My left butt gave up at 315. New PR. :)

If the comic was originally printed on uncoated paper, it's better when the collection comes out on uncoated paper. The Cyberforce collection came out on glossy and it looks weird as hell. listen to nick. he's correct.

Did anyone else do deadcember??

It’s shocking how much these ai freaks hate existing as a human. We should probably not let people who fundamentally hate being human guide our future. Food for thought.

Warm up sketch

Diablo rules.

This is the first year my son did his own Xmas shopping, and he showed wonderful thoughtfulness and taste on all his gifts. For me, he picked this Lego set in honor of the comic @robotjq.bsky.social & I are making about an arcade. HE'S A GOOD BOY!!!

Image puts their books on GlobalComix which is fine. But they’re in print format which is less fine? If they’re going to release the books on infinite scroll platforms, ask the creators if they want to reformat the books for that platform. I would have reformatted the pages… Oh well. :(

Can we build a version of any economy, monetary, attention, or otherwise, that doesn’t reward complete psychopaths?

This does mean a full sketchbook will likely be for sale in some months full of pencil sketches, inked drawings, and paintings. WHAT A VALUE.

Wife bought me a wonderful sketchbook for Christmas, but I promised myself I’d finish the one I had before moving onto the next one, so it’ll be a minute before I get to draw in it. :(

If you’re anything like me and you have listened to way too much music and it’s hard to find something that tickles your brain in a new way, please let me suggest Henge’s last two albums. It’s so goofy and odd. If you’re a Fartbarf fan at all, you’ll probably enjoy.

The eternal struggle between wanting everyone to have a safe, fun, happy holiday with family, and my desire for a beer and taco lunch at the local spot.

Merry Christmas, here’s a demon lady.

Today, perhaps, we can all be Mongolian. youtu.be/AE2Bsb1e-A8?...

Just heard Lady Gaga’s Santa Claus is Coming to Town for the first time and it whips????

It me

I’m getting nothing but videos of that girl who gets high as fuck, goes to restaurants, gets food, and the reviews consist of “mm… wow..” Lmao

Someone needs to study the phenomenon of billionaires getting brain-broken by social media.

Just watched a transformer explode and burn out and all the power to the local stater brothers shut off???? RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE BEER AND ROLLS, BABY!! CHRISTMAS MIRACLE.

I do not know how he keeps churning out this many fun games BUT JEREMY KEEPS DROPPING THE HITS. SUPPORT FUN GAMES.

I had a really strong emotional reaction to this… and I have zero interest in spending $135,000 on a car.

Distinguished gentleman. He’s under a year old but he looks like an old-ass man lol.

If people want to scam their students, that's fine I guess. But their degrees won't be worth the paper they're printed on. Again, if you're a student relying on chatGPT to do your work, you'll likely to last about 5 months at your job once you graduate because you've made your brain toothpaste.

You will be shocked to learn that we made games without these tools 5 years ago. SHOCKED

re-upping this for anyone that missed it. These things save me *so* much time.

Just wanna throw this out there - Recently watched a talk from an economist who discussed that recent college grads are being fired from their jobs at an alarming rate… usually after 5 months. The reason? AI.

If you want to know how trade policy impacts people - hi! It's me, Bob! Uncertainty in international trade policy forced a publisher to effectively cancel my book. I was in limbo for about 6 months doing fill-ins and little passion projects. But that's a half year of lost wages I won't get back.

Diana.

Getting v old. Used to have the energy to work on weekends. NOPE. Not no more.

Same. I built a 16k follower count on Instagram back when Instagram was still usable for artists all while drawing like dogshit.

Went looking for some nice textures to add some grit to the colors for the book drawing…… and 90% said AI generated. ILL MAKE MY OWN THEN.

Yo. These things rule.

I don't know who the guy who sits in the middle of the lemonade stand show with Atrioc is, but this quote here: "I'd rather have the world where cocaine was legal and social media was banned for everyone." This man gets where I'm at.

got my weird taxes thing settled, and got my first regular paycheck since... it's been way too long. super weird year you guys. rewarded myself by backing a kickstarter. WE'RE BACK, BABY.

An anecdote re: AI give it a watch and chime in

There are a lot of military planes that fly over my house because I live near an airforce base. As a guy that likes planes, this rules RECENTLY, however, there have been a lot more helicopters. When they fly over, I still go to the front door to see them, but I play CCR really loud when they do.

INCREDIBLE UPDATE - BIGCOMPANY MAY GET ME A SINGLE DOCUMENT BEFORE THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SENDS ME TO COLLECTIONS. (not guaranteed of course, but the really nice dude at BigCompany that has been helping me and is a wonderful dude, said it might be fixed)

As someone who can only tell the truth, prepare to absorb some - BG3 was mid if you've ever actually played DND with your friends.

I don’t even know what we’re doing and why we’re doing it anymore. No one is thinking.

It’s also very hard to work when there’s a deadline you didn’t have a choice on dangling over you and the people you need to deliver for you just can’t in a timely manner for whatever reason. My anxiety has been through the roof for WEEKS now.

You can tell a BigCompany™ that you’ve done a ton of work for that you have an emergency and need a document from them asap. But BigCompanyASAP™ is a very special type of urgency that just means you’ll get it when you get it, regardless of consequences you might personally face.

Shart pants

Hey Google - Constant anxiety normal???

Reupping really quickly - anyone???

Comics people — I remember SOMEONE on here saying that they actually had kickstarter and book marketing campaigns that were more successful on bsky than Twitter. Does anyone have data or a thread on that??

I do not know how I feel about this new iPhone OS. Icons feel reminiscent of the original iOS. SEEMS to run faster?? Am I crazy?

I'll be the main character - As someone who actually made content for kids online, kids should be kept the fuck off of social media, and probably off the internet in general. I don't know if KOSA is the answer, but I'd argue that continuing to do what we're doing is worse.
