Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume? Distiller: It can improve flavor to let things sit in a barrel untouched for a few years.

“Gee willickers, what is it that makes this brand new game from the minds behind Fortnite and Walt Disney studios so ✨magical✨?” “We uh honestly don’t know, we just turned the crank and whatever came out was what we shovelled into your troughs.”

Ya, but one worth at least some people keeping an eye on from time to time. The discourse from there has a tendency to bleed out.

If you go to the depth of dnd Reddit you will absolutely see this. I don’t recommend doing this as it is a bad time.

It is always funny to me that some people are not a big deal on bluesky and they don't know how to handle it

That is what makes being a Pittsburgher convent. We have a bunch of local terrible songs that would fit this perfectly. The Pittsburgh polka, And One For the Thumb, Black and Yellow.

Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

I find it hard to talk about genAI. There are so many complex problems, it's difficult to know where to begin and how to explain them. So I set myself a challenge: choose 5 key issues with genAI and talk about them clearly in less than 30 minutes. Here's what I made. I hope you find it useful!

What is the movie that came out before you were born that you've watched the most times? Psycho, had seen it before I went to film school then saw it in just about every other film class. Film History, Cinematography, Editing, A Study in Hitchcock, A Study in Film Noir, Directing

The Sleepy Hollow cartoon movie thing, not the headless horseman, but the woman who froze to death and now haunted the woods. This terrified me to my core, it didn’t like seeing trees in darkness for years because of it.

Gun to my head, if I had to start ttrpg discourse I would likely freeze up and panic, blurting out “gun to the head as a resolution system, god I don’t want to die.”

The advice I was given in film school years ago was to only put your short films on Vimeo because it looks more professional.

Something I have been grappling with is that people should possibly not make decisions about their beliefs in restorative justice while the wound is too fresh. I also think Nebula did the right thing. I think the next things he does will tell us if deserves forgiveness.

Sorcerer is offensive spells and debuffs, Mage heals and has some support spell with more mild damage spells. Both good but I find sorcerer to be more fun. It is the one that lets you throw a tornado at enemies.

A pink and gray poster: featuring a guillotine shaded in black halftones. The words "IT ENDS HERE", and an arrow and a manicule pointing towards the head hole of the guillotine. A white star in the middle of it. at the bottom of the poster, a painting of flames in turquoise, with the words "nothing to lose" and other embelishments in pink.
