Seeking feedback on #Demihumans, my new RPG. It's an Apocalypse World hack where the apocalypse is the death of everything and everyone magical in a fantasy human empire.

Computer-touchers: I like touching computers. I know a little about a lot and a lot about a few things (mostly web development in HTML/CSS/JS, Python, and PHP).

If I want to get a full-time job touching computers, what skill should I focus on, in your opinion?

Asking folks nearby if they need anything and trying to help them get it.

Fixing a broken thing that's not yours.

Grabbing an extra cup of coffee and handing it to the first person you see that could really use a warm beverage.

Drop by a local shelter and ask them what the people they turn away need to gets through the night. See if you can find folks to help gather those things together.

Walk instead of drive.

Stand outside and sing.

@popefucker my dream is to deradicalize caring for each other

folks please stop RTing screenshots of antisemitic Gab memes to "show everyone that Gab is bad"

imagine if the video game industry had instead grown out of sedate turn-based games on teleprinters at work to the character displays of early home microcomputers, instead of violent and noisy arcade machines designed for children and people in bars? maybe we'd have got high-quality high-res but slow-moving graphics earlier on, no sprites, (slow) 3D rendering takes off earlier? Doom released looking like Doom but playing like Myst? Nintendo still only make toys?? Philips CD-i a wild success?????

Played Murderous Ghosts: The 2017 Halloween Party edition tonight, and it rocked.

It feels just like the one-on-one game, except the non-MC players share control of the lone explorer.

The hook is the you're an urban explorer in an abandoned mansion, and inside that mansion are ghosts that want to murder you.

It's available on @lumpley's Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/lumpley/posts), and it's a delight.

It's absolutely not experienced as an attempt to "understand the Jewish roots of Christianity" or to "share the good news." It comes across as appropriation, erasure, and replacement. Full stop.

Just as Jews are more than a religious group (we are an ethnos) so too antisemitism is more than anti-Judaism. The #PittsburghShooting wasnt merely an anti-religious hate crime. Jews are murdered for being Jews whether religious or not. Neither atheism nor conversion has saved us

A “messianic synagogue” is a Christian church. The “rabbi” at Pence’s event today is a cosplaying Christian. https://twitter.com/howardmortman/status/1056975276243075072
