F1RST Wrestling is a treasure. (Mine is actually @mike-eagle.bsky.social , for the record.)

Update:

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

to create is to love

Heya neighbors, I just got my June rent invoice. Wanna help me pay it? That'd be rad.

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Please, my fellow queer creatives. Do not discount every single book you have ever put out to $0.99 or free. Do not cut your commission prices down by 70%. Do not make your album just $1. Do not make your video game $1. I understand the urge. I understand the feeling of doing it "for the cause"

me when the game creator i’m working with said i could go wild with the art

But I get it, sometimes you have to see the thing, to hold it in your hands to have a sense of what it is, so that you know what questions to ask, before you put a piece of yourself into it. So go check out the demo, tell us what you think and what you're curious about. Keep shoveling.

We set the sub tiers to a few different values based on what folks can afford, but all the tiers get access to the same things: weekly updates, stories from Evernight, behind-the-scenes content, and early access to the game as development continues. Every little bit helps.

If you haven't tried the Evernight demo yet you really should. If you haven't followed @cempoaloon.bsky.social yet, you should do that too. If you've heard about what we're up to with this and want to support the work, the best way to do that is with a Patreon sub. www.patreon.com/posts/we-did...

FYI re: the Evernight demo

Sometimes interim solutions are needed, perfect is the enemy of done, and now the Patreon has a new banner.

We have (incredibly biased) opinions about this.

It's heartbreaking that games as a medium remain out of reach for people telling the stories worth telling most. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

Happy fucking FURY ROAD day for all who celebrate.

Here we go, y'all.

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?" Me:

Jason Collins, the NBA's first openly gay player who has served as a global ambassador for the sport, has died from brain cancer, his family said. He was 47 www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

"Do you know," the necromancer says peaceably, laying on a tiled roof looking at the summer stars, full of wine and warm dinner, "why skeletons are thought of as evil?" "What," Janey says cautiously. "Raised ones, you mean? That — that your sort have got to?"

Thank you to everyone who tested Evernight this weekend! Being in my city and then watching the Cavs box the Pistons ears on top of it... omg, perf. Wouldn't it be wild if it was Cavs vs Timberwolves in the first year I moved?

WW2 vets who believed the only good Nazi was a dead one.

There's no way in hell people are going to believe Isaac wasn't created after the announcement but like... oh well I guess? Sometimes the universe just lines up.

Happy Wednesday, neighbors.

I really can't tell you how much better it feels to choose your lane and to go hard there. Focus on one or two things and get some traction there. Keep inviting people to join in. Most will not and some will. Keep going.

more shows need characters who say their own names like they're pokémon

my only big Heated Rivalry opinion is that Remy Nadeue should have come back in season 5 of Shoresy

Everyone in this clip is dead and I'm depressed (even though I only care about half of them).

Me, staring at the "click things that are colder than this birthday cake" captcha: Okay but what if that soup is gazpacho
