Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

I hope it's not, and I hope you have a quick road to recovery regardless of what it is.

Indie studio releases 10k human-made game assets so devs “don’t turn to AI” - Dexerto Indie creators got a boost as a new 10k human-made asset pack launched to help developers avoid relying on AI tools.

More coverage of our 10,000 Game Assets Pack, this time on Dexerto. We really do appreciate all the support everyone is giving this - basically it makes the last year of working on it full time worthwhile & spurs us on to create more assets!! www.dexerto.com/gaming/indie... #gamedev #indiedev

The head of our org ended the 30 minutes saying she learned a lot and liked that I kept it upbeat, so maybe I can resume breathing normally

Today I had to give a software demo at work in front of a lot of colleagues from different offices. This quarter left me too busy to prepare a slide deck so I had to wing it and decided to basically treat it like a stand up comedy routine, cracking jokes and doing it all live
I... think it went ok??

I'm so excited to have bandwidth for anything creative. Soon, I hope!

Hmm... It's 6:30pm. Do I drink a coffee now and burn the midnight oil, or take a melatonin in an hour and try to get into the office for 5:30 tomorrow...

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

The thing about having three monitors is that it makes you want to have four monitors.

I don't know why but this dolphin looks like it's headed to the pub for a pint.

I checked last night and it looks like the next season comes out in December. I'm pretty excited! S1 wasn't perfect but it was REALLY enjoyable for me, so I'm pretty pumped to see more.

Wait, is season 2 out???

I need to invest more time into this kids D&D game. I had decided to just wing everything so it's not a stress, but I'm finding that I'm getting flustered at the table trying to invent so much off the cuff. Now that I've established a few things I think I might start prepping some stuff in advance.

Alas, probably not. I suppose it's possible that it's in a box at my mother's house, but I have doubts.

Why do you think his outfit is stained red? It was a dark, dark time.

Really fun #ttrpg session tonight. The outing was meant to be small (just exploring a hex) but I rolled an interesting random encounter. A pirate ghost fighting off some apes. The players got involved and nearly died as the ghost clung to them, wicking their life away begging silently for help.

Oh holy shit!! That Liberator ship! My whole life I wondered where it came from. I had a little die cast metal toy of it when I was a kid and never knew what (if anything) it was from. Thanks for solving a lifelong mystery for me.

maybe i am going insane

it should be illegal for both people in a parenting set to be sick at once

Hahaha incredible. That's a great prank, harmless but funny.

That was my college drink! I haven't had it in years.

This is the biggest oil pastel painting I've finished so far, at 22" tall. It is a study from my own photograph, and there is a large watercolour underpainting propping up the oil pastels, which really helped give me some incredible colour vibration that, sadly, the camera really can't capture.

Happy Trans Day of Remembrance. I love trans people. I love your hearts, minds and souls.

I've proudly committed my life's work to advocating each day for Trans children's right to a safe education & a real childhood just as they are, filled w/ the friends they love

There are ppl fighting for you

FRPG Player Tip: Never be afraid to ask out loud, “I wonder if what’s going on in the campaign is _____?” Knowing what you and your character are thinking will help the GM fine-tune the story as it unfolds — or might even inspire them to take a different approach based on your speculation.

I'm thinking I might solicit some folks from online (if we know each other IRL that's cool too) to test run my rules light Fallout knockoff ttrpg game. It would probably be something like 2-3 sessions online, on a Fri-Sat evening (EST). Not yet sure when but lemme know if I should reach out.
