Souls Weighed Down by IsaTheEngie
A non-linear adventure for 3 to 5 LL6 players, filled with nanomachines and threats of a celestial impact.

I made another adventure for Lancer for game jam, and this one is far more ambitious than the first!
It's currently in beta since it's a hefty module, but if you wanna check it out and maybe toss me a few bucks for it, here to go. Feedback is much appreciated! isatheengie.itch.io/souls-weighe...

Since I'm not a visual person, I've often struggled with showing what I want from artists. The most I can do is text, stick figures, photobashes, etc. This has caused problems in the past.
I still refuse to use A*I for concepts. I'd rather pay (and have paid) artists for work they bin than use it.

“We just use AI to generate ideas for our concept art”
Yes, you're just using a plagiarism machine that spits out a mishmash of creativity and ideas from thousands of creative people who didn't consent to their work being used in this way. And you're using this as the foundation for your game. 💀

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI
The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage
This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

So, ah... you don't have to watch The Game Awards. Just watch the trailers when they drop after the show; save your sanity while harming on Keighley's bottom line.

Found out I was accidentally working in B Dorian instead of regular ol B Major and now everything makes slightly more sense.
In other news, music theory is unhinged and I have a love/hate relationship with it

God I really gotta get around to rebuilding my local digital music collection. My physical music is already solid since I've got CDs and vinyl, but digital is severely lacking.

While I'm glad it got removed, it doesn't make Amazon chill now. They only removed it because of the backlash, not because they suddenly developed a conscience. It pisses me off thinking about how much environmental damage generating 12 hours of AI voices must have done just to delete it all anyway.

Also, as a former barista, this comic is absurd. Someone ordering black coffee when there's a line is a mercy because it's a quick and easy order.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Feels like this is probably the ideal year to stop even hate-watching and live-posting the game awards. I feel like we can exercise that amount of restraint and self-love, yeah?

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Settled for something that sounded vaguely interesting after being told that I wouldn't be supported in several things I wanted to do because my parents told me they wouldn't make me enough money to live.
