Extremely depressing to be back at University right now and hear professor after professor offhandedly mention how something interesting *would* have been a good assignment before AI pushed them to focus more and more on exams and in-class work.

Received my copy of the Ars Magica definitive edition, which looks extremely nice in print. Now to start scratching at my friends' doors like a cat begging to be fed until a few poor souls agree to join me in a game of Wizard Academic Time Management Simulator.

Cover of the Ars Magica Definitive Edition slipcase. The reddish brown cover is rimmed with gold leaves and vines. Three gold serpents coil around each other to form a series of triangles within a circle.

The slipcase and its contents, the rulebook open to a two page spread showing a seaside castle, a map of Mythic Europe, a GM screen, and a reference guide spread out on a table.

LRP: It is incredibly frustrating how many otherwise decent people just will not recognize transphobia as an actual moral failing as long as any specific transphobe isn't too weird and tacky about it.

It goes without saying but just in case: You absolutely do not have to hand it to JK Rowling. Even if she DID mean what she says about trans adults (which she doesn't, she is constantly attacking trans adults just trying to live their lives) it doesn't mean anything given the HARM she has caused

I do think we should be demanding to know who the person or persons sent on this mission were and where are the expenses for their flights? Because, very possibly, the only thing a party could do that’s creepier than sending a staffer to take beach pics of a rival — is sending a volunteer.

I semi-regularly use the island airport, and I had to throw my hands up and quit this obviously slanted survey halfway through because they kept lumping *all* improvements to the airport or “passenger experience” with lengthened runways, and it isn’t remotely subtle what they’re trying to do.

5. What are your top three considerations for the future of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport?

_ Airport passenger experience (such as increased destination options, airport accessibility, etc.)

_ Economic or social considerations (such as job creation, economic development, tourism, etc.)

_ Environment (such as protection of existing ecosystems, species at risk, climate change, air quality, etc.)

_ Ground transportation (such as vehicular traffic, public transit, ferry, active transportation, travel time, etc.)

_ Land use planning (such as housing and commercial development, public spaces, etc.)

_ Noise (such as increased noise, need for noise mitigation, etc.)

_ Other (please specify)

This sort of thing annoys me to no end, because the thing about vampires is that they aren't originally about any one specific thing. They're about anything that the fear of a risen dead thing that sucks blood with hideous intimacy can mean. Which is, as we have seen, a lot of things!

I love an immersive VR inventory system as much as the next colossal dork, but developers, please double check that your game does not require a decent percentage of players to punch themselves directly in the tit every time they want to use a flashlight.

Just got recommended a YouTube video discussing a book, only the creator used the new built-in AI thumbnail generator. so instead of showing the actual cover, it has a weird imitation with incorrect authors' names. Glad to live in the era of the one click "make this incredibly shitty" solution.

The actual cover for 'GURPS: Religion' by Janet Naylor and Carolene Julian. A robed and hooded woman stands before the gate to an ominous foggy graveyard levitating a small golden orb between her hands. The full moon hangs directly above her head, but it appears dim and the scene remains largely dark apart from the orb illuminating the woman's hands and face.

The fake AI generated "cover" for 'GURPS: Religion' crediting the book to "Janet Taylor and Gabrielle Jordan." A hooded and robed man stands before a wonky looking gate to a bunch of vague foggy nothingness holding a large, slightly squished looking, 'orb' with his extremely fucked up fingers. Everything has that generic AI glossiness to it.

This is a great article about choice in games, and I'll add my one bit of craft: if you ask the player what color their eyes are in chapter 1, and then mention their ${eye_color} eyes in a mirror in chapter 4, people will think you're amazing, they'll treat you like a damn mentalist.

Since the concept is being misunderstood and misused, let's talk about what "third-sexing" means as a mechanism of transphobia. I built on an idea first discussed in @juliaserano.bsky.social's "Whipping Girl" that discussed how, interpersonally, cis people refuse to acknowledge our genders.

The Third Sex

“The Gender Binary” is a misnomer; gender has always been a hierarchy.
