Good morning, Bluesky! www.youtube.com/watch?v=McOt...

nerdlegame 1539 3/6 Dungleon 1522 5/6💠 Squardle 1524 3 Guesses Remaining Referdle 1229 14/25 Focus is decent enough this morning, but luck is evidently not on my side. Keep it strapped down, got it.

Feelin' not 100%, taking a 2 hour break from stream. Will be restarting at 9:00pm Eastern for more Tactical Breach Wizards!

Okay, we appear to be up! Come on in, y'all! picarto.tv/tailsteak

In case you're curious, I didn't want to do any of the aforementioned conceptualization while not streaming, so while I'm waiting for Picarto to hopefully get its shit together, I'm colouring my man Gredd, here.

Picarto's evidently having some issues, folks. I'm gonna give it a few and then try again.

Looking for albums to play today, few things hurt my heart in quite the same way as seeing all these AI slop thumbnails that bastardize Daft Punk's helmets.

Loading up Angine de Poitrine album for stream, I appreciate how even the stylized version has the eyes peeking out of the mouth.

Monday! It's Monday! New Forward! forwardcomic.com/archive.php?... As you can see, Lee had a plan. *My* plan is to stream, 11am-11pm Eastern! picarto.tv/Tailsteak I've decided it's gonna be all starting-sketch stuff today. I've got *conceptualization* to do. Come say hi!

website called "deviantart" never allowed porn USELESS

Listened to Angine de Poitrine for the first time, and y'all can expect them on my streams going forward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ssi... a) I have a soft spot for "nonhuman" bands (i.e. Daft Punk) b) They're on some microtonal mathrock bullshit, but somehow it's listenable?

Told my Mom and her roommate about the Boston molasses flood of 1919 ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_M... ), and they totally didn't believe me and looked it up. The wonder and horror in their voices was a surprisingly gratifying Easter treat.

Went to Easter service with Mom, was momentarily startled when the pastor referred to us, collectively, as "church", in the way a streamer might speak to "chat".

nerdlegame 1537 3/6 Dungleon 1520 3/6💠 Squardle 1522 3 Guesses Remaining Referdle 1227 12/25 Big break in the middle of this one, Mom came to pick me up for church when I was half-done the Referdle. Don't think it matters much, this was a pretty standard sesh.

nerdlegame 1536 4/6 Dungleon 1519 3/6💠 Squardle 1521 5 Guesses Remaining Referdle 1226 10/25 Good to see my Dungleon friends got rezzed between puzzles, despite the fact that there's no cleric in the tileset.

Was up super late last night because I got caught up doing what amounts to recreational geometry for the background of a picture I'm not being paid for.

What if Bellina, but stripey?

Khadija should have read the label on that bottle more closely! (No, the commissioner didn't pay for animation, but I went the extra mile because I think it's nifty.)

This was a commission for Cream Pi Day, with Bellina and the commissioner's character, Roxie, enjoying the aftermath of vigorous group activity. (I've been trying to get "starsome" as in ✳️ going as a preferred term over "gangbang" (connotations), so I guess this is a binary starsome.)

A commission for @velius1313.bsky.social and @thatharper.bsky.social of their human characters, Marshmallow (bunny ears) and Cinnamon (glasses) with their respective Affini, Mentha (sunflower) and Amarelle (glowing eyes). Man, what park is this at?

There's a lot of boring stupid bullshit that I have to do to be an artist, and I don't want an AI to handle it for me... not because therein lies True Art or Personal Expression or Necessary Experience, but simply because I don't trust it. I'd rather hire a human PA, if I could.

nerdlegame 1535 2/6 Dungleon 1518 X/6 Squardle 1520 5 Guesses Remaining Referdle 1225 9/25 Yes, as you can see, I brainfarted my way out of my Dungleon streak. True, I had @netrogo.bsky.social trying to show me Youtube shorts, but that should've been all the more reason to proofread.

Just got this pic of Lee from @[email protected] , he's streaming right now! (18+ only, obviously.) piczel.tv/watch/sethtr...

I do love how I can cook like I'm high when I'm not high.

nerdlegame 1534 2/6 Dungleon 1517 4/6 💠 Squardle 1519 4 Guesses Remaining Referdle 1224 16/25 Nailed a 2, then dipped below my averages. Overconfidence, or just luck? Either way, a good day to stay alert.

There are lots of stories in which magic or whatever is real, and the normies have some sort of veil that keeps them unaware of it. In theory, these stories take place in *this* world, and therefore, a fictional version of *you* exists somewhere in those stories as a background character.

Tried installing new tablet, stylus won't stop registering a centimeter above the surface like a theremin. Attempted to switch back, old tablet now also malfunctioning. Giving up on it for today, will try to fuck with it tomorrow or Friday. Glad paper still works.

Hey, no foolin', it's the first of the month! That means new commission themes! forwardcomic.com/commission.h... You could get your art 50% off (as little as $60USD for a full colour full body) if it features: ~Wanda Wix 👩🏾‍🔬 ~Sudden Surprise! 💥 ~Playing cards/card games 🃏 ~Metamorphosis 🐛⌛️🦋

I'm trying to install a new piece of hardware, and, once again, I'd just like to wish an extremely stubbed toe to whoever invented a type of port for displaying called Display Port that looks identical to HDMI except for one corner.

nerdlegame 1533 3/6 Dungleon 1516 4/6💠 Squardle 1518 8 Guesses Remaining Referdle 1223 10/25 As decent as can be expected. Vibe from today's answers: defiance. Assertion. Have been, am, will be. A good start to the day.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to everyone who doesn't quite fit into the two boxes. A future where everyone perfectly fits into a binary doesn't exist and never has, humans have never been that simple. Be who and what you are, know that you have more friends than enemies

nerdlegame 1532 3/6 Dungleon 1515 5/6💠 Squardle 1517 4 Guesses Remaining Referdle 1222 12/25 Brain's running at about half capacity today. Not great, when I gotta go in and do my taxes. I'll try to focus up.

Me, introducing a new OC to my followers:

Was rereading my commentary on today's strip, considered that I've been a golem and a genie, and wondered what the mashup would be, humans building a magical servant who..... .... ....oh, right, Weird Science. Huh.

Tactical Breach Wizards: "This theocracy with draconian border laws is planning a war in order to quash dissension with wartime patriotism." Me: Oof, political commentary, I wonder if they- TBW: "Also, they're the only country that still uses imperial measurement units." Me: Ah.

Stream is streaming! Come on in! picarto.tv/tailsteak

Hey hey, it's Monday! New Forward just dropped! forwardcomic.com/archive.php?... Today's comic is kind of a big deal & it's kinda personal. I hope everyone's been following along.

Game idea: cozy farming sim, but your village has a kaiju. Farm food for your big buddy's ever-increasing dietary needs, work with the townsfolk to train them and keep them healthy and happy, and, every so often, take control of them to fight away threats and prevent damage to your farm & property.

In any sane and compassionate version of the American health care system, employers laying off anyone with an ongoing condition would be required to still provide the same health coverage until the ...wait, never mind, I just re-read that first part of that sentence and it's silly, never mind.

I draw an awful lot of characters in chokers, considering that I, personally, can't stand having something hugging my neck.

Allegiance or antipathy to an aesthetic is alarmingly easy to mistake (especially by those who have it) for an actual opinion.

Time for a game of "Which one's drunk, which one's stoned?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXMt... Now, I'm sure everyone in this video is actually playing responsibly. But if I were to tell you that ONE person is secretly super drunk and ONE person is secretly super high, who would you guess?

I can't help but feel that I'd be more productive if I had a tablet I didn't have to hold the cable in with one hand while I use, and that didn't disconnect every thirty seconds regardless.

I have curated my Bluesky feed such that about 1 in every 20 posts has boobs in it, and, scrolling down, it's about 50/50 if I'm about to also see a dick. At no point was this an intentional effort on my part, but I'm not going to argue.
