When I’m in charge of the planet, it will be illegal to make a job posting unless you are actively searching for a candidate.

Lean staffing will also be illegal. If you need three people to do a job, you’re hiring four.

You are also either earning an amount or you are not earning that amount. ‘Earn up to 21.50/hr’ no. Either you’re paying 21.50 or you are not paying 21.50. Tell the truth or jail for employer for 1000 years.

If someone asks for 2 years experience for an entry level job paying just above minimum wage, you should be legally permitted to launch them into the fucking sun.

KATABASIS

The first thing you feel after death is water. Rushing, frigid, turbulent water. You’re battered about, dragged across jagged rocks and coarse sand in a river with no top or bottom, no beginning or end. Your continuity of experience shatters from the pain; it’s impossible to tell how long you’ve been here because every moment is ripped away from every other.

KATABASIS is a folkpunk pointcrawl ttrpg about trying to escape the afterlife through force. players are spirits who use manifestations of their emotional baggage as weapons, armor, and tools in order to fight their way through a hostile concrete afterlife. maybe, if you fight your hardest, uncover every secret, and come back from every death, you’ll manage to find a way out.

Your mind breaks, and you’re unable to hold yourself together. Your memories are torn to shreds, leaving you with only disconnected tatters. Your body is ground to dust, but despite it all your heart persists. It sinks deeper into the water, where it slowly petrifies.

i released the first version of KATABASIS three whole years ago, and it’s been sitting in the back of my mind ever since. mechanically and narratively, it was the weirdest thing id done yet, but it also had a load of glaring flaws that’ve been bugging me ever since. recently, ive been hard at work doing a complete overhaul of the game, taking the best ideas and building a wholly new structure for them.

Finally, you wash ashore. Your heart is dragged onto the sand by the waves, where it’s carefully fished out and left to dry. Your mind, finally able to rest, begins to form the idea of a body. Your heart, no longer flesh, begins beating in your spectral chest.

KATABASIS draws on a pretty wild variety of sources. my three main inspirations, what i think of as the core pillars of the game, are the Dark Souls series, The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, and the paintings of Jean-Pierre Ugarte. altogether, we wind up with a view of the afterlife that’s quiet, painful, inhospitable, and yet still teeming with a strange beauty. it’s not what you were promised, and it’s not going to welcome you, but if you do manage to escape it’ll have planted its seeds in your heart. maybe, when this is all over, you’ll even miss it.

You wake up, most of your ordeal forgotten. All you can remember now is the water.

I am very interested in this game, where can I buy it?

I bought this expensive ass yogurt as a gift to myself so that I could make little candles in the tiny terracotta pot it comes in and it turns out it is the best, creamiest, most buttery heavenly delicious yogurt I have ever tasted and I’m now addicted

sometimes things that are expensive are worse but sometimes things that are expensive are astronomically better and that’s where the real problem lies

Omg, I have one of these blue pots! I’ve been using it for years to store bits and bobs in the bathroom! A housemate of mine was a big fan of the yogurt and just amassed a lot of the pots…. But I never knew what the yogurt was!!! Now is the time to get more cute pots all for the low low price of yogurt!

These are all well and good (accurate and informative and also fun) but here’s the best way to tell the difference between the two:

Ravens are FUCKING huge.

The best advice I’ve heard about this is as follows:

If your thought is “wow, is that a Raven??” It’s a crow.

If your thought is “Holy shit is that a CAT?!” It’s a raven.

first time I saw a raven I realised I had never seen a raven in my life ever prior to that moment
