I hired my kiddo to do some game/zine marketing for me. He insists this is a marketing meme format that works.
A pie chart with a large blue segment and a smaller yellow segment that asks "Should I get into journaling games from The Ink That Bleeds or The Balsam Lake Unmurders?". The legend shows that the larger blue area is "Yes" and the smaller yellow area is "Yes, but In Yellow".

Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year. The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers.

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)
The video thumbnail for PMG's original documentary, showing a white, American hand clasping cash in exchange for the labour of a Southeast Asian workforce, represented here as being weighed down by their immense workload.

A while ago, because of plot, I got an NPC Red Cap as a follower. Now we've statted him up as a slayer at half the party's level and he's been a great addition. I've made him max his ranks in diplo because it turns out Red Caps speak Aklo.

Jesus, Bluesky is great and has powerful moderation tools, but I suspect most people are going to be too lazy or uninformed to use them effectively themselves and rely on those lists.

Richard John Davis @rjdavis.bsky.social · 26/11/2024
I can easily see someone making a good blocklist against a certain demographic (Nazis, maga, troll accounts etc), before poisoning the list and just adding people they don't like to it.

Richard John Davis @rjdavis.bsky.social · 26/11/2024
I agree, but I do appreciate that the feature is there even if I don't choose to use it. I do think blocklists have the potential to be abused as any accounts that get added after you subscribe to a list automatically gets blocked.

I like them but I appreciate the fatigue. I think they're great for discovering new accounts, I never really used twitter so I don't really know who's who in the TTRPG space, but the lists have been great at discovering creators both big and small.

BILLIARDS. You need to strike a deal. Tonight. So you came to the best place to do so, the pool table.You have until the end of one standard match of pool to settle on a deal. One of you might come out ahead of the other, or you might both be happy. It all depends on how you play the game.
