One of my favourite phenomena in indie tabletop RPGs is when someone decides they're going to make the Perfect OSR Game by going straight back to white box D&D, then very gradually discovers over the course of much playtesting and many revisions that certain later developments happened for a reason.

Cabin in the Woods but it's a lesbian couple in a genre show and they become aware that, by decree of the gods, one or both of them MUST be killed off.

So they get heavily armed and start making a plan to defy fate.

Anyway is this the story I had published this year that made the most people claim to have leaked their precious vital essences out of their eyes? MAYBE. Am I thinking about the end of the world a lot? (A lot a lot a lot?) YES.

Four very good reviews here that all have totally different reads, but all feel like they’re in conversation with one another. Extremely healthy and GOOD.

‘Horses,’ the Most Controversial Game of the Year, Doesn’t Live Up to the Hype
First it was banned. Then its sales blew up. But “Horses” fails to meet the lofty goals of its own ideas.

I got up and wrote the Zen piece yesterday mainly because I just felt like writing something. 8 hours later something that had some blood and sweat and tears came out. I felt like I closed my eyes and woke up and it was night. I love that feeling so much. It’s amazing. Lucky I get to experience it

This is something about "AI" that I have a hard time putting into words, but creators just love the WORK. It's just fun. Even when it's hard. All the thinking, and all the detail work, and all the struggle, it makes the things we make, I don't know... have weight and value for us.

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

brian is doing crucial work and you should read his newsletter every week (but especially this week)
Last but CERTAINLY not least, I’m pleased to share this interview with Nathan Grayson. Grayson is a great veteran games journalist—he’s worked at the Washington Post, Kotaku, and beyond—author of the book STREAM BIG about the rise of Twitch, and, most saliently for our purposes today, the co-founder of Aftermath, the worker-owned video games website that just celebrated its second birthday. In honor of that hallmark, and at the end of a wild year in games, we logged onto Signal to chat AI, labor, and journalism in the gaming world. It’s been lightly edited for length and clarity. BLOOD IN THE MACHINE: Happy birthday to Aftermath! Thanks for being one of the few shining lights in a decaying media landscape currently flooded with shit. How does it feel? Nathan Grayson, co-founder of Aftermath: Good on a personal level, bad in the “general state of the world” sense. I’m extremely proud of what we’ve accomplished and how much the site has grown—we’re on the verge of hitting subscriber targets that will allow us to pay ourselves livable salaries and hire another person—but it also feels weird to stand atop what feels like a solid foundation while so many publications and institutions are crumbling beneath our feet. For the first time in my career as a journalist, I can’t be laid off; that’s an incredibly freeing feeling. But much as we’d like to provide tons of other writers and reporters with similar security, we’re still a fledgling organization. At the very least, Aftermath is a much more serious business than it was two years ago, but we’ve still got a lot of growing to do.

This looks like Carcinus maenas or similar, yes close enough to a real species (in shape, obviously not color!) #Crustmas

I like the detail of the artist reflected in the carapace

Why is everyone so obsessed w/ the school au enemies-to-lovers queerbait Oz musical and not the actual later Oz books where the rightful queen of Oz returns and she's a trans girl who becomes Dorothy's "totally platonic" life partner.

They should be making movies about that.

Fröhliche Krampusnacht!

On account of my Black Forest ancestry, here's my take on Frau Perchta, the demonized version of Berchta, an ancient pagan Goddess who co-led The Wild Hunt, whose narrative was turned by the early church into that of a witch. Either way, you'd best take care with her... 🖤

The White House’s insistence on using Sabrina Carpenter’s work and image to promote their crimes against humanity is also them appealing to their base, which already uses technology to try and humiliate and puppeteer the likenesses of women who have autonomy, success, and visibility in public

#PudgyHorse Lascaux Tribute 2. A companion piece to the first, following one of the other cave horses with a darker colour morph. Again, painted with pigments made by Mary Sanche from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020.

#ArtAdventCalendar
Painting of my character, Pudgy Horse, a horse of baroque type appearance with luxuriant mane and tail, and deliberately exaggerated proportions, including short, slender legs with dainty hooves and an extremely generous girth; here painted in tribute to one of the famous horses in the Lascaux cave paintings using similar colours and simplified shapes.
