@lilithsaintcrow Guild Wars 2 has so many great design elements to encourage cooperative behavior. Some excellent work there.
@shopbot @phildini MYSTIC POP-UP BAR is great fun. A superb genre mash-up and the camerafolk clearly also work on food photography, because the food looks amazing. https://www.netflix.com/title/81264882
@nev Yes. Something else that I had to learn was that โcisโ and โtransโ in this context are abbreviations for โcisgenderโ and โtransgenderโ, so add a space after (e.g. โcis manโ not โcismanโ).
@molly0xfff Itโs a very attractive trait to a cat gentleman!
Did my election research for the California election (local races are for Sunnyvale) and wrote up my notes to save other folks a headache: https://mithriltabby.dreamwidth.org/181214.html
@shaunduke @Princejvstin Just finished Coreyโs LEVIATHAN FALLS and started Kirsteinโs THE STEERSWOMAN.
@jessmahler weightlessbooks.com/ , https://angryrobotbooks.com/ , and https://www.baen.com/ sell DRM-free ebooks (mostly science fiction and fantasy).
@Nezchan I was talking to someone yesterday and describing a particular tome as being like a phone book and added โand I can *use* that simile with you!โ and we both chuckled.
@LAGilman My policy is โI cannot gripe about rain unless the reservoirs are full.โ
@meow_factor@mastodon.online Another person came up with it independently (and asked me for permission to use a picture of mine in the video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgP2N62rz5I&ab_channel=JonSpear
@lilithsaintcrow I spent a couple of hours reading up on the geology of Seattle because I was running a Shadowrun adventure set in the Ork Underground and the sourcebooks never talked about the tunnel construction. My players would never have noticed if I just talked about tunnels, but I wanted to know what *kind* of tunnels!
@autumn You can look in the Following data for users who are part of communities that interest you. For instance, my Following list has a lot of science fiction and fantasy authors from Twitter. (You may need to open it in a new window to get it to load properly.)
@AlanBaxter It was called bridge.joinmastodon.org and they arenโt running it any more. It was probably too much effort to maintain on a shoestring.
@AlanBaxter Itโs a lot like the early days of Twitter where you follow people based on retweets (โboostsโ here) and #FollowFriday posts, or snooping in Following lists. There used to be a web site that matched up Twitter and Mastodon accounts and made it easy to follow people on both places, let me see if I can track that down...
@AlanBaxter Yeah, the multiple servers is a big difference. I have my @mithriltabby@dice.camp account open in a separate tab and use this account for the F&SF world and the other one for blathering about TTRPGs. The Tusky Android client lets you switch between different servers fairly easily. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keylesspalace.tusky
@AlanBaxter It has like two full-time developers supported by a Patreon. Itโs impressive it works as well as it does!
@AlanBaxter Hmmm... I can see https://wandering.shop/users/mithriltabby/following in an incognito window. Try opening it in a new window? Sometimes the web client will fail to load things if you stay in the same window.
