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.

Basically nothing matters until you can finish a comic. Doesn't have to be long but I talk to so many people who ask how they can pitch to a publisher and I'm sorry but the abstract idea isn't important. Publishers only want to know if you can do a beginning, middle and end and get it done on time.

I decided to get a jar of old-fashioned hard candies, like grandmas everywhere kept in candy dishes in the old days, to enjoy for the holidays. There was a huge variety of shapes and colors among the candies, which were really fun to look at. The flavors were... www.patreon.com/posts/old-fa...

This has to be top 5: “Mystery Flesh Pit National Park” by @ganzagaming.bsky.social – Imagine being a park ranger in a park that is a massive underground single living organism from space. You try to keep people alive, not get lost in mucosal folds, and make sure everybody gets nice family photos.

When I was 23, I was working in a medical(ish) setting, and I mentioned something about a pine marten in a casual conversation. One of my co-workers interrupted me to tell me that it wasn't a real thing. The entire circle of co-workers agreed that I made it up to fuck around. There's a lesson there.

The premiere of the Murderbot TV series is just around the corner! Reactor spoke with showrunners Chris & Paul Weitz about Sanctuary Moon, David Lynch, and nailing down Murderbot's voice! #murderbot reactormag.com/murderbot-sh...

Charlie is a great writer, a great editor, and someone who gave me a chance and taught me quite a bit. Hire him!

This is absolutely horrifying. Horrifying. Scoop up these great reporters -- more mainstream outlets would benefit from games industry coverage from experts. kotaku.com/polygon-sold...

If you want to sneak in your lore dumps, this is how you do it. One mural at a time.

To AI shills & capitalist institutions, writers are simultaneously not important enough to compensate while alive and so important once dead that their machine-ghosts must be resurrected to continue the work of profit-making. Vile.

New major playtest version of Voidhome using the Cypher System by @montecookgames.com is up, as well as a new adventure as part of the package. Some sections have started to see some editing, but much of it is still fairly raw text. Pre-gen Characters and form-fillable sheets coming soon as well.

It’s me!!

We shrunk the cancer into remission. The bills are still growing. On top of bills I'm still paying off and new ones that show up, I have to come up with funds for port removal surgery, MRIs and colonoscopies to make sure it stays gone, and more. Every $ helps. www.gofundme.com/f/help-owen-...

First session done—and it was a blast! 🚀 I'd forgotten how long space combat takes, but the players were all in—mystery unraveled, a shadowy deal with the Exchange, and a run-in with KoToR-era Mandalorians. 🛡️🔥 So much for a one-shot—in two-shot status! 🎲 #TTRPG #StarWarsSAGA #GameMasterLife

In the Before Time, when my blood was hot, I fought in, assaulted, and defended that castle. ... With foam swords and bean bags, but still.
