Making complexity feel simple. Info problems & tabletop games. Guess it’s time to move on. Trying @[email protected]

Making the jump away, FYI, let's see how this goes. Come find/follow me at https://t.co/ZJoCGIxXfF

Omg @Stillwater_Art why, why did you take the most fantastic visual juxtaposition of style and branding, and turn it into some sort of capitalist reference?? It's like you're saying the kids who used to say nonsense slang have already grown up and sold out!

@halcycat My favorite nonsense beer right now: On Fleek imperial stout

Just because lots of financiers say that a business's only responsibility is to make the biggest profit possible for its shareholders, that's not true. There is no law or rule stating this, and there's a long history of successful businesses doing otherwise. 1

Who’s hiring designers right now? Let's get a thread going below! 👋👇

Scare a designer with a screenshot 👻

@hiltonbedbugs Not beyond what I already mentioned. The hotel sent a cashier's check (no hotel branding) for a fraction of the costs, and Hilton corporate maintained they couldn't do anything about their own hotels.

Roll for Shoes: Build up your character's most basic skills from scratch in this stone soup micro RPG. Our campaign began in medical pods on a smoky spaceship, reprising the con's actual 1am hotel fire drill. #artimmitatinglife #bigbadcon

[Eric Bell @[email protected] @ericthebell]

Illimat: Stark aesthetic of the Decemberists meets obscure occult social game tropes. A surprisingly accessible game with fun flavor quirks. #bigbadcon

Fall of Magic: Tell stories of your journey to the birthplace of magic, with your motley party and the Magus, as magic fades from the world. Gradually unroll the cloth scroll map to follow guides and prompts towards your destination. #bigbadcon

Dungeons Date Dragons: Our mix of ancient European vampire town, crystal caves, and suburban gated hellscape mix it up romantically with an insecure green dragon, a bronze wannabe, and a rainbow imposter to find draco-dungeon bliss. By @danielzklein #playtest #bigbadcon

[Eric Bell @[email protected] @ericthebell]

Dialect: As con artists in a steel town, we work the front row, aspire to become stage hands, root out under-the-weather members, & hope the big job doesn't go Glaswegian. Until our cabal & culture get tragically absorbed into those middle school mobsters. #revisiting #bigbadcon

Mr. Face (がんめんマン): Craft facial expressions and guess or bluff your way to victory. Dixit for emoji. #bigbadcon

Favorite solo RPGs. GO!

Speaking of bandwidth and reducing noise, disabling content I don't follow could be a checkbox. #darkpattern https://t.co/ahE7XJmE0T

[Eric Bell @[email protected] @ericthebell]

In theory there's so much discussion I care about here, but it's so exhausting to compartmentalize the firehose.

[Eric Bell @[email protected] @ericthebell]

Like, tell me when Twitter & FB enable tools to bulk organize my connections (let's start with "see people not in a list"), I just don't have the bandwidth.

@HiltonHotels The hotel in question subsequently doubled down on the gaslighting (see health inspector report, above), and continues to insist that our bites and bedbug photos...didn't happen? #Hilton #HamptonInn #bedbugs

[Eric Bell @[email protected] @ericthebell]

Learned a lot this week about bedbugs & hotels. That bites can take a few days to start appearing. That it's standard practice for hotels to cover up bedbug incidents, then gaslight their guests who are in the midst of dealing with a travel nightmare. #Hilton #HamptonInn #bedbugs

[Eric Bell @[email protected] @ericthebell]

@HiltonHotels DM exchange TL;DR: Hilton corporate office, while striking an empathetic tone, washes its hands of any bad behavior of its individual hotels, which are responsible for dealing with their own problems as if they aren't part of its global brand reputation.
