@SketchesbyBoze Not only that, but reading is the cheapest hobby I've ever gotten into thanks to libraries and 2nd hand book stores
There really is no reason to not be reading beyond yourself

If you want to push back against tech’s encroachment into every corner of our lives, you need to be reading books. They’re keen to create a world in which most people are illiterate & addicted to slop, a world without poetry, imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

@AroWrites I'm not sure if it's because I'm dyslexic but I definitely read best on physical books. E-ink I can do okay with, but thanks to libraries and 2nd hand book stores, I don't really need to unless I'm travelling

Being prideful for Pride Month, Day 8:
I've been reading more and going to the library pretty regularly. It's mostly manga, since that's just so easy to pick up and put down, but reading physical books is such a pleasant experience!

Being prideful for Pride Month, Day 7: I've been editing my novel again! I put it down for two years while I focused on the channel, but now I've been going to a writing group and am working towards getting it towards a publishable state

@MTGraveStudio Currently, probably either Conan The Barbarian or H.P. Lovecraft, but I want to get into reading mythology and folklore

@TheBasicExpert1 @The_PunKing I didn't think you were good, sir

@DefeatedIn @The_PunKing Again, these are the bare essentials. Get the hell out of the hobby if you refuse to do the bare essentials. This hobby isn't for you. Go play a video game (this isn't directed at you; I'm using "you" in a general sense).

The thing in my head all day is that uing random tables is prep.
People love them, and I know folks who put a lot of time into getting great random tables.
My favorite open world style is even lower prep than assembling and following random tables.
So there really is a difference between low prep and no prep.
Both are great!

Gee. If only a certain group of individuals had been talking about this for years! In all seriousness, I'm glad to see this method of gaming get a spotlight. I wonder if the haters were as nasty with her as they were with me and others who advocate for this though.

@justnyxs This ain't gameplay, but this is what God of War has been like since the PS2
If you agree that this looks crap, just admit that this franchise isn't for you and it never has been

I wish the hardcore scene would worry more about the sexual predators that pull up to their shows and less about some idiot in a banana costume.

The "no roll needed" discussion is so utterly ridiculous. Pure ragebait, with far too many people giving attention to something/someone who doesn't matter.
Every GM should run the best game for *their* table, with the tools and methods best suited for their players.

@TheBasicExpert1 @The_PunKing Reading the rules
Having useful resources on hand and curating them in advance
Engaging in inspiring media
Is all technically prep
"No prep," I just see as a catchy name to make it quick and easy to describe what you are talking about
English
@The_PunKing This is a common argument I get all the time. Things like reading the rules are often cited as prep. That's a given to me. The bare minimum to be in this hobby. I personally don't think rolling on a table to make something up on the fly is prep though.

@Alykkat What makes a console worth buying other another?
For most people, it's the exclusives
No exclusives and there's no competition
No exclusives and there's even more slop

@kenjisbestie I'm at about the halfway point. Took a little longer to get into it than previous Expanse books, but I think that's been more me than the book itself.
Yesterday, I sat down with it for about 100 pages, and I'm locked back in

What’s that book you're ready to defend and argue over forever?

@Varzenox Just got to your local library and find something that interests you
You might want to try and make sure it's written in a style that's a bit simpler and about 100 - 200 pages so that you can get a few easy wins
