Stuff like ChatGPT used to give you links to sites, but I think the push is to make it so people can make purchases without leaving their little AI bubble 😐

Reminder: Republicans are more concerned with protecting pedophiles than protecting the American people.

Day 30 of the shutdown and the pedophile protection party only cares about ensuring the Epstein files are not released.

I always feel so deranged when I read the marketing copy for gen ai tools in art programs, it's always stuff like "it won't get in your way, it'll work hand in hand with your current workflow but makes it easy!!!" The unobtrusiveness of a gen ai tool is not the thing artists are worried about 🫩

To be clear, I try to be professional about criticizing other creators, there are many I love who have contributed to Dice Tower past and present. But as an institution DT has shown a long and consistent refusal to take any responsibility for the influence they've garnered.

So, I'm still organizing the giant pile of original pages i now have possession of. In total, I estimate it's easily in the 1500 page range (20/22pages per sleeve, 60 ish sleeves in three bins dating as far back as 2003.

I don't know how a large review outlet that purports to take itself seriously can release a video "I don't care about your indie game". It's one thing to be realistic about what you can cover but this is just deeply incurious and unnecessarily cruel.

Massaging the DNC's message slightly left or right of center doesn't do much when the majority of traditional *and* social media is owned by right-wing weirdos who throw that message in the trash and replace it with IF YOU VOTE FOR A WOMAN IMMIGRANTS WILL EAT YOUR CAT

Surely deserving English language reprint? Must dig out this copy I have again. “I, Robot” by Isaac Asimov, art by Luis Bermejo who also drew “Heros the Spartan” for Eagle, who died in 2015 (tribute here downthetubes.net/in-memoriam-...)

SPINE is my first time using Mixam's print-on-demand option. It was easy to set up.

The pricing ($9.99) really is a steal. It's printed in color as a "reading book," uncoated paper, which is exactly what I wanted for a game that you mark up. And yet, it's still Mixam's usual great print quality.
interested in Spine by @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social, saw something that was a 1st for me: mixam on demand link.
got physical copy for $10 (a steal), creator doesn’t have to hold inventory, & I’ll get a better quality than I can print. Excited for potential this has for writers who don’t want to ship!
