When my viewers recommended I listen to this, there was no way I couldn't do my own version The Sword & Board presents: Three Kobolds in a Trench Coat youtu.be/U0SGSW0DkEE

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Oh also I just realized it's been a while since I've shared raw versions of the graphics I make for Monster Hunter Ecology, so here's a few from the Barioth episode!

GAMES CREATORS SUPPORT ARCHIVAL AND PRESERVATION EFFORTS - INCLUDING ASSETS SAVED BY PIRACY

I was next to (one of) the AI slop booths at DragonCon and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. So, as you may or may not know, there was a booth selling AI slop images printed on acrylic panels at DragonCon. They were in booth a-10. I was in a-11. Here’s what happened from my perspective.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

inspired by @vvangore's (on twitter) piece 💕 #pixelart

Media outlets seem to have soured on the AI hype machine.

Hey did anyone have " @sonicmega.bsky.social voicing Bubsy in a brand new actual Bubsy game" on their 2025 bingo card?

I like to think this is the kinda jacket he’d vibe with in 64 #starfox

Ok, so, bit of Daggerheart nerdery - Damage in Daggerheart is really interesting. At core, the "hit points" genuine feel like they are roughly the number of times you can get hit. They're a small number (5-10) and a given attack is going to do 1-3 hit points of damage. Simple, right? Well....

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

This is exactly what the internet is for.

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

I understand now, Dragon... the true pain of being forgotten. It's not just ego... it's pain, isn't it? It's the sorrow and the suffering. It can't all just be for nothing. Years of torment and suffering and healing and bleeding and bandages. And not even your name survives?

For anyone who thinks I'm joking here (and it's funny, but no) rumor is that the National Guard deployed in LA was sent under a 29 day order to avoid housing allowances, which means they have to fully pay for their own shelter. In LA. Zero notice. Durable fascisms don't shortchange the muscle.

I wish I was special enough to be talented

Pushed to the brink and I let people fall because I need to use both hands and they're too heavy for me to hold onto

In the 90s, I genuinely thought the Internet would cure loneliness. But it turns out that for me anyway the Internet addresses loneliness the way alcohol addresses anxiety.

I've never felt more like my life was going to end in a week. I'm so scared of being that unlucky one in the plane that crashes into another because of this bullshit FAA and air traffic control firings

I wish I was somebody that made enough money to be safe
