iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Day of the Dog festival in Santa Monica this weekend! I’m so jazzed to see all the dogs enjoy the festivities! Last year they had a huge swimming pool, a *wave pool*, and covered about 100’ of city street with snow for them to play in.

I was moved out of Chicago before I realized there were cool game cons within easy reach other than GenCon. Kind of regretful and jealous. Hope everybody has a good time at #GameholeCon!

When I see drawing samples on Bluesky, I often want to respond with this page from How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way.

Yeah. I was the last man standing after they purged the RPG staff, kept to wrap up the last products in the pipeline. The financial situations I saw were wild.

You made the right call. I loved my time at Mayfair until the purge, then it was miserable. Nice to see Sentinels out there. 👍👍

If anyone is interested in learning about the “satanic panic,” this video by Antonio Demico (Pointy Hat) is the most thorough (and entertaining) I’ve ever seen. I also lived through it, but was, thankfully, not significantly affected by it. youtu.be/RZ2Aep9Kj0E?...

Turns out the secret to exploding your engagement on Bluesky is crabs. Whoda thought?

Also, when it comes to demonstrating what’s happening on the wheel when you’re throwing, that mirror mask is brilliant.

DriveThruRPG has Daggerheart listed as a “small press” game. Not sure I agree with that.

Let me know if you come to town, I’ll buy you coffee.

“Follow Back” fishing apparently exists on Bluesky too. Don’t know why it surprised me, but it did.

What is the movie that came out before you were born that you've watched the most times? (Not sure if this is from the original, but yeah, 1957’s Godzilla.)

Have you seen this thing? It’s really big! The CA Science Center’s new space shuttle exhibit is fantastic!

I’m going to the California Science Center today to see the space shuttle mounted up to rockets and standing inside its new building like it’s ready for liftoff!! I’m very excited.

All that and more. My friend is the AI advisor at a major money firm. 90% of her day is battling these people. “Sure, it’ll make mistakes, but we’ll set up an AI agent to check its work!” *bangs head on desk*

Several years ago, someone used my number to fill out one of those “competing lender” applications. Literally got a phone call every minute for days. Had to turn off my phone.

Still befuddle by this, days later.

While I was at the Lucas Museum yesterday, just standing next to a side hallway, a fairly old maintenance man approached. He looked over the top of his glasses at me, kind of suspiciously. I gave him a nod, to kind of allay any suspicions, and as he passed, he said "hello, champion," and moved on.🤨

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Going to the new Lucas Museum on Friday for my birthday. Pretty jazzed about it.

Man, depression’s hitting hard lately. And with birthday in a couple days. Hard to be positive and get things accomplished. Sorry for the feelings-related post, people who don’t even know me.

Guy over on Facebook BIG MAD that someone who solved a problem in a D&D game through roleplaying instead of brute force got rewarded for it. Jesus, dude, just go to the gun range, you’ll be happier.

Absolutely understandable. This whole thing is infuriating.

I’m also waiting on Pixel Dice. I’d love to get them before I go to my final GenCon next year.

Religion-related monster for a fantasy game: It’s like a demonic imp, but related to a NG deity. It resides on the ceilings of churches, but you have to paint murals of interesting pastoral scenes there for it to frolic around on, or it causes mischief.

Share the last 4 TTRPGs you played, and expose your gaming habits. (Played? Ok, but I’ve got to reach back all the way to GenCon 2025 for that last one.) • Hero System (a modern, supernatural game) • Cypher • Heart: The City Beneath • Monster of the Week

Found a neighbor’s cat who’d gotten out and was hiding. So, I’m a hero today. ⭐️
