@rascal_news Thanks! I really out to check Twitter often enough to see when I’ve been linked!

(Yes, I am still calling it Twitter because I am stubborn)

As we enter Aries Season--the perfect time for new beginnings--we launch our newest column; TTRPG Horoscopes. Check out these six indie games that have been painstakingly picked for all the headstrong, bold, and often dramatic, type A-Aries.

@seanmccoy Hey, this whole thing turned out to be a big help for me in a really rough year. Thanks for kicking it off. https://t.co/InTlnkZA5G

BlueSky sure is livelier now that the guy in charge here finally got around to destroying Twitter. (I’m at https://t.co/YsLs9SXNY7)

@caudelac I can’t stop laughing at “Donald John Gargamel Trump”

Today I've released a playtest version of BRUTALIST. It's based on 24XX by @JasonT and takes inspiration from Cassette Futurism and Brutalist Architecture.

#ThanksCamBanks for being a kind and patient guy, modeling how to act with empathy (on the internet, even!), standing up to bullies and supporting their victims, and doing terrifically thoughtful and interesting work in games, year after year. @boymonster

[Jason Tocci @JasonT]

@boymonster Which is to say: What you’re asking is not usually an impediment to me, as I don’t really try to run/teach games that complex anymore. (And Cortex, for instance, is in my safe zone.)

[Jason Tocci @JasonT]

@boymonster I only have trouble if it’s a LOT of new terms, they’re nonintuitive, AND the rules are pretty involved overall. Like, a game with primary character statistics & derived statistics, but it’s not clear from the names which is which.

[Jason Tocci @JasonT]

@pangalactic Yeah, the side effects on Concerta are rough. As for Elvanse/Vyvanse, I gradually felt less impact & so gradually increased dosage until it got to feeling like I mentioned before (which is pretty good!).

[Jason Tocci @JasonT]

@pangalactic Thanks for sharing your experience! Makes me think I should talk to my doctor about taking a day off from this med from time to time. It was GREAT when I first started, and again when I got back on it after the pharmacy ran out for a few days. But I hope it STAYS great for you!

[Jason Tocci @JasonT]

@pangalactic Oh, hah, it’s the same thing. 😂

[Jason Tocci @JasonT]

@pangalactic Sounds like time for me to search for comparisons to Vyvanse, which I’m finding … okay. Better than nothing! But “life changing” sure is an endorsement.

[Jason Tocci @JasonT]

@BookDollar Okay wow, uh, wow.

I better take this to email.

[Jason Tocci @JasonT]

I don’t miss Twitter, but I do miss folks I previously mostly checked in on through Twitter.

[Jason Tocci @JasonT]

@retconning Ugh, sorry to hear about this. Hope you are doing okay, all things considered.

[Jason Tocci @JasonT]

I check Twitter infrequently enough that I’m 5 days late to learn the company blocked 3rd party apps’ access without warning, dishonestly claiming this enforces “long-standing” rules about API use.

I miss some people I only “see” on Twitter, but I don’t miss Twitter.

@RealVinnyEmini @CurtisG_UF @FlacoMako @tradeservo @I_Am_The_ICT I’m going to mute this thread that I can’t make heads or tails of, but I’ll chime in briefly to confirm that screen shot was NOT from a conversation with me. Thanks!
