I haven't really read the newer books in detail but what I've seen looks good.

The discord is still up but fairly quiet, so would welcome more people on it. I had to reset the invite links due to art scammers. The links in the description of the most recent YouTube videos should work unless I have missed something up.

Finally, at 38, I was able to buy my own home.

I play video games so infrequently nowadays that I avoid getting new games before I have "finished" a previous one. That said, I struggle to motivate myself to finish Metroid Prime 4.

When your dystopian sci-fi setting with murderous rogue AI, kaiju, and acid storms feel more safe and stable than the world today.

Got Hyrule Warriors a day early. Managed to feed the Zelda nostalgia a bit since Tears.

By coincidence I got my payment one hour after posting this. :P

It's took eight years to create and is based on a modified version of Fate by @evilhat.bsky.social. It's also pay what you want.

Having written a 520-page rulebook, I now struggle with whether I should make a thorough index with "everything" or a more streamlined index with "only the most relevant things." I like the former, but it adds another 20 pages to the book.

Fortunately those comments are still very rare. The only other video I've made that's gotten comments like that was the one I made about Exalted lore and controversies.

Fun fact. My channel averages 98.5% likes to dislikes, but every single video I've made mentioning safety tools, RPG psychology, or anything remotely empathetic, I get exactly 10% dislikes.

Noticed that YouTube had flagged a comment on my latest video that was a very visceral and unhinged reaction to the fact that I had mentioned consulting people with disabilities when writing cybernetics for my game. Such a strange thing to be so angry about, but it seems I really ruined his day. Hah

Working on a deep-dive into solo-friendly TTRPGs and am looking for suggestions.

Why didn't life evolve on a planet with 36 hour days? There is so much I wish I had time for.

Mostly from DrivethruRPG, but it depends. I often buy physical books from the publisher's own shop, if they have one. Sometimes I order from local providers if shipping from overseas would be a hassle.

Dystopia Rising is (in my opinion) top tier when it comes to Storypath games. I feel like it's a forgotten gem that people should talk about more.

I've also had a character named Lucien once. It was for D&D, though. He was a tiefling bard based on the Swedish folk song "Hårgalåten". He ended up transformed into a devil by Red Wizards.

I still struggle with exercise, though, so any tips to make it fun is appreciated.

Only recently have I started to notice myself breaking the pattern, triggered by a sense of shame and a lot of positive reinforcement. I enjoy cooking now. Cleaning is a time of mindfulness. My niece thinks I'm the funniest person in the world. I can connect better with my emotions.

When looking back at my adult life, I can see a lot of patterns of apathy despite being fairly high functioning. I have a career, friends, family, am highly productive when it comes to personal passions, but failed at taking care of myself or my space. Once I started to look, I assumed dystymia.

I've wanted to improve and diversify my cooking, so the last couple of weeks I've been randomizing recipes. It's a fun challenge and it keeps me from being lazy and making things easy.

Arcane Season 2 has no right to be this good.

I haven't stopped thinking about episode 7 of Dandadan.

I wouldn't go entirely without planning. I only do that sometimes as a creative exercise and for exposure. But bullet points work for me. I also try to get some individual story hooks for each PC, because I want to engage all of them.

For bigger games I do most prep to get the ball rolling, but I work more with bullet points than typing things out. I list potential story hooks or intrigue opportunities, but I don't need to prep descriptions, like how the queen's tent looks. Practicing short impro sessions can build that muscle.

My next step is to get over the language barrier threshold and get more comfortable running sessions in English. I play regularly in English and have even held therapy sessions in English, but for some reason I've only ran games in my native tongue still.
