Oh yeah! We played that a lot back in the day... KINDA. We ran a hybrid system called CSPM (Cyber Space Punk Master) in which we fused Space Master, this one, and Cyberpunk into our own homemade system to get all the bits we liked. Had a long campaign in it, such fond memories.

The smallest of gripes: My favorite pair of jeans were finally worn out a few days ago which means I have to face the sensory nightmare of getting a new pair which will never feel as good. Or have the leg-length I need.

Due to sickness we had to postpone our return to proper wargaming, let's see if our brains can handle it today. At least we're not diving in at the deep end...

Chavez in 2009, while being labelled as paranoid, outlines exactly what is happening today.

A drawing of a man's face, he has short brown hair and a scar over his left eyes, nothing special really, just a DnD character.

The Israeli military at the direction of its elected government and with the full support of most of its population murdered over 20,000 Palestinian children.

Still feeling poorly, but is sat here bugfixing, and for some reason there is a massive art urge gnawing at the back of my brain. Been ages since I wanted to draw, but... augh. I am not good at it.

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

And it tracks poorly with some of the work needing to be done first is bugfixing, proofreading and doing some sales text and graphic assets. None of which provides the actual writing therapy I need. It's work, but not the healing work.

Nothing new has happened for brain to be a bastard, just have been sick for a week so have been unable to do any productive work and that always ruins me on levels I can't even deal with. Writing is therapy, and when that is not working nothing is.

Is it worth jumping in again? I fell off, not because I disliked it, but there was just no reason to continue watching? It just didn't hook me.

I won't say Mark Millar predicted the current sociopolitical mindscape, because that's giving him too much credit

It's simply that he was already in that mindscape 25 years before the rest of us, and gave us a preview of it in his horrid little comic books

if you want to know how important it is for you to do this math: the fees patreon took from me in 2025 add up to roughly 3 months of income. that's 3 months of income i would have paid taxes on if i didn't deduct the fees from the 1099. 3 months of income i never actually had!

I need to find a way to get more people to watch silent films, they're missing out. There's a lot of German Expressionism that's incredible, but maybe a good start would be Filibus (1917), starring a literal queer sky pirate.

Cover of (I must remain) The Glad Cowboy, by me. It's a freeware bit of cowboy art with a smiling emoji over it.

I just released another short ttrpg zine.

(I must remain) THE GLAD COWBOY is storygame where one player plays a Glad Cowboy and the other player plays The Repressed Horror At The Thing They Did. #ttrpg #indiettrpg

I think it's pretty important to understand that algorithmically-run platforms have long understood anger and argument drives much more engagement than just showing you stuff you like, and if you find yourself being made to despair at what a platform shows you, that is the system working as intended
