"I heard a Xturi refer to you as a 'Noagai'," Captain Jones said. "Is that a title?" Her navigator, a Yuun, nodded. "Have you heard the saying 'For every problem, there's a Human that can solve it'?" "No?" "Well, how to find that Human?" "Er..." "They ask a Noagai." "A... You know a guy?"

Can confirm: this is Liverpool most Saturdays 😜

If you subscribe to Microsoft 365 Personal, the 40% price increase is a con to upsell you AI. Your old plan and price is still there called "Classic" - but only if you try to cancel. Microsoft should be ashamed if not prosecuted.

The Mersey River, dubbed the 'greatest river recovery in Europe,' continued to thrive with 45 different kinds of fish recorded, triple the amount from 2002.https://buff.ly/4iWIz0a #ShareGoodNewsToo

Then let it die "I'm sorry my model of stealing from you cant work if i'm not allowed to rob you you..." fuck off and die OpenAI #FuckOffAndDieOpenAI (heh it rhymes)

Can't wait.

Every conservative columnist right now.

Counterpoint: Go fuck yourself.

It's true. All of it.

Had to share this cause it annoys me. DS9 faced tons of hate, including racism. Watch the What We Left Behind doc for proof. Avery Brooks fought racism behind the scenes & even had to defend Cirroc Lofton after a security guard harassed him near set. Don’t rewrite history. Only Sisko can do that.

A games design term that is used a lot but you may not be familliar with is "swingy". It's handy to know and address if your games. So a "swingy" dice mechanic gives you wildly different results regardless of factors such as modifiers and attributes. A typical example is a D20 roll.

Really important for adding intent to your mechanics: Recognise what the resolution mechanic of your choice means in terms of probability and feel and how that affects how it feels to play with that character, their interactions with the world, and your interactions with “success”.

AMAZING!!

What do you use to paint minis when it's dark out? The "big light" in my living room isn't bright enough or anywhere close to daylight in time but desk lamps cast too much shadow. #MiniPainting #Warhammer #40k

Just a Mamba with a chrome skin 50/50 horizon split..... This game is good to look at........ #EliteDangerous #StellarScreenshots

Employers always say "no" to pay rises on the basis of a flimsy pretext - go into dispute anyway. If they threaten redundancies or job losses, they were planning those things anyway. If they try and bust the union, then the union is working, and you should keep going news.sky.com/story/budget...

EXCELLENT tips for any #TTRPG players (and DMs).

This whole thread is so full of such good points!

Post a ship that's not Star Wars or Star Trek.

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

D&D Day! I've been running a game for my wife and some friends for about 2 years. We met when we can buy it's always online (there are members of the party who have NEVER met in person). It works well and the group get on and have fun.

#StarTrekAdventures (1e) is great fun to play *ONCE YOU HAVE A GOOD GRASP OF THE RULES*. I haven't seen the 2e books but the 1e books are so difficult to use. Ruling on the fly takes ages; the rule you want is, very often, spread across two or three sections, many pages apart.

Started a #D&D group for age 9-11 in the school I work in. Running Dragons of Icespire Peak to intro the game to them. S1: they chose the Gnomengarde quest. Some easy survival roles to find food in the wild, then a percpetion check for the Ranger to find their route...

Did I misread the title?

I'm cautious in recommending block lists as mileage may vary, but this one has effectively nukes every weird British transphobe and media enabler who's shown up here without me having to:

Just like Kel, I'm also seeing none of the rapid growth in following! I don't mind so much but it'd be nice to know my silly posts are being seen by people ;-)

I've been listening to a lot of #GauntsGhosts audiobooks, lately. I really want a TV show of this series! Guess I'll have to settle for #Sharpe, for now...

If you're new on Bluesky and interested in solo #TTRPGs, there is a Starter Pack for you! And let me know if there is someone I missed who should be on this list. go.bsky.app/V6gcLEH

Trying to cut back on the amount of everything I eat (just portion sizes) and every meal feels like I'm making a terrible mistake!
