...holy shit Deadlock.

Trying to raise $250 for medications. I'm on week one of what will be four and I am nigh totally nonfunctional. This is not sustainable for a month of effectively being unable to work. paypal.me/coxendine

Every time I see someone complain that Ramza in #FinalFantasyTactics is "just a Squire," I die a little. Mind you, folks are entitled to their views on the game, and certainly it is a little strange that the protagonist doesn't get all the cool powers some other special characters do.

Doing my level best out here. If you'd like an Indigenous journalist to keep journaling Indigenously, support is appreciated.

One fun fact about me is that the single best tavern name I've ever come up with for a TTRPG is Ales What Cure You.

It's my birthday in less than a week and so if anyone wants to give me some breathing room as we sort out the moving costs for a new roommate - which will keep me from needing so much bloody help going forward - I would appreciate it. ko-fi.com/chezdispense...

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

friend, joking around with me: i'm just saying me, who saw "chill" once and promptly decided it was for cowards: THE SERPENT, DRAPED ABOUT THE ROOTS OF THE TREE, THE BRIGHT AND GLEAMING APPLE SWINGING SOFT O'ER ITS SLOPING BROW, WAS "JUST SAYING," YOU HERETIC!

Overheard in the voice chat: "Nah brother. I'm bad with push ups, pull ups AND sit ups. -A beat.- Bomb as hell at fuck ups, though."

if your a man in your 40s you should have at least one impossible quest that will kill you

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Occasionally I do a pretty good impression of an Indigenous business reporter. Here's what I had in Tribal Business News this week. First up: the Cherokee Nation is emulating a federal tax incentive program to attract investment to its poorest communities.

Dunno if anyone's bored but I think @4allout.bsky.social's profile could use some reports. I don't often engage in encouraging people to report a profile, but the man is actively engaging in bigoted behavior, issuing sexual assault threats and encouraging suicidal behavior, alongside his friends.

Facebook out here like "don't you want to try our dating app?" I am an anxious man large enough to qualify as a local gravitational event you ghoulish thing. Leave me be.

Slightly diminish a game: Exaggerations of P

AAAAHHHHHHHHHH

remember, kids, solipsism is more fun with a friend!

I keep getting these ads to upgrade my desk chair and they're gradually wearing me down

The wonderful thing about wizards Is wizards just get a d6 So slash 'em and whack 'em, Bash 'em and smack 'em, They'll go down with barely a nick!

Alright, there's four days left on the Steam Winter Sale! My big PC Gamer roundup should be live on the last couple days, but in the meantime, here's a thread of stuff that fell JUST short of it. If this work has helped you, any tips via Paypal or Ko-Fi automatically go on more games to research.

Their kind hates ice and fire both, Arisen!

shaw..?

As an agnostic-at-best person who simply has not studied enough to have an opinion on Upstairs Management, I'd really like to experience whatever rapturous disconnect the Xenosaga writers must have had. Good lord.

Four games that defined my 2025

I can't stop thinking of a particular phrase I used in a short story once - about a character furious that people around him kept sacrificing themselves for his wellbeing. The character didn't think his life was worth theirs, and thought of the concept as "buying copper with gold."

#TTRPG BlueSky: So I made a Light-Gun Arcade Game RPG. I'd like to make it an actual (free) product and put it places people could download it. I'd like it to include art. I do not have money for art. I would sooner eat my own right hand than use AI. Where are some stock art, CC repositories?

Oh, we wish you a merry crit-miss We wish you a merry crit-miss We wish you a merry crit-miss On a natural one! Good luck on your roll On the fumble chart, We wish your a merry crit-miss On a natural one!

Alright. Come hell or high water, no more support posts or asks for money. Either I figure it out or I don't. I'm not going to waste whatever little is left in me cringing my way into the dark. I'm going to take what time I have, however much that is, and Make Things.

I remain baffled that the biggest use case for Twitter seems to be "well I like arguing with people." Christ, we're in trouble.

you know i gotta be honest, i think people going "oh well Expedition 33 didn't have any gen AI assets in the final product," and Larian going "it's not being used for any final products and we're not replacing anyone" are not good arguments. it doesn't matter whether or not it makes it to print.

If the body is meant to be a temple, Some nights it becomes very difficult To escape the clasping thought That I have made a grave of mine.

This has become a mild emergency. Reposting a few more times through the week.

Doing my level best to get off the floor. Between having to pay for stolen equipment, renter's insurance being utterly useless, and so on, I'm just - man, I don't have it left in me to keep this up. I need to go just a couple weeks without wondering if I'll see next month.

I just don't know how much I got left in me, man. It never seems to end.

I scratched my way through to this paycheck and, after finishing equipment replacements, now have a grand total of $10 in my account. Gotta raise $600 to cover what was spent so that I could continue doing my work. $0/$600 If you're tired of seeing me ask for money, I'm tired too. I promise.

I think the conversation should definitely be had about what we're calling "indie" nowadays in gaming, but good lord, the vitriol aimed at E33 is ridiculous. I'm seeing people writing the game off without having played it. We used to (proverbially) crucify people over that in gaming spaces.

Then I'll hang my boots to rest when I'm impressed So I triple knot 'em and forgot 'em (Uh) His origami dream is beautiful But, man, those wings will never leave the ground Without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down #AesopRock

THE MERCHANT

Octopath Traveler 0 is a wonderfully designed game with a lot of cute little touches on top of a fun battle system, interesting character building, and absolutely gorgeous music, and I am uninstalling it because NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS TO ANYONE IN IT. Oh my *god* what an unpleasant story!

hey my cat's at the vet and it could cost upwards of $800. i haven't gotten a full invoice yet but i will update this when I do. I am also $600 behind on a payment for something else but my cat is more important. i'm terrified in general right now
