a four-panel stick-figure cartoon

panel one:
three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. 

panel two:
the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested.

panel three:
as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-"

panel four
phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

are you in #vancouver (BC) and want to get some cybergaming on, pvnk?

starting March 11, i am running a short campaign using the CY_BORG ruleset and as many characters as we can burn through, hosted by @raincity.games. Can you free yourself from debt before reality resets?

also, the sheer power of narrative potential that @bmars.bsky.social brings to games? the genuine insight into making a character a *problem* that @cospingu.bsky.social can muster? the masterful direction and interweaving drama of @lilithttrpg.bsky.social?

this is going to be *fun*

it really sucks when someone whose taste you kinda trust ends up into talking and hyping something you know was made by an asshole but no one believes the creator is an asshole because he's good at hiding it and very litigious
