Happy New Year! 🎊 Here’s a recent commission I completed - a unicorn frog, or frogicorn! This was a fun one as I’ve always had a thing for unicorns since I was a little girl 🦄 #frogart

Remember to stock up on lemons today for your New Year Lemon Pig-making needs! 🍋

Image depicts the following, which is the text transcription. It's very cute! "Lemon Piglet (11) For good luck in the New Year, a lemon piglet is a must! Insert four toothpicks into a lemon for legs. Slit pointed end for mouth to hold shiny penny, and two cuts for the ears. Eyes are cloves. Crush and curl foil for silly tail."

Josh hits it.

I prefer to use my own damn eyes and ears, and they tell me that video games are not a better place thanks to The Game Awards. Careers are not made, prestige is not accrued, horizons are not broadened. I do not fault developers for grasping at any handhold available to them in this rapidly decaying business beset by lecherous consolidation and ravenous profit-seeking, and hope that more than a handful have been able to stay in the business longer thanks to the show’s exposure. But I think The Game Awards stance on the industry is exceedingly clear: Things are fine just the way they are.

Everyone knows this isn’t true, but we are feeble in our articulations, rote in our responses to cruelties we protest. It is perturbing that we’ve become accustomed to the Hellscape Preamble, a boilerplate paragraph where socially conscious writers will acknowledge layoffs, industry turmoil, and global conflict, before running down their list of best games of the year. We make for ourselves the world we write, and we can only write the world we imagine. I’m begging you to consider how small our imaginations have gotten, that we will turn away from the capaciousness of our hearts and minds when it comes to video games in the name of a good time. Tune into The Game Awards or not, but consider the kind of person it is made for, and if that aligns with the world you want to lie in.

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you

Terry Pratchett & Rob Wilkins @terryandrob.bsky.social · last yr.

Shortly before he died, Terry Pratchett assured me that, if there is an afterlife, he would give me a ring and let me know. That was ten years ago - and still no call.

From which, incidentally, I draw no firm conclusions. What if there was an afterlife, but with no phone signal?

But of course there is one place where Terry indisputably lives on: in the pages of his books and in the minds of the millions of readers around the world who turn those pages and continue to find them funny and true.

For, while his words live on, so does Terry, and that will be the case, no question, not just for this one decade so quickly gone, but for many further decades to come.

So let me join Lyn and Rhianna in raising a glass today to the magical persistence of books and to Sir Terry; gone but still so very firmly with us.

Sometimes you just have to lay down the law

You don't find there to be any kind
of magic in the way the randomness
collates into something tangible with
generative Al?

Nope

the enemy, made by the enemy, and
it kills us a little every time it is used

There is magic in random juxtaposition,
and that's why tarot exists

Tarot doesn't require destroying the
biosphere and stealing from creatives

a picture of a man giving a fabulous new giant wooden horse to a group of people in a walled city. A very cool trojan horse! The meme is written over, labelled as:

"VN devs" giving "gamers" a cool new "videogame". But actually, the cool new "videogame" is just a "whole ass novel but only one line at a time" in disguise! Perhaps gamers will learn to love novels.
