Have people in your life who appreciate you and openly tell you.
Be that person in other people's lives.
Everything that's hard is made easier by this.

[SMITH]: That is Elden Ring, sir.

Everything I've ever known about Turkish delight comes from THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE. But Josiah brought some back from Norway the other day, and, yeah, I can see how someone would betray their siblings for this stuff.

3594 - I'm thankful for a fun Cypher one-shot with some folks I don't normally get to play with. I do wish GMing weren't always so nerve-racking for me, but I'm glad I have the resources to do it anyway, because I love the game! #gratitude #TTRPG #CypherSystem

Playing Cypher with my son Isaac.
Me: You get a tranquilizer rifle off the security guard. Mark it as an artifact on your character sheet.
Isaac: Okay. Is there a limit to how many artifacts we can have?
Me: No.
Son: And you said every guard here is armed with one of these?
Me: Oh...... Oh no.

3590 - I'm thankful for yet another realization regarding my anxiety and running TTRPG games. (Today's realization: I'm afraid my players won't like it when I introduce obstacles, but introducing obstacles is literally the GM's job!) #gratitude #TTRPG #CypherSystem

Tbh, good advice regardless of mergers and media consolidations. Support the weird, small art made by real people.
The best way to fight back against the Paramount/Warner Brothers merger is to support independent artists, journalists, writers, filmmakers, musicians and everyone else who has been walking a very hard path to putting things out into the world.
