Hex | Cryptic Crits

Doing a hell of a lot of shot-taking today, so let's make with the newer dice from this past year. Hey folks, I'm Hex, your midwest cryptid & dicemaker. I make sets for D&D, Daggerheart, VtM & so much more. If you want something just WEIRD, I'm your huckleberry. Trans Rights & Fuck ICE!

Well. Got laid off, position terminated this Saturday. I need some time to remake my resume and everything but if anyone is looking for a Front-End engineer with 12yrs of exp in the Bay Area/Remote U.S. Ping me.

"I am not responsible for the version of myself that someone else created in their mind" is the most powerful life lesson I've ever learned.

It’s now pretty much exactly one month since Nighthawks came out. No tech disasters, people seem to have enjoyed it, and we sold more than my prediction of (checks) five copies, so… I think we can call honour satisfied! Of course, please keep buying it, ta. store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/...

As an addendum to all of this, I'd love to hear if this trailer is actually the Real Deal: youtu.be/WP3ieef0mpE?...

Casting a net of questionable size here, if you’re an ex-BioWare dev (or know of one who may not see this) working on something cool you’d like featured in a roundup at Kotaku, drop it below. Store page links helpful, and let me know what your role was at BW. Projects big and small welcome! RTs plz!

what exactly DOES happen to materials from a major studio that’s closed? where do physical hard drives, documents, etc go? who maintains all this pointless secrecy? if you know or have stories, get in touch: nathan@aftermath.site, nathangrayson.666 (signal), aftermathdotsite@proton.me (proton mail)

I will say this again and again until election day: Polls are bullshit, turnout is real. I want to believe in Blexas (h/t @katelynburns.com who always cheerleads me on this) but we only get there if we get every last person we know who supports Texas D's to the polls.

Whenever one of these comes out, you know I'm generating this one.

My unauthorized tours of Harper's Ferry will include me handing out these stickers.

I would rush $15 before tonight's fundraising deadline to any democrat who commits to never mentioning his name or speaking to him again.

Oh God....

This is a masterclass in effective communication while also not being afraid to point out bigotry for what it is. We should be so lucky to have someone like this in our government.

A bad update: we're getting reports of pro-No Kings creators who have been suspended today as well. And we still lack backend access to the official No Kings account. Stay tuned, will report news when I have it.

Hard agree. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s because Meta sued the author and got a gag order that prevents her from saying a single word about her own book. Mark Zuckerberg is a threat to human rights and democracies the world over, including ours. It is vitally important you know how and why.

sorry to spam but the tinsel brushes fucking eat 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Looking for a ttrpg layout designer that can turn my 17 pages of text into a thing that resembles a solo game. Victorian haunted house vibes. gAI users need not apply.

It's really quite easy to help artists feel encouraged to show you more of the things that're sitting in their heads :D

A weekend as a hired hand for a pyrotechnics company. I wasn't willing to wake up at 4am to start on the job and came and only worked 8hr days. Never got paid, but I was able to wave a paper around that said I'd met all the legal training to shoot commercial grade fireworks in my state like a pro.

Whoever was on my fyp talking about a Julie bot that kept following them It's following me now, too.

Same for India/pakistan stuff! I can help with Urdu/Hindi too.

Pleasant form = Natalie Harp's Assistant. Probably.

thinking about the thing i've put off for months vs. doing it in 3 minutes

Holy shit, welcome back to (un)life Mapquest. Will never forget that time telling my folks to look up directions to Rosemont Arena from the Kennedy Expressway cuz we were broken down and gridlocked. And it was before smart phones. I wrote directions on a sketchpad & handed it off from the back.

Kenney Shape is now FREE! (and it'll remain free, forever) ✨ Previously a paid tool, I'm releasing it as a gift to the community. Today's update will be the final one, with no further updates planned. That way I can focus on new software & projects! kenney.itch.io/kenney-shape

One game is Funeral for the Sun, which has the genius premise of Roottrees-esque genealogy deduction but with a Latin American, magical realist setting. But it's more than just a single clever idea; I think the time I spent with it only scratched the surface. store.steampowered.com/app/4088360/...

The other is Inkblood, which... jesus just go look at this steam page and look at what this game looks like, and then please understand that the screenshots don't really convey what this looks like in motion, nor do they include the sickest stuff in it store.steampowered.com/app/4114100/...

As more campaigns go public (and win!), you may see an uptick in union-busting rhetoric and behavior from companies, managers, and even your misinformed fellow worker. Don't fall for it. Check out CWA's Union Busting Playbook to familiarize yourself with typical tactics. unionbustingplaybook.com

Who’s going to be the first to start up a running list of AI companies reported to be filing for bankruptcy? I don’t have time, but that’ll be a high traffic page or post.

Again, we don't hate this man anywhere near enough. (Not you, Mister Reich. I loved you on @dropout.tv .)

Last RT - I had a feeling the leadership at HasOTC (since last I checked the same guy is running both) would be stupid. Probably thinks he can do the 100 monkey Shakespeare thing with the next Baldur's Gate.

If you’d like to join us in calling on leadership to reconsider yesterday’s decision and help us build a better Wizards together, you can encourage them to do so by signing our petition and sharing it! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

Holy shit, nuance!

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Pie your local fashie today in honor.

#OtD 14 Oct 1977 anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. She then began praying and burst into tears. Following a boycott, she lost her job as brand ambassador for Florida orange juice. More LGBT+ history here: workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/

People think I’m hating on Indiana and Ohio with these “Hell Is Real” stickers, but I’m not. I’m just letting people know where they can go to do some sightseeing for billboards like these. #ohio #indiana

This one is dedicated to everyone who never quite fit in. Why start now? Shirts and more in slime green and ink black over on my threadless shop. laurynipsum.threadless.com

Once an older gay man marching in the Pride parade with me said in re: corporations in the parade said “it’s better than them killing us” and that stuck with me.
