My first five TTRPGs in the order I played them: 1. D&D 4e 2. Pathfinder 3. Shadowrun 20th 4. Dungeon World 5. This is where it gets fuzzy... Marvel Heroic? Fiasco? DCC? Lady Blackbird? Our little story gamess group played a bunch of different stuff and I can't keep track of time on a good day

Tri-Tac included Stalking the Night Fantastic (AKA Bureau 13), Fringeworthy, and FTL 2448, all of which got a good amount of play in my group back in the ’80s.

The mainstream media should be shouting from the rooftops that this nightmare could happen to literally anyone. The Sword of Damocles hangs above each of us.

Amanda Smith spent three nights in jail after a Facebook Marketplace scam led to a CashApp account in her name. She says she didn't make it.

The rising costs detailed here apply mostly to mainstream cons. Indie cons are getting out of hand, too. I only attend either if all my costs are paid. But I'm a prima donna, and I don't need con income. If I was still hitting the road trying to make a name, yeah it would tough.

Well, we all know what can happen…

This is a tough one, I love a lot of classical works, and narrowing it down to one is pretty much impossible, but for the sake of the prompt I'll go with Eine kleine Nachtmusik. The version on the Amadeus soundtrack, played on period instruments with period-accurate tuning, is a particular favorite.

retconning this prompt to say composition, because everyone hates fun.

Shortest job? I worked at a Brand Names store for maybe two days before they fired me for being too out-of-shape to quickly run around the back room retrieving merchandise for the orders out front. When the manager told me I was, like, "Yeah, this isn't the job for me."

Add "for Tax Purposes" to a movie: Raising Arizona for Tax Purposes

Ten years ago a millennial would be, like, "Oh, man, I loved SWAT Kats when I was a kid, ha ha, I'm so old!" and I would be, like, "Ha, i grew up watching Sid & Marty Krofft shows, you're not that old…" Now, I'm, like, "Yeah, you're gettin' old, pull up a rocker."

Look, if we regulate guns every time there’s a shooting in an elementary school it's just going to make it harder for the next elementary school shooter.

I hate that whenever I encounter an interesting-looking musical artist on TitTok I have to scroll through their page to see if they use A.I. slop for anything, be it their music or visual accompaniment. And I *really* hate it when they do.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob shut down the old Choco Taco factory. So when Pete Hegseth promised to let them livestream an execution, they finally had something to cheer about. But then President Trump took it all way.

Kind of amazing to me that we're debating whether a chatbot has consciousness while being ruled over by a government run by men who deny the personhood of anything that isn't a wealthy white man or a fetus.

Ah, maybe even before the midterms.

I get the feeling that the "public execution" plan will get dropped sometime after the midterms. Coworker of mine suggested to me that the announcement of this barbaric plan is a trial balloon sent up to see how much can be gained by appealing to the bloodlust of the American public.

Re-post. This GOP attack ad is in heavy rotation during NFL games. TERF Soren Aldaco says Ohio's Sherrod Brown "supports sex changes for minors, irreversible surgery on kids like me.” 1. Aldaco has never lived in Ohio. 2. She had her surgery in Texas. So blame them. 3. She was 19, not a "kid."

*sigh* They didn’t just write the code. They trained the agents on data pertaining to what they did and TOLD THEM TO DO IT. The “rogue” and “we can’t control this” shit is PR hype. I need Journalists to stop being the most credulous marks on the planet.

One or more human beings are responsible for the code they wrote, and those are the people who should be held accountable. These programs are not acting “on their own”

Boo to all those companies.

More than two dozen workers at three major publishing houses—HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette—tell WIRED that LLMs are being used for publicity, cover art, back cover copy, and emails, as some execs push junior staff to champion the tech. Read the full story: buff.ly/p0ymGmN

And when it turns out that only the most deranged and degenerate knuckle-draggers are turned on by the idea while the rest of us express our disgust and horror at it, even the demonic little goon cosplaying as a tough guy who's bragging about it will realize he needs to drop it.
