Four more days of funding! ⏳ If you like: - struggling against the patriarchy of 1815's Bavaria - grieving your beautiful friend's disappearance - chambermaids - slacking on your job to investigate an occult mystery Then check out The Girls of the Genziana Hotel: gamefound.com/en/projects/...

just got added to this blocklist by some guy having a crash out over the cola vid lol bunch of other artists on there too, so good reminder for y’all to be careful what lists you sub to. personally I unsubbed from most of them except ai mod bc people can’t be trusted/there’s too many troll ones

Listening to @passionmedievistes.fr [Passion Médiévistes] Notre-Dame de Paris : paroles de compagnons - Épisode 3 : Restauratrice de vitraux #passionMedievistes podcastaddict.com/passion-medi...

or like, it used to be artists could hone their skills doing commercial grunt work then use that experience to make more sincere/personal work. which is how ur miyazakis & normans rockwell happened iirc. & kinda wondering how that will work out for future generations

ig it's like, w the kind of money rich ppl have these days, theres nothing stopping them & the corporations they run from financing genuinely beautiful & well-crafted (if politically sterile) art; instead we get slop w zero craftsmanship. rich ppl used to pay gaudí etc money to build their houses

I’m a big boy. I know humanities scholars don’t get credit for correct predictions. But I did call this.

Watching Trevor Phillips attempt (and fail) to keep up with Zack Polanski is a delight.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

This week in the Merely Roleplayers Studio: can Jasper Finch ( @sassylich.bsky.social ) gain the trust of Ornglen Unbroken? And what burdens must he accept to get it? Act 2 of It Feeds on Fire, our actual play of The Silt Verses RPG, is out on Tuesday.

I write audio drama, like the award-finalist I NEED A MIRACLE produced last year by @wirelesstheatre.bsky.social, where each episode is a prayer, some prayers are answered, and a granted prayer can upend the world. www.foggyoutline.com/ineedamiracle

More Carved from Brindlewood goodness, for Cadfael fans (if you like the sound of how The Silt Verses RPG works, but don't fancy the body horror and grotesquerie, try this!)

I've now added an overdue third draft mystery to Codex Delictorum. With "Socrates After Sext", Rosewood Abbey gets close to one of its inspirations. Like in The Name of the Rose, this mystery revolves around a missing ancient book. rolistespod.itch.io/codex-delict... #ttrpg #RosewoodAbbey 1/x

Using ai for reference is one way to legitimise it but also will make you worse in time. If you care about the art you make you should care about what influences it and where your ideas come from. The world is massive with tens of thousands of years of art and culture and history you can learn about

the thing that really bothers me: not a mention nor admission of "AI", "Midjourney", etc. on his profile or website, or anywhere near his art. who would even know if not for uhh recent reddit replies? so much for "not hiding it" i guess?

PSA if you care about your support going to art that is influenced by AI

The Enterprise-D bridge we got is my favourite from all the shows, so things worked out well. But I've always found these ideas for a much more casual, democratic bridge to be very appealing. I'd still like to see something like this in a Star Trek series one day. /1

Word.

They've said that now that Moonbeam is closing they're gonna focus on Mobe btw, which like yeah of course they're focusing on the AI chat bot and not the streaming security tools they spoke so much about in the campaign

The fact that so many sensible folks could not look critically at the platform for even 10 seconds before agreeing to stream on it is wild to me tbh. Like Evil Hat helped raise 10k for them? I have multiple mutuals who are signed up to run streams on the site?

Twitch keeps 50% and also sucks, but at least you know what you're getting into there. The future is not in Venture Capital funded LLM Streaming, it's in creators owning their own shit from the ground up.

I am ready to question all of the big name indie rpg groups that bought into a LLM powered rpg streaming website with VC funding, and an owner who is an active-duty military strategist tbh

Mobe is a fucking AI chat bot!!! On their fucking AI platform!! I asked directly about their use of LLMs and I was told "the technology is here and it isn't going away" like fuck

Hopefully I can make it to the last panel! 😖 I'm arriving on friday evening and need to get from the airport to the hotel first so fingers crossed everything goes smoothly!

J'y pense 🍏

En train de travailler sur un jeu qui sera publié dans quelques mois. C'est encore un brouillon mais mes bêtises me font rire donc j'aimerais partager ce passage avec vous.

Years of Conservative governments, who took Londoners as voters they mostly couldn't win, were succeeded by a Labour government who took Londoners for granted. Good to read Labour MPs are worrying.

Experts refer to this as the Wilma-Threatening-to-Move-Back-With-Mother gambit.
