When my first son was little I played a lot of Spiritfarer and it absolutely ruined me. Second time around, I'm sticking to Ball X Pit, nothing with a story thanks

A teacher at my school has actually written a novel, set at the school. He was after my time, but it still feels super weird. I'm not sure I ever want to read it.

I have a terrible flu and I've been reading The Isle. @lukegearing.bsky.social is giving me very weird dreams.

I get flashbacks to the level of Earthworm Jim 2 where you're in some intestines whenever I hear Moonlight Sonata.

Awesome thanks. Fingers crossed you hit your goals!

Are there any plans to write kid friendly adventures for this? Most of the stretch goals are art or APs. I would love to see more adventures or campaigns for little ones!

What about if you just cut a hole in it and have a flying poncho?

The "stop doing math" meme but it's about definitions

Years of definitions and yet no real world use for clarifying your terms

Yes please I'd like necessary and sufficient conditions for the application of concepts.

They have played us for fools.

They somehow end up in Paris, France instead of Paris, Texas.

The Offspring really hit me hard because we watched it when my wife was pregnant.

Also the sides of a d12 are pentagons, and that's rad.

You should call the game Probable Caws.

I know this is not near the top of the list of wtf for this image, but the stroke widths on the text are all over the shop. Ew.

My eldest is almost now at an age where we can start playing games with him. Its not the same as hanging out with friends, but it's its own sort of lovely thing.

Still chuckling at the idea of magnetic dice. I want some.

This is much funnier than other examples of philosophers with famous doppelgangers such as Robbie Williams and James Joyce.

I'll post my unhinged ttrpg opinions regardless of whether anyone is giving me likes, dammit.

Just imagining the astronauts trying to roll dice and they just bounce off the table and float away. It's a disaster, they're finding dice in all sorts of corners of the space station for months afterwards.

Comedy films should end with a post credits scene of a massive real life argument the cast got into that shows how much they actually don't get on and hate each others' guts.

Ok if I had some kind of extreme principle of charity kink I might enjoy pointing out that Alpha Go v Lee Sedol was 2016, maybe that's what they had in mind?

But neither of these very specific successes says anything about the kind of general so called AI that appears to be at issue in the post.

Ok, it's not the most egregious thing about this post, but Deep Blue v Kasparov was 1996/7. Thirty years ago. It took me 15 seconds to check this.

Look out gang, I'm going to do a Discourse.

Rules As Written isn't a thing. Rule As The Table Agrees Is Probably What The Author Intended is about as close as we ever get. But there's already wiggle room there you can't get rid of.
