I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

When I make something to sell, I aim to fill a niche.
I never thought to consider the overlap between #cryptid fans and pc gamers.

I found Moth Ma'am on the #Steam #nextfest pages.
If you find #mothmaam during Next Fest, play the demo and wishlist it if you enjoy it.

Next Fest starts today.
Since today is a holiday, I have the day off.
I have already gotten multiple emails about promoting my game, so I will be spending the day obsessively checking my progress.

I NEED a new Action Button video.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

the strategists are wiseposting about your diss track

the shortlived wiseposting meme:

"I literally had a nightmare that everyone on the Internet was doing something called "wiseposting" but I just couldn't get it right and so people would bombard my replies with the sentence "mmmm, no, very unwise""

I made another wild berry pie.
I didn't wait for the pectin to congel the berries and juices, so the bottom was soggy.
Which is the way I like it.

Moth Ma'am got its first review/curator recommendation today!
The game comes out October 21.

DRCroston @drcroston.bsky.social · 20d

A curator contacted me tonight.
I didn't expect that.
I have 2 spots left.
I may start expiring offers that haven't been accepted.

The stage of deterioration where gangs of large (mostly) white men just publicly assault people who seem to be brown because they're brown in the hopes of doing far more harm to them in the name of the state. Glad this one escaped.

Should I take the day off when I release my game to Steam?
I feel like I shouldn't go to my night job in case something happens.

I made a little @Susu_jpg or more accurately @scary_susu animation.
I should have exported it at a higher resolution.

The website said they weren't taking new vendors every time I checked. I'm sad to hear there is AI art there.

I gotta remember to post about the Mothman Festival tomorrow.

DRCroston @drcroston.bsky.social · Sep 17

I saw a preview for an advertising opportunity I joined.
I was surprised at how often my game popped up.

The "fuck that guy in particular" defense works.

"...no evidence presented of a desire to terrorize the public, inspire widespread fear, engage in a broader campaign of violence, or to conspire with organized terrorist groups... targeted and discrete killing of one person - is very different from the examples of terrorism set forth in the statute"

This is both sides of "Endure. In enduring grow strong."

Disco Elysium Quotes @discoelysiumbot.bsky.social · Sep 16

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger.

ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.

DRCroston @drcroston.bsky.social · Sep 16

I managed to use all my high speed phone data 4 days before the mothman festival.
If I went I wouldn't be able to advertise.
Maybe I will offer a stay at home alternative like, "Are you missing the mothman festival? With the Moth Ma'am demo on Steam, we all have cryptids at home."

DRCroston @drcroston.bsky.social · Sep 14

I filmed a fake Bigfoot sighting for an ad and got the lowest store views I have ever gotten in a day.
