I like to collect and occasionally play fun, quirky and rules-lite RPGs. I thought I might share some that I've enjoyed reading or playing over the years with this community. I've linked my Google drive collection here. Hopefully this can be a good resource for people looking to play in this community or elsewhere!

Some of my favorites include:
Honey Heist
Lasers and Feelings
Pride and Extreme Prejudice
Adventure Skeletons

I'd love to hear some recommendations for any that I should add!

Fellas, is it woke to plant trees?

I was forced to get a new phone when my last one recently died, and I'm unable to restore my Sync Ultra subscription. I checked the Google play store and it's active until August, but when I try to restore purchases on both of the accounts I use, Sync tells me that it can't find the purchase. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've tried reaching out to the dev.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone else feel like technology - specifically consumer tech - kinda peaked over a decade ago? I'm 37, and I remember being awed between like 2011 and 2014 with phones, voice assistants, smart home devices, and what websites were capable of. Now it seems like much of this stuff either hasn't improved all that much, or is straight up worse than it used to be. Am I crazy? Have I just been out of the market for this stuff for too long?

Lots of people are feeling hopeless and upset right now, and for good reason. It's normal to feel like no matter what you do, things are going to get much worse for a lot of people. Blame, despair and anger are natural reactions, but as the shock of the situation dulls, what's your plan going forward?

Call me naive, but seeing hate have a resurgence makes me want to do more to help the people that are going to suffer the most. I'm going to make a plan to volunteer more of my time and resources to help organizations that need it. I'm going to see if my friends can organize with me to sponsor a migrant family. I may not be able to do much, but my personal way of coping with shitty situations is to try to make the world a little less shitty.

I'm going to try to be kinder and more forgiving with people, and be a better role model for my kids. And I'm going to resist and fight back against hate when I see it.

Lastly, I'm going to be a more supportive friend to the people in my life. And to anyone reading this that feels like this world's gone insane, and you're all alone: you're not. We're still in this together, and I appreciate everything you're doing.
