Just got all of the money counted across venmo and such; In total we were able to raise $600 in our single day of fundraising at the SF Zine Fest! A good start for all of the art that was donated to me!

Despite the weird load in situation at the SF Zine fest, overall the show was pretty decent, workload-wise. I might be more willing to do a few conventions now and then.....if they have masking mandates and covid precautions, of course.

At yesterday's SF Zinefest, @redgoldsparks.bsky.social was kind enough to donate a few of eir zines about maintaining eSims! An additional page mentioned our Crips for eSims for Gaza initiative and the itch bundle organized by myself, @hexcavator.bsky.social and @baiyu.tofu.rocks! Thank you so much!

Keep up that boycott. Don't buy Oblivion Remastered. Dust off that old copy of Morrowind instead for a colossal fan-made expansion adding another 140 dungeons, 270 quests and a city with over 1100 NPCs instead. And that's just the stuff from this update.

Oblivion isn't enough? Morrowind just got a whole lot bigger, as community mega-mod Tamriel Rebuilt adds the sprawling metropolis of Narsis

Morrowind finally living up to its name, one expansion at a time.

I guess what I really want to know is, where are the structural opportunities for journalists and writers of color in gaming? And I’m not talking about one-off op-ed opportunities, I’m talking about mentorships, regular bylines, fiscal support.

listen pal i don't care how "great and powerful" you are, that thing is at least a dozen segments over street legal, and it just destroyed a crate of good seasonal fruit! made for @ascalaphid.com 's latest Art Telephone game, more info below Prints: www.artbyblue.com/store/that-t...

A large acrylic painting showing a busy city street populated by anthropomorphic insects. The scene takes place in the lower city, while the richer and more pristine upper city extends up the mountain in the background. It is late afternoon/early evening, and the colors are dramatic, with warm light and sharp cool shadows. At the center of the image, a yellow weevil in wizard robes and hat rides a massive, rearing millipede. He shrugs dramatically at an angry wasp on the ground in front of his steed, whose hands are raised antagonistically. A few feet away, on the ground, is a spilled crate of red fruits. Many insect onlookers watch on from street level, balconies, and flying above.
