Bye ghosts, I love you.

Packing up Halloween decorations for another year:

I'll be there, playin that bass

These songs come out in 2 weeks and look at this gorgeous art!

Nice when a new game idea comes together quickly especially when that game happens to be Very Silly

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Attempted some digital painting and an album cover parody for this week's Summer of Ska thing. Anthrax's Fistful Of Metal cover parodied for a pic about Ska-metallers, Redeemon! Go listen to their awesomeness! Like a ska-cover of Metallica's Blackened!

An image with the Osprey Games logo and the title of the board game Ayar framing various interlocking slices filled with close-up photos of the game board: differently coloured wooden meeple moving along various paths, other wooden pieces placed behind them, cardboard tokens arranged around a board depicting a lake, and a player board with various resources and scoring conditions.

📢 Ayar – from @flopiano.bsky.social, @mandelafg.bsky.social & @ianotoole.bsky.social – is out 1 week today: https://bit.ly/4oFvT0y

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Paraspective by housewrennt What if you were the monster?

Cheers to @housewrennt.bsky.social for making it! Only act 1 so far but hopefully more to come

Paraspective by housewrennt What if you were the monster?

Role announcement!

I play as Clive Donahue (narrator and protagonist) in Paraspective, a free to play visual novel!

Without saying too much it involves some awesome meta-narrative stuff that keeps you on your toes and leads to the "true" ending. Can you find it?

"Nova's Ship" is an extremely serious game where nothing absurd happens. Ever. (...I'm joking.)

The bloopers are too powerful for Bluesky's video limit, so here's a 2-part version in two posts—or you can watch the entire thing in one go via www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5sU...!

I am fucking super excited to announce this new thing

So there's some great artwork coming for a project I'm doing and now I'm being asked to "animate" it subtly for... reasons.

I've never animated anything before but luckily the image itself lends itself to one very easy type of animation and it's surprisingly easy for how good it looks.

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends
tech weirdo: and shitheads
np: no just my friends
tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender?
np: we just want to hang out and goof around
tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then
np: no shitheads
tw: not following

I've seen a few other people now comment on this, so I'm glad its not just me that see these two and think it's The Doctor and Companion. 😆

yeah dude a little elbow grease will help. for sure. what this job needs is my elbows slipping all over the place

Thank you Kylie, you did an awesome job of directing and pulling everything together. A great effort!

One of the things that is truly scary around the narrative - especially in HE - on AI is that there's no consideration of an off-ramp.
People are being encouraged to engage more and more deeply with tools that - effectiveness aside - are going to exist forever at the whim of tech companies provision

Everyone involved in this project has been so nice and kind, especially someone new to voice acting like myself. I learned so much! And it was all done in one month!

Oh yeah there's also this official role announcement thing. I think it's my first official one with an image and everything! Anyway, Nova's Ship is free AND excellent AND I'm in it so go and check it out for a lovely nautical story where nothing bad happens!
