Hello bluesky!
This page is me posting:
▪︎ DnD (running Curse of Strahd, love Dimension 20)
▪︎ Gaming (mainly RPGs; love Dragon Age, Divinity and Pathologic)
▪︎ Art (mostly fanart, I'm also a game artist I guess)
▪︎ Compsci (sorry)
▪︎ Politics (I'm queer and a leftist and this is a warning)

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

I'm genuinely concerned this is precisely the sort of thing that people might increasingly turn to AI to handle for them, but it is absolutely incapable of ever outputting a list of names so mind shattering that we'd still be talking about them 31 years later

Sometimes I think about the American names a Japanese developer came up with for Fighting Baseball on the SNES.
Tag yourself. I’m either Sleve McDichael or Bobson Dugnutt sound good.

You get all these artistic depictions of the Chicxulub asteroid that have it as, like, this big glowing rock in the sky, like the moon from Majora's Mask, and "oh, what would that have been like!? Imagine the stress!"
But the reality is almost worse.

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.
This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.
So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵

People need to boycott this show and not just half ass. Shame everyone who plans on watching it. This isn't about Eurovision, it's about Israel getting away with committing genocide because THERE ARE NEVER ANY CONSEQUENCES. They should be untouchable by now. Everybody needs to walk the fucking walk.
Eurovision has allowed Israel to compete in 2026.
Ireland, Spain, Slovenia, and the Netherlands have pulled out of the competition following the decision.

I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno what‘s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

Even though it's freeware/pwyw so it's not technically on sale like my main paid projects are, you can learn some things about designing a turn-based RPG for 50% off of $0.00 I suppose lol
"A Simple Book About How To Design a Turn-based RPG" is a pay what you want, short 16k word book for anyone who wants to make those kinds of games but isn't sure about the whats or hows

I think everything I ever create will have something of fable or merlin bbc in it because I just keep minding my own business and then suddenly head in hands that's not an original thought I straight up took it from one of those and never realized
