1. Blame tech marketers! 2. I am NEVERENDINGLY angry that the videogame industry went the way of (generally) making us play against other people instead of making first class enemy bots for those of us who like games but are old and don't want to be perennially teabagged by twitchy middleschoolers.

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

You know what? Fuck it. Let's start work on the d20Monkey: The Complete Series PDF. Enough back and forth. I need to put hands and my RAM back onto the series that brought me all of my joy. And double fuck it. I'll Backerkit this thing.

Has anyone else noticed how there aren't any headline articles about what non-racists think about the new Helen of Troy? Here's a better question, WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT RACISTS THINK ABOUT ANYTHING? Their fucking brains are broken. Stop centering them, idiot media.

Hey Buckaroos. I am trying to put eyes on a friends GoFundMe for her sick kitty. Every bit helps. Thanks for your time. www.gofundme.com/f/help-star-...

If you ask someone how they’re doing and they say “I’m okay,” responding with some variation of “Just okay?” is a weird and selfish response. Please never do this to people who are just trying to be polite.

Your art is important, but so is your sleep! If you don’t rest, how will you make the best silly drawings tomorrow? Go recharge, genius. 😌 💤

I promise you this is a bad game and you don’t want it even if they paid you

::slaps the roof::

Have Brian make your character art, or avatar or what ever other thing you need drawn!

A rare to-the-point self promotion from me: I am full-time freelance, I love what I do, and I am about to have some medical bills hitting me. I'm asking for folks to support my Patreon and give me a little more breathing room. Every bit helps and it keeps me working. www.patreon.com/c/d20monkey

Hey, by the way... Fuck AI. Have a great morning. 🫡

I hope someone does a comparison on how long Randy Orton took to walk down the ramp last night vs how long Roman Reigns takes tonight. Like from appearance on the entrance stage to in the ring.. how long and who was slower? #wrestlemania

Another April 14th down and it's been 8 years without you. I keep hoping it'll get easier but every anniversary of this day is so hard. I miss you big brother. #FuckCancer

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

I saw both the Challenger and the Columbia. Knowing what happened with Artemis I re-entry, I'm very excited to welcome Artemis II back to earth but I'm also scared for them

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..

Wrapped up another fun project for @atlasgames.bsky.social for the upcoming Mice's Gambit puzzle book as part of the Meowtropolis KS campaign. It was a lot of fun and you can still jump on this a superhero kitty adventures for a few more days. www.kickstarter.com/projects/atl...

I don’t think most folks understand just how close many, many creatives and freelancers in the TTRPG space are to absolute burnout.

Howdy! I'm Brian, an illustrator/cartographer/comic maker in the tabletop games industry with decades of experience and I am actively looking for more freelance work. Check out brianfnpatterson.com for my portfolio, client list, and commission inquiries. Let's make your thing! #ttrpg

ATTENTION FELLOW TRANS FOLX: Gmail is finally rolling out the ability to change your account name. So, for instance, if the Google account that you rely on has had your deadname on it, you'll be able to change that. (It hasn't made it to me yet, but I'm hopeful that that'll change soon.)

Maybe it will happen tomorrow! But if it doesn’t please don’t start a rumor it did.

CLINCHED.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

If J.K. Rowling had fucked a kid or said the N-word, this wouldn't even be a discussion. So if you ever wonder why the trans community doesn't feel like anyone has their backs *gestures wildly at Bluesky today*

Some YA fantasy authors who to my knowledge have never funded an attempted trans genocide: Terry Pratchett Diana Wynne-Jones Garth Nix Suzanne Collins Susan Cooper Phillip Pullman Rick Riordan Pierce Brown Sheri S. Tepper V. E. Schwab Rachel Hartman Alex Pheby Alan Garner Ursula Le Guin And more!

Now president Trump is saying he won’t fund TSA until the SAVE Act is passed. Say what?! Why is he so hellbent on this one thing? Ohhhhh, that’s why… youtube.com/shorts/z0ip6...

Any use of genAI always reads to me like: “We just used a little bit of shit in our cake because we couldn’t afford chocolate.”

Had an incredible session of D&D last night with @d20monkey.bsky.social . My character found out somethings about the girl she's in love with. She may not be the person Amara thinks she is. I've been thinking about the session all day

My maps are in this and they are damn pretty.
