Let go and let Godzilla.

There’s really only one way to mark the 99th anniversary of Roger Moore’s birth

if they're drinking nounwine it's fantasy. if they're snorting a verb it's sci fi

Me, every time a new episode of @nimbf.bsky.social drops:

START NOW

"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

Even the pope wants you to finish that screenplay

The phrase “Do not invent facts.” implies a lack of comprehension regarding what a fact is which makes the prompt meaningless. But, don’t worry, I wasn’t seeking meaning in all of this madness. 👨‍💻

This is amazing.

RPG TRADER IS NOW LIVE. FOR REAL. 🔥 Tell your friends, fellow creatives, imaginary dragons and your followers! We’ve already got: ⚔️ 250+ creators 📚 1,500+ RPG products live (and more on the way) 🌍 A marketplace built for indie RPG chaos in the best way 👉 RPG Trader is officially open.

They’re packaging it like this so it looks like a shallow trend, but Gen Z has gone through two financial crises, a pandemic, rising fascism, active shooter drills since they were toddlers, and are now being told by the oligarchy they’re to be replaced by robots. Socialism is the logical conclusion.

It looks like everyone had a good time at UKGE… as a Canadian unlikely to be at Gen Con or PAX Unplugged any time soon, I might need to pencil it in for 2027…

happy pride, shoutout as always to the 1978 gilbert baker pride flag which had pink and turquoise stripes for SEX AND MAGIC AND ART, and in this house we support gay sex and gay magic and gay art

I’mma let Gemini and Cancer season finish… but @jankapnoc.bsky.social made me one of the best avatar icons of all time. So ready for Leo season.

If you’ve been wanting to design your own TTRPG, here’s my advice for you. Its honestly pretty simple. (I almost want to start a « Make it small. Make it fun. Make it for you » game jam based in this idea

Guess what... I got a fever. And the only prescription... is moar dakka.

“I know they're serious about mental health because for one hour, once a year, they provide us with markers and adult colouring books.”

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Hey!! I asked your mom and she said it was ok for you to join the #RomantasyTTRPG jam! Whether you are a new or experienced designer, come make a romance/fantasy game with us!!! itch.io/jam/romantas...

Day 21 of #pleinairpril - i have myself extra time on this painting, probably because i love its subject so much, tbh!

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Having Irish and/or Australian coworkers makes everything better. ♥️🇮🇪🇦🇺

As someone who painstakingly handcodes HTML emails to look good, I want to slap the person who decided to make so-called Advanced Typography (“Smart” Justification and Hyphenation) pre-enabled on Microsoft Outlook.

Two consecutive weekends of feeling stupid proud of and blessed by living in Toronto, home to a pretty awesome game-designing and -playing community. 🎲📝🤓

"DnD is a gateway drug" carries with it the less-than-subtle implication that there are other TTRPGs that are harder, more addictive, and less accessible.

Wandered out of the rooms of nerds with dice to see nerds in costumes on the street… I love this city… now I just need to find some Furnal Equinox-ers to complete the experience.

An occupational hazard of being a Breakout attendee is wanting to play more games during the rest of the year.

Got to play a couple of episodes using this awesome sitcom engine… WITH Avery. It’s another @breakoutcon.bsky.social miracle. My good vibes cup overfloweth… and there are 3 more days!!!

Playtesting and playing games run by their designers is one of my favourite aspects of Breakout. Exploring @leafydragongames.bsky.social‘s Burnword was a delight.

Feels like there are fewer non-game-table locations to sit at this year’s @breakoutcon.bsky.social … probably a hotel-driven choice, but it certainly makes for a less comfortable experience to sort your goodies, or just chill between games, standing or on the floor.

One of these years, I’ll run a game at Breakout. So many truly lovely folks make the trip and the @breakoutcon.bsky.social staff are great.

Sad to miss my chickening opportunity with @moreblueberries.bsky.social, but hope his travels and remaining Breakout goes smoothly!

Any mutuals on ye olde BeReal?

In fact, every NPC can be hot. Try and stop me. I'll see you in court.

“Do you want to eat a hash brown?” to the tune of “Do you want to build a snowman?”

I want everyone to know that when I say things like "Godspeed" or "thank God" I'm not being Christian about it. It's just faster to type that and convey the same message as "AlanisMorissettespeed".
