Grok can't apologize. Grok can, when prompted, generate a word sequence that is statistically similar to the colloquial phrases we think of as "apologies," but Grok cannot actually apologize because Grok isn't sentient. But we all have a lot of trouble with this because we assume sentience IS speech

Noooooo

Rung in the new year by playing video games with friends, now we're sitting down with some baked brie to watch the Minecraft movie

We're kicking off Streamuary by starting up BALL x PIT! The forces of evil stand no chance against our— um… twitch.tv/anarisis

2026!!

It’s dangerous out there! Take this! #happynewyear #lemonpig

Something I've been quite enjoying as I finish up 2025 is developmental editing. So if you're looking for a developmental editor in 2026 for a game... FUCKING PAY ME LET ME BE YOUR SICKO FOR THIS HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME

It's time for the passing year! ✨🌟✨Happy new year!!✨🌟✨ Wishing you the best as always, health and success for you through 2026! Keep it up!

STREAMUARY RETURNS TOMORROW For the 9th year in a row I'm streaming every day in January! Highlights we'll be hitting: • Continuing Shadow of the Tomb Raider • Elden Ring Nightreign with friends • Participating in Distant Worlds 3 • Trying new games like BALL x PIT See you at twitch.tv/anarisis!

Anybody got a Solo RPG that would be fun to play to celebrate NYE? Our plans for a Xmas/New Years episode of @partyofonepodcast.bsky.social fell through and I'd like to record and drop something quick and fun today before the new year.

If you think someone will enjoy your favourite streamer, recommend them! Word of mouth is so powerful!

I need help! Do you have an example of a book (likely a guidebook, textbook, or similar) that has a little cartoon character head that appears occasionally to add commentary through a little word bubble or callout textbox? I need an image of this to use as an example and am having trouble googling.

Going into 2026, consider making your posts not only more accessible, but also more searchable on this platform. Use alt text. It's a lot easier than you think. It's also not for jokes or goofing around. It's to describe the meaning of the images in your post. No alt text? No repost from me. 💖

the week of Christmas ended up being not very restful due to work, so now I am officially on a short belated holiday break! time to go become mush

i feel like ttrpg bluesky has never felt more like 2019-2020 ttrpg twitter, for better or worse

#Ontario residents! Here's a petition to stop private health clinics from charging extra for important procedures like cataract surgery. #e-6811 #Canada

Genuinely the royalties that I do receive are what help pay my bills, especially when freelance work is slow! It makes a huge difference

In Tabletop Roleplaying Games the idea of royalties is still relatively new; more of us at the publishing level need to be thinking about ways to undermine the existing paradigm and build to sustain our comrades and collaborators in the long term and give them the fruits of their own labor

6 years together, 3 years married, infinity to look forward to @anarisis.dylangrinder.com 💖

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

I have officially launched TrueRef's new timed gesture tool (Flow) & free pose library (Pose)! Both are linked on trueref.io. While limited right now, both will contain our full free library by the 1st. 🤍 Flow: community.trueref.io/trueref_gest... Pose: community.trueref.io/free_referen...

Sometimes you just gotta dance at your wife like a bird of paradise

posting occupies an entirely different part of my brain than texting does

What do you want to hear more of on @partyofonepodcast.bsky.social in 2026? What guests, games, playstyles, systems, etc., would you be most excited to hear in the new year?

still figuring out if insurance will cover it, but in the meantime it'd mean the world if you'd consider: 1. picking up my latest game "The Vatican Stole the Menorah and We're Going to Steal Back": jumpgategames.itch.io/tvstmawgtsib 2. or a 20% bundle of all my other games: itch.io/s/176257/jum...

#TTRPG Year in Review Worked on: Blood On My Name, Eckeridge House Museum, Cosmere RPG, Confluence, Huckleberry, many NDA projects Played: The One Ring, Masks, Stars Without Number Ran: nothing I continue to climb out of my TTRPG burnout slowly but surely

can't wait to finish agonising over writing [this thing] so i can go back to utterly failing to write [that thing]

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

I've been masking in every public space and in private spaces with people who don't mask as vigilantly as my household does for the last 6 years! Navigating a world that doesn't mask is difficult, but the choice to and act of wearing a mask is simple

Yoooo, Roisin & Raela is 91% funded with only one day to go! This short film is like the Terrarium episode of Strange New Worlds if the SNW writers weren't cowards. I'd super appreciate it if anyone is able to donate/share to help us get over the finish line! www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/...

Today's the only day you can post this, get it while it's hot

Meet my Christmas child

I’m sure other people will post it but hey

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Definitely a top game to play or watch if you make art of any kind

Okay, yeah. Finished UNBEATABLE and I get it. I understand now why everyone lost their shit after completing the game. Without exaggeration one of the best games I've played — rough edges be damned — and the people at @dcellgames.com better be so goddamn proud of themselves for what they've made. 💙

UNBEATABLE? More like… yeah, okay, UNBEATABLE seems accurate. twitch.tv/anarisis

Happy Not Christmas Day, to those that celebrate.

AAA games executives tonight you will be visited by three spirits

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

If a movie/game/tv show/album/TTRPG/whatever deals with mature and upsetting themes, then it doesn't mean it should be demonized for existing. A mature piece of media's existence does not diminish the existence of media without upsetting themes.

To no one’s surprise, the secret history of RPGs has always been women innovating ideas that men “discover” anywhere from 10-400 years later! Fantastic thread from one of the hobby’s coolest academics.

If you really need to waste some water for your ideas, you can also do “staring at the wall” in the shower.

i had to drop what i was doing to make this
