I actually have a bachelors degree in mathematics, but I only use it for dumbass shit these days
Go for a ride?
Folks gassing up literary fiction and looking down their noses at sci-fi and fantasy because the former is "grounded in real human experiences", then you look at your average piece of literary fiction and the author's notion of how the real world operates is AT LEAST as fantastical as Narnia.
It's funny to me because with my wife and I 99% of the time the age difference doesn't matter at all but then the rest of the 1% it's just the "when I graduated college you were in kindergarten" -> "can yuo put that out on me?" meme

My 9 games!
A bit eclectic, but a mix of games I've returned to again and again, games that developed my formative understanding of the medium, and games that changed how I looked at games-as-art.
If you're in the game industry and use LinkedIn, please do me a favor and share my post about Sentona Games screwing me out of money I'm owed. Thank you
Top-tier name - good taste!
I once wrote a song that made Tony nominated composer Michael John LaChiusa cry
Think we've got about two more months on what we have been able to scrounge up. After that, will probably need more short term gigs. Keep bear in mind for audio editing and a art π
(Also, I'd like SNAP back plz)
I was briefly part of a leftist organization that turned out to be part of a cult.
I know people are concerned about some things in this article like Gemini encouraging the man to go to actual real world locations to commit mass violence and giving instructions for how to kill himself, but you have to consider: Google said Gemini is designed not to do that and βpobodyβs nerfectβ

The March Mecha Newsletter features Girl Frame and an interview with the creator @anxiousmimicrpgs.bsky.social! Girl Frame is a PBTA game about lesbian pilots, forced into half-living mech suits and sent by their Handler to kill eldritch beings from outside reality.
It's incredibly well-written.
Bluesky just recommended a post by a TERF account claiming to be run by Quakers and that's just... such a series of words to put one after the other

First TTRPG I played that wasn't D&D?
It was either Legend of the Five Rings or Mage the Awakening, can't remember which one was technically first.
Also trick question - I've never actually played D&D, lol
I very much hate that I intimately understand every single word of this.
YES ... HA HA HA ... YES!!!

Gives your game with a beautifully poetic title that perfectly captures and expresses its core themes a really dumb abbreviation.
I very much like that you're choosing to use your free time and immense power for evil!

I loved the show - I wish it had been out when I was a teenage girl - but it's a show for preteen and teenage girls.
Dude, just own it and be like "yeah, I like this show for teenage girls" you're allowed to like media aimed at kids goddddddddddddd
It's such a weird impulse to do this!
As a position, it minimizes how much everything is all part of the capitalist/imperialist system. They think they can do whatever they want, and part of what they want is to destabilize, exploit, and destroy other countries for their own gain!

They want to do this, same as they wanted to do pedophilia and everything else!
Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting
