Closing out 2025 by ending @gammakoruchador.bsky.social and @catastrophiclyss.bsky.social in repeated and violently funny fashion in Ultimate Chicken Horse (or other party games if we feel like it)! Come on over and hang this fine New Year's Eve!

I've listened to #TAZBalance a minimum of 6 times and am now going through the Graphic Novels. You'd think I'd be mentally prepped because I know exactly what happens. Yet here I am, crying when Julia comes up, especially in The Eleventh Hour. Damn you, @travismcelroy.bsky.social for cutting onions

The holidays are great and all, but I miss my d&d party cause we haven't played in what feels like forever and it bums me out

Absolute bullshit, and authors, if Harlequin has your foreign rights, you should also complain.
French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this

I went to Galaxy Con with one goal: all things Critical Role for the weekend. That goal was happily achieved. Also Liam said "I see you Tempest!" when they had all the cosplayers show off during the panel Saturday and I'm telling myself it was for me.

I turned my music down so I could tell mom about how I pulled/twisted something in my back and am in pain this morning. Turn the music up and what's the first line I hear? "And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart." Thanks, Fall Out Boy.

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

I went to Detroit to see The Academy Is... a few weeks ago, posted about it on Insta the following Monday, and TODAY the guitarist posted one of my photos in a post with photos their photographer that's on the road with them took. No other fan photos were posted. Just mine, along side with a pro's.

If you use genAI assets as placeholders, you’re just as bad as anyone using genAI in final product releases. The damage to the environment, artists, your fellow employees and you has already been done. No I won’t play your fucking game (reposted to fix a typo)
Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

Hey remember that campaign I started in June where I rolled 2 naturals 1s in the first session? That character is currently petrified while precariously perched on a desk. These are fun times stressing if someone's gonna throw the new statue off the desk and into the ground

I'm still processing that.
