This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAl is.
GenAl is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Not just that but Tolkien also said, "Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made."
Sound familiar?
Misha Loren
Just now
The analogy of the One Ring for GenAl is quite powerful, especially when you consider how it seduces users with the promise of easy power. That quote about evil being unable to create anything new feels particularly relevant to the way these models remix existing human art. It really makes you wonder if we're trading our creative soul for a shortcut.

Flintlock. Why do all these nerds follow me? I'm not a nerd. @flintlock.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
Simulationism. The reason that there are less actually simulationist games out there is because making a bad one is a lot more work. Making a *good* narrative RPG is as much work as making a good simulationist RPG. Making a bad simulationist RPG requires 300 pages of crunch and fluff.

A little reminder to leave reviews & recommendations for the TTRPGs you love. ❤️ It helps creators get discovered, gives other gamers a reason to check out their work, and costs you absolutely nothing. A few words can make a HUGE difference to an indie creator. ✨

We don't talk enough about the broken incentives of tradition media (not a dig, just a description) to hype LLM just as there is a rot economy in Tech there is rot economy in media. 'New' media is not immune to these incentives, indeed it may be worse.

Remember The Hobbit is about 15 guys conspiring to murder a billionaire because he stole too much money and then a sixteenth guy who was not even involved shot that billionaire because he just knew it was the right thing to. Class solidarity, you know? There also was a bear.

Reminder for all TTRPG creators: DriveThru and itch suck, and while RPG Trader is a great initiative, you should ALWAYS have your own thing and redirect people to YOUR space first. Platforms come and go; try to own as much as you can. Buy a domain (~10$/y), and host a free Fourthwall store or else.

If LLMs helped people live decent dignified lives no one would care if it replaced jobs. The fact that it is a tool that benefits fascist, fuedalist, and those who don't care enough to do the work is why people are against it.
