You seem to be handling this in a really caustic way. Maybe take some time to self-reflect and come back in two weeks? You may be able to get unbanned if you chill a bit.

This article fails to address one of the main causes I see people list for not having kids. It's, "Is it okay for me to bring a kid into a world this fucked up?"

A lot of young people are deeply certain that they're going to have to live through an ecological collapse and climate disasters. Why would they want to have a child, and be constantly faced with the fact that their kid is going to have a worse life than them. That their grandkids may not know what seasons were like?

It's also so ridiculously expensive now. It's not worth it.

I'm also using Syncthing to sync up my notes between my laptop and phone. It's been great! Less Google doc use.

I enjoy the way this game plays with dice- it's nice to see a designer who's thinking about them as physical objects and trying out novel ways of employing them.

Over-all, I think this game is very cute- I like the way wounds/stress is represented and I think the variable dice sizes are fun. They put me in the mind of the Devil City and it's 77 Vicious Princes. While I admire the creative and thoughtful exploration of dice as a tool, I do feel like this project seems a bit aimless. It think as a project it feels more like a personal thought experiment than a game, not because of a lack of complexity, but because of an unclear intention.

I would be pleased to see other things they make, because I think their ideas show promise.
