I'm just a voice in a crowd of voices hearing ai bros say our resistance is futile
But it's not. The thing we resist is costly.
It's destructive. It's depreciating. It isn't sustainable. It's being sued left and right. It's regulatable.
And it sucks anyway.
I shall continue resisting it

I'm firmly against showcasing anything with AI. This particular creator used to not use it, and his product was better for it.
I reviewed this with my hope that I can convince him to drop further AI use. :) his work deserves better.

We've made the painful decision to lay off....buying any of your trash games once you replace a ton of your staff with AI
We appreciate you bearing with us as we navigate this difficult time finding games made by people and studios that don't lack soul and sense whom we can support with our money

Welp that's Elden Ring the Board Game's second crowdfund shipping paid and now Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the Second Era's second crowdfund paid
I'm broke now but I have apparently hundreds of hours of great games to play

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky.
So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons!
Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

I have several copies of my own book, so I took one, signed it, put a message and dropped it off at a park's take-a-book. I truly hope someone will find it and really like it, but I put my email in too in case they want feedback.
Wonder if they would recognize my name 🤔

We went around stuffing old fantasy paperbacks into those lending library posts that some parks have today.
We get a ton of paperbacks every time we go thrifting so it was time to look through and purge the redundant or undesired.
I hope they find lovely new homes :)

YouTube growth has stagnated so badly that I think a playbook of "only promote my YT on YT" is plausible (maybe always was, but here we are).
