In the Light of a Setting Sun is a rules-lite game of bigger-than-life cowpokes on an unforgiving frontier. It it, you can play as cowherds on a long cattle drive, gunslingers solving problems in dusty border towns, or no-good outlaws on the run from a bloodthirsty sheriff. (1/?)

I think the most egregious part is that he thinks listening to george guidall or whichever hoary yakubian beast penguin hired to read the translation while he plays diablo with cheetodusty fingers is 1:1 equivalent with hearing a rhapsode sing-chant the poem from memory, that a sped up audiobook boneconducted into his skull will recreate the exact condition of Classical Antiquity and achieve whatever he thinks is
"authentic." To the extent that he has any historical sense (he probably doesn't) it is without a doubt autopopulated by sub-Ridley-Scott tier period slop, D-graded wikipedia summaries, pop history podcasts, Grok, of course. I do think that it is a near biblical punishment to inflict on the richest man in human history with a near boundless capacity to build whatever he wants a near total lack of imagination, the inability to navigate his ignorance of any field, literally any field outside of insectile mechanical reproduction. You will see him bleat about the "West," about
"Beauty." I would like to see him, or any other of these robber-baron-hopefuls to just try and build one nice-looking building, a library, a train station, maybe just one fucking cabinet and have it not look like the ugliest piece of shit on the planet. He really is the Final Boor, zero taste, trapped in the most brutal contradiction of dull-garish backwards-forwards looking (And may Allah forgive me for uttering this word)
"cyberpunk" futurism. He's too far gone for me to pity him in any real way.
I hope he gets to live in the world he wants, his grand fantasy, which, like his cars, is probably just a big refrigerator with an iPad in it Traducir post

I can go on and on about Jessie Bullington's THE SAD TALE OF THE BROTHERS GROSSBART, how it changed my view of books and what they can be in high school. But just know that it is a very, very good book.

It's kind of saddening knowing that Over/Under is gonna end soon because once it's over all the RPers are gonna be put down.

I personally really like this album! I think the tone of the songs fit the theme of weariness and life as a warrior of old. But yeah, if you're looking for something harder/more epic, this definitely wasn't the best choice lmao

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.
