Except without ever actually buying a book. They feel entitled because they could but won’t.

They were always against you, man, wanted to bring you down.

It’s a safe guess that most of the really ugly posts come from people who never bought anything from Green Ronin, have hated them since (or before) learning they hire guy guys and queer girls, and are in no way affected by anything Chris and Nicole do. But that doesn’t make those people any less...

Scarcely good enough. Are we discussing Armageddon, some sort of Ragnarok, the immanentizing of the Eschaton, a hard-takeoff Singularity…? EN Workd is not the place for your sloppiness! :)

Police spending I endorse. If it’s successful, I hope they’ll add more groups.

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

The differences are small but beautifully formed.

I seldom need to discuss the quantity of anything in mmol/L or mg/dl except when talking to my endocrinologist, who’d be happy at a reading of 110 mg/dl or 6 mmol/L, but that’s just measurements of my blood sugar level. They’re units on two different scales for the same value. I don’t think of...

I agree with the flaws in “natural language”.

Natural language doesn’t count because your twitching eye isn’t jargon unless it verbalizes. (Quality misreadings an artform.)

I’m tempted to say “all of them”, but that’s a little overreacting. There are probably some not yet drained of all useful meaning. But broadly speaking, if you can find it in use on three different sites/services, it’s past that point. Very little useful discussion about gaming needs jargon, or...

Wow, a lot of items created to pander to my interests this week. Thanks!

Who knew @Snarf Zagyg also sings?

We have fifty years of outdoors, wide-open experiments to show that very few game companies ever grow very large. There are a wide variety of reasons, among them the reality that great business managers willing to work on gaming’s small scale are scarcer than great game designers and artists. In...

If Coca-Cola were the size of rpg companies and suffered a hit like this, I might well donate to help. If Jones Soda Company did, ditto.

But this isn’t any kind of sales data. It’s DDB usage data, and in the US, this has been a time of great job stress for both political and non-political reasons: foolish use of LLMs, massive government employee and contractor layoffs, drastically increased instability, etc. it’s quite possible...
