I kind of feel the way I felt about the “Ocen Gate” project. I know nothing about deep sea diving but I felt like the guy building that thing didn’t know much more than me. Same with these AI tools that tell you what you want to hear and nothing else. Not all AI is equal but these are just bad.

It's also full of skilled workers who warn us that on-the-job AI is producing tech debt at unimaginable scale, seriously depreciating the quality of the tools we use today, and setting us up for painful reckonings in the future. 39/

The cat’s out of the bag! The official Critical Role Pride shirt, featuring Dorian on his steed Coriolis, with subtle bits of Orym and Latin, by yours truly. 🥰🥰🥰 This one’s available in all the CR shops now! AD: Adrienne Cho. Painted in Procreate.

A shot of the official Critical Role Pride T-shirt for 2026. It’s black, and features Dorian Storm sitting astride his equine dragon Coriolis, wearing the armour of a 15th century knight. He's carrying a banner saying, "How do you want to slay this?”. A green favour with tiny white flowers, obviously given to him by his lover Orym, is tied to his right arm. In the background, fractal letters suggest an illuminated manuscript. The Latin text reads, "amore fiunt homines" - "It's love that makes people."A shot of the official Critical Role Pride T-shirt for 2026.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

On Monday I sent a plea to the client who owes me $24k for months and months of work, owed to me since September, saying that if they do not pay me by the end of the month I will lose my apartment and that they should show some humanity and pay the invoice They of course have not paid the invoice

I never finished my tale of Circadia, not just because I can't say it in words (it was going to be mostly illustrations, when I still could paint daily), but also because it's difficult to follow a "non classical" path of storytelling and stay compelling for others.

In her new essay for Speculative Insight, Donna Glee Williams explores the ways Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey really needs to be challenged. Listen to her explanation in this video, and then read the essay: www.speculativeinsight.com/essays/hero-journey

I’m looking for work again, being not-so-slowly replaced by ChatGPT, and feeling unusually despondent about this time because what little there is out there is merely computer bullshit or ways to flatter rich people, which I’ve never had the talent in. This is the first time I’ve been scared 🫤

The people who shape opinion in mainstream media are mostly from the upper middle and wealth classes. They got there because of nepotistic privilege and they keep their jobs, and make more money, because they tell the wealthy what they want to hear, even as that becomes more and more fascistic.
