They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech”
After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls”
And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.
Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

For anyone picking up Deus Ex for the glory of its original aesthetic, Kentie's launcher has done me solid for many years for high resolution+fps+fov settings.
Too many ppl start with the Revision mod, which is like listening to a remix without hearing the original song.

Useful reminder from Peter Kellner on the problems we refuse to acknowledge are getting better, and the politics of hopelessness that this breeds

I am in it talking CAVES OF QUD. I will take it as a personal favour if you pick this up. But don't do it for me, do it for the health of #TTRPG generally, because this is the magazine we all deserve.

Reminder that 100,000 people marched for Trans Pride in London earlier this year, but because they weren't violent fascists, there was minimal press coverage, unlike the Nazis today.

Over a million people protest against genocide? "Terrorist organisation, threat to freedom".
A few tens of thousands show up for a far-right extremist rally? "Free speech is alive and well".
The UK media, government, and the US oligarchy make clear what messaging it wants the UK to swallow.
How do you capture the feeling of Silksong in a TTRPG?
I'm glad you asked. I wrote this article just for such an occasion.
good morning, i wrote a manifesto about a new direction for game design / play

Finding the style, but these feel strong tonally!

A view through a wide angle camera lens, it is focused on a round wooden table with an ouija board resting on it. Blood pools on the floor and across a rug in the background. It’s all totally normal and fine.
Probably nothing to see here #screenshotsaturday

You always manage to get so much personality into your robots. Brilliant stuff!

A 12 panel comic of lost socks: Left in a washer, under a bed, in the gym, at the back of a drawer, taken by a dog, tucked into a sofa, fallen from a washing line, left in the rain, taken from a store packet, in a pigeon's nest, hung on a ceiling fan and title reads 'Lost Sock' in the final panel.

I do love making comics.

All this week, I'll be posting lesson plans and materials from my History of RPGs class, where I ran micro versions of historically significant TTRPGs like AD&D and Apocalypse World! Every day I'll post a new game I ran in my class. Stay tuned!

I was just laid off. My role at Giant Squid is being eliminated.
If your studio is looking for an environment artist, please let me know ASAP. I have 5+ years of experience.
thank you
I play *jazz music* and I’m able to gather more people than some of these, on a weeknight. It’s honestly a joke. The uk press are reporting a wag-the-dog style Fake War. Truly remarkable.

A posterized image of a suited woman pointing a camera directly at the viewer. Around her, figures pass by each way - paying her no attention.
It is with great regret I must inform you that I have started developing a video-game again.

Couldn't take it any longer and had to write many many words about my thoughts brought on by @hollynielsen.bsky.social 's excellent Amberspire devlog.
I think it's at least mostly cohesive.

I swear to god I’m losing my mind.
The government can fuck off with the individualistic framing of this while they also open the doors for, and actively encourage, AI data centres.
since we don't have kickstarter to kind of provide some kind of exciting goal/target/sense of urgency I'm thinking maybe we do something really depressing like this instead
