Heads up fellow gongfarmers, I recently participated in Red Mage's Mystic Woods adventure jam. My entry, "The Starshaped Woods," is free on itch, so why not grab a copy? It's a 12-page adventure for levels 2 or 3. revivifygames.itch.io/the-starshap...

Sorry, I was agreeing with you. I think the problem of too much stuff for any human to wade through is basically the internet today, for everything... Borgs entire popularity is precisely because it is so successful at convincing people they can create for them. It's the Borg's true strength imo.

Revivify Games (Anthony Zinni) @revivifygames.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
It's sort of funny how people conflate "not for me" with "bad". I read the article, and while there is some truth to the idea that the whole Borg sphere could use some more active curation, isn't that true of all third-party publications for any system? It's hardly an issue of Borgs alone.

It's all just another reason to hate AI, in my opinion. Somehow, I wind up with more work to do, while others using that crap to cut corners go on with their lives, pissing on everything.

Revivify Games (Anthony Zinni) @revivifygames.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
If I use Google Docs contextual editing, does that mean I used AI... If I use generative fill in Photoshop (something that has existed pre-LLMs), if I was collecting reference images and Pinterest shows me a bunch of slop, does that count? know I made the thing... why do I have to have receipts?

Revivify Games (Anthony Zinni) @revivifygames.bsky.social · 22/04/2026
I've dealt with this on other platforms, and it's wildly annoying. Why should the burden be on me? Especially since AI bullshit is getting crammed into literally everything, with or without your knowledge. There are literally infinite places to second-guess yourself, even if you don't "use" AI.
