Dieselpunk 1921 got delisted until I made a public stink about it on CBC because it contains a single public domain artwork of a semi-nude person.

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

Drivers in Peterborough, Ontario are out of control, yet everyone seems keen on blaming pedestrians for drivers blowing through red lights and stop signs.

This news is important because all the fucks out there actively attempting to wreck the world want you to think that the work is hopeless and just mitigating the worst case scenario. It's not. Fucking keep going.

Simple good vs evil stories are as important as deeply complex stories, but that doesn't mean good vs evil stories are above criticism for the frequency with which they reinforce colonial narratives.

Been having thoughts about the second edition of Dieselpunk 1921, namely that it'll be set in 1931 instead. I'll also be narrowing the initial focus to three areas: Germany, the USA, and France. Fingers crossed that I'll be able to include maps for those places, north america, and Europe

Refinished and polished a pair of combat boots and they look much nicer. The scuffs and cracks are still visible, but it's much better than when I received them and they're back to being waterproof

I'm not terribly fond of the online left's habit of arguing at one another by proxy instead of trying to have a nuanced discussion. Yes, being healthy is important, no that doesn't mean you need to be a body builder.

Seeing stuff from the Nomad Games has solidified to me that Roma should have representation at it, but that seems logistically challenging. Maybe the IRU or ERIAC has the capacity to organize something like that

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

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 fact that it’s not uncommon for game companies to require you to relocate across the country just to lay you off is crazy. “Sorry we made you and your family move to an incredibly expensive city a few months ago to do a job you could have done remotely - also you’re now out of a job. :)”
