I expect to spend less time here and more time on other social platforms.

You can find me on bluesky, threads, and occasionally instagram with the same handle: JoshuaMSimons

You can also follow my TTRPG publishing company on those sites with the handle: BrokenDoorGames

@jamesjhaeck Incredibly relatable (also welcome to your 30s). Hope you celebrate the occasion well!

[Josh Simons @JoshuaMSimons]

@drantbradley That's a cool program! I'm glad to see so many players take advantage of it.

As if we weren't already in a pay to win society

[Matt Binder @MattBinder]

call me crazy but being a absurdly wealthy shouldn’t give you VIP access to the government

[Josh Simons @JoshuaMSimons]

@DataDaveTV Agreed. Or at the very least, make it a separate type of match than quick matches.

@GenelJumalon LET'S GOOOO!

Oops I've been thinking about running from the police and death thanks to the recent news cycle and wrote a game about it. It's free to play on itch.

Be Warned: It's kind of heavy and might make you contemplate your own mortality and ethics.

@ThatNerdGurl_ As you start to work on this, I'm happy to chat about what goes into it as someone who has produced a few APs with varying budgets.

@avalonpenrose what do you mean, this is still twitter, just shittier

"Why die for Ukraine? It is not worth risking World War III and nuclear armageddon. Just give Russia everything they want."

Cowards in America right now are repeating history without even knowing it. "Why die for Danzig" or "Why die for Poland" is the slogan that fascist sympathizers repeated over and over after Hitler invaded Poland to start World War II.

Dictators do not give democracies a choice sometimes. It sucks but appeasing the Russians today will just make them stronger by the time they invade the next country on their list.

Stopping the Russians today in Ukraine is the best option that will save the most lives and PREVENT World War III. Ukraine holding is the only thing preventing World War III right now.

@jeffsexton @drantbradley The heart of my reasons is that this platform is becoming less and less appealing to use. Musk's changes are actively disincentivizing people from staying here.

Actions have consequences and if a business chooses to make their product less appealing, people will stop using it.

[Josh Simons @JoshuaMSimons]

@jeffsexton @drantbradley Re: AI scrapers. Sure, there may be individuals scraping content over there, but here, the platform itself is using all content for AI training purposes with no opt out option.

Why would I post anything original or proprietary here when I know X will use it without a license?

[Josh Simons @JoshuaMSimons]

@drantbradley Happy to talk with you more if you want.

You've got my number, we can chat college football and politics whenever you'd like. But those are my (admittedly wordy) two cents. 🙂

[Josh Simons @JoshuaMSimons]

@drantbradley Final thought:
I believe tolerance is a social contract. If everyone agrees to abide by it, we're all covered by it.

However, if someone operates in bad faith under that contract, they're no longer covered by it.

IE. the "fuck your feelings" crowd loses the right to tolerance.
