and makes some words (accurate as they seem) messy/fraught. But OTOH, too passive a voice and it misleads. To say nothing of that magical extra passive voice used when describing the actions of the police, which is cowardice.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

I can prove I am a US citizen because a) I have all the documentation, b) it's four generations back before you find immigrants in my family, c) I'm well-known enough that my birthplace is public record. But the system isn't designed to help anyone prove anything. nymag.com/intelligence...

Impeach the idiot. It's criminal negligence. Pity for those who live in hurricane areas of the country but did not vote for this administration.

(Reuters) - FEMA staff left baffled after the disaster agency’s head said during a briefing that he hadn’t been aware the US has a hurricane season. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fema-staff-confused-after-head-said-he-was-unaware-us-hurricane-season-sources-2025-06-02/

If your game has an inclined elevator that leads to a secret underground facility underneath a Midwestern town, then it probably rocks way harder than anything else
