As a tall person I cannot offer to reach something on a high shelf for a stranger, yet if they ask me I must oblige. This is the law of the giants
The game I'm working on heavily features the Goddess Fortuna so sometimes I draw her.
Congrats to everyone who got a shoutout in the Telegraph today, although I don't know where they got the idea that Bluesky is a place where people are kind to each other. This is site is not kind. This is a PvP server where you get randomly matched with an American who has misunderstood your joke.

Hi so, I'm struggling a bit money-wise right now so I'm sharing my games again! I'm also available for Art, Writing, Game Design, graphics and layout work, or consulting on any of those! That applies to both #ttrpgs and #Larp

The show must go on and this time it WILL kill you After all, art demands sacrifice. Coming soon, a mix between the Standing Ovation system designed for Pirouette and the fantastic Carta system by @catlinggun.bsky.social Every stage is different and this audience might just be worth dying for.
I don't know why everyone says hands are the easiest part to draw. Seems to me like they can be pretty challenging.
IT'S ANNIVERSARY MERCH TIME! This time we hired the wonderful and very talented @onsta.bsky.social to make TWO special items for us! These items will be available until the end of August so get them while they're here! store.dftba.com/collections/...
This might be a bit of a hot take (and very much isn’t targeted at anyone to be super clear, just my general experiences over the last 8 months seeing people talk about my game) but I don’t think Girl Frame is niche or has a small audience, speaking as the person who has the sales numbers
one million dollars to evil transgender women

I'm not afraid of snakes, mine just loves to frighten me.
You have to care about kids who aren't "yours." You live in a society, and that society extends to children. You have to fight for trans kids, even if your child isn't trans. You have to care about vaccinations and disability even if you're childless. They aren't property.
My favorite at the Denver Art Museum yesterday, a porcelain sculpture of a burned book by artist Liu Danhua.
Sometimes I think I am gonna quote post and then I realize I do not have anything to add. :)

Hey folks. I hate lighting the aid beacon, but I really need it. My rent: 1400. My paycheck on Wednesday: 1407. 7 dollars for me. Yeah, that's not enough to survive on til the 7th of next month - it's not even enough to get to work. Please help. ko-fi.com/theleonamapl...

In the grimdark future of Dungeons and Kittens there are Goofys and there are Plutos. You can eat the Plutos.
Hendrik is writing an ashcan about nuns@napel.itch.io · 5d agoWe shouldn't be too down on a game like Dungeons & Kittens winning an Ennie even though it lacks imagination or innovation. We should be down on it because the game re-introduce the civilized-savage dichotomy into a setting about talking adventure cats on the first page of its introduction.
![Humans have disappeared from the planet, leaving only a few remains dotted throughout the newly lush vegitation. [...] However, humans did leave something for animals: the gifts of speech and imagination, the ability to anticipate and predict, the power to invent. But not all creatures accepted those gifts. There are animals who speak, walk, and use objects and tools; and there are beasts, who remain speechless and fierce, and kept their original nature.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uer5fkbpt7o4ht5lyp7uwk57/bafkreidxv67ry5izssk4gqwt2znuwidplmqcvd72xs5uvb2t2kcahe6pqu)

I have complicated feelings about "cozy". Like, enjoy what you enjoy, but a lot of self-labeled cozy media is deliberately sanitized to the point where a media diet of only coziness makes you a little suspect in my eyes.
You see, I am a man of...unique tastes. A thread of objects that can be found in my home.
Sometimes you lie in bed thinking about the game you're working on with a duel chorus stuck in your head and you realize your concept is not Utena enough.
