TTRPG systems, at their core, are frameworks of creative restraints, posing imaginary exercises you wouldn't undertake otherwise.

House-ruling games out the gate avoids the confrontation of expectations & robs you the opportunity of switching frameworks, making you default into a "standard game".

Rules-lite also means assumption heavy

Three out of these four I quite liked, guess which ones.

Kind of hateful I have to work the whole day before I can go and try out Pokemon Pokopia.

Home - Not in our name Not In our Name: Women in support of the trans+community

More than 86,000 women have now signed the Not In Our Name letter to say that trans exclusion is not what we want and should not be done on our behalf.

If you’re a woman who believes in dignity, fairness and standing alongside our trans+ siblings, add your name:

I have a patreon. It’s £3 a month & you get to see some art every Saturday, either a finished comic page from Worms, my gothic horror comic, or process images of the previous weeks page (pencils, inks, textures). It’s pretty cool & helps me out a lot. www.patreon.com/erikapriceart

I've heard nothing but good things about mint, but for some reason I was put off by canonical working on the underlying ubuntu. A company (albeit private) upstream from my distro had me worried about future enshittification, which is probably entirely unfounded. I'll still try mint eventually.

Looking more into this article it might be unsubstantiated actually (i.e. just made up), but since Windows 11 got too annoying as it is I might as well leave up the above post.

I'm not the most tech-savvy person out there (I grew up with PCs instead of smartphones), but it was pretty easy to try out and install two Linux distros on my home machines (Debian gnome and Fedora KDE plasma). Linux mint is supposed to be even easier to transition to from Windows.

I only back projects withou ai involvement, and I'm very annoyed if that information is not displayed immediately but instead buried in the faq of the project, or, slightly worse, requires me to go to the site of the producers to see their stance.

Ministers in the House of Lords have refused to rule out a Corporate Research Exemption in AI scraping regulations.

This must be lobbied, and I've asked my MP to do so.

It's incredible how thin-skinned people who post gen-ai images are when it comes to criticism. Just heartbroken when people don't praise something they didn't even make! The world's worst Harry Potter fan-artist has more integrity.

1.9% even, she lost her deposit.

Fielded a terf, received the "worst result for the conservatives in by-election history"

Lots of white male reporters this morning being reflexively sexist and racist about last night's result.

Single transferable vote or something like it would save them from that imho. PR not so sure, but there are loads of people that would prefer labour to reform even if they'd like the greens more still. But yeah, we'll have to witness the slow motion trainwreck.

They'll continue to shout "vote for us or you get Reform" louder and louder until they lose the next election instead. They'll continue the green smears hard also, and obvs not do anything remotely left policy wise. Pretty certain of that sadly.

I doubt it. I can see them worry (rightly) that with PR (or a form of ranked voting, for that matter) the amount of votes they lose from people being able to vote for who they genuinely want would be too large to be offset by the gains in seats from the difference in system - so a non-starter.

Blue shows odds tightening, red shows odds drifting.

Greens hot favourites and coming in, Labour outsiders of three and drifting out.

If you want to oppose Reform don't waste your vote on Labour.

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him ‘any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ Davidson said he ‘can’t begin to explain how upset and distraught I have been’ over slurs he shouted during the award ceremony

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

I realised this the other day and switching made me realise that for my use cases it was more work by far and now I feel like the training weights have come off. 99% of that new time and energy goes into not becoming the most annoying Linux evangelist you'll ever meet.

I'm a full decade late to the party but finally watched Nocturnal Animals after it's been on my watchlist since it first came out, and boy this film sure hates women. You're telling me a male fashion designer made this? Based on a novel by a man? Waaow I'm shocked. Shocked I say.

Character selection screen FINISHED, this is what all the weird little guys I've been drawing recently are for. No sound for now, probably gonna do that all at the end, next up is making the places the "game" will happen in.
