If you consider someone sharing their Patreon on the same level of "noise" as the unfettered ads put out by corporations, unfollow me.

I'm not having it, or your entitled bullshit.

The content you are enjoying has a real person behind it just trying to survive. Honor that, or sit the fuck down.

I wonder if anyone who contributed to the new $600k to #Obojima cares that what they're buying is inauthentic and soulless.

I'm sad that we're here again.

Anyway, 1985 doesn't care and neither do the authors. They're just going to use my culture to make money.

No idea what the difference is between an ISBN, CIP, and a MARC record? Want your game (or book) in libraries? Not sure where to start?

This can help: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/game-catal...
If you are self publishing you may also pay or apply for:

* ISBN number from Bowker
* PCN (CIP) through the Pre Pub Book Link at LoC
This requires you to ship a published copy after publication is complete.

Getting into the CIP is important.

We’re super pumped for this collab too! Breathless is a heckuvah game!!
If you had told me in 2021 this would have happened, I would have told you that you were out of your mind.

Sora is a paper machete. It is low-quality, impossible to make consistent or reliable, while also being incredibly expensive to run. Every single “good” video you’ve seen is cherrypicked from dozens of terrible ones to make you feel scared that this can create entire movies’ worth of content.
Curious to hear your perspective on Sora. It seems to be the only real (and terrifying) AI product to hit the market lately. How much mileage are they going to get out of this thing that needs to be regulated out of existence?

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this
Texas 🤣❤️‍🔥
Right??? Just that first session was 🤌👌
Especially given the weird mispronunciation as "anTIfa" which I am fully convinced is on purpose to mask what it really stands for.

Este estudio estara iniciando con talento Mexicano y Latinoamericano para vincular animadores de varios paises y ifrecera estudios a un animador Mexicano por cda ciclo escolar durante una decada entera.
Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

Reshare: Even as TSR and D&D’s early periods receive the gold-standard treatment, there’s much more to the hobby than one game and one company. But are those histories actually important? What is at stake if we forget them?

Glad to see the Tabletop Games series at @uofmpress.bsky.social take off with @jreylee.bsky.social's book on Catan.

Clear, unambiguous writing on abstraction and gaming with regard to colonial themes.
Finally taking another stab at them (with a gap of probably >30 years after the first try) and now I cannot conceive of any of the characters in ways other than their look and demeanor as portrayed on the show. 😅

Can not recommend @ipr.bsky.social enough. So many folks have reached out about playing MIRU now that it's in stores across the nation! Also stores deserve more options for their customers! And they show at conventions! They have a great booth!
One of our four favorite days of the year, as we send payments to 247 member-publishers.

Our thanks to all our publishers, customers, and retailers for a strong quarter, and to our hard-working staff.
Don't come back to AZ, it's definitely not drier here rn. 😅

No real spoilers, just my sense of how Mulligan's workflow and an expanded cast meets Critical Role's signature style -- what I think are the strengths of that collaboration, and the potential weak points I am keeping an eye on.

Free for all.
