If you have 16 mins to spare, are interested in post-apocalyptic TTRPGs/Cold War/nuclear fear, then you may want to listen to this talk I gave last year at the @appliedgames.bsky.social Future & Reality of Gaming conference in Vienna. Warning: Considerable handwaving.

Happy Easter, everyone!

Remember, when handling animals, do not perform strenuous activities, as your engine smoke is not good for organic life and might stress them out!

A GIF of Dec, a robot ant, sitting in a swivel chair with his legs resting atop a desk. He appears to be sleeping, with his hat covering his eyes, his hands folded atop his abdomen, and a cable coming out of him plugged in the wall behind. One of his secondary limbs occasionally twitches.
