@futurebird But they are the deep state! We don't need skilled professionals, we need people who will do what the people who don't know what the fuck they are doing tell them.

@tuban_muzuru @countcol There is a joy in realizing the infinity of the unknown, and becoming comfortable with not needing to know.

For the wide ranging role-players out there:Is there a dice pool system in print where after you roll, you sort your dice into subject dice (what you're trying to do) and object dice (what happens to your character)? It could mean you only have to roll once per turn to get the outcome.#TTRPG #Dice

@cstross You could adapt one of your earlier novels into a script, so you're not working from scratch.

I'm fond of digest size TTRPGs. They tuck into a smaller backpack than big hard bound tomes, and I don't like columns, so I think they're easier to read.#TTRPG

@clacke The answer clearly is to keep faith leaders out of our bathrooms.

Do any other Traveller players use the Miller rules for M-drives in gravity wells? It encourages you to put reaction drives on your ship if you really want to survive a slight mis-jump that puts you in between worlds and too far from the star. It also encourages a ship that operates far out from the gravity source, to plot an eccentric orbit that brings them back in again so their drives will eventually resume functioning.#Traveller #TTRPG

@odessa @jae And I believe it's 'salvation' rather than that movie where Ned Beatty has the hardest part.

@Nonilex I would settle for newcomers to politics, not necessarily just youth. Our leaders should come from all walks of life and age ranges, and recruiting diverse candidates will help bridge that generation gap.

@mastodonmigration @livcomp @indivisibleteam @renewedresistance The sentiment of a "More Perfect Union" appeals to me, indicating that the promise of America will always be a work in progress, and is opposite of MAGA, which says we have to go back to something. They are careful not to say openly what that is, but we know it's pre-1960, and for many, pre-1860.

@mastodonmigration @indivisibleteam @renewedresistance Yeah I'll be there, but someone needs to hire a PR firm with the money being raised. Just leave off the '... lives on' part, and march for Good Trouble

@Nonilex While Russia is clearly advancing, they control substantially less of Ukraine than they did just a few months into this war. They might even conquer Ukraine in ten more years and another few million Russian casualties, but it will be a Pyrrhic victory, and in a generation they'll have to give it back anyway. If the goal was to counter NATO, now the Swedes and Finns are in the alliance. Whoops!

@stux I'm fine with billionaires as long as the top rate is 50% and most deductions for the rich are eliminated.

How do game designers know the art they commission isn't AI in origin? If I'm not willing to sell a product with AI art from my own prompts, why would I pay someone else to write my prompts for me? My impulse is to hire a local artist so that I can meet with them and see their process, but the pool of artists worldwide is so much larger and more diverse.#Art #AI #TTRPG

@lextenebris I don't agree. The ends do not justify the means. Art is the issue now, creators not being rewarded for their work being used. Next it will be game designers who are seeing their games cannibalized for no recompense, and then poets who can no longer get paid because a computer can produce nebulously plagiarized poetry cheaper. The one area of work we should want to reserve for humanity is artistic expression. If artists are no longer being paid then art itself will begin to die.

@lextenebris Yes, we learn how to create art, and we are influenced by the art of others, but it is not automatically plagiarism. Why would I lie about caring? It's not the path of least resistance, I understand that, but it's worth it in the long run to preserve some things for humanity, as I happen to be human.I'm preparing to purge our site of AI 'art' and wanted some feedback. Thanks for your opinion, but you can't know what I care or don't care about, any more than I can read your mind.

@lextenebris @Sablebadger You could have just not engaged, rather than attempting to bring TwiX vibes over from the transmogrified blue bird. Definitely not the person for me, what with all that truth and actual thinking. If art is a lie then it's one I will choose to keep telling myself.
