writer-artist combos are the best! I'm sure it will be amazing when you are done :D

if you should ever need a writer, I would love to write stories for these amazing characters-- the plot lines are practically leaping out of your art. Impressive!

JRR Tolkien began a sequel to the Lord of the Rings, on the idea that after Sauron was defeated, evil gradually crept back into the world. Tolkien abandoned this notion as too depressing-- but I wish he hadn't, as I'd like to know what to do about it.

Especially a whole-step up at the end of a real banger.

I figured it out, if anyone's interested. And no, none of the AI search results will correctly tell you how to do this. Unbelievable. We're heading toward a new age of garbageinfo!

Google's AI is literally wrong about how to turn itself off. The "More" button ain't got shit for me, bro.

Indie games still happen! I published the final episode of HEARTBREAK RHAPSODY-- my goofy lil rock-musical romance game on the Dorian platform. I always had this idea for a game where you're in a magical rock band & everyone is cool, sexy and funny! Now you can play it!

now, bear in mind, perhaps this is just me defending my ineptitude! but accordion might be a tricky first instrument to tackle.

Ryan Kaufman @writerryan.bsky.social · Aug 8

as someone who can play several instruments, including guitar, piano and trombone, I was unable to master the accordion. It requires not only knowledge of the keyboard, but also simultaneous coordination of the bellows, AND the dizzying array of bass buttons, which are actually chords!
