Hey! I'm releasing a WIP version of the cat I've been working on. It's free to get until the end of the year. It's for use in Blender. It probably doesn't export well. Also, it's my first time releasing a complex 3D thing, so if you run into any issues, do let me know! Merry Crisis 🎁

Friendly neighborhood biologist here again. I’ve been seeing lots of post on how simple biological sex is. Since sex in society is such a hot-button issue these days, we should be able to find the basis of biological sex in law, right? Let’s do it! Let’s find the basis of sex, round 2! 🧵

tactical breach wizards is one of the funniest games i've ever played, and it has real heart. the tale of a navy seer and his stormwitch friend trying to stop an awful war, tbw is equal parts tactics puzzle and character study + fighting fascism!

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with. 1. Carimara Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

confirmed i did this with my notion when they first started rolling it out and all they removed all that AI garbage for me! it would have been a hard deactivation if that hadn't been an option because the AI features were so intrusive 💀

Despelote is one of my favorite games of the last few years. Documentarian and personal and unlike anything else I’ve played. Go run around as a little kid trying to make sense of the world in the shadow of the World Cup.

Finding & working with clients (a thread) This is a general approach which should be broadly applicable. Although I’ll primarily be using book covers as an example, this approach should work for TTRPGs, TCGs, games, film, etc. to varying degrees depending on the industry and its needs.

Natee is one of our greatest living artists in my humble opinion, I'm saving up my pennies to one day buy an original. Having such incredible work stolen so brazenly is horrible. Please report any links and support them and their stunning work

This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.
