unironically this has genuinely worked on me multiple times in the past. The moment you feel the streak break, the moment you feel like it doesn't matter anymore, and the moment you genuinely ask yourself, "would it even be worth it to play knowing you don't have that incentive?" it's liberating.

Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays. Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons. @nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her: pathikablog.com/2025/04/26/h...

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

It really needs to be pointed out how every one of these embarrassing statements is made by a c-suite executive and not an artist or even art department lead

lowkey one of the worst aspects of genAI being shoved into things is that I am constantly sceptical when presented with unknown art and artists. 'can I like this, or is it literally made of art theft?'

Rebecca Heineman doesn't have much time left. If you can, please donate for her and her family to make end of life arrangements. One last kindness we can offer for a legend of the games industry and loud and proud trans woman: www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...

thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication

I keep getting glimpses of people I know playing modern-day COD and every single gun looks like it's been sneezed on with radioactive snot... why?

Rebecca Heineman @burgerbecky.bsky.social needs to be transfered by helicopter to a medical center where they can better treat her cancer, which means her gofundme needs $20k more. please give to support this trans game dev elder if you can!

can no longer say "mommy" in kink without first prefacing it with "step on me"

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

I hate when that happens

great new picture to reply to AI bullshit with

da joker

It seems like her heart is catching up to her... she's had a murmur and a leaky valve for years, she's full of fluid, and all the scans to confirm might only lead to a possible treatment that only gets a few months. I think I have to let her go soon...

every time I see a post showing arc rader I keep thinking I'm looking at pubg. I literally have no idea what the game is even about and judging from the whole AI discussion around it probably will just keep it that way but it's wild how so many games just like don't seem to have any visual identity.

Hi for any other Seattle locals who voted this time, please please go check if your ballot was signature challenged and cure it. This mayoral election might be a hundred vote margin, it’s that close and your 5min effort could make the difference. www.thestranger.com/news/2025/11...

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

oh... apparently my account is not tied to the original purchase I made of manga studio. 4 from a decade ago... I literally don't even know how I would authenticate that at this point... a new license will cost over $200...

so update on my clip studio issues, looks like NONE of my materials are showing up in the menus for some weird reason. it's just totally borked despite them apparently being totally present... I'm guessing I'm gonna need to do a clean reinstall of the software to maybe fix this which will SUUUUUUUCK

*sigh* okay, looks like that windows glitch from a while ago got rid of my fishnet brushes... and I can't find them saved anywhere... great...

genuinely an insane amount of work but I have to admit it turned out reeeeally good...

I just made meatballs for the first time and my fucking back IS IN SO MUCH PAIN

A real thing that happened to me

Brought up on slack, what made you upload your first model? @ldraptor.bsky.social did a model reference for me for practice during the pandemic, and upon seeing it I was like "wow neat! Wish I could model. Guess I'll try it?" and ended up learning to model from scratch. Come a long way since then!

you ever just sit there and come to the realization that spaghetti will fix you?

Make sure you contact your reps and demand they not cave! www.congress.gov/members/find...

because SNAP is cut off, i am in a bit of a bind as i make my move into my new place. while the move itself is totally secure, my food budget is significantly more dire. anything you give helps, both for now and for when i get moved in this month. thanks and god bless ❤️‍🔥🖤💜 gofund.me/03eaeacb6

Nov. 4th is proof that you (yes, 🫵YOU) can make good things happen, and there's plenty left to make happen! Paypros are still censoring the internet, but their conservative overlords are on the backfoot now, so let's strike while the iron's hot! #SaveSpeech yellat.money stop-paypros.neocities.org

I SWEAR IMMA FINISH THIS SOON GAAAH

what if the dinosaurs... were transgender...

Really want to do a tribute piece of this. In 1982 Hungarian artist Agnes Denes planted a 2-acre wheatfield on the Battery Park landfill in Manhattan. Two blocks from Wall Street and the World Trade Centre. The crop was harvested on August 16 and yielded over 1000 pounds of healthy wheat.

I've always loved this anecdote from Mira Nair, filmmaker and mother of Zohran Mamdani, about pitching a studio exec on MISSISSIPPI MASALA (1991) and being told he'd only fund it if it had more white people "I said, 'Well, all the waiters in this film will be white. Of that, I can promise you.'"
