A spaceship is itself like a wheelchair. It's an assistive device that compensates for not being able to fly around in the vacuum of space unaided. "Surely with advanced future biomedicine it'd be easier to 'correct' a chronic dependency on breathable atmosphere," and yet! It'd be less relatable.

Shout out to one of the very first visuals of AC6 to be released being a glimpse of the player character as a motionless cadaverous medical body horror experience beneath a dirty plastic tarp.

Alt text also has a big curb cut effect. Not that it's the main reason to do it, but I can't count how many times I've checked the alt text on a still from media I don't recognise or a meme I don't understand or fanart of a character I don't know and discovered something new.

Check the first out of principle. Check the second if you need it. Do everyone a favor and give your images alt text.

Viera have an interesting relationship with gender. Tales Under the New Moon ("The First of Many Festivals") has Wuk Lamat reminiscing with Erenville about the day they first met, and says that at the time, she thought him a girl. And Erenville says "technically speaking, you weren't wrong".

My love language is performing desperate eldritch rituals that the Council has forbidden.

it turns out that regular people want good things and not bad things, take notes

So it WAS an alien spaceship after all...

The world is so filled with beauty and wonder and I feel very strongly both that it should be a kinder place to live in and that it is within our power to make it as such

I would rather stand in the ranks of an army of fuckups than desperately try to keep my place in a dwindling clique of angels.

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands. The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention. Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane. Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury. Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

Have you listened to the soundtrack to Beyond the Black Rainbow by Sinoia Caves? The tracks that aren't basically just an ominous drone might be relevant.

My opponent, incapable of imagining a world beyond the game itself, after I simply eat their cards "Such creative genius. It's literally impossible under the rules, yet you seem to have done it nevertheless. I'd never have thought of it, let alone figured out how. There's no way to counter this."

TIME FOR THE VERY RARE ACTIVITY: JOYSCROLLING

the people in LA putting their safety on the line right now to try and stop ICE are the bravest people we have got

My energy! (Good luck!)

My wondrous friend @freydaelyn.bsky.social has released her first game! Go and behold a party game for 2-6 players about confidently making a persuasive case for dubious nonsense, with art by the glorious @staticsable.bsky.social. May this be the first of many.

Consider this an open invitation to gush to me about the story and worldbuilding of Disco Elysium, redeemable whenever!

i'm so excited to announce that Possum Creek and all our full-time employees have become an imprint at Steve Jackson Games!

I don’t know what works, exactly, but I know what doesn’t work. What doesn’t work is the endless and obsessive search for the “one right way” to fix the world. There is no single vanguard who can save us, just like there is no politician or revolutionary leader who will lead us all into a bright, shining future. There’s also no single ideology–not even my beloved anarchism–that’s going to do it. The Zapatistas have a saying that lives in my head, that they’re fighting for a world in which many worlds are possible. If we are fighting for a pluralistic, multicultural world, then we must fight for it in pluralistic, multicultural ways.

1. our solidarity will be based on respect for a diversity of tactics and the plans of other groups. 2. the actions and tactics used will be organized to maintain a separation of time or space. 3. any debates or criticisms will stay internal to the movement, avoiding any public or media denunciations of fellow activists and events. 4. we oppose any state repression of dissent, including surveillance, infiltration, disruption and violence. we agree not to assist law enforcement actions against activists and others.

Everyone please stop arguing for a minute and listen to @margaret.bsky.social! #Solidarity is the only way out. None of us are perfect and all of us are needed.
