Dungeons & Dragons, stories involving cruelty and slavery 

One of my pandemic hobbies was being D&D 5th Edition DM, though I'm not playing much anymore. I wrote and playtested a book of six adventures, complete with maps and dialog. If you're looking for a free module to play, I would love it if you got some use out of all this work I did. CW, it's a dark story. But even if you don't like the story, most of these adventures can still be run standalone:

one of my favorite new ubiquitous bullshit marketing tropes is when corporations tell you "it's time to <something>". It's time for you to tell me your mobile number. We don't make the rules, this is part of God's plan. We cannot change the way of the universe, we just have to collect your personal information now. It is Ordained.

I don’t understand the attraction of being able to talk to computers using breezy casual conversational language; I’ve been telling these little digital bastards what to do for decades using extremely precise formalised language and they still get it wrong

i'm weird because i don't want a crappy ML bot to write code for me. writing code and figuring out how to make it work is the fun part of my job!

make the bots do meetings instead!

At FC this year I saw about five different close friends who i really wanted to say hi to, give a hug to. i hadn't seen them in years. But even so, I felt like I shouldn't approach, or that it wasn't my place, or that it wouldn't be appreciated, or would they even remember me at this point? So I clammed and hid behind my mask instead, and I really regret it now. Not loving what the pandemic has done to what little social courage I had.
