But how will you appease the other billionaires in your rich people's cult then? Not join one in the first place?! Unthinkable!

Important source to read.

I'm all for automation replacing work - eventually. In a world in which we replaced capitalism with something more social so everyone can live and enjoy the benefits of the automation.

But not now, only for the benefit of a few super rich with no compensation for workers.

It’s easy to criticize the injustices and violence in our system, but it’s hard to recognize that we are all molded by the systems we live in. In a society that’s extremely punitive, one of the most radical things we can do is make space for people (and ourselves) to grow and be better.

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you”

Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Reminds me of my childhood and my German mum being super into homeopathy. I had the flu and she gave me those Globuli and her little book said I should be better in a week.

Yeah no shit. A week is the usual time it takes if left alone.

I am going to be a massive humorless asshole about woo-woo shit, no matter how seemingly harmless, for the rest of my life due to this. astrology, homeopathic medicine, etc etc it's all bullshit and it's not fucking harmless. there are people who will die due to this who would have otherwise lived.

Yeah. I think I only remember two important humans from the book and both are male. Actually not sure if any human women are mentioned at all...

But it's also been a decade since I last read it.

To be fair, the main characters in the Silmarillion who are NOT half-gods or immortal elves are only a handful anyway 😁

And that's in a book with seemingly a new character introduction every other page.

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

Understandable! But sounds great 😃 hope you'll have a lot of fun and learn a lot.

Will you take them in person?

There is a module called Freestyle Character Sheet that helps somewhat with this.

Also a number of generic "system builders", which have character sheet generators.

A Lot of Zeroes by half-a.press A solo or coop game of mapping interstellar journeys.

I've release a new solo/coop TTRPG about mapping a journey through the Milky Way with your immortal and unusual crew. It's inspired by the High Frontier Interstellar board game I helped develop but goes much, much further: to the galactic core and beyond! half-apress.itch.io/a-lot-of-zer...

Reposting because this game may not be for you, but you probably know or are followed by the hard sci fi enthusiast that one of the games in this thread is exactly for

Don't forget the classic kebab-case.

Not 100% sure I get what you mean in this context. But if you mean you love to read different types of RPGs (even those you wouldn't play) and try out bits and pieces then we are in full agreement 😁

I get what you mean, but I'm not sure I agree fully :D I grew to like RPGs by playing gurps back in the day. Less crunchy systems always felt arbitrary to me.

But then again, I also can't get into gm-less or solo games at all. Just doesn't click with me, but thankfully there's games for all of us.

Everything else should be up to player and gm discretion.

I mean I agree somewhat, but I also like rolling dice. It's just fun to leave some stuff up to chance. But I agree that trivial stuff doesn't have to be rolled on. Rules should only enforce rolls when failure can result in significant consequences or if they are part of a Minigame (like downtime).

I mean currently most new players are arguably introduced to ttrpgs via D&D, which in my mind is as much jank as the next medium crunch rpg. Are you arguing against this (then I agree) or against having higher crunch systems in general (then I disagree)?

I think sending a pdf by email would be easier. The big problem is more how you are getting paid and how you deal with taxes.

The Thicc's Boson

The first 100% effective HIV prevention drug is approved and going global An epidemic that's been sustained for 44 years might finally be quelled, with the milestone approval of the first HIV drug that offers 100% protection with its twice-yearly injections. It's a landmark...

Well, I'll be damned.

It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up.

WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3.
