The first book I'm committing to reading in 2026 is ✝️ THE HOLY BIBLE ✝️ mainly so that I can then read what was going to be my actual first book, Moby Dick (this Ishmael bitch will not stop yapping about the Bible)

Seeing people post creative goals for next year so here's mine: get much, much more of my art in trrpg books. Stick fingers in pies.

Looking at the calendar it's almost exactly a month since I caught a cold... which lasted 10 days unless you count the additional 20 days of coughing so hard my intercostal rib muscles got so battered and bruised I felt like I'd been hit by a car 😵

I would be doing what I do even without itch.io, without software, without an audience. Without pens and paper, I would still think it to myself. It's an essential part of being alive for me.
Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.
It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.
If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

Critical Role campaign 4 has been surprisingly fun so far but no matter how juicy the story and roleplay is there's truly nothing that can drain my interest in a show like the brick wall of 5e combat

Would love to see the stats on how much psychic obliteration has been done to my brain cells from simply having to interface with student loans — and I'm not even paying mine at the moment

Been replaying Armored Core 6 this week and... yeah I'm still butting up against the fact that while the game is lots of fun it is impossible to make a mech in it that feels cool or interesting to me and I feel like I might be the only mf on this planet who feels that way lmao

Thank you Amazon Prime for inexplicably starting my viewing of The Green Knight at the 50 minute mark.
I was having a good time watching what I thought was a *very* dreamlike fantasy movie that didn't give a shit about audience comprehension and I was honestly here for it

This probably makes me unbased but those anti-AI filters ppl put on art make stuff look ugly af and I can't earnestly believe no one thinks it makes a difference. Art theft sucks but I can't quite understand feeling so pressed about *your* art being exploited *so* badly you need to make it 3% uglier
