There is an entire game design culture of people fighting to make functional systems for Freeform Discord RP servers that I’ve become recently fascinated by and never seen anyone talk about

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out. This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

Once again, I really could use the help. All I need is 300 dollars so I can pay off my Cellphone Bill and the internet bill for the month. I have many other things in the process to make income but I really need this by the 22nd before I get cut off. ko-fi.com/walleoruam/g...

404 Media is making a print zine about the surveillance tactics used by ICE, and how people are resisting this tech. Why? Print media is cool. Also, 404 Media has watched ICE grow from an already horrifying organization into a deportation force that is better funded than most militaries.

Getting to this post late, but this episode in particular means a lot to me. I had William Hoffman as my playwrighting professor during my first year in college, right before he passed. Very happy to know him, funny, weird, very encouraging dude. Listen to TWOAPW talk about As Is.

Geese at the Beach, by @radioairhyper.bsky.social, is a No-Dice-No-Masters inspired game that has you all play beach creatures looking for shinies, which you will use to pay tribute to the Goose King. I adore all of the character playbooks offered in this game.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to support indie creators. Not just as a designer, but as a fan. Here’s why I think buying indie TTRPGs makes such a difference (and a special 10% thank-you for the upcoming Small Business Supporting Day!). bit.ly/IndieTTRPGSu...

I'm going to share this again because I think it's one of the better personal essays I've pieced together recently. I'm really proud of how this little recollection horror piece turned out.

Happy Halloween! Been a while since I shared a personal piece. I've been thinking about Marble Hornets a lot recently. So, I wrote something (kind of) about it. justin-joyce.medium.com/nostalgia-ro...

Jacob choose their costumes this year. Happy Halloween! #halloween #chainsawman #reze

Re. RPS freelance, I now have a budget for irregular (maybe 6-12 pieces a year) 2000-3000 wordish, more granular and specific reporting and investigative criticism that broaches a new topic or addresses a gap in knowledge regarding something familiar.

Just got out of Weapons. This movie is a lot of things but as suspected it is kind of about the satanic panic.

Finally set up the account for Last Light City Comics on here. Life's let up, new episodes hopefully very soon. @lastlightpod.bsky.social

Ok so as of now I’m officially finally frfr not freelancing at DToid anymore, which means I am officially out of the game. If you’re expecting me to produce things and post them here, look elsewhere, I don’t make things anymore.

Looking for good article, essay, and book recommendations about The Satanic Panic. Bo specific aspect about it, just any part that someone’s written about in a comprehensive way.

Father's Day. I wrote a big, sad, long piece about the ending of my relationship with my dad in June 2024. Been sitting on it for a year, unsure what to do with something this personal. Decided to just put it out there, to expel it all for good. Happy Pride. justin-joyce.medium.com/remembering-...

I’m clueless about this. Is there any value in switching to something like substack when I know my readership is no one? Like what’s the consensus there?

Patreon is raising the percentage it takes from new creators (again), from 8% to 10%, on August 4. People with existing Patreon pages get grandfathered into the old rate. If you're thinking about making a page, best to do it and publish it now.

I need $150+tax for my phone bill by the end of the month and to actually be able to eat so please consider buying any of these or donate at the link in my bio. I've been jobless for about 4 months now and living out of my car for almost 3 at this point.

The secret (???) is out. If we get 100 new subscribers, we'll put a Final Fantasy political theme issue on the docket. Fight Sephiroth with us: unwinnable.com/subscribe/

Every year I get wrapped up in life and forget to talk about Pride. My queer expression is still this solo rpg I hacked out of plotARMOR, where you play the protagonist of a educational claymation Christian show discovering your identity. Favorite game I've made hypercamera3.itch.io/i-know-my-god

I know my reach ain't far, but I'm still in the process of looking into this. If you've received a weird Private Message sent to an old Fanfiction.net account, I'm curious to see them.

Does anyone still have access to old Fanfiction . net accounts/the emails attached to them? If yes, have you been receiving a ton of bot-scam messages from supposed users offering to make art out of your old fanfic? I'm trying to document all the different ways these messages say the same thing.
