I will even try to get better at using hashtags so you can filter out what doesn't interest you. #GameDesign #GameDevelopment #Programming #TTRPG #DrawSteel #MountainLegacy #BoardGames #פידכלבים #Cute #Politics #InternationalRelations #Environmental #Enshittification #MolochTrap #Education

אם יגידו לי שהמתנחלים זרקו אבנים על העיתונאית כי הם לא יודעים לקרוא אנגלית, לא ידעו מה זה Press וחשבו שעוד מישהו באפוד וקסדה (מצלמה או לא) היא חיילת/שוטרת ובאה להפריע להם. #פוליטיקה #politics

רוזוולט לא אמר שהיפנים נכס בזמן מלחמת העולם השנייה ובוש לא העביר כסף לאל-קעידה. השוואה יותר נכונה היא טראמפ מול קו'ויד. אובמה הקים צוות להתכונן לפנדמיות ואיך להתמודד איתן כשהן מגיעות לארצות הברית. טראמפ פירק את הצוות הזה. #political #פוליטי

בדיוק. מי שלא מצביע תורם להפיכתה של ישראל לדיקטטורה

אהרון סורקין מסביר טוב יותר טוב ממני למה חשוב להצביע בבחירות, ועדיין - בתקופה בה המוסדות הכי חשובים שלנו נמצאים תחת התקפות וניסיונות להשתלטות עוינת, אין לאף אחד מאיתנו את הפריבילגיה להישאר בבית ביום הבחירות. זה המינימום שאפשר וצריך לעשות למען המדינה. מתוך NYT והארץ.

The earliest I can remember is Total Recall. Watched it in 1991, probably, so I was 7. My family told me that I can't watch it and to go to sleep. So, of course, I snuck out of bed and hid at the edge of the living room until they let me join. Great movie, freaky things. Had nightmares that night. 🤷‍♂️

Sleepy Hollow Reviews 🎃🐎@sleepingvillage.bsky.social

In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

Averaged over the 70 years of existence of nuclear power, it has caused the least amounts of deaths from operating (counted as deaths per 1000TWh). Yes, less than wind, solar, and hydro. It's the most dense source and easiest to handle of all the waste generators. So... why just 10% of capacity?

Can I drive home safely and inconspicuously? Definitely. Can I do all the physical sobriety tests? Definitely. Will a breathalyzer test put me in jail right now? Most definitely. #DontDrinkAndDrive

This sounds very familiar to something that is going on right now but I can't quite put my finger on it...

A weird thing that really happened around the year 2000 was that mainstream news ran and pushed a story for MONTHS that there was a secret new invention that was going to be revolutionary and then it turned out it was the Segway

Optimist: The glass is half full Pessimist: The glass is half empty TTRPG Game Guide: Is the glass or its contents dramatic? Then if it makes sense for you to have a glass, you have a glass. If it makes sense for it to contain water, it contains water. Now what are you doing to my game with it?

Optimist: The glass is half full Pessimist: The glass is half empty Systems designer: Yeah I know this is an immersive sim but if "glass shard" is a melee weapon and every glass object breaks into glass shards, the player has unlimited weapons. So when SOME glass stuff breaks it just shatters, ok?

I mean, this is a VTT I'm using. Look at this! This is amazing!

game stores should have useful tags like epilepsy warnings, small hard to read font, colorblindness issues, gambling addiction warnings so you can filter stuff based on your health

Really good insight(!): NT brains work on Importance. #ADHD brains work on excitement/stress. If it's not literally making our hearts race, it will feel like actual pain in our mind.

שלוש הפתרונות היחידיים שאפשריים, ועדיין שומרים על מדינה יהודית, הם בסוף: מדינות, אפרטהייד, וטיהור אתני. שני האחרונים לא עוברים קהל. לא בארץ ולא בעולם. אם נשתמש בהם, נהיה אפילו עוד יותר מוקצים ממה שאנחנו עכשיו. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2DP... ...

הרעיון הוא לא לצמצם את עצמנו. הרעיון הוא לקבוע גבולות ברורים שאנחנו בצד אחד והם בצד השני ושלא נריב על מי גר פה באמת ומה שטח צבאי סגור. שיהיה ברור, כמו הגבול בסוריה, שסתם לחצות אותו, בלי אישור מדיני ומעבר גבול לגיטימי, זה לא חוקי.

להכריח אותם לקחת אחריות ושאנחנו יכולים לחיות בשיתוף פעולה אבל אם האזרחים שלהם פושעים, נגדנו, והם לא לוקחים על זה אחריות, יש עונשים, כמו מדינה מול מדינה, לא כמו אוכלוסיה נשלטת תחת מדינה שהם לא שייכים לה והכל אפור.

להרוג אותם? טיהור אתני. לגרש אותם? טיהור אתני. חינוך מחדש? טיהור אתני. לספח אותם? אפרטהייד. שליטה בהם בנפרד מישראל? אפרטהייד. המצב כמו שהוא עכשיו? אפרטהייד שקוף שלא מוכנים להודות בו בארץ. עוד רעיונות?

You know that feeling when you're just sad and you don't know why and you want to cry but you don't and you want to do something to cheer yourself up but nothing works and you think maybe you should just go to sleep but it's barely 2200 and then you start hating yourself a little? No? Just me? Ok.

My society is atheist. Because they follow what makes sense and is useful. No gods.

#MythAugust 17 Hopefully Bluesky is nice today! 😅 Who are the authority figures among your deities' followers - people who fill the role of clergy or something similar? Is their role generally benevolent, like teachers or therapists? Is it more like witchhunters? Are there prophets? 👀

I don't understand why this even needs to be discussed! What makes sense here? That a bunch of extremists leftists marxists anarchists used a blade to cut a 100m of rhino-liner and then peel it off, in one of the most surveilled and patrolled public places in the US and there's no video of it? Or...

And then said president drove The Beast (An armored car weighing 9(!) TONS(!!!)) and his motorcade on it, then had people pour paint stripper on to it? What makes more sense damaging the pool? Take another minute. Yes, there is a right answer.

So, if you're a reporter and someone claims vandals, you should say, "Ok. You making an argument. It isn't until you prove that it is. Where's your evidence? Nothing? Ok, next topic."

Also, why the hell isn't it the rule of the land that if you sue someone and you lose, you pay the other side's legal fees and maybe some more for emotional and temporal damage. And if your suit was dismissed as bullshit, just double that...

The demented shit-posting president just decided, with no bidding or vetting, to give a "contract" (which was probably shit) to someone who looks like a cross between a mafia boss and a robber baron, who had no experience and did a rush job...

If you take a game and change one rule for one session at one table, you're a designer. Congrats. Now let's see how far you can go.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

I love deep RPGs. I have hundreds of hours in Kingmaker, Solasta, and various others. But when I really really tried to play Dragon Age, it felt so clunky I couldn't take it. Like swimming in molasses. The characters were uninteresting and some world building was so surreal I couldn't connect.

No hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.

If you're posting a time and the name of your timezone, for any reason, whether you like it or not, you are being hostile to anyone you are trying to coordinate with who is not from your country and shares your timezone (or maybe one time zone earlier/later). Don't do that! Give a UTC!

זה יהיה ממש מצחיק אם נראה אפילו עוד יותר טנדרים בכביש כי יש כאלו חשמליים במחיר סביר.

Never had a truck before (or wanted one) but a 5 seater AWD EV with a lil truck bed could be an interesting vehicle. Considering the price of gas and how cheap it is to run my Leaf at the moment... www.motortrend.com/news/2028-fo...
