Now that I'm officially hopping over here instead of the cesspit:

I'm Rhys! I'm a freelance proofreader and bookseller, which is most of what I post about, but I'm also a FFXIV, SS14, and horror fiction guy. I also build websites, including the predominant Blaseball guide for much of its lifetime.

There are many other things I could, and even should, be doing. However, the horror of a horse girl being returned to a state of tabula rasa should you fail to propel her to victory in the big race, doomed to forget friends and fans and every skill she has ever learned, is more fun than those things

Rhys @remproofs.bsky.social · Jul 22

I've had half a litre of iced coffee today and as such have forced a friend to listen to my crack theory about how Umamusume is actually a horror game about horse girls trapped in a kind of purgatory where their only ties to the world of the living lie in the adoration of their fans

He still really wants me to come paint Warhammer minis with him (a hobby I have never, ever displayed any interest in), and may be shocked that I am not inclined to take him up on the offer. That five minute conversation is maybe the funniest thing that has ever happened to me.

Having someone from my very religious high school show up at my workplace is always a mixed bag, but I did not have "When corrected about my name having changed, refuses to use any form of address other than 'Gamer'" on my bingo card.

A digital illustration, a portrait of a vivid blue reptilian with a contrasting yellow eye. They have a upturned snout like a hog-nose snake, pointed ears with a small earpiece, horns, and a mane like a cobra. Their right eye is scarred pink, and they are flicking their tongue out. They wear a plain white button up and a black tie, and a grey strap of a bag is on their shoulder. Watermarked in several places read "NO GEN-AI, NO REUPLOADS", "DO NOT REUPLOAD", and "HAND DRAWN BY THEOSIST 2025". The background is a dark, glitchy static.

She is still the big three:
- screamy
- scrungly
- stupid as hell

Rhys @remproofs.bsky.social · Feb 2

This picture of Anathema (scrungly edition) waking up from a nap really, really sums up the last few weeks neatly

I try to curate a sanity-preserving level of distance from social media discussions around it, because it is very, very easy to slide into a pit where things feel hopeless. But I also think that it is important for our industry to start swinging, because this technology compromises everything we do.
