No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

I've rationalized such things in the current dungeon I'm doing as it is a filter, sort of a higher level funnel. If players can get through they can reach Atlantis.

I’m now entering Month Three of my job search after losing my previous role. I have 20+ years of customer experience work to my name, much of it working with F500 customers. If you or someone you know is able to help connect me with an opportunity, please reach out. My email is in my profile.

Hmm, I've met Designer X a couple of times. And I've seen Big_Dog Beefstink at work (virtually) in the Over/Under. The former can call on a Sheboygan-eating creature, the latter Guerilla Droids and Hyenamen. 'Age & treachery' are powerful tools but this matchup is difficult to call.

Had some free time, made a small #Dragonbane battlemap. Took about an hour. Three layers of corrugated cardboard, (one for the base, middle for the map and top for the walls). Gray self-adhesive weather stripping for stones. It’s paintable and really easy to cut into stone shapes with scissors.

Factions of people reacting to the idea of AI in H. Beam Piper's, "The Cosmic Computer", 1963. Merlin is a "giant strategic planning computer".

"There was a growing sentiment in favor of turning the entire Government over to the computer as soon as it was found. To his horror, Conn heard himself named as chairman of a committee that should be set up to operate it. The moderates, who had merely wanted Merlin used in an advisory capacity, were dropping out; the agitation was coming from extremists who wanted Merlin to be the whole Government, and now the extremists were developing an extreme wing of their own, who called themselves Cybernarchists and started wearing colored-shirt uniforms and greeting each other with an archaic stiff-arm salute, and the words, "Hail Merlin!"

And the followers of the gospel-shouter on the west coast were now cropping up all over the mainland, and on the continent of Acaire to the north, and another cult, non-religious, was convinced that Merlin was a living machine, with conscious intelligence of its own and awesome psi-powers, a sort of super-Golem, which, if found and awakened, would enslave the whole Galaxy. Fortunately, these two hated each other as venomously as both did the Cybernarchists, and spent most of their energies attacking each other's meetings. The news-services were beginning to publish casualty lists, some heavy enough for outpost fighting between a couple of regular armies.

One thing, it helped the employment situation. Everybody was hiring mercenaries."

And most people don't actually truly random numbers, they want "Deck of Cards" 'random', i.e., there are 4 aces in the deck and if you keep pulling cards you'll find them.

Yeah, IMTO all air rafts are convertible and with the top down they can be environmentally sealed and pressurized. Because of some book I read with "grav sleds" I picture this.

It still boggles me that these aren't simply "air cars". "Air rafts" are "air cars" with the top down.

In HackMaster 4e Pixie-Fairy is a default ancestry option. I had a player choose this. Always flying and up to an hour of Invisibility per day. Thought she could infiltrate the naga's lair without any danger: Fine fishnets as curtains with little barbed fishhooks put a stop to that.

The answer is nets. And curtains that make a lot of noise.

As a member of Gen X, I would never trust Gen X. I grew up with these people.

Bloo Rugby (of The Racoon Protocols) @bloorugby.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Gen X was always conservative, and growing that way. Perhaps in reaction to perceived liberalism of Boomers. In the 80s, it seemed a constant refrain about how church attendance was going up, conservatism growing, Reagan was very popular. Gen X liberalism was mostly short term teenage rebellion.
