@kierongillen.bsky.social, @stephaniehans.bsky.social and @claytoncowles.bsky.social did their usual amazing job on the second issue of DIE: Loaded.
It was a joy to look into with @armaanautomatic.itch.io, seeing what early theories had proven right and forming a bunch of new ones.

A Godbinder and a Rage Knight find themselves lost in a realm of endless artscapes, with little idea of why they’re there, and what they’re meant to do. There’s a steep learning curve, but with the help of a mysterious new Master or two, they just might figure things out before they face the game’s final boss — or will they?

the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life
I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.
I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

And the folks who are actually writing full-time generally only got there after years of day jobs, family support, or both.
The point of sharing this is not to demoralize anyone, but to let emerging writers know they're not failing if they can't make a living off writing alone. Almost no one can.

almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.
