It’s Lars

Josie absolutely brought it, as she always does. Chances are you’ll read a lot of obits and thought pieces on Hogan but you won’t read a better one than this.

Who’s doing weird fantasies now

I really enjoyed this episode and your review. Thank you!

ICE killed a farm worker in Camarillo yesterday

The other thing that is either a huge tip of the hand or spectacular incompetence, is that the next obvious line is, "it's time to try white."

I somehow played all these games but by the end I was glued to a walkthrough

Amazing

Is there a vintage game that exemplifies this sort of stuff? Is GK3 the king of moon logic?

This is literally British Tabloid journalism. This is the kind of stuff we excel at over here. Finding any little detail that you can twist and insinuate in such a way as to stay within the line of "technically not lying" while furiously signalling to your readers "your prejudices are justified."

First tweet in thread: "As the @nytimes assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, I’ve received reader feedback regarding our reporting on Zohran Mamdani’s 2009 application to Columbia University. To provide context on how the reporting came together, I wanted to share some information:" click through for full thread --> https://x.com/patrickhealynyt/status/1941262786006483418

NYT: "We will continue to fabricate scandals about socialists, sourced from anonymous Nazis, until fascism is the law of the land."

lol the New York Times sucks ass

Microsoft never should have been allowed to acquire Bethesda and Activision-Blizzard-King, it should have been blocked for the clear monopoly making move it was, and anyone with pattern recognition could've seen this coming, because voraciously acquisition always comes with mass layoffs.

Wow a classic post

Nah. They’re leeches

more and more elements of the games industry are going to align themselves with gambling in the coming years, in a normalization of market failure. it is crucial to build a new paradigm for games and it must be ideologically opposed to this one. restructuring around gambling is anti-culture.

Give em hell

Senator Gillibrand called on Al Franken to resign.
I think she should resign for falsely smearing Zohran Mamdani as a terrorist.

He has never invoked a ‘global jihad’. This is a nasty, Islamophobic racist smear from a sitting Dem senator.

She built herself up as a progressive when she wanted to be president and had a great record opposing Trump nominees first term.

Now she's a crypto-funded corporate Democrat who defends sexual predators. A total embarrassment.

It’s unreal how soft these people are

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

I’ve said this before but I really do not think you can separate a politician’s history of sexual misconduct from their political life. Sexual harassment and abuse is definitionally an abuse of power. Thus, people like that should not be given power.

NYT headline: How the Transgender Rights Movement Bet on the Supreme Court and Lost Here's the inside story of the case that could set the movement back a generation.

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

That’s really interesting! The first connection I made to structuring the game around the session was to something like Blades in the Dark, and I think I would definitely be interested in a game that played crunchier and more tactically but had the capacity for more intuitive and reactive campaigns.

Shout out to Wicked for asking what it would be like if good things were bad and bad things were good

And the structure stuff feels relevant to me as an actual play producer. It's all cool to me. Looking forward to what you've got coming up!

That's awesome. I'm really intrigued by the formal recommendations you're making about session structure. Seems like you're trying to empower people to craft adventures themselves. Different from typical PF2 / Paizo play culture.

@animistgunslinger.bsky.social I am enjoying reading through the material you've made publicly available for Infinite Re:Imagine. Good luck with the project! I am hooked!

Don’t threaten me with a good time

I keep flirting with the idea of playing it. I just picked it up like 2 days ago and feel menaced by it on my list of games.
