That’s true. But the world is not poorer off for having fewer people - of any sort - starving in it. That seems brutally callous more than, I dunno, snarky or something.

The humor value of this is diminished when you know people who’ve had chronic health problems exacerbated by malnutrition, while they had the misfortune to make a few hundred dollars too many per year to qualify for Medicaid. The starving artist aesthetic has always been boosted by people who...

I’m a slavering fan of the Dryco series. Ambient is impressive by itself, but the series as a whole goes utterly amazing places, and keeps doing dazzling things with language. Random Acts Of Senseless Violence is heartbreaking, in particular. And the bit with the refrigerator door in Ambient...

Species and favored nuts are the axes for splats. Disciplines determine where on the spectrum from serious to cartoony your character is. Merits cover things like tail bushiness and cheek pouch capacity.

That’s close to the opposite of what I said. Also, this is really abusive language. Good luck finding other folks unusually keen on having you insult them, their friends, and their colleagues.

It’s very much that. The kind of supplement lines I gladly contributed to for nostalgia of decade weren’t long-term viable and are even less so now. To be viable, they need to have termination in mind, because ongoing lines shed sales. That can come with an internal plot line that comes to a...
