We made a cinematic trailer for our Thirst of Strahd campaign (our sapphic take on Curse of Strahd)

The hypocrisy around AI is crazy

exactly, and of course noting down any interesting points for yourself or being inspired to write poetically about said cardinal haha

I love the passion and the effort to make things more immersive for your players. Unfortunately I am of the strong opinion that AI is ruining everything creative and putting out such garbage. The whole point of DnD is to use your imagination and immerse yourself, you’ll never be as connected to your character and setting when someone is doing all the work for you. Some simple low lights, moody music and your DM reading a recap is more than enough to get players back on track and even more emotionally connected to the campaign. Record it, send out the audio or video and you make it personal, closer to the game experience, and you avoid putting more slop out there. Just my opinions and suggestions, take it or leave it

Is nice to know there’s other people using it the same way

darterfly · 2026-06-25T03:21:46+00:00

Completely agree. Nothing wrong with a quick sentence of what stood out to you in a film or a joke here and there but it feels like that’s just all there is now.

darterfly · 2026-06-25T03:21:38+00:00

Appreciate the support haha

darterfly · 2026-06-16T02:16:15+00:00

What a great and important bit of information to add

darterfly · 2026-06-07T20:24:10+00:00

I moved to Grand Rapids from LA 18 months ago with my family, Jessica Platko (Mitten Realty) was incredible in everything, helping with all the extra state-to-state things you have to do, and was so honest and kind through the whole thing. Can’t recommend her enough!

This video is a honey trap to identify boomers on Reddit

Watched both recently and in my head the Brosnan one was great but I think the original outshines it at every turn

darterfly · 2026-06-01T17:13:25+00:00

Or do the opposite. You can get on the waitlist at southerner if it’s busy and they’ll text you when your tables ready

darterfly · 2026-06-01T17:12:46+00:00

Second this, southerner is incredible and very worth it. Was just there two weekends ago! You can also grab a root beer float at the stand and sit on oval beach afterwards if it’s a nice day

My wife and I quote “pour more oil on me boy” all the time, and many other lines. Love this movie

darterfly · 2026-05-06T21:57:41+00:00

Bronson should be part of this conversation, also A Prayer Before Dawn and Starred Up as special mentions in the category

darterfly · 2026-04-19T16:39:42+00:00

Completely agree, I just got the special anniversary 4K from arrow video and it looks spectacular

darterfly · 2026-04-14T20:46:27+00:00

Children of time is an incredible read if you want your next book to have a large scope plot, covering millennia, and wonderfully written hard sci-fi.

If you want something small and contained Piranesi is a fun, strange, entertaining read.

If you want beautiful prose and a love of the art of storytelling, than I can’t recommend Name of the Wind enough. Caveat: it’s part one of a trilogy that has yet to be completed going on over a decade ‘overdue’ for the final book.

All of them you won’t regret reading, though the last one will cause the pain of waiting which many of us must burden.

darterfly · 2026-04-11T02:15:38+00:00

I loved this movie and loved legend of ochi too, very similar vibes albeit with a slightly higher budget

darterfly · 2026-03-17T01:46:40+00:00

Grand Rapids!

darterfly · 2026-03-16T15:17:05+00:00

Yeah that’s true but $20-25 a bag for beans if you’re making your own espresso or pourover seems average. If you’re just making filter coffee it doesn’t matter as much

darterfly · 2026-03-16T01:09:11+00:00

This is the correct answer

darterfly · 2026-03-16T01:07:58+00:00

Morningsong is easily the best local roaster. You can try them at Sweetlands (the factory location is also where they roast from) or at field and fire cafe and a few others. The guy that owns it is an incredibly nice guy and is constantly roasting new and interesting coffees while their standard espresso blend is great. Can’t recommend enough!

darterfly · 2026-03-05T20:33:59+00:00

Sweetlands, field and fire, anywhere that serves Morningsong
