So was reading up on Psych Horror for #CandelaObscura and this site/article writer decided to censor Alfred Hitchcock's name in the most stupidly hilarious way.
Pic of a web article talking about Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock and for some reason it is spelt Hitchc*ock in every entry of his name. Seemingly in an attempt to censor the word "cock" in his name.

Don't know if anyone else is having elections right now, but if you are make sure your voice is heard.

I don't care who you are. It is a privilege to be able to vote and a hefty responsibility to vote.

You want to know one of the worst things is? Going to grab a string cheese snack and realizing they f******* sealed the peel section down so now you have to use scissors or letter opener or something to get it open.

Doing my due diligence. Inkarnate has stepped back on their plans to allow AI assets. Very relieved.

Because I posted about this originally I feel responsible to share the follow-up.

#Inkarnate has officially stated it will not allow AI into their marketplace. My trust is a little shaken but I am happy they did listen in the end.

Little update post since I've been busy.

Fiancée (@jennaxxe.bsky.social) and I have a house now. Painting is looking good if I do say so myself. Still a lot of work to do but on pace to move in before Sept 😁 #DIY
Freshly painted living room with assorted painting supplies lying around and a ladder in the middle of it. It's painted warm off white.

There really is no other feeling like waking up realizing you started a new project last night when you have at least a dozen active/unfinished ones you are already working on.

Anyway, airship racing.

Slow at work so might as well show some holy symbols I made for my Mistenwald world setting last night.

Here is one for Dod the god of death, Kunnskap the god of knowledge, & Feil the god of insects.

Norwegian speakers please forgive my haphazard use of your language 😅.

The holy symbol of Dod the god of death. It is a simple doorway The holy symbol of Kunnskap the god of knowledge. It is a simple sketch of a four pointed star with an eye in the center. The holy symbol of Feil the god of insects. It is a simple sketch of a fly's compound eyes with a proboscis sticking out below them.

Damn my players cleared two monster hunts this month.

Took the time to do a low level one for the new player and speed ran the aberration guarding a portal.

Polymorph is a pain of a spell 😅.

The expansion is progressing nicely. Have two separate labs, one for iron and one for lumber.

Rockledge, Derry, and Loveland all are connected via a passenger/mail train.

Got the hang of things so starting a new save for Voxel Tycoon. Already super excited with the potential of this one.

Already noticing things I haven't before.

I just discovered Voxel Tycoon and I am hooked. Look at all my trains! (Reddish lines). I've optimized so the trucks only have to travel around their individual towns and have some buses running between them.

I... might have sent a little too much time on this.

I'm sharing a link to the archive of my monthly newsletter ONLY because I want to show off the new monster I made for my monster hunting campaign.

Look at him, he's so cute :D
