With Microscope 2E, now feels like a good time for this reminder: If you aren't running your game in D&D 3rd edition then you're not running a real West Marches game, you're running a Sparkling Sandbox.

There's basically no strategic reason to tefuse to do this either. Your entire base, from gormless blue no matter who rusted ons to leftists holding their nose, want to see the guy hung from the gibbet. Do you have a secret poll showing 100% of swing voters don't want impeachment?

I know I've said it before, but little could do more to hurt your supposed reputation as the party of norms and laws than a blanket refusal to punish da crimes president.

One of Omega's greatest crimes is that we don't see the full match he lost against Saw Paing, just two dudes hollering at each other.

Every Seki match is a banger, even his one Omega one is pretty good.

A couple years ago I found myself in a book store and for the first time in a good while splurged, buying 7 books that seemed like they all might kick ass. One was like a 6/10 and the rest were just bad.

I am willing to believe such a thing as "good" litRPG exists, but as a genre it seems to actively promote all the things that tend to make for bad fiction.

@eyepatchwolf.bsky.social Introduced the wonderful concept of "The Silent Abyss", referring to the vast quantities of dreck that is released but makes very little impact. Very useful here.

Ok, I'm not going to pretend to be an expert here and I fully acknowledge I'm being a party proper, but I'm like 70% confident that if your partner is fucking someone else at your specific demand then that's not cuckolding but some other, related thing.

Bluesky devs touting the usefulness of LLMs for programming really a bigger condemnation of the whole enterprise than I could ever come up with. "These new textiles shall be a boon for fashion!", proclaimed the Emperor, fully nude.

The below is burned into my brain and it's about as appealing a pitch as if video games involved getting shot with an actual gun.

"The year is 2030. It's a rainy Saturday afternoon. You've just finished mining 30 obsidian ore playing Crypto Crush Saga, a match-3 mobile game.
You open up The Elder Chains Online and feel a rush of excitement. Your school buddy has spent years becoming a Master Blacksmith, and he has agreed to turn 10 obsidian into an Obsidian Battlestaff, a HUGE upgrade over the Mithril Mace you’ve been wielding for the last months.
It’ll take him an hour or so. In the meantime, you log into Clash of Guilds, and use the remaining obsidian to upgrade your town hall to the next level.
That should keep your village safe for now.
You wish you could fast forward time to tonight. Your Guild has plans to go for a deep run into the wilderness in Old School Rune Chains, and your prospects of a successful run (and great loot) have never been better.
All guild members have been spending the past 2 weeks grinding for better weapons, and you’ve agreed (through a vote) to use the Guild treasury to buy everyone a new full set of Red Dragonhide Armor.
Tonight’s objective is to kill the level 128 Frost Giant hiding in the Cave of Sorrow. He has a 5% chance of dropping an Immaculate Orb of Brilliance, of which there are currently only 4 in existence.
The Orb can be used as a power source in an upcoming space exploration game, and should give your guild a great advantage in reaching distant galaxies first. A 5% drop rate is low, but you’re feeling optimistic.
In the distance, you hear a faint 'BloCkChAIn doEsNT bRiNg AnYtHiNg nEW tO gAmES'. You shrug, and join your friends in the Discord voice channel.

Life is good."

Functionally a core part of every broad political left tendency is the idea that each and every citizen should be engaged politically and I can think of worse ways of encouraging that than by using party machinery to have some fun with it from time to time.

I mean, church shouldn't be doing those things either, surely? Like, why would you want more from them than fulfilling your transcendental spiritual needs? Word of the lord and affirmation of Christ's eternal kingdom not doing enough for you? Stupid take.

Always quotes max concurrent users. Anyone who uses this metric as if it means anything needs to be treated like a rabid animal and disposed of humanely.

Mainstream liberals are bloodless quants and thus want to treat factoids like "Republicans win popular vote for the first time in 16 years" as something significant they can base a whole, moronic analysis around.

A good and true story, but leaves out a crucial detail. They didn't take this action as a spur of the moment thing, these women did it as part of a directive from their union to not handle South African goods. They weren't just grapefruit ladies, they were *union* grapefruit ladies.
