That would be like herding cats as they say in IT. Sounds good on paper but far from simple to pull off with millions of opinions against established billionaires that control everything.

Mr I’ll Do & Say Anything For Money it would seem.

Well thought out content presented in a fun/interesting way is what matters to me. I prefer more independent creators over big time over produced slop as well, not auto generated AI.

At least he seems to have changed his creepy smile 😬

Thanks. Yes, I want them to add to the gaming experience, not be another thing players don’t like doing. Part of the experience etc

I like making more physical type trackers but along those lines for ttrpg character stats.

People unfortunately are often more stupid than we give them credit for.

Most governments seem incapable of planning anything especially complex multi level plots. It often starts with a half assed idea that spins out of control.

Been a while, but finally something new on the Etsy shop - Daggerheart character stats tracker dial with removable magnetic dry-eraseable max stats panel.

Ya, it's frustrating. You think you've found something that helps, then, bam, it is back out of the blue, as bad or worse than before. :-(

I'm going to increase my dose and see if it helps...

Sigh. 5 migraines in 4 days after a month of none taking venlafaxine. Thought it was helping. Now I’m not sure what is going on. The randomness of migraines. Weee.

We all get those days, triggered by the oddest thing... not that a broken virtual model in a game is odd per se...

So neat to see our custom creations on display in @emmathorne.bsky.social new studio. Glad to be able to add a small touch to the duckish aesthetics for such a cool/silly creator/little guy 🦆

And my point was all platforms have issues. A search on Kick for example showed concerns with gambling, crypto, death of a streamer they are being charged with etc.

It’s not as easy as just “do better” and go elsewhere unfortunately for smaller single creators that are trying to pay bills. 🤷‍♂️
