god I'd love this. A lot of the attempts at KH RPGs seem to just straight up use Disney properties and that's just nowhere near as interesting to me

My mother was a horrid woman but I really maintain one of her biggest sins was not teaching me Spanish. Being severed from your culture like that is a unique kind of pain. Thankfully you can fix it, but god damn is it hard as an adult.

The world cup is a tournament, not just the big game. I think you're conflating the world cup with something like the superbowl lol The final match of the world cup is happening specifically in New Jersey but bracket matches are happening all over the place.

I think a skill we should all cultivate in ourselves (including me!) is the ability to celebrate wins while acknowledging that there is much work to be done. We can't wait to celebrate until a total victory because those don't exist. We have to be able to celebrate the gains we make along the way

Thanks for putting this into words I haven't managed to find. If this country is truly divided, I'd hate to be whole if it includes those people. Like you said, the problem sure as hell isn't the division.

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

The AP scene couldn't give two shits about trans people writ large. It's a scene full of ego and self interest, constantly wondering why everyone who sticks around is slowly hemogenizing into the same demographics we see domineering all media, refusing to think about why this is happening.

If you’ve ever said “arm the dolls”, listen up!! A trans woman is in need of legal defense funding help. Please spare a dime for one of your sisters and help all of us in the end. Trans people should have the right to defend ourselves just as cis people do “by any means necessary”.

Hello friends. If you're wondering WHY I've been MIA, the truth is I've been in between places here in Chicago. FINALLY I found a place (for a few months) and I'm trying to help raise first months' rent until June 1st, when I start my new job! If you want to help, please donate/spread the word!

In other words I'm making a kind but kinda pedantic argument and trying to highlight less successful but still noteworthy games in the process

Idk if boring protagonists is what the freaky mecha audience is looking for necessarily But the actual point I was making was that idk if "cornered" is the right term for this audience. There's very clearly space for and widespread appreciation of other contenders, which is good!

lmao fair. I've gotta give the mechsplo supplement that recently dropped a shot, maybe it's the best of both worlds

Rain @linkstrikedev.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
Isn't that fair to say of most mecha media though /gen Asking as someone who's like barely getting into the genre but that was the vibe I got. I feel like that would be a strong appeal if anything

What was the point of saying this even? Yeah obviously. Fuck Biden, fuck Harris. I hated voting for both of them, but yes I still did. That doesn't mean they're above critique. Biden's a fucking liar.

I try to make it my golden rule that I don't ask for a check unless there's an external force acting against the character attempting something. Which is basically never the case for lore checks This needs to be codified into RPG mechanics more often for real

Zionism is going to naturally end up being most popular with liberals like Biden. The right occupies a fascinating space where they're both highly imperial and highly antisemetic. Sometimes the antisemitism wins and they break off from Israel for all the wrong reasons.

You do smth honestly unthinkable and put together an RPG that should only be feasible with a whole team with two people, and your reward is folks wondering where all the supplementary content is
000
Rain @linkstrikedev.bsky.social · 10/04/2026
Yeah I think that's definitely the funny thing about it. The perceived production value makes it look like a project with a lotta hands behind it, and I'm sure C/C also contributes to that perception even though it's a third party app And like that's not a critique, just a funny outcome

Rain @linkstrikedev.bsky.social · 09/04/2026
Another example would be Pathfinder, which is also mechanically robust, and which also gets a ton of updates and supplements
000
Rain @linkstrikedev.bsky.social · 09/04/2026
I think the difference is that Lancer is a very mechanically robust system that would lend itself very well to expansion, but it's such a weird instance of two people managing to create a system that's up there with dnd in those terms, so people expect that dnd output

The third party scene is a godsend for real

Rain @linkstrikedev.bsky.social · 09/04/2026
I wonder if this is because Massif Press isn't really playing the typical game with Lancer. Any other company would go full hog, make as many books as possible. Meanwhile the Lancer community has been waiting on those field guides for a hot minute.

I need to dig into modern protest music for real. It's a shame the same circumstances seemingly don't exist for protest music to gain the same kind of traction it used to.

I think most people thought we'd have a few big socialist (at minimum) wins before we started automating everything. It falls a little flat when we've started weakening job stability and politicians won't even consider universal basic income.

You can google opportunities around you, but local indie cafes with community boards are also often hotspots! Even if there's nothing on the board it's typical for the baristas to know of some volunteers who show up often. I've gotten involved with many local initiatives by being a barista lol

Volunteering has been the most useful for me. Getting connected to your local community opens the possibility for a lot of new connections. Costs no money most of the time, and volunteer work means you can take time away from it when you need to

We need to normalize celebrating the deaths of awful people. If your reasoning under scrutiny is 'I'm not celebrating, I'm just not sad' or 'I'm just stating facts about the person', please grow a spine and party in solidarity. Sometimes people die and it's awesome. Own that shit.

I really believe *it is that deep* If you struggle to empathize with complex, messy characters who have cruelty in their hearts, how are you going you react when you find cruelty in your own? Will you stuff it down and lie? Will you shame spiral? Or will learn to love the horrid parts of yourself?
