Drawing from May 2024

I wanted to draw one of the NPCs from our #DungeonsandDragons game set in #IcewindDale. I've missed really getting into a drawing and actually finishing it!

Excited to have backed HABROMANIA by Symphony_Sonata!

The art style is stunning and, from the snippets I've seen from the demo, I hope I'm going to enjoy the psychological horror elements and the dry humorous style of Alice's dialogue!

HABROMANIA
A dreamy choice-based misadventure game where Alice falls down a rabbit hole and out of her mind.

God I fucking feel this today... I'm sick of depression. I'm sick of feeling like a hollowed out husk. I'm sick of clawing myself out of this fucking hellhole of an emotional pit, just to be sucked back down into it again.

People who disparage humanities and social sciences will come next for the science that they don't see as translating directly into making money.

They want a vapid and uncurious world. Don't give them an inch.
How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

My depression's being an utter bastard, so I've had to find anything that'll refocus my brain & keep it busy so it can't beat me up. Haven't done any digital painting in like 3-5 years, but between wanting to try out Krita & being hyperfixated on my D&D character... 👀 #digitalpainting #fuckAI #WIP

Drawing of my current d&d character, Ketu, the Hexblood Eldritch Knight (she/they). Not fully content with this depiction, but pleased with the "I'm 1000% done" energy she got going on. They're probably just fed up with Icewind Dale's political SNAFUs, as per usual!

I followed this advice and finally got my money from itch.

Sharing in case someone with the same issue doesn't know about it.

i think a lot of conversations about whether or not a game "is safe" would be more productively shaped by:

- how risky is this game
- are players aware of and consenting to this risk
- what are tools players can use to mitigate risk

Welp, it's 2am. I hyperfixated and read a 340+ page novel in under half a day. I fear I may regret this in the morning.

The sentiment that ttrpgs should be played as written, to produce the specific experience designer intended regularly pops up, so I finally want to share some of my thoughts on it, as it runs counter to how I experience ttrpgs as player and designer and to why I even enjoy them as a creative form.

Howdy.

Things are fucked for a lot of folks, but it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to this #GoFundMe.

This is going to help @cha0ticstupid.bsky.social, our pets, and I get a fresh start away from the epicenter of fascism. #mutualaid #donateorshare

Had the absolute pleasure of getting to witness the Genitorturers live alongside the wonderful @ksandrarpg.bsky.social and Partners!

My younger self, who parked their VtM:B PC in The Last Round to listen to Lecher Bitch on repeat, was very happy.
