Anyway, true lossless communication is impossible, connection between human beings is a soap bubble illusion, we live alone and we die alone and even if it were possible for anyone to truly understand anyone else no one would put in the effort. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Feeling about as hollowed-out creatively as I ever have. I can't keep writing exclusively for an audience of the one or two friends who are so voracious and indiscriminate about their media consumption that they'll engage with any shit no matter how raw it is, while the rest of my community refuses.

And instead of anyone responding to the survey, I just get followed by a bunch of accounts that are clearly using bots to hunt for keywords. Brilliant.

Hey Bluesky do you like Gigantic TTRPG Worldbuilding Posts? Do you like Surveys? Do you like Surveys about Gigantic TTRPG Worldbuilding Posts? FF8-inspired setting. Schools train war-mages to summon godlike battle companions. Tell me which school sounds most interesting! forms.gle/m2LBzyR6NzRp...

Well, I guess that's it then. Sony is dead. I will never buy one of their consoles or games again. @sonyplaystation.bsky.social good luck flushing your business down the toilet in your attempt to dissolve the concept of private media ownership.

It's a co-op chill stream of My Time At Sandrock with @gamerstavernshow.com + @desertleviathan.bsky.social ! come hang out for a relaxing and fun time while we try to keep the town alive! www.twitch.tv/redmageroxy

The idea of voluntarily tuning in so a glassy-eyed capitalism homunculus can squat over my face & shotgun his colon full of advertisements directly into my eyeballs, what the actual fuck everyone. We're better than this. We deserve a world where no one degrades themselves by enduring Geoff Keighley.

gofund.me/d143cdc1 my friend Ryan left us late last month, anything anyone can do to help ease the burden of the family of the funeral costs is greatly appreciated. Love you, Ryan.

Here- first teaser. Much more to come…

The Luddites had a great phrase for what they opposed: "Machinery hurtful to commonality." It's an excellent reminder that being a Luddite doesn't mean you hate technology, but that you hate the way capitalists create and use technology to destroy community and human flourishing.

Today's newsletter is about the study Republicans in Utah ordered about trans youth... that they're now ignoring. www.readtpa.com/p/the-study-...

"An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience."

Ever since July when the strike started (and my work at Akupara stopped) I've been floating by on just streaming and convention money. I've put off having to take outside help for as long as possible but my savings have finally run dry and rent is due in a couple weeks. ko-fi.com/senabryer

the Marathon alpha released recently and its environments are covered with assets lifted from poster designs i made in 2017. @bungie.net @marathonthegame.bungie.net

Did some nostalgic fanart for Chrono Trigger! One of the best to ever do it.

Housemate seems to be babysitting his two nephews and I just heard one of them run to the bathroom singing "Burning Foamy Diarrhea" to the tune of the classic Ninja Turtles theme song, so... that kid rules, and I hope whatever is wrong with his poops clears up quickly.

In general I think I just need to prune my social spaces of people who think that having a list of Media they consume is an adequate substitute for having a personality. If all you ever have to talk about is what Brand you're going to shovel money to next, I don't need any more of you in my life.

Boycott these US companies for their complicity in US-Israeli genocide, occupation and apartheid against Palestinians.

extremely shameless doing this during the boycott lmao dont fall for it

Microsoft is a new BDS priority target. Here's why you should #BoycottXbox and pressure your institutions to exclude Microsoft from its contracts.

It's funny, the BDS movement requested a boycott of Microsoft & then the first "major" Microsoft-owned game released was just a remaster of a 19 year old game that's never gone out of availability, but my timeline is still full of people jacking off over it. Pathetic. Time for some un-follows.

If you are having a bad day just think about Nana Visitor reading lines for Major Kira in Doc Martens and a dress

you're gonna wanna see this

Want to see something cool? I ran across a guy who makes custom photos of your FFXIV characters and got my two main characters, Siege and Eris, in a badass battle pose. This was put together by www.tumblr.com/johnnylandsl...

I want this movie to make $0 at the box office. I want everyone involved in this travesty to be taught a lesson. No one wants this. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

In that fun limbo period where Youtube has advanced a step beyond my ad blocker, but that never lasts more than a day or two, and even if it did I would much rather not see ads than use Youtube. There's a long list of "essential" businesses I've cut out of my life, but always room for another.

My friend Roxy needs help making ends meet after suffering a major disruption to her living situation recently. If you've got some spare $ to throw around, consider throwing it her way! And if not, come offer moral support in chat anyway! She runs good chill streams with a great community!

"So you're using your Yoshi Tongue of Telekinetically Controlled Gravy to grapple the Haunted Doll? Roll a Strength (Athletics) check and let's find out what happens when you slurp this thing back into your mouth, I guess." - me to one of my D&D players tonight.

You know what makes me happy? Sharing creative works that I believe to be of exceptional quality. Clown Corps starts strong and only keeps getting stronger. It is smart and funny and a pleasure to look at. Read it!

holy shit, they're in the process of uploading all of farscape officially to YT for free. WATCH THIS SHOW, it's bonkers and fantastic!! I cannot emphasise enough how damn good it is 😍

A reminder for everyone to thank who is responsible for this:

I used to believe in a deterministic universe where causes and effects could be observed, analyzed, and eventually predicted. Then I worked in tech support for 25 years. Now I believe in Witches.

So here's what's cool about my job: Yesterday morning I said, "We really ought to have TWIN PEAKS available." So then a bunch of people scrambled, worked really hard, and now you can watch every episode of David Lynch & Mark Frost's original series for free on Pluto TV: pluto.tv/us/on-demand...

After like a year and a half of forgetting to actively hunt (thanks ADHD), I've found a replacement stylus that will sync with my tablet! Have an inaugural King Otto the XXIX (Pan-Dimensional Omni-Temporal Highest of High Kings of All Dwarves Everywhere)

Story Challenge to @faune.bsky.social Featuring his OC Sarah in a magic "tat" shop. This is part 1. Faune's challenge now is to come up with part 2!

A reminder as Musk-bots, Trump-bots, and other bots start hitting Bluesky: blocking users removes their replies from your posts entirely. The correct way of handlin antagonizing parties is to block. Not reply. Not dunk. Not mute. Block. It stops their reach and effectiveness right there.

For the first time in ages, I'm streaming FFXIV on Twitch. Why? A couple of my good friends are getting married in game! Come and join us at twitch.tv/desertleviathan if you want to watch! (Or roll an alt in game on Sargatanas Server in the next 15 minutes in Gridania to attend in-game!)
