Pro tip for creative people: If you ever feel down or insecure about your work, Post It Anyway. If you get no attention then nothing changed. If you gets lots of attention I guarantee 99% of it is someone staring for 2 seconds and going "neat!" before moving on. So Post It Anyway.

japanese adventure games, or JAVs as theyre often called

i hope it's painful for ads when i skip them

late night #ttrpg thought: What is "lore" to you guys? Is it something distinct from a game's built-in setting? Should a game have it at all outside the context of modules/adventures? Is it just paragraphs of prose and content for wiki articles? Is a random table lore, or is that vibes?

all good art has something to say and all good gacha illustrations are basically screaming "draw her getting fucked! I'm not allowed to! you have to do it!!!"

More and more game designers should do the thing that mangaka do where they have an illustrated scrunglo avatar and just use that to represent themselves

Predating my Earth and Sea series, but tapping into the tragic, fragile narratives learned from Vincent Desiderio while working as his assist. in the mid 90's.

Thank you so much to all 15k of you! 🎨Let’s do an art share! Introduce yourself and your work! 😊 🌙make sure you comment on each other’s stuff 🌞no ai ⭐️share people’s work too 🪐keep it SFW

born to make art, forced to do marketing

Me n who?? 😳🥰

I would disappear lmao. I think I'd still post stuff I make occasionally but I would not bother trying to network or think about how posting affects "my brand" or any of this shit. I've met cool people and had fun here but I'd drop social media so fast if I didn't feel like it helps my career.

If any of my cool mutuals are doing something for the neopets jam I'd love to collab and do art for it. let me draw some weird and freaky lil guys

This pops up every once in awhile and I always share it. Wu Tang goes in and out of popularity with the times, but there's no denying there was a Dream Team level of talent and brilliance on that roster. True artists.

I'll be really bummed out if Discord is unusable in the near future, but also I'm in like 20+ servers right now and if we're all moving to a new app I'm cutting that down to like 3 tops. I'll miss a lot of people, but the natural result of the internet getting worse is that I should use it less

I think the past few days have been a powerful reminder that I cannot sustain myself on shitty food and empty calories like I could when I was in college... I think before I get any work done tomorrow I owe myself a really thick, filling stew with beef and veggies for lunch. 🤤

You should be able to add Woke as an elemental power to a sword

I'm so done with being good faith and nuanced about this shit dude. Nobody fucking likes Harry Potter in 2026, it's a franchise 100% astroturfed for culture war by rich pedophiles and pedophile accessories.

decay as an intelligence

BLUESKY TIP When you come upon a post from a stranger, target it by holding the triangle button. If the post glows green, it is about you. If it doesn’t, you can move along. Try to find all the posts about you each day!

Pro tip to all ipad artists: If you have a hard case for your ipad, gently remove it every couple days or once a week. The plastic expands over time and after sitting in its case for the last 6-8 months I just had a fucking nightmare of a time getting it out without damaging the tablet 😩

"When it comes to publishing Harry Potter, it’s pretty simple: don’t." Members of a grassroots movement are pressuring Upper Deck Entertainment to not put tabletop money in the hands of a powerful transphobe. So far, they've been met with silence.

i need everyone to join this Legally Distinct Virtual Pet Game Jam 🙏

As much as I'd like to return to internet forums I also like to see someone develop modern internet forum software that's easy to run. It's a bummer that existing forums still basically feel like phpbb boards from 20 years ago- we really gotta modernize forum UI if we want them to be popular again.

on her mind #art (wallpapers below!)

I really dig this conceptually but the guisarme is hard to make out because it's been shrunk so much to fit the whole weapon in there. I think the same idea could be communicated with just the head of the weapon, since that's the distinct part of every polearm anyway.

I know my followers tend to be pretty cool but man in the coming years I feel like a lot of you guys are going to need to get very radical on the question of "what kind of internet do you want to have?" The net before social media was the way it was because it was built and hosted by normal people.

if an open source alternative to discord plays their cards right, and boasts a ban on genai in development, i think it will be *very* successful.

please give us more personal data please please please please c’mon you’re being so mean dude. we only got breached like three times. we’re NOT going to sell it man please please please plus its for like safety? so you’re the one who looks stupid right now come on pleaaaaaase just one data point bro

why don't you join Teamspeak? everyone's on Guilded right now. Guilded is basically Mumble. Join Revolt, join Rootapp, join Stoat. Stoat is Discord but better. Everyone's on Stoat, you'll love Stoat. Stoat has it for you.

I want to encourage people to cancel Discord Nitro and drown Discord in negative feedback but I also fear that it won't matter- we are in the stage of capitalism where your consent and even your money is not valuable to these companies because they're only kept afloat by the consent of elites.

I just want you guys to know it is ALWAYS ethical and morally good to corrupt these databases with false and useless information. Submit a photo of a politician, a Baldur's Gate gate character, your dead grandma's driver's license, a completely made up person, anything at all. It's always correct.

Before I go to bed, I haven't seen any other posts about it so I wanted to share this great itch bundle! Ten bux for 1400+ games and the money goes towards legal efforts to fight ICE in Minnesota. Check it out: itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

alright I shouldn't stay up too late tonight but I haven't drawn in a month so here's a lil late nite doodle. chat do I still got it #ttrpg #art #digitalart #illustration #absentiaart

yeesh! I never personally interacted with DayLITE but I think we might've followed eachother at some point. I can't find it anymore, did he delete his account?

Why is she up there (Repost)

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Quoting my buddy Chimaera: > I'd say "I wish I could get paid half a million for copypasting the PHB" but none of these people got paid.

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

I desperately need people to understand that when it comes to video games and TTRPGs, the per unit production costs of a physical product are effectively negligible when compared to the cost needed to produce the digital product. PDFs and digital games are disproportionately under valued.

I know people might be getting sick of the neopets thing but can I just talk about how much insane shit you can get away with if you have money. Raise half a mil and a year later post the DnD SRD with a few words changed and earnestly ask for feedback as if you shouldn't be ashamed.

discovered some life-changing ttrpg tech during friday’s session: after taking a mid session break, before getting back into the scene, do a sports style locker room interview with each player (in character). it’s 1) funny 2) focusing 3) immediately and personally characterizing

Give me the license. I've never played Neopets, but I understand it at least as well as the current people.

I do not drop loot, I am loot. You didn't mean to add me to your inventory but I'm a Key Item so you can't get rid of me. If we interact I'm going to laugh at you or offer unhelpful advice about progressing. I drink your potions. Picking me up has locked you out of the good ending. Idiot

So I'm actually curious (and a friend asked me recently and I had no idea), are there any good existing ttrpgs about taming and raising monsters/pets/that sorta thing out there? It's fun dunking on the neopets trainwreck but I do wanna know if someone's explored that idea in a ttrpg before.

look, please don't tell me to try other games, okay? the neopets ttrpg is what we're all familiar with. we use a homebrew setting instead of neopia and we ignore some of the rules about grappling and using rations during long-distance travel, but other than that it's exactly what we want.

the Neopets malarky is refreshing in the sense that not only do they not seem to know anything about Neopets but also don't seem to have read DnD.

I have come for you
