Home and in the air conditioning. We peaked too early, but ye gods the temperature and humidity were miserable and we hit a police cordon so the march wasn't going any further.

What a field day for the heat, amirite.

Favorite (all too real) sign so far:

I CAME HERE TO FIGHT FASCISM AND DO RESEARCH
AND I'M ALL OUT OF RESEARCH FUNDS

"Can I take a photo of your sign? My girlfriend really likes the Luddites."

I don't think there's a high enough concentration of #ttrpg players or yinzers here for this to work, but let's give it a shot:

I'm looking for a D&D (or other scifi or fantasy tabletop game) group in #Pittsburgh to join. I currently DM a biweekly game, but I deeply deeply miss just getting to play.

I'm down to play with literally anyone except MAGA types, though I'd prefer a group with mostly experienced players, and I'm willing to play any class. Hit me up!

@CactuarJoe if i'm gonna pay $80 for a AAA game, it damn well better be written top to bottom by human beings.

"The more sophisticated the technology, the more vulnerable it is to primitive attack."

"This is a forbidden object."

"Why?"

"That is a forbidden question."

@CactuarJoe Ah yes, the *other* evergreen XKCD: https://xkcd.com/349/

@CactuarJoe Game company execs two years from now: "Wow, we sold almost nothing at launch, but we sold a FUCKTON when it finally went on sale. What could it mean? "

"It may be irrational of me, but human beings are quite my favorite species."

@CactuarJoe I knew I remembered there being a Garfield strip where he imagined racing in his… tray?… but now that I've found it, I feel that it mostly just proves your point.

There should be a distinct term for the specific instance of the bootstrapping problem where you're outside a shoe store with no shoes and plenty of cash, but the shoe store has a "No shirt, no shoes, no service" sign.

@CactuarJoe i just want a dumb tv

@CactuarJoe Ah, so YOU'RE the guy I dealt with today who got around not being able to add an attachment to his email by converting a wholeass zipped Android project to base64 and sending that text in the body of the email.
