Sigh. Tapping the sign again.

My feed is an unsafe space for terfs and bigots.

You'll be blocked, reported multiple times and submitted to block lists.

Just don't bother. Go touch grass.

My success rate with private messaging is near zero; and has many times resulted in quietly lost friendships and angry, vengeful sabotage.

And in many cases it was from the same folk I’ve seen scolding others for public call-outs

Every time a friend comes out as LGBT++, I’ll admit it chokes me up a bit.

It’s a combo of sharing the sheer joy of self-actualization, and someone reclaiming their power in defiance of an admittedly cruel world.

It’s inspiring and uplifting!

Y’all have my unlimited and unconditional support ❀️

If you’re at Gencon come get demoes of Life in Reterra with or without the new Moonrise expansion!

It’s at the Avalon Hill booth in the e event hall (big logo overhead for easy locating)

Also featured: ticketed demoes for Elizabeth Hargrave’s upcoming game Sanibel!

I catch myself complaining about being old a bit too often.

It’s funny to a point but like

I actually really enjoy getting older for the most part.

Hey

Miss me with the whataboutisms

β€œWhy don’t you also boycott X?” can be a valid discussion in the abstract

Timing matters.

But if your only contribution to a particular protest is whataboutism, expect reasonable suspicion of bad faith

It’s worth noting that it’s unlikely CGE has personally blocked trans authors, rather than themselves being added to massive block lists many of us are subscribed to.

Mea culpa for the β€œblocking” accusation. That’s irresponsible pile on.

The rest stands, though.

I guess CGE can block me too

Making a Harry Potter game in 2025 without acknowledging the harm of transphobia at a bare minimum is a political statement

Intent doesn’t matter

You may not like my political or social opinions

But I promise I’ll never hide them or lie about them

We're doing final dev rounds for the Blood Rage Valhalla core box to get it ready for the KS some time this summer.

I love this game and just want this to be done so I can play for fun.

I was a musician before I was a game designer.

Black Sabbath is my favourite band of all time in any genre

Their self titled debut, Master of Reality and Sabotage blew my young mind and changed my life

Ozzy’s haunting vocals and his demonic charisma made him an icon

RIP Prince of Darkness

Bluesky was never worse than X in my experience.

But my threshold of tolerance for oligarch apologia is much lower than even a few years ago

FYI - looks like my posts criticising Elon musk are being reported and one was taken down and I was given a 24-hour suspension

If this continues, my time on this platform is limited
