It's deeply frustrating, having written a good deal about tarot art, seeing the kickstarter market saturated with AI art decks. Most of them never get funded, but there's so many low effort designs getting in the way of more serious approaches.

The thing that’s driving me insane is that oil markets are still trading on the presumption that this will normalize soon. They’re scraping sludge off the bottoms of the tanks in Cushing, but every other day, they continue to run optimistic headlines, and bet on nothing more than hopes and dreams.

this is all so fucking instructive if they would take a step back and learn something. you cannot let this happen ever again. when you are weak and crumbling, you cannot revive your prospects by painting everything gold and declaring a victorious golden age. it makes it look even weaker and rotted

The Guardian Building (built 1929) in Detroit might just be the closest thing to a truly American cathedral.

I actually have a general hypothesis I would love to see somehow tested which is that there are more fictional japanese high schools than real ones

uel@greaterrealityarea.net · 2w ago

Here’s the thing about E33, DE, Metaphor, BG3, etc.: there is a deeply hungry market for RPGs that aren’t about high schoolers.

I think there’s a solemn/gruesome problem with bluesky which is, tech no longer wants to coexist with the arts. Nothing we do here makes money because capital still selects for the direct capture platforms. The economy of all of us paying each other is self-defeating. We need real fucking buy-in.

Someone should fix this

it’s also artificial scarcity stateside, allocation bullshit
