This is Booger. He does all the crimes, then turns around and demands to be snuggled. The audacity is almost admirable.

An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

A little reminder that enjoying yourself is never a waste of time. Hours into a videogame isn't a waste of time. Learning something for fun isn't a waste of time. I love learning new things, I have so many I learned once and never did again. Never a waste of time.

I want companies to understand that when I see an AI flier, my brain instantly deletes it. I don't think, "Ooh, I should go to this event!" I rush past it like it's a pile of dog poop. Same for ads with AI models. I assume that if your marketing is cheap garbage, so is your product.

AI is the future and everyone wants it. That's why they keep smuggling it into shit without telling people — asking for consent first is just wasting time that could be better spent plagiarizing everything in sight.

I'm SO excited to finally share these pieces I created for D&D Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. This project was such a huge honor to work on. I remember as a kid looking through the players manuals & doing little studies of the artwork in there, so this feels a bit full-circle.

Stephanie’s writing tips: 1) Write. Write write write. Write ideas. Write notes. Write without notes and see where it goes. Write what you want as soon as you want to. If the words are in your head, let them out. 2) Take breaks from tip one when it feels too hard, then resume tip one.

It's a good year for us if we can so much as break even with how expensive it is being an indie author. This we absolutely do not need. The publishing business is real good at snuffing out the joy of telling stories. I'd laugh if I weren't busy crying.

My woke opinion of the day is tying art to capital, and capital to survival, is fundamentally anti-art It inherently compromised the artists vision from the roots. its financial success is a factor that will always exist in the creators mind - informed or opposed Want pure art? Kill capitalism
