I would *really* appreciate a rich benefactor to take me into their care and provide me with a basement and funding to produce esoteric art for them right about now. 😓

Okay, y'all did not give this the love it deserves, I'm hella proud of this even if I can barely sing and only made it in like 4 hours and did a terrible job mastering it. Okay I might see why it didn't get a lot of attention. BUT STILL.

This sandwich place I'm at is blasting Kpop Demon Hunters and uses different video games and movies as their table markers.

A legend of Zelda, link to the past table marker, which also marked one of the last actually good Zelda games to exist for the next fifteen years /joke and a cup on the table saying Cheba Hut "Toasted" Sandwiches, which is concerningly placed in quotes.

Oh, a sexy guy took the photo, we're sure. He's just off screen, for those visually impaired.

That's what this is for right? Surely you don't read my descriptions purely for the entertainment value. Surely I'm not abusing such a system to hide jokes inside an accessibility tool? Will someone hold me accountable? Will someone recognize the issues inherent? Or will perhaps a blind person using Bluesky discover their new favorite social media person? What is a little whimsey and humor truly harming?

Also, why can I only post a hundred forty characters or whatever, but can write whole existential crash outs in here? What gives?

I think I like this line I wrote for a story I've been working on. The two characters (gay, in love, etc.) are talking about the afterlife: "My dear, for you the heavens shall hold no secrets, and eternity shall bend to your will. If it dare resists, I will be the one to change its mind."

I gotta say, I'm adoring the Samsung feature of getting a recording from anyone not in your contacts calling you, saying who they are and why they're calling, before actually ringing your phone. I got four spam calls in a row this morning and not once did I have to even look at my phone.

Oh hey Indie Night Market designers and vendors! 📸 Last year I worked with a few folks to take some photos of them at the market (along with some random ones I took). I'm gonna be there again this year, so reach out if you want photos of your table and you in it!

A really well composed photo showcasing a designer that I wish for the love of God I could remember the name of showcasing their game to an enraptured crowd.

Matthew Hocker selling the hell out of Lunarpunk Games' Games, looking all in focus and sharp and engaged and stuff.

Eric Ditmore signing a copy of Adulting, the game he released at the indie game night market, a moment he surely enjoys having such a high-quality photo to remember it by.

I know this game was designed by Max Seidman, but I can't remember the name of it. It's a really good photo, though! Look at that slight angle, the action of the hand placing a block, the depth of field. It's almost like the guy taking the photos has an eye for composition.

Ugh, I need to do another board game corporate push for videos, even after all my recent convention earnings I'm still sitting at way less cash than I'd like to be at. So if anyone knows a company or seven that needs some videos/photographs/3D renders/literally anything, I'd be all ears...

🏳️‍🌈 They've been requested, and they have been added! Now we've got more Roll With Pride shirts over on my merch store! We've got non-binary, aromantic, lesbian, men loving men, and leather pride flag colors! $5 from every shirt sold goes straight (ironic) to @tabletopgaymers.bsky.social!

A shirt absolutely covered with dice, of which are the non-binary pride flag colors.

A shirt with a bunch of dice, like some might say too many, that match the aromantic pride flag colors.

Lesbian dice shirt! Sorry, this one turned out really pretty and I'm proud of it.

And this is one you might not know, it's the men loving men pride flag as represented by dice! It's like the lesbian flag except more dude-like.

Getting the chance to try out a prototype from Patrick is ALWAYS a huge highlight of any con for me, so stoked I got a chance to give it a play and also futz with my macro lens at the same time!

A bold dragon sits among a stinky knight who's dumb and doesn't slay nothin', represented in meeple form. A tantalizing treasure chest looms on in the foreground.

The same shot as before except from a slightly higher angle and with worse exposure settings.

Honestly I don't know why I didn't delete this one from the post. I'm a professional photographer. Fake it 'till you make it.

The dragon is now caressing the treasure chest. It's making everyone uncomfortable.

Another year at #GenCon with @floodgategames.bsky.social in the books! As always was a delight to work with them, demoing games and taking photos 😁💙

On one hand, they cleared it up immediately as they had been missing my emails due to an error on their end and got me payment within the hour. On the other hand, they *did* forget the $0.01 surcharge, so... /joke All is well.
