Just heard #PaxUnplugged is going full Human Made. Proud of em, it's my favorite gaming con. And it's nice to know they'd prefer to present the works of real creative human beings. That's one less sign booths need to make, but if you'd like to anyways, here's a free icon hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

I want to speak a bit more on this particular tool so I'll end with a video. This could apply to any efficiency you're offered in your creative process. They're not all bad, but if you don't question their effect on you or others, you might unintentionally find yourself somewhere you didn't intend.

Really wish @safety.bsky.app would actually review and take action on impersonation and harassment accounts. At least a dozen accounts set up purely to try to impersonate, defame, harass, and embarass me - all reported for obvious harassment. Most still up. suzzzshellll, suzzzzshellkd...

An 8 page thread. Concludes with a personal video. "AI" moderating, replies, content and other features run contrary to what gets me excited to wake up and make videos. I have strong reservations about most of these features. The A/B edit testing especially: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1q-...

The “next issue” title made me smile. This is a callback to the author’s game design in issue 1 of the Summoner Wars comic book series. Summoner Wars has been a staple game for us, creating many gaming memories for me and my daughter. Congrats to @plaidhatgames.bsky.social on this new creative work!

Somewhat ironic that influencer culture has so deeply affected our social behavior at right around the same time that the influencer bubble is bursting. Online interactions have become so many people Performing For Their Imaginary Audience instead of talking to each other like people.

Four plays and finally eked out a win. Right down to the wire. Felt like repeated plays yielded new insights and tactics to try that led to this win. Kudos to @entrox-licher.bsky.social, the masterful Operator in the attempts! This is The Glasgow Train Robbery from @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social

Layer upon layer of ugh. Treat artists like a precious resource. Ask permission and then once you have permission, credit them and jfc, don't run their creations through the plagiarism machine. Better yet, learn a skill. Make an art. It may not be beautiful but it will be *yours.*

If you’ve gotten to this part in Big Walk you’ll know that box does NOT belong on that ceiling light. How we managed to do that, I’ll never know. It created some difficulties. This puzzle involved a lot of yelling. Falling. Angst. Climbing. Screaming. Grumbling. And sweating (literally). Very fun!

RIP Wendell Berry

The poem The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry superimposed on a picture I took of a Great Blue Heron standing in water at sunset.

The poem reads:
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
