Hanna’s autobiography “Rebel Girl” was a good read, though parts of it are harrowing.

Royal Assassin was like my favorite card back in the day, playing in school when 4th edition was new. I had a couple of them and animate dead. Good times.

Only the Democratic Party and Iran scored more negatively than AI,

The Democrats. The Republicans hate them and the Democrats hate them. What a colossal, world ending, disappointment

I want all the AI slop adopters to suffer and be ruined.

I haven’t found a good alternative for getting better at French or learning Spanish from scratch, but I haven’t tried very hard. Maybe I should replay expedition 33 in French…

The kids don’t deserve to get sick but the parents deserve shame and some sort of reeducation.

I think I said this before, but a problem is when someone says “I don’t like star trek: discovery” it’s impossible to know if they have reasons beyond “i don’t like black women”. They might not even know themselves! And if they do, they’re unlikely to come out and say that. They’ll reach for something more acceptable like “I wanted self contained episodes” (but DS9’s arcs are cool) or whatever.

There are so many duds online they’ve poisoned the well of discourse.

Living in a walkable city is probably doing wonders for me. I walk about 3 miles several times a week without even thinking about it.

Public servants shouldn’t be allowed to own stock, except maybe through some sort of arm’s length diversified portfolio managed by a third party. Like, you can put money in Vanguard’s index funds, but you can’t pick individual stocks. Maybe. I would also accept that you just aren’t allowed to own stock. Put your money in government bonds or something.

I really liked the Shadowrun games and would have liked more. I’d especially like something more open ended like the Sega Genesis Shadowrun game, where you take semi randomized missions and pursue your own goals.

I think there might be a mod that does something like that, but whatever one I tried was kind of janky at the time (years ago)

Also I never thought I’d like the rigger archetype, but they’re very effective in these games. Little robot buddies go bang bang!
