I was so obsessed with being a Harper in our PF2e campaign that my husband created this archetype for me. And I must say that it’s really good! daelightstudios.itch.io/follower-of-...

I’ve been using fountain pens every day, but I recently started using a ballpoint pen and I understand why people were so mindblown when it first came out. It dries instantly, you don’t have to constantly refill it. It’s wild that I’m having the exact same reaction people probably had in the 1940s.

you'd think that in a labor-intensive field like TTRPGs you wouldn't run into entitled people like those saying "it's just a simple drawing, why are you charging for it?" but life keeps finding new ways to surprise you.

One of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.
Sam Altman: cool use case of chatgpt work i heard last night:

connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests.

every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

Reading Malazan makes me depressed nowadays. But it says "Malazan Book of the FALLEN" in the title so I think I literally signed up for this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

also, i have to say, this jam had some crazy good works. we (me+ @eda.daelightstudios.com ) were a mix of impressed ("that's so good!"), jealous ("how is it that good?!") and worried ("...are we that good?") checking them out. kudos to all the participants.

I just read a paragraph in Malazan #2 that I think might be foreshadowing, and even the possibility of it gives me goosebumps.

it's sooo funny that the marvel movies eventually replicated the exact thing people disliked about the comics and preferred the movies for: overstuffed event crossovers that intimidate readers, demand you look at a whole bunch of other shit to know the story, and don't even tell a good story

I stopped by the local library. The shelf arrangement was a complete disaster, and I couldn't resist to urge to rearranging the books. Then I was like "Wait a minute, I don't get paid for this" and walked away.

i hate living in a world where my reaction to every longish writing, to every drawing is asking "is this AI?" first. AI kills sincerity merely by existing.

I wanted to update my portfolio this year, and that’s fine. The problem is that I chose today to do it — a day when work is so busy that I even have to work on a Sunday. I woke up this morning and decided TODAY was the day to update my portfolio. I don’t know why my brain works like this.

Before starting Malazan #2, I thought I needed to refresh my memory, so I watched a video summarizing the first book. Then I realized that wasn’t enough, so I read a 300-page summary PDF. Guess what? That wasn’t enough either, so now I’m rereading the first book
