You must learn to hate the aristocracy as much as it hates you. It changes shape, tosses aside old husks like "divine right of kings" and "bloodlines" and slides right into slick new shells like "meritocracy".

An old drawing I made for December 13th 🐷

The Federalist Era is one of the least understood periods of our history. You've got Quakers and New Englanders leading the charge to abolish slavery, people calling for intermarriage with Native Americans, and Virginia coming within a gnat's eyelash of abolishing slavery.

Happy TDoV, have a pic of Girlmode Ranma hatching from an egg that predates the literal Trans flag

Warner Bros. has announced that #SpeedRacer (2008) will be released in theaters, including IMAX, for the week of April 25, in addition to being remastered in 4K Ultra HD, digitally and on disc, on May 19. 🍿 Read More: bit.ly/4tmZbCG

Same with visual art.

Annoyed it took this long for sites to do stuff like this or just not cover it at all--I was there for the Hogwarts Legacy media blitz--but hey credit where it is due, they ARE doing it now

I feel like my train of thought for a lot of my art is "but what if it was evil" idk what this says about me lol.

There are two different places you can live in America, one is a place where lemons cost a little more than you think they should, and the other is a place where people are handing you lemons trying to get rid of the giant pile of lemons

The gameplay theme is that you will be forced to make important choices with an incomplete understanding of what has happened and what is going to happen and the consequences will feel unpleasant and also this is all of us for all history and will be us forever.

people like to talk about a bag of doritos killing a medieval peasant or whatever, which is pretty rich considering that for most white americans you could've probably killed your great-grandfather by making him shake a black guy's hand

ICE has moved into US airports while the administration tries to gaslight the American public into thinking it’s anyone’s fault but their own. If traveling by plane I recommend taking pictures of your passport (each page filled) before going through TSA. Passport confiscation is a common tactic.

I love this text post so I drew it

The clerks at the local hobby stores all know me on sight by now. Haha

Have been working on a new project for blog discovery. It's now live! Check out rootr.ing! A new small hub and webring for ttrpg blogs. Read about here: elmc.at/rootring-is-...

Announced briefly on @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social's stream... but I'm working with @thewillyboo.bsky.social to bring the Acolyte to Draw Steel. @hellomcdm.bsky.social continues to be one of my favorite companies to work with. I think we're gonna bring Draw Steel players something really special.

It was great talking about Pistolheart, westerns, and my process with @henrydtamble.bsky.social for the Daggerheart Dispatch. There's also some newly revealed art, some process pieces, and pictures of my bookshelf. Give it a read! www.daggerheartdispatch.com/the-cisco-kid/

No notes.

Speaking of RPG kickstarters, this seems like a pretty big misunderstanding of how the current RPG scene works and I can't imagine it's going to be good for this game's long-term visibility when people who might be interested in giving it a try get told "okay first, you have to download the app"

this is the kind of content that ends up getting censored with crackdowns on sex and queer content. people trying to help queer (or straight) homeless kids trying to navigate safe ways to get it on--and they will encounter it either way, just like every kid will

idea: a Venture Bros game where you play as Brock Samson, and its basically the same overall setup as Yakuza. Big serious "world is in danger" main plotline full of intrigue and drama, but tons of subquests where you're forced into absurdly silly scenarios

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now). This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

My childhood unironically

These are in no particular order my games.

Engaging in problematic games can be used for education and empathy, a tool for catharsis, or an indulgence in bigotry. Knowing the difference can be difficult. But we can help each other better if we are willing to talk and listen as opposed to lecture and chide. Be curious, not judgemental.

Spread the word, an ACTUAL replacement for Flash is on the horizon! Go support this project NOW!!!!!!!! bill.newgrounds.com/news/post/16...

Your emotional safety section should include suggestions for getting curious and inviting fellow players to explore heavier topics, instead of just "Don't do this, don't do that, here's the X card, if you're a bigot I hope you [insert violent fantasy here]"

Please, PLEASE, be loud about this topic, Android being open is what makes it useful, you own your phone and you should be able to install apps from wherever you wish to, don't let Google tell you what's allowed on the device you payed for! keepandroidopen.org

modern metal has forgotten the bass, when u hear some old school shit and it just goes DJANG DJANG DJA-DJA-DJA DJANG in the background u know thats the real shit

He's right of course. Employer-linked benefits aren't natural law but a WWII wage-control workaround we never bothered to fix. It's also why Americans are afraid to start businesses or leave bad jobs. We've chained risk-taking to a paycheck.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

Howdy folks! @heartofdaggers.bsky.social and I are hosting a colossus contest. Submit the colossus that you built for your table! The community will vote on their favorite colossi and the winner will receive a Pistolheart Bundle (Vol 1&2) and a Hope and Fear Preorder! heartofdaggers.com/colossus/

and this is why it is so beyond important that we do not take that fucking bait. do not, ever, ever ever go in on this. This business model cannot be rewarded. Do not ever do remote computing. I'm so serious. Do not do it! use a fucking potato computer if you have to! DON'T REMOTE COMPUTE EVER

Fun thing we're gonna find out about copyright law in the age of AI is that without a doubt those laws are there to protect corporations not artists. We will learn artists have no right to art and no right to the money art produces. It's why corporations have devalued art and art labor so much.

Sketch commission for @annatheia.bsky.social 💫 The character design is so unique and amazing — it was an absolute joy to work on this project💞 Thank you so much for trusting me with this work (≧▽≦)💘✨ #commission #украрт #ukrart #art #digitalart #draw #drawing

This is a clean example of, if we are not going to put these people in prison, how to structure fines meaningfully: all profits + 10%. The transactions would be easy to track and profits distinct.

i think that Faggot Games almost winning multiple awards and competitions is my blog doing the gayest thing it could do - failing

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it
