Nothing saddens me more than seeing an interesting concept for a game on Steam and then scrolling down to see they use Generative AI.

Why?! Just don’t! There are countless reasons why you shouldn’t!

Feeling the comparison blues?
Feeling like your projects and pursuits just arent getting off of the ground while it seems EVERYONE else is living their dream?
You are not alone!

BUT
You're making things and chasing a dream. The journey of others has nothing to do with yours, so be nice to yourself

Playing Bread and Fred for the first time with @anarisis.dylangrinder.com, a game we definitely will be very chill about

Although I was playing a couple of more mainstream systems at the time, it was @noroadhome.itch.io's Alone Among the Stars that broke my game design worldview open

Thought Punks 🎲 TTRPGs + Punk 👩‍🎤 @thoughtpunks.com · 2d

For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.

What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?

Me earlier today: I don't remember why I usually halve this stock recipe, but I need a lot so I'll just do the full portion

Me now with a pot full to the brim and with only half the required water in it: oh

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Since taking over as host, I IMMEDIATELY started mythologizing the One Shot Studio

Each recording, during intros, guests riff with me about what the studio is like. EVERYTHING becomes canon.

As we upload episodes to YouTube, @cowboypunkcolt.bsky.social has brought TONS of these anomalies to life

Very excited to be working on a chapter for this very cool Wyrd West game!

Check out the Backerkit 👀

Huckleberry RPG ➡️ BackerKit is ALIVE! @huckleberryrpg.com · 4d

We've just announced Huckleberry's $40,000 stretch goal! We'll be expanding the book with an ENTIRE new chapter on the Maverick's home base - a Hole-in-the-Wall.

It's written by @anarisis.dylangrinder.com and @kiennas.bsky.social - two VERY talented designers that I'm excited to have on board!

Art from Huckleberry: A Wyrd West RPG. It depicts an artistic sculpture made of twigs, roots, and copper wire, with heavy folk horror vibes.

It's a bit meta but I'll be starting today's stream with co-working to try to fix my co-working. 😅 I've got both On-Together and Super Sweet Bot going but I have to re-test everything since the PC crash. 💜

Afterwards it's back into Silksong to try getting further in Act 2!

Twitch.tv/FaunAndGames

FaunAndGames Twitch stream for co-working. There is both Super Sweet Bot and the On-Together Demo on screen. There is also nonbinary streamer FaunAndGames' Vtuber model.
