To be clear, I wasn't deliberately using AI. I just typed my query into Google search.

I was working on a joke and I needed a meme... and this response I got from Google AI was way funnier than my joke, so I think we're all doomed. Just sayin.

Question for the crafters. My favorite shirt is super faded, but I don't want to get rid of it. an I fix it with a sharpie or will it all wash out?

I'm going to be transparent here. I love this book. @ceronomus.bsky.social did an amazing job. The mines of Grungin are creepy. The encounters are original. The big reveal is genuinely surprising. It's one of the best DCC adventures I've ever read. Love it. Love it. Love it. We launch in 1 week.

I've used Mixam for years. Spent ~$62K so far. The print quality is first rate, but man... their shipping team keeps packing things in a way that all but guarantees my stuff gets destroyed in transit. My current order arrived (sort of) with 2/3 of the books missing or too damaged to sell.

GenCon looks like tremendous fun, but man... that is a LOT of people. Pretty sure it would require an upgrade to my social battery that hasn't been invented yet. Have fun though!

For me, personally, it would have been ROM Spaceknight. Talk about an epic tale of honor, love, loss, and betrayal. Not to mention the Dire Wraiths...

If you could make only one 70s/80s Marvel licensed IP into a TV series, would it be Micronauts, ROM Spaceknight, or Shogun Warriors? And how would you do it? I need to live vicariously through someone else's retro toy imagination for a few beats.

KINLESS holds a special place for me. I spent 3 years writing it. Through Covid, losing an eye, losing my job, the death of my daughter, the naysayers who said I'd never finish... I kept plugging away and pouring more of myself into it. it's done and it's out there and I'm proud of it.

Chris Makes Games @chrisgwilliams.bsky.social · 26/06/2026
The DTRPG sale was a big success, pushing KINLESS and Explore Dungeons Zine higher on the sales charts. KINLESS is now a Silver Best Seller, which makes me super happy. So THANK YOU to everyone that dropped in and bought something. I appreciate you.

I saw Supergirl last night. it's not perfect, nor does it need to be, but it was quite good. There are some pretty heavy themes in the movie, which I won't overtly spoil, but I will throw out a TW for (implied) SA.

We are 31 bucks from the final stretch goal, with 4 days to go and it's literally* killing me... the last goal is a set of mutant minis, perfect for your post apocalyptic adventures. We're so close.... *ok no, not literally, but you know what I mean.

Rewatching The X-Files and sure not all episodes aged well, but overall I'd say it holds up. It's still as riveting as it was 28 years ago.

I'm pretty spoiler averse when it comes to most movies, so all I can tell you is I think this takes place after everyone has forgotten his identity. I don't even know who the main villain is. I'm coming in completely cold.

I love RPG funnels and MCC really makes it hilarious. Imagine thinking you're just a scrub, watching all your friends die, only to "discover" you were actually a laser-eyed mutant or poison spraying sentient plant all along. Do you roleplay the "transformation" a level 1? or just roll with it?

BackerKit has Overtime Mode. If people keep backing your project, it keeps extending the end by 10 min so you MIGHT get xtra $$. BUT if you're a collab project, ALL extend if ANY get backed in OT. 13+ hrs of OT feels like I'm hosting a NYE party but THE BALL NEVER DROPS and we're all zombies now.
