i wrote something angry again about being trans and the self-sacrificial desire to become something dangerous to defend our community from those that mean us harm. I hope it helps you to read it, like it helped to write it.

Most people are inherently furry, whether they know it or not, but every so often you run into someone who is NOT and that's always weird and funny

"if stranger things uses chat gpt, then why shouldn't i??"
counterpoint: stranger things didn't start out using it, and pretty much everybody who's still watching it is only doing so out of some kind of torturous compulsion to set it, and everybody involved with it, including themselves, free 👍

Highly recommend living in a place shrouded with fog for most of Winter. Extra good if there's a mysterious construction project occurring up the lane from where you live so the sounds of hammering metal, screeching rebar, and muffled voices can trickle down to you from the area most dense with fog.

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Lemon pigs. No toothpicks so we just did sprues. Jade insisted upon getting the ones with feet and then proceeded to make the single most bowlegged creature on this or any planet.
I love them.

Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

just found out the repairs to my car after the hit-and-run-will be $500, so if anyone wants to give my new game & the bundle with all my previous games (I Have the High Ground, PLANET FIST, going rogue 2e) a look while these 20% sales are running, it would be much appreciated!
still figuring out if insurance will cover it, but in the meantime it'd mean the world if you'd consider:
1. picking up my latest game "The Vatican Stole the Menorah and We're Going to Steal Back": jumpgategames.itch.io/tvstmawgtsib
