If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

I hate to be this guy but I do think there's a moral imperative to switching to Linux, I think it is the most important thing you can do if you really believe Microsoft is an irredeemably evil company.

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

35 Electric is set in the Pacific Northwest in 1959. Just like Misericorde, I wrote, illustrated, and composed music for it. @aerialshading.bsky.social is also contributing graphic design, and designed the logo/title you see in the trailer!

The world has been grinding me down into a pulp and I haven't been promoting The Vow as much as I should be. If you liked it, it would mean the world to me if you made your own post about it! Word of mouth is the only way it gets discovered because of its NSFW content and everything helps 💙
Two people, used only as weapons, are forced together by the shackles of duty to fight a divine foe. Mutual loathing and repressed desires collide, hot and bleeding.
The Vow is a 300 page dark fantasy graphic novel, with art by @feralroyal.bsky.social and words by me. 18+ only.

I helped a bit as a narrative consultant on HORSES working with a couple of the good folks at Santa Ragione. I hope you'll check it out, it's really like nothing else I've played before.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.
