YES! i am also constantly bothered by this whenever asian cultures are inevitably introduced into fantasy settings. always an orientalist version where cultures are horrifically frankensteined, only the palest complexions and the skinniest bodies, there are only 3 types of personalities allowed

Oh gods, looks like I'm some wannabe journalist. At least I won't snitch to the feds about something that seems generally harmless.
Well, now I'm an English professor...

Finally got to do the latest session in the beta test after nearly a month of delays due to scheduling issues. Thank heck! And the good news is that one of my players is building into an untested magic form now, not to mention I got to try out making a special type of damage that mostly worked out.

@rittzler.bsky.social (creator of Pseudoregalia), has had their Discord and email hacked and is linking to a virus in disguise. If you see anything linking to a game called "Furfall", DO NOT engage with it. It's not made by Rittz and isn't a real game (it's a Remote Access Trojan) DO NOT CLICK IT.

Can the gradual enshittification of apps and programs to force people to pay more money just stop already? Maybe it's my autism brain, but I can't understand why that ever took off as a thing. It's counter-intuitive to every single aspect of making things...

How hard is it not to be a greedy ass?

No, BlueSky user who thinks this is still 2012 Tumblr. Liking Clair Obscur and Baldur’s Gate 3 before anybody knew their devs use Slop Machines is not a moral failing that requires apologies and “being held accountable”.

So particularly if you are new to this and seeing frequent “if you don’t like making [art] don’t be an [artist!]” and thinking “But sometimes I DON’T like it…” and Imposter Syndrome is gathering you close and whispering you’re-nothings in your ear, please push it away.

Why does everything fun or interesting have to require ludicrous amounts of money? My ambitions can't keep up with my bank account at this rate...

it makes me sad to think about people talking to chatGPT like it's their best friend. why can't they just form parasocial attachments to video essayists and podcasters like i do? this sounds like i'm telling a joke except i actually do think that what i do is healthier lol i have no evidence though

I struggle to think of anything more rewarding but stressful than making a custom campaign for your friends, especially as a group moderator. On one hand, you get to see them go to town in a world of your own making and give them an event to look forward to. On the other hand, if they hate it...

How about everyone cancel their subscriptions like they did when Kimmel was removed from his late night show? It would probably make a difference like last time.
Disney and OpenAI sign a deal to bring 200+ Disney characters to Sora

Disney makes $1 billion investment in OpenAI and will become a "major" OpenAI customer

Today I am once again being forced to send one of my favourite emails to a colleague. When will they learn?

It's a bit funny how people don't think to ask something like this. ^^; I mean I know WHY, but it's not always the worst case scenario.

Puppy would love it, really. This might be why nobody has ever been able to get her off. heh

I adore this comic. uwu💖

I really do love my local furry group. We managed to play a game of Sus Simulator (a.k.a. Among Us) without devolving into arguments or fights!

These floofs are amazing beans. Some of the best, even.

Just some proof that stuff to do with the custom TTRPG system is coming along well. Apologies for the extreme zoom, but I wanted to capture as many pages as possible in a single image.

Plus I want to save at least a few surprises for when it releases fully.

Alrighty... the time to drop a tragic and traumatic backstory onto the players of my custom campaign looms ever closer. And let's just say that one of them isn't coming out of this completely unscathed~

And tonight's Pathfinder session is finished! Somehow made it through a single fight without taking damage *and* sparing multiple enemies.

My Catfolk Guardian is starting to become downright functional, and that's what we love to see!

For those of y'all who aren't aware of the joys of dating a gigglepuppy [a.k.a. hyena], everyone should try it. They're such fun!

For example, Coralie Fargeat did this fantastically in Revenge, where the scene follows another character, Dmitri, watching TV with the event done mostly through sound design. The most you ever see of the actual event is a part of Jen's body through a window with the camera focus on the pool.
Unless the story is ready and willing to delve into the impact of such a thing, DON'T INCLUDE IT. I can't say this enough.

And even if the story *is* able to delve into it, don't film or write it like a scene from a porn video. That's hypocritical to an insane degree. The implication is enough.

I'm begging every writer, animator, director, artist... everyone who could possibly work on a movie, show, or write a book, to follow one piece of key advice:

Sexual assault isn't the only way to traumatize someone. It's not sexy. It's not "exciting". It's horrifically overdone *and* poorly done.
