Sometimes you give Dancey the benefit of the doubt because OGL created an industry boom in the '00s. But you have to remember he did it for Machiavellian reasons, and successfully killed any number of young RPG publishers. Late-era capitalism is probably the theme the runs through his history.

I hate the winter months. Anyway! Even small commissions help a lot right now.

I had missed this thread but damn, this is the most everything-must-be-efficent argument I've seen in years. That's a horrible way to think about both art and entertainment.

My dudes. My billionaire pals. The wealth tax is for YOUR well-being, not ours.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Feb 17 EITM: Head of ADF explains their "radical incrementalist" to chip away at GAC in the courts -- "We're willing to take a quarter of the enchilada if we can keep working there"-- so that eventually it becomes illegal for all kids and all adults nationwide.

We're over a quarter of the way funded over on Sleeping Wizards, folks. Calling all cool moms, dads, aunts, uncles, and whoever else might be in a position to snag a kid in their life a cool dungeon-crawling GN: Sleeping Wizards awaits! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

I'd love a proper bluetooth walkman that doesn't eat battery but lacking that, this would probably be cool.

The anti-trans propaganda push is one of the best examples I know of real-world disinformation in action.

Howling Bells' first album in 12 years! (Sadly no bandcamp link so y'all have to search for «Strange Life» in your music service of choice.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-VO...

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Only bad thing about this is that it won't float. The old lego boats could be in the water and that is as ages ago! Even lego technology should have advanced better and not regressed.

Literally - Cass used the fact that children diagnosed as trans enough to be put on puberty blockers continued to be trans as they adolesced, as proof that puberty blockers were a problem. They were hoping more children at the service would stop being trans and looking for a means to make it happen.

So on Friday the 13th there's a new Howling Bells album? I'm going to be insufferable about how y'all need to listen to them. Also Juanita Stein's guitar tone is fantastic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw5z...

it's literally impossible for an LLM to do a historian's job it's not even LLMs sucking it's that they need data input to do anything and where's that data supposed to be coming from without historians never met a computer that can dig through a thousand year old book in a library

Reposting these are one of those things that give me anxiety. But having crap economy also gives anxiety so I have to side on the lesser one. Even the small things really help.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

A quick reminder my Gothic Paris books are re-releasing March 10th and you can preorder them in order to get this exclusive novella! (you can also buy a new UK edition, that would also count).

Clash of the Ascended - art from a card game, currently in development!

Age verification? I accessed the Internet through a dialup modem until my late 20s.

Who else gets an "oh no" emotional spike whenever they see a photo portrait of someone posted on social media? Turned out to be an event announcement but damn, for a moment I thought someone else had died. I think we need more photos to re-normalise non-awfulness.

It's even harder to keep a conversation in IRC for me, and impossible over several days. But the Discord bullshit made me set up a Flarum forum for a friend sphere. (We used to hang out on a phpBB but even if my webvhotel had an install button for that I really don't want to mess with *that*.)

If you're thinking of complying or giving Discord your data, let me share this article from LESS than 6 months ago in which customer IDs were compromised... I would recommend against it tbh... www.theverge.com/news/792032/...

Mornington Crescent: a rant. Or: how a goofy word game about train stations is the key to how devout causes can ruin people's ability to have a conversation. Stand clear of the closing doors, let's begin. 1/18

Have hardly drawn anything lately, especially not for myself. So a faun treat doodle. #art

Artist! Quote with your horn art 🐐

Since vet visits take a big chunk out of savings and those are slim enough as they are, I'm very open for small and large commissions (DM or mail [email protected]) There's also: • www.patreon.com/nicklas • ko-fi.com/nyvinter • nyvinter.carrd.co

Svårt att se hur Wikipedia (som ägs/drivs av en amerikansk ideell stiftelse) skulle kunna fungera på ett vettigt sätt utan Section 230.

And in this case, without Section 230, Big Tech will comply with Heritage Foundation for a bigger share while smaller sites will be sued into oblivion for every small misstep. It will be censored as fuck to appease them and other conservative think tanks.

I get that it's tempting to shout "no war but class war" but intersectionality is needed for lasting change. Seeing how the structures made to keep us down reinforce each another and trick us to go "not my fight" should make this obvious. You really don't want to become like Will Shetterly.

The audience.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

"Learn this, my Soul: two snakes lay coiled around the Great Egg, where the stars of the previous era had been gathered and sealed[...]" A new piece for Ergo Cosmos, an illustrated sci-fi/occult collection of tales, created with the support of my patreons!

it is also true that horny old men are the dumbest fuckers on the planet

Made two campaign pitches set in the same setting and people went "I think I like the straightforwardness of the dragon hunt". Followed by me throwing up a map. While the pitch was more straight forward, we'll have to see what the plot takes us.

Here is a thing: There were several years when I was one of VERY few journalists seriously covering harassment and abuse issues in comics (and by extension sometimes video games). During that time, I became the Person People Told Things To. (cont'd)

Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*. And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology. Don't submit to this one, folks.

I need you to see what is going on on Murdoch Mysteries these days
