I've ended up losing a pretty critical monthly retainer. Things aren't dire yet, but I'm taking a few moves to be sure they don't get there (esp. b/c this was how I funded dG).
If you'd like to pick up something from our Itch store right now I'd love you forever. Thanks!

hey folks, DG has been a huge inspiration and it'd be cool to see it stick around for quite a long time. It's a great group of folks and sites, and if you can throw a couple bucks at the patreon et al I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
A longer post on this, from the Discord.

Children (Robert Miles) becoming a “uhh, early 2000s!” song on Instagram reels should probably sadden me, but also? I’m just happy that more people can be introduced to one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It immediately puts me at peace no matter what I’m experiencing. Genuinely wonderful.

There are few downsides to my job. One of them is the perpetual availability of Dots, which is the most dangerous candy in the world and I should not be allowed near it.

There's a local pizza joint that def used AI to put their website together and the visual dissonance is so, so funny to me. This website should be trying to steal Bitcoin, not selling me pizza.

A reminder for those of you who are new around here that I have not one, not two, but *three* art books published over @ www.blurb.com/user/JamesRuic, as well as the excellent Emotional Abstracts from @yazan.desktopgeneration.com, which I served as editor on. Check 'em out, y'all. :~)
