I imagined how goofy the shoulders would end up looking, giggled, then immediately drew it because I needed to see it made real

Seems as though today is the day where things start happening at #GAMA. If you've got a game to demo or want to bend my ear around a drink, Sunday and Monday are still fairly open!

Watching the journalists in season five of The Wire is a surreal experience. The writers are casting the newspaper as a similarly beleaguered but noble institution as police. And by that I mean budget cuts but still a career. Feels almost quaint.

Today's un-paywalled article is me talking about the Mothership Deluxe Set, one of my favorite boxed RPG products and a joy to simply interact with.

I spoke with trans and genderqueer developers about working in games in the US amid an anti-trans administration and harassment from online communities. Many feel left behind by the companies they work for. “Can’t piss off the bigots, because they spend money.” www.wired.com/story/game-d...

Fuck Ziff Davis, obviously, but it's so depressing to see Dicebreaker pinned to their brand masthead like a trophy carcass. Dicebreaker hasn't posted a new article since June of last year. You know, after the entire team was unceremoniously axed.

Back end of The Wire's fourth season is knocking some shit loose in me. This show has always been good, but it's landing every single blow with confidence.

A fascinating child game to Cyberpunk 2020 that narrows its scope to, as Pondsmith wrote, "The Children of Generation X!" It was doing the video game tutorial opening before most video games were.

Understanding that @friede.bsky.social's academic background and intentional focus is on storytelling, it's notable how little D&D-as-mechanics enters the discussion. I wouldn't know where to begin untangling a critique of something so massive, but this is a fantastic stab at the beast.
