Hello bluesky!
This page is me posting:
▪︎ DnD (running Curse of Strahd, love Dimension 20)
▪︎ Gaming (mainly RPGs; love Dragon Age, Divinity and Pathologic)
▪︎ Art (mostly fanart, I'm also a game artist I guess)
▪︎ Compsci (sorry)
▪︎ Politics (I'm queer and a leftist and this is a warning)

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.
1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.
2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

A few years ago I made a series of mini drawings of interesting Irish women (available as a print here www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/...) - this thread is a little information on the women featured, partly because it's useful, but mostly because I'm trying to be sustainable by recycling content.

A friend just had her checking account wiped out by her family's new health insurance premium (which went from $890 a month to $2800). The thing is, she'd cancelled the policy in early December, assuming it would also cancel the autopay.
Nope.
Nope.

You cannot technically explain yourself out of UX issues, please stop trying.
So often I see users bring up UX issues, and programmers then tell them how much work it was to create their product.
It doesn't matter how much work it was!! What matters is if your target audience uses it or not.

The thing you jokers are calling "ideological purity testing" is the same thing textbooks call "minimum ethical standards."

instead of I don't want to talk about it, I tell people who ask of my 30 year old student who made 10 games in our community that died quickly from covid, a friend since 2008 who passed away after months of complications, few friends with long covid severe enough for years it's hard to earn a living

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

You get all these artistic depictions of the Chicxulub asteroid that have it as, like, this big glowing rock in the sky, like the moon from Majora's Mask, and "oh, what would that have been like!? Imagine the stress!"
But the reality is almost worse.

As some of you are aware, part of Dragon Age day was to thank the DA Devs for all the hard work they put into the series we love so much.
This is also the first DA Day where we have no DA team, as they were laid off earlier this year.
So let's make an effort to support their new projects!🧵
