if you needed another reason to stop using spotify:

I've been preparing a couple more solo plays and this came up again. disrepectfully, fuck off with that shit.

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders. But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡

yea

Thank you @lynarinya.bsky.social for the skin-tone recolour of my Live2D model! 💚 Its another step towards feeling more comfortable with how I present myself online.

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

I try not to judge people. But if you still pay money for anything Harry Potter-related and expect friendship out of me? We’re severing ties and you can eat grass. The damage and harm and hurt that Joanne is ACTIVELY doing to trans people is irreparable.

A Rascal sister site has launched: @roguesite.bsky.social Former-Polygon writers have gotten together to launch a worker-owned video game journalism outlet (with a little rascally help). If you mourned the loss of one site, celebrate the birth of another, and support the people making it happen.

I have set up the page for #FolkloreJam 2025! Join us in October to make analogue games inspired by folklore, myths and urban legends! itch.io/jam/folklore...

I always hesitated printing anything physical, even when some US people said they'd support it. Last year I jokingly said I'll only do physical for Australia and Oceania, knowing that it wouldn't be viable. Still don't know.

Trump's latest tariff changes, including the loss of de minimis exemptions, take effect today. Several small press tabletop designers are trying to anticipate the impending chaos.

Once again strongly suggest that everyone sub to the labeler, the majority of new "artists" since 2024 are AI users, and it's unreasonable to ask someone to be able to spot the tells/styles. If an AI user isn't on there, you can report them to the labeler. bsky.app/profile/aimod.social

#TTRPG AP Streamers! I'm curious. Say someone approached you to play a 4-hour, 4+ player, one-shot session of their RPG on your channel. How much would you charge, and about how big is your audience?

On the cusp of doing a creative project and I'm trying to find a way to get into that momentum mindset WITHOUT making me totally abandon all responsibilities for a month o.o

Gotta keep remembering this. Gotta keep going. There will always be another casting call. One that doesn't require you to be physically available to record in LA. Even if that's where all the work seems to be going this days. Deep breaths.

Oh, good… Nice to see how the “new” Bluesky Moderation is being handled.

I love how trying to be a writer/game designer/artist on the modern internet is just constantly moving from one rickety, barely-stable house to another and wondering whether the house will collapse first or the landlord will turn out to be a nazi

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell. It's all about AI. They very much want to use AI. They very much want to use your art to train AI. They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI

- Site title - Site Logo - Custom Home page - Custom background - Custom accent color (used for highlights + link hover states) - Custom heading font - Custom body font @pandiongames.com has been playing around with Spark and you can already get the VIBE that this is a Pandion site.

Everybody calling payment processors and raising a stink about this, you're doing amazing, and I'm proud of you.

These site will be YOURS. Custom home page? yes. Custom .... contact page ? yeah! A page to list your wholesale details? sure! A presskit page for your next game? YES! A page that just says "you're cool!", go for it! 😄

a reminder to new followers: fuck ai. get that dogshit away from me. i do not care. slop.

I can't emphasize enough how much your direct action, calling these processors every day, has forced these statements and the news coverage to happen. It's so important that we keep going. We have been shown they can bleed so be like sharks. Keep up the pressure and more things will start cracking.

So when you guys do you daily calls today you should ask mastercard what illegal adult content they found on these content creation platforms. Tell them to make names. When they give you the runaround say "but what have you found that's illegal". They won't because there was never an investigation

Completely forgot I might've been given an alpha playtester credit for Draw Steel! I'm very happy to have been a part of it. 💚

💫🌷 My 2025 Meet the Artist 🌷💫

The #DokiJam is going to be my crash course into Godot, seeing if I can make something in 2 weeks, and the start of constant streaming. Jams have been great motivation for me! So, here we go. www.youtube.com/@SomnusGrey

🚨 Time for a Video Game Voice Actor Spotlight! 🚨 If you're an Australian or New Zealand Voice Talent working in the video game space, we want you to post some of your work in the comments so we can give them a share!

Please just ignore anything related to the new Harry Potter show. Do not give it your time or attention. If you see something about it, remember that part of every dollar it earns is used to hurt real trans people.

I rushed to make a trifold adventure site for the #BreathlessJam2! Although its a bit rough, I am very proud of it and actually publishing it! I'm just happy I made a little stealth-focused library crawl. :D PWYW Download: somnusgrey.itch.io/keep-dead-qu...

Paid work offer! I'm looking to work with someone to structure my short-form video strategy. Shorts/Tiktok/Insta. Someone who knows what that landscape looks like in TTRPGs and what's been successful so far. Email the address in my bio!

coming soon: SUZi, a new TTRPG about sex robots! everyone starts with the same character, you play a solo game with lifepaths to figure out how you broke free, and then you work together to stay safe from humanity and eventually transcend the limitations of form (art by @robbiaburns.bsky.social)

🚨🚨 CASTING CALL ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨🚨 We are gearing up for Halloween season already over here with some HORROR one-shots, as well as our next miniseries! We will be running: - Hero Catastrophe - Trophy Dark - Mothership - Good Strong Hands And the miniseries is: REBEL SCUM! Deadline: 7/9 12pm EST

NEW QUINNS QUEST REVIEW! At a time when fantasy RPG releases are competing for attention like crabs in a bucket, Mythic Bastionland by @bastionland.bsky.social upends that bucket and sets us all free. It's simple, it's genius, it's like nothing you've ever played. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4-u...

Live again! Doing more ttpg work. 6 Days to go for the Breathless Jam. YouTube: youtube.com/live/-rkuu5k... Twitch: www.twitch.tv/somnusgrey

If your review of my RPG has AI art in it, I will not be sharing it, no matter how nice you are about my game.

Really happy with the amount of work done within the stream, even if a large part of it was just figuring out what I wanted to do. I'm aiming to get at least two submissions done for the #BreathlessJam2

Doing some work for the Breathless 2 game jam. Going to be just vibing after a not so fun weekend. Multi-streaming didn't work so its twitch only tonight. www.twitch.tv/somnusgrey

Stop using generative AI. There is no legitimate use of generative AI. There is no “I hate AI but this is ok”. Not everyone is using it. We do not have to “get used to it or be left behind.” Just don’t. Just stop. Delete the app. Close your account. Save some money. Take the first step. #noai

My genuine art advice for people opening commissions is to try your best to enjoy working on it. If you can't find joy in the work then you'll just get burnt out. Unless you're getting paid like $5k, then tough it out buttercup

A long time coming, but Mausritter now has an SRD! There’s a nice website where you can get the rules or download a markdown file, plus they’re now released under a CC-BY license so you’re free to use the rules text in your own projects mausritter.com/srd/

Over in the Chimera Hearts discord, we're helping turn folks' games into audiobooks! Hopefully this will help improve the approachability of RPGs to newcomers. If you've got a game you'd be interested in converting to audiobook format, let us know and we'll see if we can work together!

I finally get to talk about it! We're doing Mausritter Month this November, a group collab-project on BackerKit. A chance for Mausritter's amazing community of third-party creators to showcase their work and launch projects side-by-side.

We're looking for all kinds of creators to be part of Mausritter Month, so if you want to apply, you can see all the details here.
