Heads up: new PDFs exported from InDesign now have automatic AI image descriptions baked into them. To turn it off, go into the "Generative AI" preferences in InDesign and uncheck both these boxes:

Old-timey pulp comic titled "Nice Try, Clanker!" showing people shooting a robot with laser guns. An AI-generated image description (much worse than the one I've just written myself) is shown.

InDesign's "Preferences" panel, showing the "Generative AI" tab with the options "Auto-generate Alt Text when placing images" and "Add "Description generated by AI" tag for auto-generated Alt text" checked. Uncheck these!

And before any of you start thinking this was like a palak paneer and pickled onion quesadilla or some other fusion nonsense, it wasn't. It was shredded cheese and festiva, and it was delicious.

Dai Shugars @daishugars.com · 20/05/2026

My culinary hot take is that flatbreads are all the same. I just made a quesadilla with a leftover garlic naan and it was fine. I'm sure I could just have easily enjoyed my curry with a corn tortilla, or a pita, or a particularly yeasty crepe. Flatbreads are the same.

Psst, hey you. You want free RPG books? Do what I did: become a designer. People literally send you new stuff every day. You can even play it before it's finished, and they'll never know! And get this: once you make the book, you don't even need to pay for it, because you got the PDF! Suckers.

Sentence structure and originality. As overwrought as it is, Darkest Dungeon's writing is extraordinarily memorable and evocative — "mortality clarified in a single blow" or "in time, you will know the tragic extent of my failings" are well-written lines, even outside the medium of video games.
