Much as I like MH Wilds, I still can't get over the fact that I intensely dislike how people look in this game. Not a design issue, purely a graphics issue. MH World did some bonkers black magic that made its characters look so, so much nicer even eight years later. Maybe Ascendance'll fix it?

Joke's on you, no D&D books to hide. Instead I have a whole shelf dedicated to Exalted. As Ketchup Kojak intended.

A shelf stocked full of Exalted TTRPG books, mixing 2e, 3e and Essence editions.

Finished Zero Company. It's a little bit heavier on tactical RPG than on being an XCOM-like than I expected, but it's a *really good* tactical RPG, and very good Star Wars.

Never has a game crashed on me as hard as Zero Company crashes. I'm talking full black screen, nothing I can do except hard restart. Sometimes can't get five minutes in before it blacks out again. I don't have the mightiest card, but 3060Ti is well within the min-rec range, this is silly.

It's so fucked up. Zero Company is an incredible game, with excellent writing, art, graphics, gameplay, and location design. It's absurd that people who worked their asses off to accomplish all that are being screwed over.

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

The 2 most likely reasons for my untimely death are 1: Trying to pet a wild but adorable animal (probably a large cat), or 2: Answering an ad like this. Despite my foreknowledge that these will certainly kill me, I am powerless to stop my inevitable but easily avoidable fate.

Panel from an old comic of a man reading a personal ad and saying to himself, "Say... THIS looks interesting!"
Personal Ad reads: "Girl endowed with beauty and occult powers, schooled in Egyptian Necromancy, wishes to contact writer interested in learning black magic! Dare to write me! All replies confidential."

I don't disagree telling stories is amongst the functions of tabletop RPGs (though it's not the sole – or even *principal* – function of many), but I think a lot of analyses of story-in-RPGs trip over the GNS model's error of treating the activities of play as identical with the goals of play.

The image is of a four panel comic.
Panel one shows a giraffe tripping on a rock. The giraffe says “woop” as it stumbles.
Panel two zooms in on the giraffe’s face. The giraffe is sweating in embarrassment. We see a thought bubble above the giraffe. The text within the thought bubble reads, “that was embarrassing.”
The third panel shows the giraffe closing its eyes and munching on leaves reassuringly. The thought bubble above the giraffe reads, “but no one will remember.”
The fourth and final panel pans to an elephant staring at the giraffe from behind some bushes.

Someone on one of the Traveller boards pointed this out and now I can't unsee it.

Image of Techno Viking famously pointing with his "Don't you even try it" expression to someone off camera, next to the Traveller book Sword Worlds. The illustrated space Viking points is pistol in the same way and has a VERY similar look to him.

Fantasy heartbreakers are non-chicken-based nuggie alternatives and therefore doomed when compared to chicken nuggies themselves. I’m going to keep running with this analogy.

Unfortunately only I and 8 other people played more than 2 sessions of 4E because a D&D game being mechanically sound is anathema to the spirit of D&D as defined by its player base.

Perfect illustration of the AI deskilling project trap. If you want to pretend these things are a tool (they're not) then you're completely beholden to having your tools changed or taken away by a black box system that changes on a whim. You're now completely reliant on the thing they took away.
