I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

Check out this thread from @gentlekevs.bsky.social, one of the developers who worked on El Paso, Elsewhere about a portion of the work they did on that game.

Found a video of one of my first tests of the glowing doors on El Paso, Elsewhere's Aperture!
On this level I had to add more surrealism to the visuals, so I started thinking of ways to surprise players by adding stuff they haven't seen yet (+)

Happy new year everyone. 2024 was a good-weird year for me. Still taking time to recover before I do more things in 2025.
Got hopefully a couple of good things lined up.

Jacob's content is the best kind of monkey paw stuff: I the player get really fun stuff to express myself with, but the DM can get new brilliant ways to kill me or my innocence.
This is because Jacob is evil (in a good way). Evil people make good DND content. Jacob is aligned Good Evil.

Fildais is the saint of archery in Wildtales. Despite typically being a fertility goddess, archery in wildtales is mainly associated with the Fianna, who often bring good blessings to the lands they travel through.

This is why techbros are pushing genAI writing. They don’t want to democratise creativity, they want to replace you. They don’t even want to spend $25 on an article. They want to spend nothing.
