Just found out that my drama club director passed away last year. Really hit me hard. He was one of the few teachers who encouraged me instead of yelling at me. He always said he knew I was talented and capable of anything he set before me and all I needed to do was try my best.

Got a cloak pin brooch to add to my Barkeep costume.

I've never really drawn dragons before so I gave it a shot by drawing the faery dragon familiar of the wizard in my short story. I'm quite happy with it so far.

When you hear a chorus start singing hauntingly you know it's time to whip out the big guns.

Me realizing I use the adjective 'gentle' way too much when writing.

PaxU was awesome! Got to see old friends and obtain some goodies! Here's hoping being there only 1 day allows me to evade the Con Crud 😂

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

I mean it from the bottom of my heart, just create for yourself first and then for the five people you keep captive in your basement.

Getting through a meeting unscathed is difficult at an Adventurer Bar.

Saw a streamer ask a voice actor about the AI generated voices in arc raiders and what to do if they love the game but still want to support VAs. They basically said "Don't play the game."

He still streams it. Why even ask in the first place if you are going to just ignore the answer they give you?
I'm here to tell you that voice actors (even very very good ones) are not expensive, more than make up for their cost in the value they bring to your game, and if Baldur's Gate can record real actors for every line of dialogue in the game, so can you for your 100 generic barks or even specific ones.

Our first session of Blades went well. Their contact, a petty middle-aged woman who owns what passes for a luxury boutique in a world where the sun was shattered, hired them to sabotage the perfume a rival stole from her to gain the favor of some nobles.

Someone inventing a new energy source? Surely only good things can come of this.

Starting our Blades in the Dark game this week and I'm excited to get back on the streets of Duskvol. My players already have really fun characters including a handyman turned criminal, and a grave keeper with the ability to wrestle ghosts. 😂

Episode 3 of Campaign 4 was crazy. So many insane reveals. Brennan isn't pulling any punches and this is still the Overture 😭

Watching the second episode of CR4 and when the noble dude tells Azune that they are removing most of the city guards so that noble houses can patrol the streets with their own guards instead, I immediately got the nervous sweats.
