Especially when you can make jokes about how he is clearly rotting. Ex: I feel we are getting a reverse The Picture of Dorian Gray situation where he keeps making young looking AI slop pictures of himself and that is causing the rot in his soul to shine through on his real body.

I try to use those feelings, explore them through art/creation. Try to find some temporary catharsis in the outcome. It doesn’t always work and sometimes makes me sadder than when I started.

It is nice to know my D&D group put more thought into the repercussions of regime change than the current administration

The original Frankenstein, everything that goes wrong is at least initially Dr. Frankenstein's fault. I don't know if that is what you are looking for.

You might love the game I made a few years ago. The hook was that everyone has a secret objective relating to another player, if you accomplish your goal you increase a stat, if anyone guesses your objective they steal a stat point from you.

Something I've been thinking a lot about in TTRPG design and theory lately is what I'll call "New Hammer Syndrome". A system becomes popular, and an under-pinning concept becomes the new "hammer" that turns all of TTRPGs into a certain kind of nail.

A scene from the game Fallout 3. A skeleton is sitting on the ground with an oscillating fan resting on his crotch blades down. 

For those who read these, I was having trouble spelling oscillating and autocorrect correct kept spelling ovulating to humorous effect.

So I am thinking about putting together an environmental storytelling dungeon jam. Let people stretch their subtle writing muscles. #ttrpg

Ok so, the official white house youtube channel has a live stream set up for the state of the union. The video they are showing before hand is a weird 3 second loop of a fake AI generated claymation trump. The comments have been disabled.

In one of those conversations a few years ago someone asked something to the effect of β€œwhy should I care about getting better at this?” That question still haunts me.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

An important reminder. If you are in the general area of a cyber truck and make it look like you are filming a video about how cool a and indestructible your cyber truck is, you can do anything to a cyber truck and people will not pay attention to you no matter what you do to said cyber truck.

Hey so, I really like play testing games.

If you have a game you need playtested, I will do it and also I will give you honest feedback in the nicest way possible.

If you are also someone that likes play testing games and giving feedback, maybe we could like playtest some games together maybe?
