Confessions of a realistic GM
I feel there is a certain arc that you see among tabletop gamers, especially those who get their start with D&D. D&D is, like anyones first RPG, the gateway to a new world, a new mode of expression and imagination. While lots of people enjoy games, some end up enraptured, vibrating at the thought of what they can do and create. So they become a DM and start writing, start doing as much as they can with the game. And they start hitting walls. Some of the walls are from the game the sort of game logic of D&D only tells a limited palette of stories no matter how much the marketing says otherwise. So they try another game. And another game. In most cases, game logic still prevails. Some of the walls, though, are from the other players. Even if the DM wanted to try another game, the players wouldnt necessarily go along with it. And from the perspective of the person who was most excited by the game, it certainly looks like the other players arent taking it seriously enough. The stakes that our aspiring writer sees in their worlds, the other playersdont. So how do they fix this How do they make everything feel serious to everyone at the table How do they make the players feel the way they feelThis story is a familiar one, and I know that because its my story. I was the one who was vibrating out of my chair with excitement at the idea of creating worlds in D&D, and my disenchantment with how D&D actualized those stories led me to Cyberpunk. And when it seemed like the intrigue of the stories wasnt resonating with my players, I tried to make the game more serious, more internally consistent, more realistic. And years later, when I found a literal generation of heartbreakers and retroclones dedicated to making D&D more lethal, making wizards less powerful, and generally making the game more difficult, I finally realized two things. One, there is a nearly universal desire for grounding and meaning among those who tell stories, whether they do so with TTRPGs or something else. And two, for those of us working in the TTRPG medium, making the game grittier is usually the answer to a different question than the one actually being asked. #meta #fedimeta #advice"Consistency may not guarantee success.

Dan Pfeiffer: "In several polls recently, Trump's approval rating on the handling of immigration is underwater (maybe because he is deporting people to foreign gulags without evidence or hearings). It is another reason why Democrats should be making a full-throated case against Trump's authoritarian power grabs on immigration and other issues.

My 18yo cousin is considering a change of major - from HR to .
Does anyone have a degree in or similar If so, three questions!
1) What career did you ultimately end up in

3) If you could redo college, would you get a bio degree again If not, what would you recommend for someone with a passion for science but a dislike of chemistry

Dear Nalgene,

Please advise.
Its that time of year when the big, black carpenter bees are out looking for suitable places to burrow into to make nests. Theres a reason theyre called carpenter bees. And theyre loud, buzzing around looking big, bad and ominous. But YSK, you dont have to worry. They are by nature docile, and very focused on their task at hand, so theyre gonna take their time and look at every nook and cranny. They may even buzz around your head momentarily, but dont be alarmed, theyre just checking you out and will soon fly away. Whatever you do, dont try to swat them away thats one of the few things that might make them aggressive.

You should learn to be resourceful.
It saved me from being again today. If I wasn't well versed in how to protect myself, and use what is available to me, I would have been much worse off.
As sad as it is, the is absolutely brutal to you if you suddenly find yourself in a crisis.
You need to be ready, and know what options are available to you. If you don't and a sudden crisis happens, you'll suffer much more.
Especially with how the US is going now.
Writing Emotional Scenes
I was out in pretty direct sunlight for most of 8 hours yesterday. Wearing a hat with a brim plus sunscreen that wore off part way into the day means I have the weirdest little sunburn on my lower cheeks and chin. It doesn't hurt or feel weird, just a lil pink. I'm higher in melanin than most of my friends. If I get pink from that you will crispify. Always remember your sunblock and (unlike my dumbass) reapply regularly.
Im delighted to announce is joining as one of the (now 10!) part-time partners.
In addition to founding and and being the first investor in , Peter has been involved with many of the most important companies of the last 15 years, both personally and through , and the founders of those companies will generally tell you he has been their best source of . Sam Altman, 2015.
Compare the sign on blog post (Altman) to the tweet (pg as shown).
When you take capital from , then only realise a decade later it wasnt a good idea. At the time when this was announced I thought, Oh shit , dont do it. Then history.
Its the lure of capital. You get covered in the deeds of these shitty founders (Thiel) and you have to back track, knowing it was blood money.
