i hope this week is a lesson to so many people who think burying their heads in the fucking sand while multiple genocides are taking place makes them in any way morally good and not wildly selfish and completely devoid of advanced thought

This is why solidarity is important, and I'm glad these artists stood by their principles. They can fuck with one of you and get way with it, but they can't fuck with all of you without meaningful consequences to themselves.

Been working on a custom Dark Angels codex zine for a third edition Cityfight event. It's been fun doing the layout, writing lore boxouts, figuring out which rules to keep to hand by the unit etc. Not posting the rules text pages.

he's been more consistently progressive than a lot of the musicians who get unduly lionized by the public, which is wild when you consider that he's simply doing the most moral thing possible, what a low bar to meet and what a high cost for meeting it

Volume two features a deep dive into sewer-crawling skirmish game Ratking. Get the mag for $5 or free, it's the same PDF: deathplastic.itch.io

"The experience of teaching people the rules to a game you made is excruciating. God awful. You know how bad it is to teach friends the rules of a boardgame and have to say ‘I promise this is fun’ every few sentences? It’s that, times a thousand. So a lot of that layering is the result of asking myself ‘what rules do I need to teach a new player for them to have fun?’"

I can tell you this did not go down like they expected here in Indiana, and that the majority of the state told the monstrous people behind the push to absolutely go fuck themselves. The only way this would've been less popular is if you'd come for Dale Earnhardt. Raise hell. Praise Dolly.

Every couple of weeks or so, I sit and read uplifting news headlines to my wife for about fifteen minutes. There's a lot more of it than you'd think. I'm five years into nonprofit work and if you don't keep a balance you will find it hard to keep going without losing your humanity.

the issue with modern videogames isn't a lack of interesting ideas, it's that almost every single one of them is having the same live service season pass bullshit slapped on top because the people in charge aren't capable of coming up with a sustainable business model that doesn't abuse the audience

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

the thing about indie games is that if someone designs one single game I love, I’ll get whatever they make for the rest of their lives and pretty much always have a good time. people are so attached to ip but imo you really gotta know the creators.

RE: GIVE US YOUR MONEY, CUR

Preview: Thought you’d got away clean, huh?

Had fun on our website, did you? Course you did. It’s great.

But you think you can come around here, put items in your basket, and then swan off without checking out?

On MY WEBSITE?

I got a call from the half-dozen bug-eyed, pallid dorks we locked in the computer room until they agreed to make and run us a shop. (Yeah! We still have a computer room! What of it?) They were in tears. Really upset. They’ve spent so much time on that website, and between you and me I think they’ve figured out that we really have no intention of releasing them so this is pretty much all they have to live for - and you’d take this away from them?

There’s three outcomes I can see:
- You click here, buy whatever was in your basket, maybe throw an extra copy of Spire or something in there as an apology, and we say no more about it
- I come over to your house and stomp about on your roof until you see the error of your ways
- I have to walk down all fifteen flights of stairs from my marble and obsidian office suite (we don’t believe in elevators at RRD) and calm down the dorks by putting blankets over their heads and singing jazz classics to them under my breath

Take it from me: you don’t want me on your roof. Years of aged brandy and luxury desserts have left me hefty and cantankerous. And the dorks don’t want me to put blankets on their heads, and I can’t sing, so if anything it makes the situation worse and that just makes me angrier.

I think we can both see how this is going to shake out.

Love,

Grant “Big Money” Howitt

Pretty chuffed. One rocky moment when a silver got turned into a bronze due to a mistake from the event team but otherwise solid results and I'm excited for next year. Being ranked next to @warhammerweekly.bsky.social felt like hitting a painting goal in a huge way.
