If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

Can I Play That?

@caniplaythat.com

For this Indie Spotlight Marijn played An Unplayable Game?!

Limited controls and a few assists turn this free game into a thoughtful exercise in accessible game design. Showing that accessibility isn't about removing challenge, but making it possible.

I have almost one interest payment covered with the coms i'm already working on, which makes it easier to slowly save up my normal salary & get out of debt within a year or so!
that being said, i would still love to do 1 or 2 more for the meds i have to get tomorrow!
dm me if you're interested! ✨

pears @pearsfears.bsky.social · 17d

In June my cat Mischa had an emergency resulting in a 5k vet bill. After that the 400€ per month for meds + special food and the debt interest i have to pay have almost maxed out my account completely.
So I'm opening 3-5 sketch commission slots!
If you're interested DM me with refs to claim a slot 🧡

In like any other game I’d be shaking my head at them streamlining it but I need you to understand that you don’t unlock the jobs system in the original game until FORTY HOURS IN

Sketch illustration of Shambles (tiny male character) and their friend's OC, Jill (female character). Jill has shoulder-length hair and sideswept bangs, wearing a medallion necklace. She appears in a close-up bubble to the righthand side of the image, looking down and smiling at what she's holding.

On the left is a view from the waist down to her mid-thigh. Attached to the belt loop on her pants is Shambles inside of one of two glass bottles. He is dressed in a patchwork jacket lined with fur and dark pants. It's a tight fit inside of the bottle because his feet and hands are pressed against the sides, but he looks up with a slightly awed expression.

A finished illustration featuring bg3’s Karlach and my tav, Nimue Silverhorn. Nimue is sitting on Karlach’s lap, looking back so surprised at some catching them kissing. Karlach has her eyes closed because she’s been kissed silly by Nimue and is lost in the sauce. They are at camp, in the Underdark region.

Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room

For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)

shawn @mulchy.bsky.social · 5d

new: federal agents have targeted rideshare drivers at o'hare on at least ten separate days since october 10.

in some cases, agents returned to abduct drivers multiple times in a single day, taking as many as ten to 20 people each time.

Baby pigeon mystery.
My pigeon book is here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/rosem...

A six-panel comic. In panel 1, text says "People often wonder, why don't I see baby pigeons? Here's where they're hiding:" and there's an egg with an arrow pointing to a question mark, then an arrow pointing to an adult pigeon. Panel 2 says "Pigeons don't nest in trees. They nest in sheltered spaces on or in buildings. This keeps their babies safe from weather and predators." There's a pigeon nesting in a sheltered cavity in the side of a building. Panel 3 says "The hidden babies look like this: like moldy potatoes, but cute" and there are two baby pigeons looking, well, like moldy pink and gray potatoes with yellow fuzz. Panel 4 says "Older baby pigeons hide in plain sight. When they leave the nest, they're adult-sized, but they're still young and learning" and a fledgling pigeon is flying out of a building saying "aaaaaa". Panel 5 says "Here's how to identify these young pigeons" and shows a fledgling pigeon with arrows pointing to these features: eyes may be gray-brown, pale-edged feathers, smaller "nose" (cere), subdued hues, and looks worried. Panel 6 says "Scientifically speaking, though, all pigeons are sweet babies" and there are three very cute round pigeons, a gray, white, and red one, with arrows pointing to them to make things look scientific.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

I Want You to Understand Chicago
Politics Chicago
2025-11-08

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time.

Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again.

An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next.

Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st.

Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…
