not advice rather than an opinion ive developed since being in school the idea that sketchbooks need to be perfect and presentable needs to die

You can also use your tongue, if you like the taste

Artificial Intelligence implies the existence of Natural Intelligence, and I'm not seeing a whole heck of a lot of evidence for that lately

""AI suggests you're perfect and always right and also here's a misread excerpt stolen off a 12 year old reddit thread presented as fact. /s Think for yourself and write for yourself if you want to convince someone of something."

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

Art is everywhere if you know where to look.

I really, really, really hope this is true.

Whenever I paint digitally I can never decide on brushes I like and always go back to traditional media

If you had told 5-year-old me that one of the things I'd be doing most as an adult was declining cookies multiple times on the daily I would have thought you were craycray.

anyway: yet another reminder that consuming media about hot gay men kissing does not automatically make someone an ally & that the wave of popularity for a show where hot naked hockey men kiss each other does not mean everyone who likes the show will stand up when it matters

So you're an artist? That paints a beautiful picture.

i still hate how all the AI slop companies are using gradients for everything. i’m a designer who loves gradients and now using them makes everything look like an AI company made it.

In I, The Land, you are a patch of land, like an island, valley, or mountain. You have unique characteristics, flora, and fauna, and unique powers. Decide to react to, and influence events as they happen on or around you, or simply pay witness to your changing landscape. 1/2

If some of the way XP is awarded is randomized between adventures and milestones, players will be free to act more like they want instead of in a singular, pushed direction like combat. Something I definitely want in a #ttrpg, which is why I wanted to try it... 1/2

My friends complimen me on our game sessions. The thing in common when they do? They like the ones best that I'm detouring away from the written adventure and planning, homebrewing, or improvising instead. 1/2

White and grey everywhere and eerily quiet. The fresh fluff is imperceptible against my boots. Sometimes I feel guilty getting lost in how peaceful it can be out here. I glide through the snow toward the village. 1/2

Every month* I run (and teach) an open, public indie TTRPG in my discord server. This month it's Broken Compass, a pulpy adventure inspired by Indiana Jones, the Mummy, and the like. Stop on by, you're invited! *Well, it was monthly until mid 2024.

Actions have consequences.

It's well past time for Canadian government officials to get off of X, @jameswsthomson.com writes. This latest — disgusting — incident is just one more reason.

Same goes for jerk employees. If you keep them you lose good people and only retain more jerks over time.

Every asshole you keep around because you don't want to lose a customer will chase off dozens of other customers.

🦠 💎 Infection and resonance are two concepts that effect most things in #ttrpg Bug & Claw. The first thing you do when creating a character is roll to determine your starting infection and resonance values. This will effect everything else.

Boy. Yeah, no, there are no good excuses for staying on Twitter.

You GOTTA keep it together, you hear me? This sounds insane to people who have a healthy relationship with being online and if you are? Good. It’s okay that this sounds insane. For everyone else? PLEASE listen to me. Question shit. Interrogate before just believing so and so is dangerous.

As an artist, illustrator, and designer, I know how hard it can be to get creative work. I also know how enjoyable and emotional creating that type of work can be, but also how important it can be that the culture around us informs it. Things #AI should stay out of. 1/2
