I usually design my business cards to be conversation-starters. But at after too many endless awkward discussions at recent events, I realized I needed a new type of card. The conversation-ender.

A stack of business cards reads in English and Korean: Generative AI is unethical, annoying, and anti-art. Anything it touches will fail, and be a mark of shame on human history. I do not wish to discuss this further.

You know, it could be both.

I do wonder in like 20 years time, people are going to look back on this current era of writing and go "oh yeah when everyone read How to Save the Cat".

It's hard not to fall in love with microsnails.

Five Small RPGs, the zine i created for CIGS 2026, is now available in pdf format! it collects five of my previously (and still!) available ttrpgs in a neat little four-column booklet format. the physical zines will almost certainly make a return at some future event!

Really pleased with how this turned out.

A screenshot of a game, with a black and white dithered cave mouth. There are three buttons, vertically aligned: "The house is the world, everything is repeated many times but two things seem to be repeated only once," "above, the sun," "below, Asterion".

A screenshot of a game, with a black and white dithered stone door. Two buttons say: "I step into the street," "I select a distraction".

Honestly a bit jealous, the local one is stupid as all hell, hit their head on the fence ducking under once and sprayed all loads in a mad panic in front of Chase's window.

Still mad from last year when a skunk let goddamn loose in the alley under the fan window, literally woke us up and it took all day to get the smell out.

A Family of Skellys ha come out for a midnight swim, 1 is seated on a deck chair, 1 is pointing to a pool ring on the right another ha their hands on their hips with a lilo in front and the lat is inside a pool right in the water.
This might be their first swim of the season.

Let's ignore the emo elemental for a moment and imply things that annoy our normie girlfriend.

"A quote under a digital illustration of a sword: Or can’t a dryad um—”

“Uproot themselves? Only with a considerable amount of pain, difficulty and hassle.” Emily threw a sidelong glance at Tanis. “It’s no different than getting hitched, really. For richer or poorer, in dry rot and in health.”"
