Brainstorming for 4-dimensional dungeons. Just playing with physical components really helps me think through the possibilities. What if I cut or folded the base paper? What if I add multiple floors (other sheets) and connected them at weird angles.... 🧵

Even knowing these are drawings, every time I see Elicia's work I do a doubletake before I realize I'm not looking at an altered photograph. Magical Hyperrealism?

What kind of GM are you? I'm sort of nomadic tent city multitudes of psychedelic mushroom people GM.

I recently installed a new browser and had the rare experience of looking at #YouTube without my normal algorithm - or any browser profile or cookies or anything installed. It was really disturbing and very, very right wing. At least a dozen of the top videos it suggested were attacks on feminism.

One would think that whatever the POTUS calls "the ban on the free press" would be summarily overturned by the SCOTUS, but this is America so it probably will be allowed to stand and all the media companies affected will pay him a million dollars and promise to kiss ass even more.

AI industry experts who call the risk of human extinction from AI is "serious but manageable" usually say the risk is 2.5-5%. Imagine you had a magic 20-sided die that let you name any real world problem and on a 2+ it was fixed, but if you roll a 1, EVERYONE dies. No sane person rolls that die.

"You gave us billions to create this technology that we've known was civilization-ending dangerous for decades, and now that we've made it, it definitely might be.... so you should give us billions more to be sure that we keep making it even more dangerous, but responsibly now because arms race!"

Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory uncovered a new class of cosmic objects: 84 “hypersoft X-ray sources” scattered across six different galaxies, including Andromeda and the Pinwheel galaxy!

the low-key hilarity of "Massive Attack On Pentagon Page 14 News"

I've had a Gamefound account for a long time. I just noticed that I misspelled my own name. In other news, I put the compost bucket in my trunk. The next day, I noticed the car smelled *terrible*. I didn't know why until my wife opened the trunk and asked why the compost bucket was in there.

What if labyrinths and mazes could be a GM tool? How can we use invisible games tethered to strange details to structure psychological horror? Can Uno be terrifying?

Hearing Trump talking about trade makes it so obvious why he's filed for bankruptcy so many times. How can a guy who spent 50 years pretending to be a businessman not understand that US companies importing goods isn't bad for US companies. They already wouldn't be doing it if it was bad for them.

Now that Elon's X Groks, does that trump the use of grok the way Trump trumped trump? Because I feel like it does and just don't like either word anymore. I didn't really go for grok in the first place, but as a table top game designer, getting icked by the word "trump" has been obnoxious.

I miss when AI generated images was just experimental hallucinogenic weirdness we could all laugh about.

All those people crying about "erasing history" when Confederate slavers' statues came down are all up in arms right? RIGHT!?

people gotta support each other doing cool stuff or no one will be able to do cool stuff.

I think there's potentially a valid reading of the Tao Te Ching that it was an early attempt to describe fractal geometry and Chaos Theory.

TBF, if everyone on Earth turned into a bear - bear body, bear mind - the world would be way better off, and most people would probably be ok with it.

TIL that typing chrome://flags/ into your #Chrome address bar gives you a (pretty huge) list of experimental features #Google has opted you into trying without asking! You can disable ones you don't want. I used it to disable the shitty new #Android Chrome AI focused UI update. Search "bottom bar"

This is a real letter that President Trump’s aide sent to him.

Wow. What a thread. The only time I thought about 4 dimensional beings in Ross in RPGs was when I saw them as antagonists in a Mage: the Ascension book. I thought they were too complicated to include. But this is crazy and weird and fun! Very wow!

I just noticed that my #Google storage plan has been "upgraded" to a Google AI plan that includes that storage I already had, but is now more expensive. It's no longer an option to buy just the storage.

This is a critical component missing from antiques roadshow.

In 76 days the American public is going to learn the monsters they elected are simply going to refuse to leave. Vote! But prepare for what comes next. He has assembled a private Army, permanently settled the national guard in D.C. and has reinforced the White House. Why? Use your brain.
