You see I too often sat in school classes and thought “when am I ever going to need this, I’m never going to be an engineer, I’m never gonna be a scientist, I’m never gonna be a linguist” and then I grew up and it turns out a lot of bigots and cults and scams and grifts hinge their entire business model on you just. Not knowing what a protein is or some shit

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

Once upon a time a game developer traded their soul for hyperrealistic human pores and in return the devil took away Finished Game and Only Pay One Time, things we didn’t even know were optional

fighting the problematic stereotype of 'only the bad guys are weird sex perverts' by making the good-hearted protagonist an even weirder sex pervert

Hot take, I think more ttrpg books should be available in paperback. I want this hobby to be affordable and i think that this would help. I played cyberpunk 2020 recently, and the book was really nice even with its cheaper construction. The starfinder/pathfinder pocket editions are also really nice, if a little small. I feel like DnD created this really slanted expectation that every book needs to be a giant hardcover that costs $50-$70+ and like those books are nice but I don't have money for that.

One of my favourite "modern jobs" is that of the bicycle courier. Sure, couriers have been around for centuries – just ask the dude who really screwed up his arches doing the first marathon. Bicycle couriers, though, bring that anarchic bicyclist energy to the already frazzled life of getting envelopes full of things across town.

There's simply nothing like pulling up to an intersection and watching someone engage in an elaborate and death-defying ballet of aluminum and gears. Stairs don't stop them. Traffic won't hold them up. Once, I saw a guy ramp his bike off a playground slide and over a fence "as a shortcut." I personally would not ride my bicycle directly under a rolling freight train in order to save fifteen seconds on a delivery, but that's why you're paying these psychos and not me. Hell, I might decide the whole thing is just too much like work and go home instead.

Now, you might think, as I did, that it is a mere relic of the 90s. Another urban legend to be lost to antiquity like "retirement" and Hypercolour t-shirts. By now, you believe, all contracts must be signed online. Up in the Everlasting Cloud. There can be simply no need to physically go between two offices, and risk getting run over by a truck delivering rye bread. Not so. Bicycle couriers are in fact bunny-hopping their beat-up old rigs across a downtown near you every single day, even if it's just to deliver a bowl of ramen to a senior partner.

The next time you see one of these suicidal lunatics in traffic, don't get upset that they're getting where they're going before you do. Respect their unorthodox lifestyles. Salute them. And maybe fear them a little bit. Because when it comes time for your boss's boss's boss to deliver a very small item a very short distance in an extremely short time, they're there to potentially get run the fuck over by a Nissan Armada and look good doing it.

I mean this kindly, as I agree with the premise, but if you want people to play ttrpgs other than D&D, you need to start talking about why those games are enjoyable, instead of making fun of people for homebrewing in 5e for the umpteenth time

If you're interested in or curious about OPs point, I host a show called One Shot, where every few weeks we play a new indie RPG, of all different kinds, with a rotating cast of hilarious and wonderful performers and friends!!

it's a well known fact that we're social creatures who will literally go insane from prolonged isolation, but what they don't tell you is that if you spend enough time alone even microdosing on social interaction will feel like pouring liquid nitrogen directly onto your nerve endings and you will behave like a coked up golden retriever

i get the “how old are jessie and james” and “how old is brock” questions but how do SO MANY PEOPLE not know how old ash is??? he’s 10!!! that’s his whole thing!!!

Based on observation, the average human that likes sour cream and onion-flavored snacks is repulsed by salt and vinegar-flavored snacks, and vice-versa. If you somehow like both, I have reason to believe you're on a higher plane of existence than the rest of us
