"Adopt don't shop" and "that's a 10 year commitment" style PSAs except instead of being aimed at would-be irresponsible pet owners it's for people who want to start yet another long-term ttrpg campaign

[ragsy]

now I'm thinking about a petfinder type service where would-be GMs browse through lists of abandoned or surrendered campaigns with hopes of finding a loving but skittish party of adventurers and their bbeg to adopt

"Where did you come up with this convoluted plot?"

"It's a rescue 🥰"

This would be really funny if it weren’t an email from my bank.

You can actually predict bubbles, especially ones this obvious. Everyone who wants to know how should read A Short History of Financial Euphoria by John Kenneth Galbraith.

Yes, it’s dry.

Yes, it’s 30 years old.

But it gives a tidy little checklist of “is this a bubble?” and AI has been checking every one off like a to do list. Just like NFTs and ponzicoin did before it.

[redwooding]

You can also read This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff. It's on bookshop.org and, of course, on the Evil Empire website. It's all in the title, which is an ironic quoting of people who say what bubble-istas always say - what AI people are saying right now.

"The Market has always recovered after bubbles"

Says the thieving fucks who get bailout after bailout funded by our taxes, taken out of our society, when THEY fuckup.

Sorry Timmy, can't afford to pay for your medical treatments, some fascist cunts on child rape island bet that their hallucinating CSAM generator could replace your dad's job.

Not just "fuck ICE" but also "love immigrants"

[awakefor48hours]

ICE is a domestic terrorist group that promotes behaviors similar to literal slave catchers and nazis that needs to be stopped yesterday.

and

Immigrants are human beings who deserve no more or less love than anyone else on the planet.

[hollowboobtheory]

you cannot convince me illegal immigration is a real problem and I'm sick of pretending it is. yk when you were a kid and you got mad at your sibling for crossing an imaginary line that you drew in the car? that's what you're doing right now except you're actually killing people over it

[wizardarchetypes]

How my players react when I have them face something somewhat challenging

How they react when they encounter something they literally aren’t supposed to be able to beat yet

How they react when they beat something that wasn’t even meant to be a challenge

I both love, and am weirdly fascinated by my players’ lack of sense of scale.

[eternalgirlscout]

the ideal GM/player dynamic is when one side says "here are some problems i caused" and the other says "thank you so much! i will make these worse" back and forth forever

[teaboot]

I’m starting to sound like a nutcase at work because upper management keeps trying to implement AI programs and AI assistants and Chat GPT and my middle-of-the-road, don’t-infodump, don’t-engage response has been “I don’t like AI”, “I prefer to remain in control of my own tasks”, “I’d rather make my own mistakes”, and “I don’t trust any machine smarter than a toaster”

[teaboot]

My honest opinion: “Generative Artificial Intelligence” is a purposefully misleading liar’s name we gave to a labour-stealing company’s proprietary algorithm so they could market it to businesses who would rather see simple work done badly at the expense of the consumer than contribute to the community it is profiting off by offering even a single human being in that population the barest minimum honest wage to learn and do it properly, simultaneously robbing the working class while grifting both the client and the customer, and we’re buying into it because we’re a superstitious social species of codependent apes would could pack bond with a rock if we spent enough time around it existing in the most extreme state of social disconnection and parasocial reliance humanity has ever known, like a dying man in the ocean drinking saltwater

What I have to keep saying to avoid being classified as “the conspiracy theorist”: Haha yeah I guess I’m a bit of technophobe lol
