I can't wait for you all to "play" my piece in this zine.
Did some experimenting with formats which was really fun and will drop copies of The Magic Letter at Aaron's booth as he has graciously allowed me to.

Remember how, in 1984, the Party runs a massive bureaucratic operation to constantly falsify and invent and rewite history in order to make the Party seem infallible? We've done that. But for no reason at all. And given the task to a stupid machine that turns rainforests into carbon in the process.
When I searched to see if Mary Shelley and Jane Austen could have met in Bath, Google AI informed me that they were, in fact, sisters...

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people
no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Spoilers for Andor ahead:
Every review I've read mentioned Lonni being shot by Luthen but I thought it was clever misdirection based on the confrontation scene before Dedra Meero was arrested, and he was actually shot by Imperials?

@goobernuts.itch.io 's blog-borne document / development of Mangayaw is imho the best way to make a TTRPG. (Also Mangayaw is dope.)

@ehronlime.bsky.social makes mechanically spry games about place + belonging. One of the scene's most supportive figures; the way he's consistently run Playtest Zero over the years is aspirational.
@momatoes.com can do it all---game design, writing, arting, layout design---beautifully. And does.

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

I say this every year, but in case anyone else needs to hear it: not everything you write/create needs to sell or have some deeper purpose. It’s okay to experiment, to not worry if every sentence is perfect, to just write something for the fun of it that no one else needs to ever see.

As someone who works in the game industry, let me assure you: people DO care how you made it and they will express their dissatisfaction, no matter what AI companies claim.
This is part of an ad fo AI Facebook showed me.
That claim might be true for most of the general population. I hope it's not, but it might well be.
It is very clearly not true for my core audience. A big % of them very much DO care.
