Is there an art tool / photo manipulation program that has a decent text tool with good font selection?

Life is kinda silly. It's pointless yet it keeps happening.

I wish heaven was real.

Oh alchemy update. No retcons necessary, the cycle of creation and destruction of the elements still works. The change is clarifying.

Light and dark directly create and destroy each other. And are not influenced by other elements directly but instead disrupted by the elemental cycles.

How come historically 'pain is virtue' was such an uncommon religious / ideological precept?

I know it's been done to death but I have to put biblical themes related to the darker parts of the Bible in my next game. Also a bit of heresy. Don't worry it's not uninspired there will be two stories at work at the same time I'm taking this seriously as a personal project.

Why did valentinian Christianity fall out of favor? It makes too much sense.

Though honestly it's weird with the separation of old god and new god. I personally see the change as character growth rather than that. But the change is sudden enough that it's a logical conclusion.

my pc is on its last leg unfortunately. it died this morning and I don't think it's going to get better.

I can rent out my brain if you're interested. I do #ttrpg , and am autistic.

I do need a new computer...

Why can't commissioning an artist be like commissioning a chef? Can I please order the "what you recommend"?

I'm not qualified as an artist since I make abstract pieces, but a commission would feel in-authentic if it had too much oversight or too many restrictions by someone else.

it's been a long enough break that I should get back to writing for my game. I'm going to start with writing for a solo dungeon crawler to get me back into it. it's going to be mechanically a lot closer to my original concept for mana.

#ttrpg #indiegames (why does that look spelled wrong?)

it's sad that the internet is the place I learned to talk to people. and also, that I can't type worth a damn and need to rewrite 50% of the words I type.

I want to get a group together. Anyone looking for a group? #ttrpgs.
November 11, 2025 at 5:00 AM
If you want to talk about game design for #ttrpgs I'm usually available. I have 13 years playing and writing. Though this is mostly cuz I need human interaction, life has been rough since my partner died.

In 2002-2005 I wasn't old enough to say my first words but I feel like #ttrpgs peaked sometime during those years.

A question about an alchemy problem 🧵 #ttrpgs #indiegames

in Gebers alchemical theory it was believed that everything was made up of different amounts of the four elements (water, earth, fire, air). but that metals specifically were made up of different amounts and forms of sulfur and mercury.

I'm ok by the way. a little worn out but this is nothing new

we live in a machine of our own making, a machine fueled by our bodies and souls. a machine that its purpose is contradicted by its nature.

don't ask why this map took so long. the canvas size I made for it is 12k by somthin else. this is a topography map so redder means higher.
October 26, 2025 at 4:09 AM
No I forgot to daily post 😭. I'm making a map for the setting guide
October 23, 2025 at 11:27 PM
I'm reading the fearun setting guide for d&d 3e. the way it's organized is somewhat confusing but I didn't realize a setting guide was utility and not just a fiction dump (makes sense why people like them now). that does mean I can make clear goals for myself in writing a setting guide.
October 21, 2025 at 11:11 AM
I'm going to make a setting guide since that feels necessary. I'm going for largely western fantasy but without Nordic or Christian influence and a focus on western alchemy. Though the Chinese influence is going to be clear with what is effectively qi and mastery of the self being central themes.

I am so bad at naming things. can I get name suggestions for a continent? if I spelled that correctly...
October 20, 2025 at 11:34 PM
turns out it's hard to daily post about one subject...
October 20, 2025 at 6:52 AM
I should continue writing. my game is missing a little bit here and there. it's functionally complete though. just having nobody to play it with and my general attitude of melancholy is a bit of a hindrance. still it'd be a shame if years of my life are wasted on something I didn't finish.
