Hello, my name is Alex Goldman and if you know me, it's probably from a podcast called Reply All. Some folks had strong feelings about that one. Anyhow, I have a new show called Hyperfixed that has almost 100 episodes, and I would love for you to check it out if you have a chance. hyperfixedpod.com

There’s a symbol currently going around in Minnesota called the Rebel Loon. It’s a symbol of rebellion against ICE, and the current tyranny of this nation. Im not from Minnesota, I’m from New York. So I decided to draw a symbol based of the Rebel Loon to show my support using my state’s bird.

My big thing is: slice of life romance occurs in D&D so frequently that to claim it's not what D&D "does" is silly. Yes, D&D pays lots of consideration towards turn based combat. But a system also is what it does. Sure, D&D is not a cyberpunk horror game, even if some tables stretch it to be. 1/2

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

Goddamn. @agoldman.bsky.social's reporting on the complex and dramatic history of the cat drug black market - the Facebook-based amateur veterinarian ring helping cats afflicted with a specific feline illness - was unbelievable. Kudos on the amazing series. Everyone should listen to this.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

The way you could hear a pin drop the moment after Caesar shouted "NO!" in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The way it earned that moment, despite being a "prequel" to the talking apes franchise, was great.

This. 100% this. Not only are we more likely to listen to our friends talk about games they like but we're also more likely to trust their opinions. Many spaces online self-promotion isn't allowed or is pushed into a space where folks are unlikely to read it. Be vocal about the games you like.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!"

This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows:

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity.

When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers.

Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

WIP on the one sheet for the fictional rpg "SWORD" that will be my last page in the APPX. N JAM. The concept is that this is a quick start for a TTRPG that never existed, but is actually a one pager. Coupled with the rest of the adventure you will be able to play it solo or with a group!

work in progress of the one page RPG called SWORD.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Deep in the weeds on the next Rats illustration - the balancing act between "playing fast and look with perspective to achieve a particular effect" and "making sure things don't just look 'wrong' in a bad way" can be a challenge! #digitalillustration #WIP

The initial sketch. Three rats pursue a mouse on an ornate chandelier hanging high above a human bedroom. In the background, a cat sits on the bedroom floor, looking up at the rodents, waiting for someone to fall.

The current WIP. Three rats pursue a mouse on an ornate chandelier. Below we see a quick, messy sketch of a bedroom. The composition uses a cropped a fisheye perspective.

I heard artists can get shares on their birthday, as a treat 🪷 #Illustration #Art #OCSky

Digital illustration of Endres, a young man with long hair and festive attire, standing amids a see of floating and glowing sky lanterns at night while holding one lantern with both hands, a serene expression on his face.

Digital illustration of three different goldfish swimming through the water, framed by lily pads and willow leaves.

A digital illustration of five lotus flowers in the water.

Digital illustration of Endres and Gou kissing in front of the fullmoon at night. Gou is floating in mid-air as though taken by a gust of wind, Endres holds Gou's face tenderly with his left hand while holding a paper lantern in his right. There are flower petals flying around them.
