It hardly seems fair that just because I'm not very good at playing music I should be forced to work a regular job.

Still looking to be more active with live music. I live in Sonoma County CA, but I'm within striking distance the bay area. I have a recent live demo here: on.soundcloud.com/UlTIsZsc0BWq... I will come to you and make sounds, just DM me.

It went fine. Besides half my rig getting cut out about halfway, and my inability to sing on key.

Following an excellent playtest, my kaiju skirmish game will be coming to tabletop simulator when I have time to make the page. I'm pretty stoked.

Creative output at an all time high. Over the weekend I: Set-up and tested my Kaiju wargame in tabletop simulator. Rearranged an old song, and composed a new song for a live performance. Painted 6 miniatures for gameday next weekend. Tested a friend's new digital painting software.

Most of the folks I used to play with have quit music. The few that haven't do really professional normal stuff, filling in with popular bands for tours, or studio sessions. Feels weird that all my freak brothers and sisters hung it up. I always assumed the outsiders would be the last to stop.

Glad to see that in the 1st 24 hours not a single person has made it past the 1st of three tracks. I picked the three songs I thought were the most "fun." Guess abrasive synth beats are just not for everyone. #synthesizer #experimentalmusic #noisemusic #electronicmusic

Some rando at work was complaining about not being able to make friends as "a grown man" and I always hear a bunch of nonsense about the death of male friendship and how people struggle. You need a cis bro to bro with, it's easy: Pop the hood of your car and stare at it with your arms crossed.

My creative output is at an all-time high, but my mental health is not great. Decided that's a fine trade off for now until it starts to negatively impact my life besides feeling bad. Can't risk derailing the art.

The oddest thing about the response to this essay is people who say it’s “personal”. You can disagree about some or all of it! I may well be wrong! But it’s not “personal” to analyze a film or other work of art, even negatively. Criticism is more than “Hurray!” or “Hiss!”

I thought it would be fun to try and learn blender to make a little animation for a game video. The thing that makes learning blender impossible is that there have been so many updates I can't find up to date tutorials on basic features. Import PNG as layer how? That should be pretty simple...

My current project accidentally ended up closer to the #boardgame side of things than the #rpg side of things, and one of the largest differences in expectations is that board game players expect to hold every rule in their heads at all times. #gamedesign

gary D. Pryor @infantofatocha.itch.io · 19/07/2026
So I want to share and not shill, but the design reddits and discords and places I talk about the process, are not the places to share. They are overwhelmed by the amount of self-promotion for books and kickstarters. I'm also not selling anything, I am just proud of what I made.

gary D. Pryor @infantofatocha.itch.io · 19/07/2026
I think games are art. I believe in patronizing the arts. I also do not think art should be a "product" So the fact that I'm a sensitive anti-capitalist and game lover, makes engaging with #rpg and #tabletop online a minefield. then I make something I'm proud of and things become very complicated

gary D. Pryor @infantofatocha.itch.io · 19/07/2026
So here is the thing, I love tabletop gaming. I like playing all kinds of games, reading rpg rule books for fun, talking to people about design theory, learning the history of gaming, serious nerd stuff. I will speak to you about your game all day, even play it. I also do not being advertised to.

So I made a completely free print and play kaiju skirmish game. Nothing for sale, no patreon, no mailing list. Just a full blown, fully featured 4 player competitive game that I made because I like making art and I like impaling my friends on the space needle. Do your friends also need impaling?

Sweet Tooth is one of the greatest comics of all time in pacing and telling stories with layouts and editing. Probably THE greatest for a work of it's length and scope. but people mostly don't care about that, folks either do or don't want a post apocalyptic story about cute animal kids.

gary D. Pryor @infantofatocha.itch.io · 16/07/2026
Kind of funny that this is the hot topic at the same time I have been excited/posting about my current project. I am both very sensitive about being advertised to, and I like talking about the creative process. Feels impossible to talk about tabletop games online without it leading to a product.
