Chimera made with parts of an RPG automaton, the leftovers of a long-dead cartoonist, and the dark essence of an entire class of Byrgenwerth occult scholars providing fantasy illustrations, Pen-and-Paper RPGs, and Comix Zines. https://wilderwhim.itch.io/
My assumption is Reddit, where 'guides' are also exceedingly full of AI bots scraping each other. It can't be long before those are useless, too. Do we return to guidebooks? Is that the ultimate solution to all of this? Spotify servers become too expensive so we return to CDs?
every era of explosive artistic creativity you can think of at least in modern times took place in a city during a period where it was possible to live and have time to make art because rent was cheap

This can't have been an easy decision for House House to make, well done to them. By chance, I read this news just as I was watching an interview with Humza Yousaf in which he speaks about the need for those with public profile, platform & security to use them for Palestine.

Ken St. Andre, creator of Tunnels & Trolls, has announced on Facebook that he is terminally ill. He has perhaps a few months to live. Ken is an unsung titan of the gaming industry, and Tunnels & Trolls was a shot across the bow of the then-nascent D&D juggernaut. T&T was the first game to look at
Wanna make the United States more equitable? Give every Native Nation two Senators in Congress. There's 575 Federally Recognized Tribes, each with broken treaties. It would add 1,150 seats. If population size doesn't matter for State Senators, then it surely shouldn't matter for us either.
Man I Just Wanna Live is an MSPaint-noir visual nightmare set to release in 2027. It currently has 1926 wishlists on Steam but it would be nice to have 2000 by the end of October so please repost
It's royalties day! Royalties should be standard practice in any creative field. If you spend your life on something, it should keep taking care of you. Today, we're passing $120,000 in royalties distributed to the artists, writers, and designers of Triangle Agency. I am so proud we get to do this.
Carlos Cisco@carloscisco.bsky.social · 5d agoI wanna give @hauntedtable.games their flowers. In addition to paying us solid rates, we also get royalties for our work on Triangle Agency. I always forget that those exist because I have no object permanence, but whenever I get the email about it it’s a reminder of what a rarity that is.
The reason young people vibe with liminal horror is that the wealthy have spent the last half century destroying all anthropological spaces they can exist in, leaving *only* non-places en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-place

as always I come back to this piece from Akimbo Comics. The nice uplifting stories are nice, but that isn't what's gonna reach me www.akimbocomics.com?p=924

Can't stop thinking about the people who want horror to be hopeful and uplifting and why that is so diametrically opposed to what horror is and why we need horror

I do not want ICE. I want universally accessible paths to citizenship. I don't want more police. I'd rather reallocate funding to preventing crime from happening by giving people Enough. I don't want the death penalty. Two wrongs still don't make a right. I hate this timeline.
IDIOT DOOM SPIRAL - Word on the street is you went around the local hostel telling people that you're a police officer and that it would be *really* fucked up if you shot yourself in the head right in front of them. That's pretty high concept, if you ask me.
This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky
I've decided to keep this sale running for another month. My event got approved for #mcatlanta and Id really like to go. I have a place to stay if I can get the room cost down. If you'd like to support me, or my #vorthos event "Storied Showdown" consider commissioning an alter today! #mtgalters
Niv Mizzet's Right Hand Squirrel@mtgcritical.bsky.social · 4w agoIn an attempt to raise enough funds to attend at least one Reality Fracture pre release in offering these artifact alters for $30 shipped. Likewise I'll accept any commissions in this style for $30 plus cost of card if I don't own one already. ❤️ Just shoot me a DM! #mtgfra #commissionsopen #alter
![“Bongo” Ballpoint pen, pencil, watercolor, acrylic paint, and a little colored pencil.
Our man is in trouble this time, reader. Art supplies are scattered around a painting of an abstract cityscape. On the canvas we see a man in a telephone booth making a frantic call to his cat, Bongo. In the foreground, an answering machine is taking his voicemail, [Leave a message at the beep] --- “Bongo, Daddy got stuck in the painting. Go get help, Bongo.” Bongo stands at the base of the easel looking at the phone. Her tail in the air and ears perked up. Whether she’ll be able to help is open to interpretation.
Artist’s note: One of my favorites from the Spooky Pants book. I was playing around with the idea of a painting coming to life (like that guy in Ghostbusters 2) and kind of fumbled my way into this version. I really draw a lot of corded phones. I won’t stop.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hkxtqxfvk4xh2roqbkebmoiq/bafkreid675pobhckre5wbkxub5qfu3vaxbls7mpuhlcidhvbbrjw6iua2e)
