Starting to think they are specifically going after porn/erotica/nudey doodles because that's competition. Like walmart driving little mom and pop shops out of business.

"Well, there's no porn in my neighborhood, so I guess I have to drive all the way over to chaptgpt just to get one off." 🙄

ChatGPT will soon allow sexting with verified adults

• Erotica and 'mature conversations' will be permitted

• Change arrives in December alongside new age verification tools

compilation of 4 images. | IMG 1: book cover picturing a young woman up close, only torso and the bottom half of her face are visible. her neck is extended as much as possible. her lips partially open, gasping for air. a red, ghostly hand hangs over her neck in a menacing gesture that wants to grab and choke her. hair is in motion and floating. the text says: "A. K. VENRINN - THE ROOTS THAT BIND US - THE ELDERTREES TRILOGY" | IMG 2: A comic page with 4 horizontal panels. The patrons voted to "go with the flow". A muscular half-elven woman Roz and a lean tiefling woman Lav are both pushed out of a fancy establishment. "I lost my first gig because of you!", Roz yells. Unbothered, Lav stretches her arms. "Relax, this job was probably lame anyway. I'll get us a real deal from better people, no sweat." With a door slam, we enter a tavern where a brawl is currently happening which undermines the message that Lav is trying to send by taking Roz to "better people". While Lav looks very proud of herself, Roz is startled by the unexpected violence. Upset, Roz stares at Lav. "Why, you little..." she mutters through her teeth with a shadow over her face, as we see rage slowly rising inside her. The next two choices say patrons can choose: "Trust the process" or "Do not, in fact, trust at all". | IMG 3: a mockup of a kickstarter page graphics for a tabletop game Kinfire Council. it shows a phone floating in front of an orange background, with some slides positioned nearby and showing other elements of the crowdfunding page's graphic design. | IMG 4: a poster illustration of a middle aged elegantly dressed fish-species guy, raging and in the middle of swinging his knife and using blood magic. the title says "from Ghostpunk Nokturn - KIERAT" in a fancy font that seems to be slashed through. the smaller notes at the bottom credit the participators of Actual Play that Kierat is from, on a podcast called podsłuchane.pl

Taking a close look at what I have to do before Howl, I've decided that I'm going to do last call for my badge pre-orders. So if you want to make sure you have a badge AT con, NOW is the time to fill out a form, even if you need to pay closer to the con.
Form will close *AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT*

🦊Cheeb🦊 Is looking for work! @chebits.bsky.social · 22d

My badge pre-orders are now open for pickup at Howl! If you'd like to snag a badge for me and want it AT HOWL please be sure to pre-order, as all badge commissions I take at the con are likely to be take homes!
