Aqualith Media is pioneering self-sovereignty within the tabletop RPG hobby and adjacent nerdery.

Overwhelmed by the deluge of cyclical TTRPG chats? The Aqualith Consortium on @mewe may be more to your taste. It is the central discussion hub for Aqualith Media as a business, publishing imprint for a micro setting, and its adjacent nerdery. 🫧 Head downstream⬇️

@LloydLegalist I have one almost just like it in my basement needing a good home. If you are in the Twin Cities and wanna make a serious offer, DMs are open.

A few weeks ago @Brave released a paid, minimalist version of their web browser… and I think this was a fantastic move.

Developing a piece of software like Brave takes a lot of resources. And, realistically, there are two key ways to fund that work:

1) Build revenue generating features (services, advertising, etc.) into the software or…

2) Make the software a traditional paid product (which removes the need for those revenue generating features).

What Brave has done here is give users the choice. And choice is good.

Want a free browser with a bunch of extras (which you may or may not want)? It’s right there.

Want to pay for a streamlined, minimalist web browser without all of those features? Boom. You can do that too.

Bonus: Linux users get the paid “Brave Origin” version for free. Though I’m inclined to pick up a copy anyway… both to support the work Brave is doing, and to get an Android version of Brave Origin.

@AmazonMGMStudio Secretly, I suspect the social media team baited this ratio.

iPhone users take note.

This app is amazing: it's free and open source, and shows you just how invasive the apps on your phone can be, and how much information they get about you without you realizing, fingerprinting everything you do.

We need more research like this 💛
Well done, @mysk_co

Ok old school D&D fans, wanna see how “Grognard’ you really are 😜? Take my test

@NarutoVibe Neji. Though as a fan, I think him surviving the Retrieval Arc was a mistake on Kishi's part. His story arc was resolved and would of made Hinata's arc thru the Shippudden era all the more interesting. She was largely sidelined until Pain.

@ver_gillo Plot no Jutsu!

[GOG.COM @GOGcom]

The legendary Mana series is coming to GOG for the very first time!

Trials of Mana (-70%)
Legend of Mana (-60%)

To celebrate, we’re also launching the first-ever Square Enix JRPG Sale on GOG, featuring discounts on beloved FINAL FANTASY and SaGa titles!

It’s the perfect time to revisit JRPG history DRM-free.

@brave One easy way to improve: never use the font Papyrus again!

Or do, just to spite me :D

Everything else is good though!

@BrianNiemeier @CultureCrave Movies aren't what everyone wants though. I'd rather play out my own stories with my friends and family, not beholden to a couple films.
