Excellent comic and game, and the collection is really well-done.

I dunno... it's got kind of a Paranoia feel where the players are running expendable PCs through a world they don't quite understand, and GMing that is great fun. For this I'd back off on GM malevolence but that's not necessary anyhow.

Back in the 90s we used to automatically insert random 'subversive' words into our email and usenet .signatures to confuse snoopers. It may be time to bring that practice back.

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

And all that boils down to "don't be Hitler" and in that case why are you starting WWII in Europe at all?

For a printed copy I like Lulu even though sometimes I have to contact the writer for a PDF copy. I like their books a _bit_ better than other PODs, but they also do ringbound which I usually prefer for RPG books. If I'm printing a b/w PDF I'll go with printme1; I don't have a go-to for color yet.

Itch gives the writer marginally more money, but DTRPG has the better customer experience, especially if I'm making multiple small purchases without a shopping cart. And the list of purchases with update dates is useful. Of course if the direct purchase option isn't a huge pain I'll do that first.

I was told once that a car with a back seat was cheaper to insure. A little googling shows that as "meh, probably not?" but it's at least vaguely plausible.

The order is more concretely "opinion, size, age, shape, colour, origin, material, purpose" so the ur-example is "lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife"

'Fake' feels to me like it binds more closely to modifying another adjective than the final noun. So here the wallet is fake-yellow, but made of leather. A 'yellow fake leather wallet' would be made of something other than leather, and a 'yellow leather fake wallet' would be some kind of decoy.

Playing 'Uno' is too woke for them so they've made 'One' for themselves.

They have like a 1970s level of computer technology in general, but also intelligent robots as a consumer-grade technology. It doesn't make sense but I usually don't let that bother me.

The "D100 Dungeon" series may fit that for you. It's got the roguelike feel of generating and exploring a dungeon, finding new gear, and leveling up skills.

This nonsense handwaves away so many profound technical and engineering challenges I'm surprised it doesn't just flutter away over the horizon under its own power.

I remember reading about archaeologists finding a Babylonian king's museum of the ancient artifacts _his_ archaeologists dug up. Fascinating stuff.

Yeah I found myself on one of those 'follows right-wing accounts' lists, and I guess I did follow someone this person found unacceptable. People can block who they like of course, and share that they did it, but I don't agree with attaching quite so much moral weight to individual follows.

Those look great. I've considered some thick plastic standees that can be written on with whiteboard markers, but you can't put good art on them. They'd be fine for "ORC #5" but yours look better :)

I don't think I've had any obvious fake follower requests, but more than a few are pretty clearly farming for followbacks rather than actually interested in my (dubious) wisdom. But I tend not to investigate further once I've decided not to follow back.

I'm not sure how to verify journalists but I've seen ideas towards that idea elsewhere in this thread.
010
Scott Kullberg @skullberg.bsky.social · 22/11/2024
My off the cuff thought is to have a filtered feed for news where only verified journalists can post but any user can reply. That would keep the noise down a little. I suppose it could fund journalists through revenue sharing but that's dependent on Bluesky itself establishing a revenue stream.

I think they're used to looking at courts as neutral instead of asking who appointed the court, who influenced it, whose legal philosophy they're following, and who put *this* case before *this* court at *this* time.

I keep this around to amuse myself from time to time.
This is a screenshot from Twitter. User 'davez64' says "Another successful musician instantly becomes a political export. Tom Morello replies "One does not have to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University to recognize the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard University so I can confirm this for you."

This is an important point- if they tried this stunt it would make very clear both their contempt for the values military officers are supposed to hold, and their total lack of reciprocal loyalty to the military that gives the President its loyalty.
