Re: the “too many X exist in the market” discourse, it’s just because capitalism. Humans are by nature creative, social, and active. We make art, we share art, we appreciate it. Unfortunately we’ve commodified it to the point of every hobby needing to be monetized, marketed, optimized. 1/?

Cosmic horror USED to mean that the tech would add tentacles and you couldn’t stop it. Now cosmic horror means the AI only makes “corporate Memphis” tentacles

TIL: Wayne Brady plays Clover the rabbit in Sophia And the Nursery Rhyme shorts are sung by Rob Cantor, the Actual Cannibal Shia LaBouf guy.

Hey there Delilah What's it like in the antique land Do two legs vast and trunkless In the desert wastes yet still stand All alone With this message carved in stone: "I'm not owned"

Freelancer here: from the internets perspective, I’m a successful full time designer! You can’t tell from my portfolio (NDAs) or from how I talk about contracts how much work I get. I AM a professional artist, but I do a VERY small amount of work each year. My husband supports us and I’m a SAHM!

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. CR being voice actors is crazy What do you mean Burtrand Bell is princess Sophia’s dad, king Roland? What do you MEAN Shakasta is singing about butterflies on Muppet Babies?!

We are also working on the lore for Tian Deng, a ttrpg about chinese diaspora in space very much informed by our culture as malaysian chinese, with the brilliant @bananachangames.bsky.social and @senfoonglim.bsky.social to be published by @evilhat.bsky.social

I had been using Adobe portfolio, which was EXTREMELY basic but free. Now it’s not free, and it’s certainly not worth paying for. So I need to create a whole portfolio site. 😮‍💨 I’m considering vgen rather than something like wix. Or maybe just notion. I need something I can’t overthink

Sharing a short post today to keep my blogging limber. It's mostly just for me. "Why do I need to add bleed again? And what the heck is this other thing called slug?" www.explorersdesign.com/what-is-blee...

food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have

Genuine question for all my game devs and publishers: I haven’t seen any game sellers (save one handmade wood puzzle game vendor) at ren faire before. But the overlap of faire-goers and TTRPG players is a lot. Why don’t we vend games and zines at faire?

Stop the presses! The Tomkin Press… ok bad jokes Starforged and other titles are on a huge sale right now. Run, don't walk, to drive-thru and grab yourself what is my opinion the greatest solo rpg out there. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/3...

They all found homes! I especially loved finding people in costumes that matched a painting, it was obviously meant for them.

All of the little paintings I’ve made to give away at MD ren faire tomorrow! I’ve really enjoyed these tiny things, I might keep doing them.

Randomly remembered my first and only LARP today- an extremely organized local chapter of VTM Camarilla. I did not enjoy it. That experience should’ve come with a free autism diagnosis.

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that! @stonemaiergames.com

Game Jam called "Make It Fit" where we try to force a system to do something that it shouldn't do at all while still maintaining the ethos of the system. Farming mechanics in Blades in the Dark. Orbital Blues dating simulator. Draw Steel store management sim.

Blown all the way back in time right now because I’m showing my daughter Gulla Gulla Island, this was THE childhood show I still don’t understand WHY there’s a giant frog but I’m not complaining

It's a common misunderstanding "academically unreliable" isn't because it's not accurate It's because it's always being updated When you cite sources in academic work it's important that people who check your work are able to see the exact same info you saw so if there is an error it can be traced

I’m not doing any monthly drawing challenges this year, HOWEVER I am very brilliant and realized I can bring tiny watercolor doodles for trinket trade at the ren faire So I’m just gonna make a whole bunch of colorful, funky lil guys and bestow them upon those who pass the vibe check

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.

Today I realized that Precious Moments is American chibi and I don’t know what to do with this information

Been writing again today.

I’m just imaging Drix from Osmosis Jones overstaying his body visa to break into your brain and force you to 1. Memorize your local garbage truck routes 2. Hate microfiber

The blues clues movie is a surprise hit so far, I love Steve so much. “Without a thinking chair, I’ve been leaning into thinking snacks.” Me too Steve, me too.

If you use a recipe in a cook book, you must NEVER make adjustments for your personal taste. You can only ever make it exactly as written in the book.

Pour one out for Erfworld 😭

I am so tired of AI slop being the only scifi imagery I can find. Can you help me out here? I just want to enjoy some scifi, futuristic POC portraits and fashion

I forgot the hashtag 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ #the_color_wheel

This is so my thing, I LOVE colors! I have multiple series with rainbow so I tried to pick just one or two from each. The alt text is a lot but we got it boys 👊

We calling the manager, the CEO, the president, the police, Mr Rogers and your mama because this will NOT fly

Can y’all please tag your posts when you share articles about that poor boy talking to chatGPT, I can’t read that right now and I keep seeing…details. So many details. With no content warnings. Please.

As an AuDHD person, I'm constantly chasing that sweet, sweet dopamine. Chatbots gave me that. I didn't have to bother my friends, I could message it at all hours of the night, and that dopamine release was constant! It took me too long to realize... I was legitimately addicted to it.

Commissions are open, and for just five dollars you can get a simple monotone half bust! I'm hoping to do at least 20 of these a month to cover the recent increase in my bills, so boosting is much appreciated!! ko-fi.com/ayusheknows/...

Someone should just let me be a colorist again, that’s all I really want to do Just color math, shading, rim light, vibing with rainbows and neon Please pay me to make your comic look like Lisa Frank’s punk phase 🙏

Spent the day making a #drawsteel cheat sheet with Affinity Publisher. New to the tool... took longer that I thought. But it is a beginning. You can check it out here drive.google.com/file/d/1tgHE... This sheet is not for the absolute beginner, but it is based on what I think I need currently

Tell me your animal facts! (Or other fun facts I guess) and I will share my fun math fact

Apparently when allistic people do ice breakers and they say “tell me a fun fact” you’re supposed to tell a fact about YOURSELF. I learned this TODAY. I have AS and BA degrees and I’ve worked at NASA. Never knew. I have a math fact and animal facts.
