Brain went to angler fish. #spaceshiptember Also, I've been neglecting the biomechanoid stuff all this month, so hopefully this atones for it. The eye shoots lasers (obviously) and, to make it somewhat functional, the bits in the way, can move to not be in the way.

It's not just AI-generated art anymore. Now, Agentic AIs are in our emails, and they really really want us to buy their D&D "module." If AI can so easily subvert spam safeguards, it's the beginning of the end for our inboxes.

An “AI Agent” is begging us to buy their D&D module

iLands has been inundating the inboxes of journalists and publications… and now it’s Rascal’s turn to take out the trash.

Sloops have a deployable skiff (a ship-to-ship or ship-to-surface vessel) which doesn't require a hangar. This is huge for a ship of its size class! Also, here's the full artwork.

a zoomorphic tall ship that looks like a frog. Glowing yellow windows clad in hexagonal panels line the ship's side and form the "eye" of the frog.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." -Lyndon B. Johnson Applies just as well to gender dynamics.

Whyyy is some dipshit on the internet trying to make a pro-AI argument that is based in pretending that C3-PO is real?

I want to be more active and forge genuine connections that will inspire people to play my games without leaving me feeling like a taker, but every time I'm on social media I lose mood points faster than a sim locked in an empty room.

I have only read the English translation and it was still incredible. I'm sure it's not as good as its original language, but it was still life changing.

What’s really frustrating is that, having worked a drive thru, it is a job that I would welcome being given to robots if we lived in any other timeline. It’s a terrible job very few people want to do.

Most likely started by a natural thing (disease, natural disaster) compounded by a political situation that kept leadership from responding effectively. Or, by us being colonized and killed off by aliens who want to build beach houses where we currently live.

"Theft is when you take something from somebody and they don't have it anymore" is such a simple and concise statement for explaining why the entire concept of piracy is BS. Beautifully said.

I will consider a review of Heliosail (especially an unofficial one) that says "this game would be cool if it was for all this woke shit" to be a personal milestone for success.

I'm really glad to hear people have been supportive, because while the ongoing conversation about our culture's issues with weight and appearance is valid, that shouldn't stop people from getting effective treatments they need, and it's a tragedy when it does. Congratulations! I hope this goes well!

This week's monster is a giant desert worm, a sci-fi classic brought to us by Dune and reimagined a thousand times over. My version is dangerous only because of its size, not because it is inherently a monster. Available for Heliosail & 5e. #D&D #DnD #TTRPG #Worm www.patreon.com/posts/monste...

I am trying to not let this activate my depression too much, but it's tough when your life just feels literally impossible. No one is built for a capitalist world, but some of us cope even less than others. I am very aware that the system doesn't think I have any value or deserve to earn a living.

When I first moved to this city, during the middle of the pandemic when the economy was 'historically depressed,' I got a job within 2 weeks. Now I have been out of work nine months while really looking hard. I don't like to solicit pity, but it's all just really scary right now.

I did successfully fund Heliosail, but I don't think I'm going to make a meaningful profit off it, and all of that money is still tied up in fulfillment right now. If I'm VERY lucky, I'll make a couple hundred bucks in profit, total.

I was donating plasma for a time, but stopped because it was making me really sick. I'm going to do it again starting this week, though. I have no choice. I tried to get into substitute teaching, but that didn't work out & I basically broke even with the licenses and background check.
