That's a bit nasty. I can't imagine feeling the need to exclude a child from something like that.

What are the odds the post is well received? Or that the post is revealed to have been AI generated or plagiarized from an indie artists' work or something? Feel like I never hear about wizards in a positive context these days lmao

The WA coffee culture is crazy. I remember how many lil drive thru coffee huts populated the various parking lot corners of my hometown. I could walk to one from my childhood home! Whiplash for us when we moved to a place with almost no coffee culture. Nearest coffee spot is a ten minute drive now!

In all seriousness, Savage Worlds would be my go-to. Character creation can be disguised as answering a mercenary wanted ad. Throw in a chase scene to show off those mechanics, including some combat when you get to wherever you're going. Best system hands down.

Depending on how small a printer I have access to, I could make the product small enough to print on a grain of rice :)

Wanting a "Make me a romance story between me and that female celebrity" button doesn't make that guy sound as innovative as he thinks... Far from it actually... Getting people-cover-their-drinks-around-me-at-parties vibes with this whole thing

Here's an excellent thread on what it means to be an active part of a creative community online. It takes work, and it can be scary sometimes when you're an introvert struggling with imposter syndrome. But you have to try. And before any fellow introverts get anxious, my own 🧵(1/9):

It feels like it definitely causes some form of amnesia. My supervisor at my internship (a PhD of 10+ years) will assign me to debug code that chatgpt failed to get right on the first try. I'm literally a year into learning coding, but I'm catching basic errors that my supe should easily see.

How do none of these startups see the Amazon Effect headed for their walled garden? Claude Code reports to a different master. Eventually, they're going to realize they can make so much more money by watching which startups are succeeding and just outpacing them. They already have your code.

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

Haha no you're fine! I agree about 6. I especially liked Gathering Storm, though I know not everyone appreciated the climate change mechanics. They were a little wonky to be sure but still nice to see the natural world brought into the game more.

Playing 7 is like living in a Malaria fever dream after spending a day listening to a friend drunkenly translate the description of a Civilization game from an ancient language. On every turn and on every menu and screen, I just feel like there's something I'm missing. Uncanny valley of 4X games.

I'd really like more time to get back into painting minis... Unfortunate that all of reality seems to be coming to a head this spring. Going back to school and working is hard enough without just every single moral crisis possible coming out of the Capitol.

No, its just my past interactions with Land Back movements in the Midwest have specified displacing people based on race. That certain people have "genocidal DNA". I doubt all movements across NA are like that, tho, and speaking to others is part of research. It was your choice not to clarify that.

Out of curiosity, what happens to all the people born here since colonization? Race-based deportation to their ancestors' country? "Return the land" is a nice sentiment but punishing children for the sins of the father only sets up for generations of conflict. Surely there's an equitable solution.
