the only benefit to those Boston Dynamics-style quadrupedal robots is that at some point in the future a YouTuber is going to get one and make a video called "I Lived As A Centaur For a Week and This is What I Learned"

basically the only thing keeping me on windows is Scrivener

don't know how to feel about the latest @morecivilized.bsky.social episode about RotS and hearing about Sora Bulq and Jabiim and yes, I do know who and what those proper nouns are -- Sora Bulq was the purported "Second Sith" that Quinlan Vos fought as part of his Republic comic book line

ICE should be abolished against a wall in groups of ten

with venezuelan oil the US will be able to build the best steamers in the atlantic! Telegram lines from coast to coast. perhaps, one day, be able to take to the skies themselves

Most people resort to therapy. But you chose the brave option. 🔨 Virtue and a Sledgehammer 🔨 WISHLIST NOW!

sometimes when I'm feeling down I go on the cohost archive to re-listen to Love Honk

The Blowjob

working on the edit of Acolyte (though I'm thinking that Acolyte of the Pleasure Goddess could be the series title, and there's a better title for this novel) and even tho I did a little cheating with the Courier New font and double-spacing I was still surprised to see it clock in Word at 523 pages

Here's a closer look at one of the items in @drivethrurpg.com's Black Friday sale, the first ARTESIA graphic novel. First published in 1999 by Sirius, then later by me via my first company, Archaia. Still available through DriveThru in pdf (on sale!) and POD formats under the Aegis & Gorgon banner.

developing an eye for AI art also unintentionally gave me an eye for noticing when an artist relied too heavily on the posable 3D models in Clip Studio Paint

underrated part of this Lets Play is how its also a lecture in "How to Role Play a Character"

I keep buying all these Crusader Kings DLCs and I just keep making zoroastrian adventurers

Version 0.5 is now out of early access and has been uploaded to itch. floppystack.itch.io/hard-stuck

played Hard Stuck by @floppystack.bsky.social for a few hours yesterday -- great game that I think really improves on the adult dungeon crawler format, and the conceit of slapping porn (really well made porn) on top of Rogue is a stroke of genius. Really looking forward to where the game goes

I think adult games should invent excuses to put horny loading screens in them, even if they are not technically necessary

this reminds me of this cool class I took in undergrad, "Magic and Witchcraft in Ancient Greece and Rome" where at the end of the semester we made protective amulets. Fun class! Definitely influenced how I wrote fantasy. But for me the most memorable moment wasn't related to Greece or Rome at all--

I simply *cannot* get the Eggbug ending to Unfair Flips. I've beaten the game like ten times now and it hasn't come up yet 😭

hearing a dem candidate has a nazi tattoo: now is not the time for bipartisanship 😠

I had a job interview last week for a contract position, I have an interview for a full time job on Tuesday, plus another application for a non-profit writer position that's in a second stage. this is the most balls I've had in the air in the last two years. Might everything be coming up Milhouse?

I think I'm very close to finishing up a hobby project that has dominated every day of my life since like... mid-April, which will bode very well for the conclusion of Acolyte, which I've been slowly picking at in my very limited time between job apps, RPG campaigns, personal essays, game design etc

there should be a device where if the President of the United States ever refers to themselves as anything even remotely adjacent to being a monarch their head just detonates instantly like in, uh, Kingsman. congratulations on your new office, now let me insert The Device into your neck, sir

had a dream that for dropout's new Make Some Noise seaaon they "shifted gears" and exclusively filmed videos on the autumnal, leaf-strewn cul-de-sacs of middle class Connecticut suburbs

tried to watch the first episode of the new season of Critical Role, pretty much out of curiosity, and man, I just can't do it. The cast is too big and they're constantly in Acting Mode in a way that I find so tedious.

ugghhhh I need to set up my website but I can't justify buying a new domain and everything right now... if this site becomes unusable I'll eventually link to a site on my Literotica profile

I do think that we'll see a brand shift where corporations start to "put humans first" as AI becomes more and more poisonous

getting myself in the mindset for Unfair Flips www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Tf...

I've seen comments from artists, filmmakers, etc. whose work is within the erotic distance themselves from the pornographic by implying or saying that titillation is not the point of the work. meanwhile, I think being turned on to the point of masturbation is a perfectly acceptable reaction to art

I see posts from researchers like "I use AI to help me summarize papers, so I don't have to spend all day reading journals" and personally I would prefer science to be done by people who don't fail at the basic hurdle of "being able to read"

The tech industry hates consent. It's disobedience. It's built into the UIs. "Yes," or "ask me later." You can't describe "no" in your art, and they don'tet you click "no." A deregulated industry treating society as a casting couch. They ally with the religious right for a reason.

still can't get over the fact that a Friends at the Table NPC came to life and appeared on the premiere of Dropout's Crowd Control

not convinced there was a shooter to be honest, its possible that if you're that big of a bigot sometimes your neck will just explode

just searched "THX 1138 dick sucking machine" and was somehow surprised when the only results were porn

really broke right now so I wasn't sure if I could get Tome 3, but IRO has been so important to me since I started reading it, uh, 9 years ago? I remember reading it in my freshman dorm room in 2016 when it was published by "Rupert Everton," and I really feel like I've grown alongside it

I borrowed ESSENTIAL X-MEN vol. 5 from the library today and was immediately confronted with this set of panels. Hoping to get a lot of use outta these in the future

every time fireworks go off in my neighborhood without a holiday (like right now) I scramble to see if he's dead yet

i keep thinking about the guy who got his head pulled off by the Alpha in 28 Years Later and how for a microsecond it probably felt really good for his neck

i enjoy making things. i can't imagine wanting to have made something without, like, actual sweat poured over it often lol. the process is what art is, the end result is just nice to have

the model at life drawing tonight had cat ears on and true to form one of her first poses was showing her whole asshole

why just this morning I was toting something, but it wasn't IN anything, so no matter how I tried to tote it it fell all over the place!

Friend just sent me this

making a long thread demanding itch explain why each of a dozen games is deindexed is fucking bananas. they said early on that they deindexed everything and would have to sift through it all "why is THIS game deindexed when it has NO explicit content?" it's tagged 'mature', what are we doing here

i wonder if flirty asexuals are better at it than allo folks because they're purely in it for the love of the game

Once again: If your Theory Of Porn/Kink Bad doesn't have a good explanation for why every form of sexual abuse has remained on a slow to moderate downward trend over the past 20 years in parallel to access to transgressive material becoming universal, you're gibbering puritan.

I've thought about this headline every time I get sleepy for the last eight years, like "damn, I bet that would work" theonion.com/starbucks-un...

cohost being gleefully eviscerated and now itch as well – single digit teams are going to make mistakes. they should receive feedback when they do, but treating them like faceless corporations will ensure that only the faceless corporations will stick around to provide these services.
