I'd hire a team of master cat burglars to break into the houses of the world's top 36 chess grandmasters and steal one piece from each one's fanciest chess board, creating the world's most valuable, most chaotic, & most illegal chess set. I suck at chess & have no particular interest in the game

Hell yeah, you can spot a cover I made in there! (Dead center, Soul of the Beast) 👀

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Just glad Splatatouille's family can finally have some closure x

I saw something recently that said a strategy for adhd is you just need to commit to doing 30%. The full scope of 100% of a project is just too overwhelming. So just start with some thumbnails or sketches for now and then commit to another 30% another day or week. Any progress IS progress

chatgpt? whatever. I’m giving myself internet psychosis the old fashioned way: finding an unhinged individual and falling down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out whatever tf they’re doing

Oops! I accidentally sent this essay a day early, the second in my series about books in ttrpgs and how we play with them. When and why do we call our games "books"? What terms do we use for our books and why?

seeking folks who may be interested in playtesting a new game. not ready quite yet, but soooon. lemme know 2 player ttrpg about a witch & puppeteer doing a ritual that breaks their souls apart into little bone puppets to escape the oubliette. little dice game, character building, character unmaking

When asked "Why play solo RPGs?", I try to hit: - Flexibility: play anytime - Creativity: build your own worlds, characters, stories - Skills: learn systems, practice GMing - Focus: center on one character - Immersion: explore personal experiences and emotions - Community: share your stories

Not enough writers use Spite as their protagonist's motivation. In real life, it's incredibly powerful and we use it all the time. In books, it's uncommon and almost always depicted as a flaw to be overcome. #blutoid #writing #booksky

This is FATAL for the true sickos.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook. MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops! ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

Just don't share A.I. slop of any sort. I've seen a wave of Sora shit on various social media platforms. A.I. is destructive on too many levels to ever encourage anyone to use it, and sharing or liking is encouragement. Complicity in the destruction of our planet and humanity.
