These games can be super fun. If you haven't tried a text-based role-playing game on discord before, it's worth a shot!

That they spent real peoples paid time writing this is.... A choice that was made.

Don't be fooled by the "slow down" rhetoric from LLM companies. Slow or fast doesn't matter. Safe matters. And safe is how you use it. I don't care how fast they develop these technologies. What I care is that they aren't used by the US government to spy domestically on its citizens. Which it does.

In this analogy the author, having done research, is in a Lamborghini. And you, just commenting on bluesky, are yelling at her from your bust-ass Corolla telling her she is driving it wrong.

Also fellow Wardogs players. You don't need to build 4 tall walls. Just build tank traps around your fob so enemies can't drive up too the wall and jump over it from on top.

GorillaOne @gorillatactics.com · 17/09/2026

Dear fellow Wardogs players. Please make smaller fobs. Much smaller. Every match the fob is an enormous and unwieldy beast that leaks enemies like a siv. Just make a small fob with a few recon towers, a bunker, and a drill pump. Or mortars.

Correct, company shares, not profit sharing. I stand corrected.

They do get profit share. The entire interview is worth watching.

Dario and AI execs messaging is entirely for marketing purposes. LLMs can do some pretty interesting things, but the largest threat they pose is their use by governments to domestically spy on citizens. Anthropic suggests slowing down while they themselves go as fast as they can.

I miss that show. I understand why it wasn't popular enough to continue, but it was solid.

Wardogs is neat, and I like what they are doing. It would improve substantially if they modified the smaller hot zone to allow a more strategic approach.

These posts all need to be viewed through the lens of marketing and lobbying. Their intended audience is fomo investors and politicians who will regulate the industry to insulate it from competition. It isn't intended to make sense to ordinary people, or people who pay attention to how it works.

I surveyed 200 players and learned that most OSR games fall into two tiers of lethality - Meatgrinder and Picaresque. Table culture determines lethality more than system or campaign length. valerialoves.com/how-deadly-i...

If they legitimately ran out of money, this could be a way to potentially keep these folks employed. But its hard to have any faith in game companies these days given that firing staff after a successful game release has become standard practice.

They disinvented the VCR. You might think that the reason we don't have VCRs anymore is because VCRs were supplanted by DVDs, PVRs and streaming, but that's not the case. They had it in for the VCR from the very start, and they never stopped trying to kill it. Eventually, they succeeded. 1/

A 1960s family living room in which a mom, dad and two kids are mesmerized by a cabinet-style TV. The image has been altered. The TV has an early 1990s VCR atop it. The TV screen is displaying a cross-sectioned human head with brains and spine on display. A huge fist has materialized in the room, with bloody spiked knuckle-dusters, smashing into the VCR. The oil painting over the sofa has been replaced with a pulp image of a male head, its cranium removed and replaced by a dome. Inside the dome is a red eight-segment VCR clock, displaying 12:00. The background in the painting is a tangle of cassette tape. The whole image's colors have been boosted, giving it an overexposed look.

I felt exactly the same yesterday. I've started noticing major websites that are just horribly optimized. The Best Buy website is always terrible. And if you cycle through product images it reloads the _entire card_.

Turns out that adding style presets is kind of a mess when... my CSS is a mess. HOW COULD I HAVE KNOWN!? Nobody warned me. Madness. Well, now Loreframe has a few style presets, but I'm holding off on more until I really clean up the CSS. For my sanity. My favorite preset is Vile Banana.

A style preset with a light theme, charcoal panel header and map backgrounds, and black text with pink text for highlights.

A style preset with a dark theme, black panel and map backgrounds, blue text with yellow text for headers and text highlights.

Love hating on presidents as much as the next guy. Worth noting That an enormous portion of that was during his first term spending on covid. Biden also increased the debt by 8 trillion during one term. So not exactly a useful comparison.

Reading LLM output is exhausting. Even if it's short (never) your reading output it gives you, your reading documentation created by it, your coworkers are spending their last moments on this earth before you put them out of their misery sending you a LLM generated response to your question. Tiring.

It honestly shouldn't shock me that some of these guys are legitimately spending money in ways which make it clear they just don't know what to do with their wealth and so are grabbing stuff. And it never crosses their mind to just... give it away to people who need it.

If you read the terms, you are basically renting. What should be made illegal is the use of the term buy. They should have to call it leasing explicitly.

Well, turns out my product email list signup was down for a few days because I disabled a page in the newsletter software settings which... apparently also disables signups entirely. That's bogus. Bad documentation! Anyway, back up now.

GorillaOne @gorillatactics.com · 13/08/2026

Thanks! Yeah, it might take some testing. The idea is that the symbology is additive and that stuff which is similar has related symbols but, as you mentioned, maybe that makes it a slop to the eye. We will see! Users can always opt for straight up pictograph icons if these don't work.

While I've had icons for the maps in loreframe.app for a while, they were not exactly the style I was looking for. I really wanted to stick to SVG icons and really make it look like a retro map with symbols and a legend. So I came up with a framework and then threw together a sample. Check it out!

A infographic showing off various shapes which will be used to identify entities on a map. The outer shape (circles, squares, triangles) are used to identify the entity type, while the symbol inside of it defines the subtype. Further attachments (shapes attached to the border or outside of the shape) further define functionality, such as ships with weapons, or science modules.

For GM's, a world-building app needs to not only make it easy and fun to create awesome worlds, but also to prep for running sessions with their friends. I just added tool to Loreframe that lets gm's print out session prep! loreframe.app?utm_source=b...
