oops it's her again

Someone please help me. My brain is gathering ideas for a Pokemon ttrpg and just don't need that stress in my life right now. Totally blaming @raynegrimm.bsky.social and the awesome Pokemon videos.

The ever excellent @chocori.bsky.social Produced this piece for my game. A Sprawlite engineer showing off some augments as well as sporting the Teti-Tech logo on her hips.

Random talk here: I've been asked before by newer/younger artists about how to get popular or meet other artists. My answer is "please do not make popularity your focus when creating art." It's going to leave you frustrated and feeling empty when you create artwork. It'll suck the fun out of it.

Bring back photobashing instead of resorting to ai. Photobashing is much more fun and useful vs ai slop making machine

I really should post the new art Ashi for me week ago when I get home.

"you gotta pay us way more because we think we maybe found a way to pay workers less but we're pretty sure it's going to take a lot more of your money for us to fix how broken it currently is"

Update!!

Realized I was doing a scope creep and decided to stuff that. Chapter 11 is done so I'm hoping I can do Chapter 12 finished before the end of the year but we'll see.

The DM started describing a thieves cant symbol I got this far into drawing it, at his instruction, before realising what it was and getting So Mad

I am curious why is there an impulse among some people when they receive information they do not understand or an answer to a question they do not like they act like the other person said nothing. Like... how do you function like this? Do you usually restrict your interactions to a circle of abuse?

Following up on a thought from @punchystream.bsky.social's talking about how the PS1 still has so many hidden gems that people are only now discovering: There were ~4,070 games on PS1 released over a decade. There's 18,000+ being released EVERY YEAR on PC now. Almost EVERY game is a hidden gem now

Our boiler broke at the weekend, and our house was FREEZING. But a very nice man called Barry from British Gas came around and fixed it. Anyway today I got a text asking for feedback on Barry, and possibly I shouldn’t reply to these things while still loopy on painkillers from root-canal.

Today is another day to make people regret giving me literacy.

RPG tip: Beach and shopping episodes give the characters a break between big climactic adventures. #dnd #ttrpg

HEARTBREAKING: Experienced ttrpg player panics and forgets all the game rules when their turn starts.

If they think our concerns over free speech is a "farce", that'd make the people pushing these bills un-American, don't you think? #stopageverification #stoponlineidchecks Sign: www.stoponlineidchecks.org Find and call your rep: www.congress.gov/members/find...

Going to try to define Rules-Light vs. Rules-Heavy. Light-Designed for a few sessions of play and/or flat/non-existent character progression. Heavy-Designed for long term play with large amounts of character progression.

Also, if people prefer lighter rulesets great. That does not in fact mean I am being insulting and elitist when I suggest that there are some play experiences that crunchier rulesets are better at providing.

I’ve taught a lot of games, and one of the easiest to teach was Pathfinder 2e and one of the hardest to teach was Masks. This isn’t an indicator of quality necessarily, but more that I think people make a mistake when they assume math = complexity and lack-of-math = intuitive.

I firmly believe badly calibrated expectations have ruined experiences with many games that are actually very good (and in replies I’ve pointed out a couple that I’ve been involved in, sometimes even caused myself) so it’s not about “heavy rules better than light!” or anything of the sort either.

This early morning’s tabletop frustration: “Mara why do you hate rules light games they’re amazing and most games are too hard to be any good” first of all they aren’t “too hard”, you’re afraid of showing vulnerability and working with me for accommodations, that’s different, I know you

For your consideration, I make a fantastic husband for APs. I bring to the table: - a love of history - a well-maintained ceremonial-and-functional sword - an understanding of how to do ritual magic For references, ask @intersectionscch.bsky.social

another effect of inexperienced people misunderstanding the cost of commercially competitive games is I've helped people ship hundreds of freeware no-budget hobby games, each day mad strangers think I'm rich off games that are more local community theater fun than hollywood. like sir I'm a teacher 🙃

LETS GOOOOOOOO

... cursed pitch for a TTRPG: A Hell's Kitchen-inspired sim where players are in a competitive kitchen brigade and the GM is the Ramsay-like host hurling rules and food inspection at the players. I imagine it ends with the players pulling out their knives for their best Ides of March impression.

Hi!! I've just released my third album on Bandcamp. It's called Seal Sadness and I've been working on it since April 2024. I would be grateful if you would check it out. It's (mostly) kinda chill synthpop with synthetic vocals. There's a preview of the title track in the quoted post.

Gonna say it here that yeah I view it as a serious moral failing as well as an intellectual one There been a few shorts I've seen crop up making fun of people who now use it to answer/handle talking to people and I WISH it was as ludicrous and overblown as they make them out to be Legit have seen

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape

Hey new MMO with gen AI powered NPC dialogue, how's that working out for you?

Casting an unschedule nap spell on you. Postcard from my collection, no date.

Absolutely my favorite game of 2024 and one of my favorite games of all time. Nine Sols is one of the best games I've played in a long time. With many, many excellent things to get lost in. Play Nine Sols.

Yay! :D Play Nine Sols Trust me, it's incredible. Deeply challenging metroidvania with Sekiro-inspired parry focused combat, gorgeous hand-drawn artstyle, and an incredible soundtrack, from the developers of Detention and Devotion. It's absolute S-rank good.

Finally playing through Nine Sols HELL of a game. Beautiful, stylish, and absolutely brutal. I'm about halfway through, on the fifth boss. Said boss fight had my jaw hit the floor Massive thanks to @caseyexplosion.bsky.social for showcasing it and to @mitsy.gay for the surprise gift copy

I smell comic backgrounds chatter on the wind, just gonna drop this in here and let it speak for itself From How to Webcomic!

Lil' bored, so... hey, why not- 1 like = 1 filmmaker and my four favourite films of theirs.

So I've taken a couple days break and one thing that's the hardest about returning to do work on projects is there's this weird spool up time to getting back into it. Especially under less than ideal conditions. Work distractions, backpain, and poor sleep ideal conditions do not make. We got this.

Even IF it was somehow did do what techbros claimed, it doesn't, it still would be an absolute loser of a value proposition. It's like spending $25k worth of wood to produce a $20 dollar product. I think its return is worse, I'm just not bothering to do math at the moment. Quicker it dies, better.

Real world challenges are not meant to be done alone. Human teammates, unlike AI, bring unique backgrounds and interests to doing things better than we'd even know how to ask for! That's why we #gamedev together in DevPods.gg We use #godot #unity3d and #unreal to build freeware games as a community

Happy Thanksgiving
