cam (they/them) 🔜 SomerCon

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

screenshot of Gonzo from season one of the Muppet show. he's pathetic and scrungly

we really lost something special when they yassified Gonzo

Hey friends!

If you are heading to PAX East and will be there on Thursday, Games on Demand is doing something new and will be possibly leading some small round table discussions. We are looking for people who have used TTRPGs in an educational format, in a classroom, with students etc. Let me know

submitting this report with just the text "c'mon"

"testosterone will make you ugly" WRONG it will turn me into columbo

broke the airbnb french press. gonna have to go on the lam, presumably. do you think i can be exempt from prison if I'm annoying enough?

I've seen some posts recommending getting video doorbells for early warning about ICE coming to your house. The flock partnership is exactly why this is a bad idea. Don't trust tech bros with your security. Your data is not safe.

sidewalk and curb cut covered in ice. the ice itself is covered in footprints.

a long stretch of sidewalk that is mostly covered in ice. a narrow (1 foot) section of the sidewalk is clear, where the sun is shining

gottem

we had a big storm last night and it looks like they plowed the sidewalk

i didn't think i would win this fight with one shot. how am i supposed to go on a power trip when they completely crumble the first time someone complains? how am i supposed to fill my time??

I reported them to the online "complain to the city" portal after the first snow of the year and SINCE THEN they've been PILING salt in the walkway

I've made it my goal for this winter to be as annoying as possible about the local football stadium never de-icing their sidewalk

I think @rajandelman.bsky.social was worried about our improv show on the 8th competing with the super bowl, and none of us even considered that we're competing with THIS powerhouse

Brian put it better than I could: SomerCon is gonna be a blast! There's so much to do and see, even without an RPG session ticket!

Let’s unpack this term Game “Master” with a little help from the wonderful @wranglerofchaos.bsky.social @aabria.bsky.social and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social 💙

Dodge this ram...

slowly beginning to think that AI psychosis is far more broad than we think, in that there are people who it doesn't drive *crazy* who see, say, a coding model create a UI for something and immediately extrapolate that it will be The Future of All Stuff

I'm obsessed, this game whips

I kinda regretted it BUT it was the first thing i thought of with him just sitting there by himself

We’re THRILLED to help sponsor this amazing program again as it comes to PAX East!! GET THOSE APPLICATIONS IN BY MONDAY, FOLX!!

😬😬😬

WHY do five people want to repost my shower curtain to their feed

In light of recent Ai related nonsense in the creative industry, I wanted to present some easy-to-digest facts about Generative Ai

repost if trans people should have dr pepper

This is a reminder that THREE songs were cut from Muppet Christmas Carol but I only hear people complaining about the one that contains no Muppets. Maybe you should do a little internal review of that.

I'm so grateful to everyone I've gotten to know this year and am so excited to see what we build in 2026 🥹

there's obviously way more to this story than raw numbers, but also! wild to come off of a hiatus in 2024 to THIS.

I've met so many cool people this year and made a ton of new friends! My town now has a regular TTRPG meetup! I get paid to run games! I WROTE a game, and people think it's fun!

sat what is likely my last table of the year last night, so it's stats time!

in 2025, I:
sat in 70 TTRPG sessions in 27 systems
facilitated 44 of those sessions across 11 systems

I wanted to "run 12 sessions" this year, so that feels like a success to me!

holy moly!! thanks to everyone who played my silly little game at Unplugged!
