(I’m not from Brazil but please read this before the elections as it’s still important) From OP: Please keep your eyes on Brazil, especially if you're from the US. I do not like to post this kind of stuff but we are scared. #brazil #important #awareness #awarenesspost #eleições2026 #elections

I've heard that MtG is fun even when you play with two decks containing only vanilla creatures + basic combat trick spells. The core attack-defend-bluff dynamic at its heart is solid.

Really like the idea of a rulebook saying "you CAN'T change these rules! They're mandatory, actually!"

Reading the article, um, I think this claim is an *extreme* stretch. My understanding as a neurobiologist is that yes distributed cognition is very likely true, but this sounds like a solution to a mystery about a class of cell bio techniques. Saying it has implications for cognition feels careless.

Maybe people have already realized this but it's a newly explicit idea to me.

A reason we like timeloop/roguelikes stories is their premise reflects that and provides an escape in which we find resolution & master the wheel. We finally win that shower argument; we choose the other person; we say and do the right things, and the world kneels.

Huh, time loop stories are roguelikes? I feel like there's something there where oftentimes we experience time nonlinearly in our minds. We go over the same memory repeatedly, thinking about it from different angles.

great thread about tenderfoot tactics. so much of it can also be applied to eidolon, a game that rewired my brain back in the day

New Lancer Tactics build is up (v1.4.2) wick.itch.io/lancer-tacti... Not many highlights for this one — it was a lot of under-the-hood refactors and bugfixes. But my release checklist says to post updates to bsky so here we are lol

Okay! Here’s the opening statement provided by the fired Rockstar workers. Key points: -There was allegedly a ‘mole’ in the union Discord server for over a year who funnelled info back to R* -It’s claimed R* only acted shortly after union members passed the 10% threshold for statutory recognition

The only reason titanfalling even sort of works in the TTRPG is because a human is there to arbitrate the situation. Lancer's mechanics RAW aren't sufficiently load-bearing to support that particular fantasy.
