Here's my new schedule for the Fall of 2025! We'll see how long this lasts, since those Tuesday streams might get interrupted by work, but I want to do them for as long as I can!

Sheela Ornthalas, a short, but "deep"goblin woman with red hair smiles and gestures to the chalkboard beside her, which lays out her ongoing schedule for her Twitch streaming channel, Come & Go Tavern. The sign indicated that she will be working on TTRPG projects every Tuesday and playing Final Fantasy 14 every Friday. Saturdays will alternate, with the first and third Saturday of every month being The Lamplighters League, the second and fourth Saturdays being Cosplay Club, and any fifth Saturdays being a "game du jour" (or "game of the day").

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Stream is complete! We got a decent amount of work done on the NPCs section of the book, but there's plenty more for next week. We passed the love on to @lijourt.bsky.social, who's currently trying out new things with her model!

TTRPG Tuesday

TTRPG Tuesday has come back around again! This time I'll be moving on to the next part of the new GM section for ProtoDrive, so come join me for co-working, talking about TTRPGs, and general hanging out.

You can find this stream at 12pm EDT over at:

www.twitch.tv/comengotavern

Sheela, a short goblin woman with red hair, is moving pieces around a game board with a puzzled look on her face. The sign behind her proclaims that today's stream will be a TTRPG Work Stream, with the text below that says "Today is for working on TTRPGs and other projects, so come join me for some co-working and hanging out!" Behind the sign is a blurred image of the cover of the game "ProtoDrive", which is covered in "Under Construction" safety tape.

Stream complete! We built a new cosplay (twice because of a glitch >:/ ) and lost hard against one of the game's big bosses, but we'll rally and improve and GET HER NEXT TIME!

We passed the love on to @gobpalrosievt.bsky.social, who's playing Resident Evil 4!

It is time to be cute and smash faces once more! In LARP battles, of course. Except when the person is actually being a jerk. Gotta' figure out what's behind all this negativity...

Join me for Cosplay Club at 12pm EDT over at:

Sheela, a goblin woman, contemplates her next move on a game board and says "Time to make cute clothes and get in fist fights with jerks at conventions! Hen...SHIN!!!"

It’s beautiful that he talks about this in a frank and straightforward way, with love and acceptance, and with his normal passion to help and understand others.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

I've been keeping the paperwork moving pretty well lately, but there's a big thing I need to actually go somewhere and take care of today. Here's hoping for a smooth process.

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
