Most of adult my life I’ve paid 15.3% of everything I earn towards Social Security and Medicare, just like every self-employed person does. It’s a little peace of mind to know this will be there when my hands can no longer play the cello. If republicans fuck with this it’s called theft.

i dont need this to detect vape. I just catch the hint of bubblegum and saffron in the air and I know

I am realizing that white backgrounds on the art makes the white outlines of the text harder to read. So I think the style guide for Lithic Rage art will include "no large amounts of white space". this text is much easier to read.

i.e. "if i were supposed to be doing this, i'd already be better at it"

RPG-Trader.com has launched and I’m hopeful it’ll be successful. A home for indie ttrpgs built specifically for indie ttrpgs and not tacked on as an afterthought? Yes, please! You can find Arrhenius on sale for just $8. That’s, like, only 23.5 pages per buck! rpg-trader.com/creator/136/...

Too many guides exist for video games today. Players lack whimsy and exploration, and often just default to whatever build/equipment is "Top tier".

Chrono Cross is more fun to replay than Chrono Trigger.

"rock star" game developers' games are usually good in spite of them. not because of.

*one third* holy fucking shit

I grew up scrutinizing every one of his often shocking, always strange Sorcery illustrations. From another planet. RIP

"there are two types of game engines: those people complain about and those people don't use."

These ”auteurs” in film and games are showing their actual personality with embracing AI. They would be the only one credited on their works if they could. They arent collaborative artists. Working with other people is an unfortunate inconvenience to them.

Back from vacay and straight to: how much game music costs😤 This is article from 10 YEARS AGO! Elite Composer ~$2000/minute MidTier Composer ~$1000/min Emerging Composer ~$500-$1000/min With inflation mid tier composer is at about 1360$/min in 2026!!

Just taking the opportunity to post a little more John Blanche, because, honesltly - just look at this stuff. Impeccable.

If he can’t be fucked doing his own storyboards maybe he shouldn’t be making films any more

Doing some color tests on how different hues will affect the process of getting turned into black and white for my #tcg. The conclusion is: not much difference in red, blue, and black when a single point light is involved.

You have to support the projects you love with money. I am sorry we do not live in a world where that is not the truth.

Someone at a convention once said to a friend who was working the booth with me that he liked my work but he wasn't going to buy anything because "Chris is successful enough and doesn't need my money". Anyway I'm no longer a full time game designer because I didn't make enough money to live.

I just backed Alarial's Blessing on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/hex...
