AGREED

the biggest sign that I've "made it" is when people tell me they've used my stream to fall asleep to 🥺💜

lately been more insomnia streams on my end and folks just opening a tab and allowing me to be their white noise is such an honor for me that I don't take for granted 🫶 /gen

Anyway on lighter note, it makes me happy knowing folks lurk in my streams and support my personal goals. Ngl a lot of the time I feel very not so supported or seen, but I still push and try to be my own cheerleader. Imma be happy for me and my dreams. ❤️

Root is my very favorite board game (and Leder Games my favorite publisher) but for a first play, YES! Play 3 players who are willing to read the rulebook as they play. Use the example first turns. If you're teaching, stress the simplicity of using your player board to assist with your turn.
amabel.bsky.social Amabel Holland @amabel.bsky.social · 1d
I think Root comes closest to making pronounced asymmetry accessible, especially if the teach stresses core similarities (also, lean toward lower player counts for first plays). But it's a tough nut to crack and I don't think my own efforts have been particularly newbie-friendly.
susanbrindle.bsky.social susanbrindle.bsky.social @susanbrindle.bsky.social · 2d
Asymmetrical Board Games are my pride and joy, but also the bane of my existence, because new players who aren't huge board game perverts really struggle to internalize, say, five distinct sets of rules at once (looking at you, ROOT.) Do you have any advice or reccs?

Unexpected Gift

#pixelart #art
A Pixel Art illustration of a front of a house with lots of garden pots with only twigs in them, since it is a winter season and greenery is not the lash. However, there are numerous of shadows that are implecating "the greenery that it was". Shadows do not match with reality on purpose. The main focal point is two characters at the front of the door: a little duckling and the girl, Ginger. Duckling just brought the present and left it at the door, but was stopped by Ginger and surprised with the present for him as well. The illustration contains already drawn before parts of scenery for a work called "Sunbathing" and in a way is a hommage to summer-scene it was proviously. Art by Nyura Kim.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Digital illustration of two ghosts in front of a red pagoda sitting on the water. Behind them is a lilac and pink sky with the sun setting. Above them is a cherry blossom tree and pink lanterns hanging from the branches. Digital illustration of two ghosts facing each other in a sunflower field. They are floating above the flowers in front of a blue sky. The ghost on the right is holding a sunflower out to the ghost on the left. Digital illustration of a ghost and a glowing jack-o-lantern huddled under a clear umbrella. They are standing at the base of a lush forest in the rain. The leaves around them glow orange from the light of the pumpkin. Digital illustration of a ghost sitting on a bench holding an orange autumn leaves. Around them the leaves have turned orange and yellow. There are birch trees behind them. The ground is wet and reflects the bench. There is one floating leaf in the foreground, surrounded by many other fallen leaves.

My suspicion is that the Trans community and allies left Twitter and arrived here early but it’s still worth re-upping this for those who left it a little longer:

This was a deeply, personally important piece for me to write, about my fibromyalgia and resistance against ableist capitalism.

But it’s also for all of you fatigued warriors out there - I honour you.

With thanks as ever to @wearequeeraf.com for the space to write about the under-platformed.
