No-one is listening to AI music. Check the subreddits and discords: AI music fans are all very proud of themselves at the music they can create but no- one is listening to it because people who like GenAI music don’t like music.

I reckon if you were a clever sociologist you could draw a direct line between the capitalist destruction of Third Places and the rise of video game and tabletop streamers for whom the parasocial relationship with the viewer is the product. Won't convince me that's not why Critical Role got so big.

I am not very bright and am trying to understand what is going on with the Man City thing. Can someone help me understand: 1. The material advantage they gained 2. How and to whom they are appealing with their claims of ”irrefutable evidence”? Is that how appeals even work?

I really don’t think that’s the case. I do think that probably these people hate femininity, which they see as weakness. But that doesn’t mean that they are secretly gay or trans. And I think that it does damage to insist that they are. Maybe some are, but definitely not all.

I need to get into a fight with HP instant ink which is claiming my very much empty ink cartridges are half full. This is way down the list of shit I have energy for.

Okay so apparently I am playing records to a roomful of people next weekend so I will be over here quietly bricking it.

Session zero for our limited series Hive of Scum and Villainy campaign done and the players have picked a HWK-290 freighter as their ship and, boy oh boy I could not be happier.

I wonder if the day ever comes when ADHD is believed by everyone. Life can be a real struggle for us and ADHD can have serious consequences. We REALLY do not need people saying our struggles aren't real. So educate yourselves, or indeed, do fuck off. #ADHD #Enough

Watching an AP of a traditional RPG and it's reminding me why so many modern games have mechanics which obviate 2–3 hours of planning which fails on first contact because the planning itself was rambling and poorly scoped.

I was gonna have a big ol’ game of Gaslands for my birthday at my games club tomorrow but have instead been struck down by a bastard cold and man feeling pretty cross about it.

Not sure what it says about me, the UK, or my age that the things I want to bring back from UK visits are pretty much just stuff from Boots and M&S

Important to note that the important metric here is returning players, not first time players. We have several of those. Hopefully we get more from the first-timers.

Our RPG club meetup attendance stats. We've been trying hard to keep the space from being the usual unwelcoming sausage-fest so I'm kinda proud of this.

Gender distribution for upcoming RPG club session: 57% women, 43% men

I've not really asked here before but things are getting pretty scary right now. Does anyone have any leads for a job in the broader Stockholm area or fully remote for a Scrum / Agile / release manager / product owner type role? If you need someone to wrangle both devs and clients I'm your guy.

One thing I love about Brennan's GMing that I also do is that if the PCs are doing something in character which has obvious consequences, he'll hit them up front with those consequences. Having an open discussion in front of the town guard about how you're gonna break in? They heard that shit.

Dear showrunners: if Reacher doesn’t need to know why Neaghley doesn’t like touch I don’t need to know why Neaghley doesn’t like touch. Cut it out with that shit. I don’t need my characters to be a 100% completion speedrun. Just let characters Be.

A fun, affordable hobby is: 1. Turning up in random well-to-do Cotswold villages wearing a hi-vis vest with a picture of a wind turbine on it, and a hard hat. 2. Taking measurements of the village green and any other open space, and enthusiastically writing notes on a clipboard.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, people don't like being made to have to care about other people. The media's role is to provide them a balm by giving them an excuse to not care instead and they do this by blaming the people they felt forced to care about.

Truly epic moment of Dad Pride today watching my youngest playing their first competitive basketball match. They’re still new to it and a little nervous so I was just encouraging them to play hard and trust themself. Lemme tell you, watching them drive the lane for the big layup made me tear up.

First thought was that medication doesn’t work for roughly one third of people with ADHD and there’s three different types. Second thought was that there’s a severe-combined with emotional dysregulation” group that exhibited the most widespread brain deviations. Oh hi.
