We are calling for an immediate stop to all purchases from Upper Deck.
Their total lack of communication is distressing—so we call upon everyone to help us escalate.
No purchases from Upper Deck. No media coverage or posts of their games.

Working on a video about nerdrotic and Critical Drinker and Jesus Christ I always forget how utterly insufferable these assholes art, let alone just shameless bigots. I actively feel dumber just looking at their video thumbnails. Just bargain basement content and analysis from incurious assholes.

The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids vary in size from hundreds of kilometers to a dozen meters in diameter. You will be able to explore not only human colonies on large asteroids but old depleted mines on the smaller ones as well.

re: SDCC allowing GenAI into their art show. SDCC costs creators *thousands* of dollars to attend and they think this is ok?
Readers, attendees, and creators alike need to let them know there’s no place for GenAI in the arts, period.

Hey all. I need help. Last year, my accountant made some grievous errors, like counting my entire rent as a deductible. It's decimated our savings— right before we needed them to renew my fiance's visa. If you can share this or donate 10 bucks, it would help us so much. Thank you

It's not great having to ask for help - but if you've enjoyed any of our books, we'd be hugely grateful if you could let people know about them (and where you can buy them)

This novel, Legends And Lattes by Travis Baldree is such a great, cozy read.
It's about an Orc Warrior who stops adventuring and opens up a coffee shop. I adore it.
I've been getting up early to read it at my local coffee shop, going for a walk in the quiet morn, then home to play Baldur's Gate 3.

I sincerely hope people will check out this year's Indie Games Night Market at Pax Unplugged! I covered nine of the games that will be featured there, each of which has something to recommend it. With any luck, some of them will be picked up by publishers or continue to be sold by their creators.
@danthurot.bsky.social returning from last year has done incredible write-ups of so many of the games that will be available at the market!
