The fact that there are people who see Tim as some enlightened truth teller is truly one of the most embarrassing facts about humanity.

Tomorrow morning I am getting on a train to go run our second event of DreamLands.

At that point if I've forgotten something then it is forgotten.

*stares into the camera* Who could possibly be running a game in this event?

It's Locus by @cobblesprite.bsky.social and @obskeree.bsky.social, okay? I managed to persuade folx to let me run it. The fools.

My friend was just told by her parents that they won't be helping with her transition at all despite already promising money. Her surgery is already booked and she needs extra funds urgently.

So we really don't like to build our name off of someone else's dipshittery

but five months after this post
(which was not the first SM fuckery)

almost EVERY new sticker client mentions wanting to get away from Sticker Mule

So thanks, I guess, weird Sticker Mule guy.

Inkling @printinkling.bsky.social · Apr 15

We quality checked THREE THOUSAND stickers by hand this morning

I've had actually conversations with every single person who has ever ordered stickers from us.

We care about the quality of clients receive, not how cheap we can make them.

But go off about your robots, Donkey Show 💀

well it’s looking like the swap meet is a bust this week which is kinda horrifying cause we needed it for rent, i got a fucking ticket and my credit card bill is due

can’t wait for the day i can stop having to do this, but if anybody has anything they can spare to help it would really mean so much.

Heya, Graphics are a thing I do!

I need to sort out a rates list, but I tend to base my prices on a £15 per hour baseline.

Well, it's about time that I find someone to give money in exchange for the production of a cool logo for an upcoming project.

Hoping this is worded enough to not summon bots and spam. But if this is something you do, reach out with rates and samples!

The idea that realistic = better in games is a truly rotten and imbecilic idea.

Shame it's so widespread

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

I mean that is kinda what Curseborne is?

It's got some differences, a lot based on some social differences in the times.

But in a fair few ways it's the new version of WoD.

Hilariously you will actually be able to fight the only bosses in the game that do 1 damage on some of their attacks rather than 2.

I'd also add Game Design and all the non visible work that's floating in the background of every ttrpg!
