Oh so seeing as it's #tdov and circumstances have recently gone in a Downwards Direction...
Hi! I'm Alyssa, half of indie TTRPG studio Biscuit Fund Games and freelance proofreader and copyeditor for YOUR project. Here's some stuff I've worked on! I have an ABUNDANCE of free time and no money!
GenAI has done a lot of things that are terrible and awful, but the pettiest thing it has done to affect me is make me despise sparkles
Seeing ✨️ turns my stomach now. It encrusts the digital world like limpets, a sign of an ideology that will burn a forest down to make a train ticket into a podcast
In today's issue of "adverts promoting AI", Google postulates a solution to a relatable everyday problem: what if YOU wanted to GO ON HOLIDAY but you have been invited to TOO MANY WEDDINGS? AI can READ YOUR CALENDAR FOR YOU, something HUMAN EYES CANNOT DO!
Clown shit
Extreme dopamine response from overcoming my executive dysfunction and doing housework. I am lying on a changed, made bed that has a clear aisle to the left of it that _isn't_ dusty and I feel like I have just done a line of cocaine
sitting on the sofa wrapped around your girlfriend, eating a cold steak bake and feeling your post-laser hair removal skin settle while she plays marvel rivals and reports her teammates for using slurs in allchat
is it wrong to call it tranquility?
So did youtube just apply automatic ai chapter creation for videos or something? They are bloody everywhere.
This has had the knock-on effect of making it way easier to scroll through videos on the PS5 client when you previously had to go 10 seconds at a time. I am not sure how I feel about this.
Like this has to be machine-done, I don't think Vincent Pizzapasta or his staff are going back to a project from 2019 and adding generic-ass chapter titles.
I am so fucking mad at myself for finding this convenient. I am like Data experiencing pleasure in anger for the first time.
We are at 66/75!! Thank yall that have subscribed so far! We still have a little to go and even shorter time to meet subscription goal, so please, share with friends and family tell them to pass it along too!
A serious one today.

Taking lil man to the vets for the first time since we got him for a checkup. So far we've not even put him in the carrier and he's given me six new scratch marks moving him to another room. More bloody rents in my flesh to come I assure you
I think adverts have genuinely fucked with my head and damaged it. Just got a fifteen-second advert for Nandos of all things and it filled me with so much brain static I vividly imagined slitting all of the Happy Advert People's throats
It bothers me immensely that there are Things to Do but me, the Organism that can Do those Things, cannot Do those Things precisely because there are so many Things to Do. There is a simple solution here but apparently not?
Reminded myself of my halcyon youth when for reasons I can't fathom I liked to get up at 4am to do my homework, read gay fanfiction and yearn, because 4am is obviously the right time to be doing that
It is proof positive that not only was I an adorable child, but also a clinically psychopathic one
song that smells like you're 12 getting up at 4am to sneakily do your homework you forgot to do yesterday but you end up reading gay super smash bros melee fanfiction
(I know it's from the remake shush) this has been going through my head all day, it's really... really nostalgic for some reason. Naturally, this plays while you piss on rock golems in a club

Mister Moo here is looking pretty self-satisfied for a kitty that decided to do a 2am poo on the stairs invisible to human eyes until they stepped into it.
Everyone say "Thank You, Mister Poo" so he never forgets his sins
@darthxareliya.bsky.social this one's for you bestie 🥰

I *am* sorry. but not enough to not post it <:3c
Autistic girlie spends the entirety of a shopping trip out thinking about how sauropods are the coolest and I luff them, boggles the mind of her girlfriend
I’ve been quiet over the last few days while I process this. My cat has been to the vets and needs expensive treatment.
I’m opening up painting comissions to help pay for it.
Any help would be amazing, especially sharing
Damn Mewgenics still has the best final boss music for a game I've heard in years. A 17-minute segmented gospel jazz diss track is a hard thing to top
"THE SUBJUGATORS OF THE WORLD WILL SKIN ALIVE THE MEEK" and "YOUR LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING / YOUR HEART IS JUST A HOLE" are genuine vocal stims
Yeah, I'm an Edgy TTRPG Designer. This Semi-Historical Adventure Module I'm writing has a MECHANICAL PENALTY for playing a NON-MALE CHARACTER*

Finding out that the long-running funky Christian TCG Revelation has embraced AI slop for card art is heartbreaking to me.
You were always such a fascinating game with a deliciously top-down design philosophy and card art to match. Now... look at you. Just... look at you.
