Fuck sake I’m trapped living in a nonsense society run by children and fools. When a product has a dangerous defect or is broken, it is recalled. Stop giving AI companies special dispensation just because they’ve slapped a couple of googly eyes on some software and you’re gullible as fuck.

So far in the #CelebrityTraitors, James Blunt has come dressed as a lemon, Tron, and my flamboyant gran. I'm starting to love the man.

To understand the hobby? I'd flip a coin to pick either D&D or Pathfinder, then get them to play two completely random other games.

Ahem. *taps microphone* Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition is superior, in nearly every way, to 5th edition.

Lol. Had a glance at that Amazon data thing. I once bought a water jug so it now apparently thinks I "maintain water filtration systems." The future is just so fucking tedious.

Today I woke up and chose danger. I'm practising grinding and shaping the inner edge of some fountain pen nib slits. So far I haven't ruined any, but good job they're random spares.

Kemi Badenoch saying people earning a million pounds a year shouldn't be punished for working hard, and in all my years on this earth I don't think I've ever been so naïve as to think people getting that much money are working hard.

“How did you get into TTRPGs?” Moved about all over the country when I was a kid so I used games to make friends. Like rattling a box of treats at the back door to attract your cat. Can’t remember how I first came into contact with them tho. Probably the Fighting Fantasy pipeline.

This ended up looking a bit like that Fantasy Europe framework-y thing that got shoved in the back of 3rd edition RuneQuest. It was fun. Will probably carry on this weekend.

This. And also, whilst solo gaming has definitely had a surge in popularity recently, it's not a new thing. I've been doing it since I bought Advanced HeroQuest and was blown away by the solo rules. That was 1990.

Big traffic jam caused by a car stopped in the middle of the road with the driver slumped forward. I’m not sure what was worse; that I was the only person who went to help, or the fact that she wasn’t having a medical emergency, just texting on her phone. What the fuck is wrong with people?

That’s because the decision has already been made. The issue being debated is merely the post-hoc justification. Where decisions happen and where debate happens are different places. The idea that debate leads to policy outcomes is a fiction designed to create an impression of democratic consent.

If you add "at my table" to the end of every TTRPG opinion you hear or read, suddenly the hobby has nobody proclaiming their opinion as universal truth, and all is well. 👍

A rare free day and I am in the mood for worldbuilding. Don’t know what. Don’t know where. But at some point today, stuff is going to be scribbled down that’ll never see the light of play. It’ll be glorious.

Realised I hardly ever use my phone or tablet to consume media anymore. There are just too many fucking ads. Ads at the start. Ads at the end. Ads every 90 seconds. Ads in the middle of sentences. Ads in the middle of other ads. I have to use a desktop or laptop packed full of adblockers.

I often think we underestimate the brute force influence that nearly two decades of rage bait and click culture has done to the fabric of society. Normalising outrage, increasing intolerance, or just emboldening the hatred.

I dunno, if you design something that keeps doing things you "did not intend" then you're a shit designer and should probably chuck it in the bin.

More 2nd edition was played this weekend, with the Imperial Guard taking their turn to feel the wrath of my Cult. We played the Tyranid Attack mission and gave the Guard some sturdy defences, but this wasn't enough to save them from the Cults many grasping arms. #Oldhammer #Warhammer40k #Nerdlings
Some brightly coloured alien miniatures advance across a lurid battlefield of ruins and skull shaped idols.The soldiers of the Imperial Guard wait patiently in their defences, anticipating the inevitable attack.A Cult landspeeder, supported by a small squad of infantry, banks round some ruins to flank the defenders and open fire on their flank.On the right flank the Cults tank and infantry advances through the ruins, whilst on the main command bunker the patriarch and his brood step out of a warp portal to tear the Imperial commander in to soggy confetti.

Woop woop. Second Transhuman Space session today. Also this group’s first experience of GURPS in play. They enjoyed the character creation process, which is the complicated bit, so I wonder what their impressions will be.

Even the version of DuckDuckGo specifically designed to filter out AI is now just awash with slop. Everything now takes fucking ages because I have to check and double check anything and everything I read on the internet. AI is a massive time waster.

I am once again pleading for any RPG creators who make PDFs to put *something* on them to let me know what game this is for. When I am trying to sort through hundreds (or thousands) of files and I come across handouts.pdf or charsheet.pdf, I'd really like to put them with their parent game.

Regular reminder that JG Ballard’s final novel, “Kingdom Come” (2006), is about a far-right English town which creates their own militarised breakaway state in a shopping mall, where they worship the gods of St George and consumerism. Old JG wrote it as tongue-in-cheek satire. At the time.
