happy new e.m. carroll bloodborne comic day to all who celebrate

Impeccably uncanny homie Morgan Carroll has released a new Bloodborne comic that of course obsesses me. A reflection on one of my favorite themes through the weirdest, saddest, scariest and most poignant character ever created, with exquisite sensibility. To die for. emcarroll.itch.io/milkweed

keep trying to explain to my partner the difference between different fragrance types because they keep calling anything they put on cologne 😔

"But my nostalgia! But my favorite morning word game! But this mid video game! But my sport! But my chicken sandwich!" Hey, real quick, what ARE you willing to give up to not support our oppressors?

it’s always good to remember that just because you have a great personal or professional relationship with someone doesn’t mean others have not had bad experiences with that person or that they not been unreasonable or unprofessional

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

many of my favourite games were made using free asset packs, stock RPG maker assets, stuff bought off asset stores. If you abandon caring about the process and just AIgen garbage, people will know - not just because of how it looks, but because your lack of interest in your own work will be evident
