To the folks emailing me with requests while using gen AI, can you please read my policy before clogging up my inbox? My review and promo policy is not rocket science. Thanks.

Reminder: I will not promote, review, recommend or support anyone using generative AI in their books or art. This includes, but is not limited to: AI covers, AI writing, AI narrations, AI character imagery and/or AI promo pics. If you use it, I am not the person for you and please do not ask for an exception or email me to see if you’ll change my mind. This is a hard rule and not one that will change. I hate gen AI passionately and will not touch it with a ten foot pole. Thank you.

I don't know what's going on, but when I watch youtube videos on my laptop (a surface pro running Mint and using the Brave browser) it gets stupidly hot. I have to believe there's some crazy computations going on behind the scenes, but I can't imagine why.

As soon as Snapmaker starts approving my uploads, I will share my color-mixing witchery with the world! I even made a printable cheat sheet so you can see exactly what you're working with and have NUMBERS so you can pick the right color. (4 is my black, it's not in any of my combos. just CMY!)

my slicer showing a little rectangle I made with squares 1 - 3 for my magenta, yellow, and blue, and then squares 5 - 19 for all the rainbow colors I made by mixing various amounts of them. 4 is not there because 4 is my black.

Hey folks, I had a big thread about AI and art that really popped off, and now I have some attention, so why don't I make a little thread of upcoming indie games I'm looking forward to that have neat artstyles? And a lot of these games will have demos to check out, so maybe give them a try?

Screenshot from Tenebris Somnia showing a creepy guy with head candles bathed in shadow

Screenshot from Hymm to the Eyeless God, showing a party based RPG with a top down view of a path through some woods, and it appears as if one of the insect like player characters is casting a spell.

Screenshot from Mandrake showing an isometric view of the interior of a building, a character called Nessa's portrait is on the left side and says "Thanks for coming to Pevenny with me Morgan. I'd have hated doing that alone."

Screenshot from Hark The Ghoul, there's a gaslight street lamp in a dark alleyway, on a crate sits a big wheel of cheese, underneath the lamp is a small rat like guy who might be cheesed to meet us.

This is some of the most heinous, ableist crap I’ve ever seen come across my timeline. A woman in a wheelchair can suddenly walk because a man asked her to dance and told her to “just try”. You can’t “try harder” your disabilities away. This is not inspirational. It’s dangerous.

There's some discussion here at the moment about bawls, which are surprisingly still available at my local servo and I had one last year, but the one I miss was from about 2000 called Burn. I can't find the Oz version, which had no writing - just the flame on a black can.

An energy drink can called Burn. It has a flame on a black background.

I hate level scaling in games with the power of a thousand burning suns. If I come back to the starting area of a game and the mobs are just as hard, or of an equal level to me, or some other bullshittery of the same flavour but a differnt name, then you don't have a levelling system.
