Looking through photos for a nice shot of a river to finish a thing, and found this old friend. Love this photo. From "The Burn" by @malcolmcraig.bsky.social handiwork.games/home/the-sil... #ttrpg #rpgart
A photograph of two wee folk in a leaf covered landscape. In the distance a culvert.

Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

Good to hear The Skinny has been saved, but some abysmal news that the owners of St Margaret's House has severed notice to everyone there. Huge blow to the increasingly thin fabric of artist support in Edinburgh.

This is the truth. I also have a susspicion that the funding campaign split between Kickstarter and Backerkt has had a negative impact on small/hobby creators (esp given how hard the latter push the capitalistic aspects of the process).

Artist, show us how you draw black women. (Some pretty mixed media here for “draw” but I think that’s ok)
A character from a|state second edition. A character from Maskwitches. One of my favourite pieces from the book. A character from a Maskwitches supplement.  Character created for Jacob Rodger’s’ desert setting.

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

This man is a monster. He seeks out women survivors because he hates them. And he hates them because he hates himself. He has harassed me and other women survivors many times over the years. It must end. He should never have a job anywhere.

I've always felt the games industry started crashing in 2018 but the money being pumped into it (especially during COVID) was a Hail Mary to push a broken model over the line. I'm now convinced GenAI is in the same boat. These idiots think you can defy gravity by just pumping more money into it.
