If you can't contribute (and I get it, I do), I beg you to share and boost and spread this post so maybe it can reach more people, who would want to help if they just knew one of ours was in trouble.

Despite support from famous friends in TTRPGs like @forbeck.com and @owenkcstephens.bsky.social, this fundraiser just isn't generating the resources I need to survive. I'm not sure why. No matter how much they post about it, it doesn't translate into donations. gofund.me/0a3abf909

If your primary defense against folk being of the opinion that you're an asshole & lousy person is to bring up lack of prosecution, there's a good chance that not only are you an asshole & lousy person but you might also be willfully ignorant of how common that is in domestic abuse. No context. 😈

A trio of BioWare veterans have formed Edmonton-based Studio Reset, and their first game is a neon-noir mystery set in Canada. 🍁 Had a great chat with them about their X-Files inspirations, managing the scope of both their games and the studio, representing Canada in this debut project and more!

ps ps ps support independent journalism so i can keep writing stories like this and you can keep reading stories like this and maybe we work together to establish a genuine historical record of this industry. no ai needed.

Four Pillars Gaming published hundred of AI-generated profiles over the past four months and when people asked to be taken down, they doubled down, defended their process, and refused. The ramifications of hallucinatory LLM "histories" threaten to erode truth and destroy the historical record.

A sci-fi/horror duology that I feel stands among my best work, but just hasn't managed to garner much real attention. (In part because I had to change the name of the series well after release for reasons beyond my control.) Link is to the first of the two, but both are available. amzn.to/4vcLGXQ

Insecurity is such an odd beast, because it's more about self-perception than reality. Someone can be average or above average in reality, yet their self-perceptions of being inadequate is where they often damage themselves and, transitively, push that damage on us. Rehashed, I know.

My fellow geek and partner, Gillian, felt like today made a good nerdy landing pad for the evolution of our relationship. Mario Day felt like a solid day to get married, so we went to the justice of the peace and did a just us ceremony. We're low-key like that. 😀

We met in an online D&D game ran by a mutual friend in late 2018. Met in person in early 2019 and stuck together every since. We bought a house together in 2024. I guess we were suppose to do that the other way around. 😜

The last time I drew a normal elephant was back in 2013. And I tried to be "interesting" by having the elephant in a rearing pose. In truth, it looks like it's just an elephant trying to stand on two legs. So, here is a 13-year update on some fun animal art! Available for licensing as stock art!

Working people don’t just want to make a living, they want to have a life.

In the greater scheme of things (seriously, be safe out there), the following is pretty trivial and of no import. But, I've been online since '93 (a 9600 Baud connection) and the following speeds for my home connection warm my nerd heart. Local fiber is quite nice. :)

NGL, it feels like a terrible time to be launching a crowdfunder but it's been in the planning for more than two years and so... here we are. Please consider signing up to be notified when we launch or sharing this info with possibly interested parties! ❤️🙏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/gre...

Easiest way to get me to like an anti-hero, righteous incredulity at imbalances systemic issues and methodology. Do a crime against a crappy person while ranting at them about their piss-poor behavior or greedy sociopathy? Yummy frosting on the cake.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting
