We're working with the amazing @stvulture.bsky.social on a special Caves of Qud collectible. Here's a sneak peek:

These politicians aren't in disarray. They fucking hate you. They don't work for you.

the power distribution triangle that Star Citizen used to have, with three extremes each labeled: "Dems [are] controlled opposition," "Dems are bad at politics," and "Dems have a doomed liberal ideology." Implying that the truth is some combination of these, and various events suggest one or the other.

Guys just thought of this: what if we wrest power away from the capitalist ruling class and create a society not based on the exploitation of a laboring class

There's an ai nostalgiaslop picture floating around of a McDonalds in 1974, menu board all absolute gibberish.

One item, schloske, is listed as $9.50.

Adjusted for inflation that is $66.21 in 2025 dollars.

Must have been an enormous fucking schloske.

China’s clean-energy revolution will reshape markets and politics The world’s biggest manufacturer now has an interest in the world decarbonising

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

We're clear-eyed: Every AI company and investor has massive incentive to hype the most glorious AI case. So the technology might never live up to its promise.

    But this would require every CEO of America's seven biggest companies to be collectively delusional about where they're spending trillions in combined capital.

wow is it possible for seven people to all be wrong about something?

Troika In My Pocket Greetings all! Last year we got the idea to make a cut down (but complete) edition of the Troika rules we could give out at conventions for free. It's proven to be so popular that we have had to offer...

New free Troika just appeared: melsonian-arts-council.itch.io/troika-numin...

If you’re happy about this imagine how happy you would be if workers became the whole ruling class and next morning rent was abolished and all surplus went back into society instead of being appropriated by capitalists

Digital illustration. In the foreground on the left is my character Lubi (he/him). He is visible from his knees and to his shoulders, we do not see his head. He is wearing a cape with a heart symbol on it, and a black tunic. In his right hand, he's holding a red dagger. In the background is a meadow and a building. The meadow is textured using photos, and sprinkled with semi-abstract, colouful flowers, inspired by the children's illustrations of Lidija Osterc that I grew up with. There is a forest seen behind the building in the upper right corner. The building has white walls and a red roof. It is referenced from a photo of St. Peter's Church in Starigrad (Croatia). The picture has a quiet, late summer/early autumn feeling to it (well, at least to me it does lmao). The juxtaposition of the person with a dagger and the quiet meadow raise uncertainty of the true mood of this image.

In October's experiment, I wanted to do a mixture between a grittier fantasy feel, and a storybook illustration. I really like the result, the palette feels nostalgic, and I'm happy that I'm finally getting better at remembering to use my photos.
