But just imagine the accomplishment of drawing a creature that even its own artist fears.

Nah, its actually far worse than just that.
It's a coup.
Literally.

What is DOGE? A coup.
One that used to be called RAGE:

To be fair, Elons version is a lot stupider and more likely to fail.

Playing by the rules to oppose those who write those rules... Yeah. Of course just breaking those rules is also accounted for... Got to think laterally, and act en masse.

This one has a lot more details to what the playbook say and how Elon is changing it.

The chaos is the point. And what is that chaos obscuring? A literal coup by the musk rat.

Neither will Trump. But what follows that will be another kind of hell.

And SCOTUS is Leonard Leos fault. And his minions from the federalist society.

That's called a General Strike.
And the answer is yes.

It already hard enough for me to do what I want to do AND is easy. But thank you all the same, every little push helps me along to carve the next word into the world.
I'll get there.

I keep forgetting that Tabby can be a persons nickname and that you aren't married to an orange cat.

I wasn't even intending to make a setting, but now I'm glad that the world I ended up with is a churning mass of elemental energies, layered metaphysics and forgotten memories.
Can't get bogged down in the details mapping what never holds still!
...It is harder in other ways, granted.

Electron scattering is literal but when they scatter to the same place they are polite and take turns.

He was always performatively leftist. A paper revolutionary who was never invested in making things better.

And specifically for TTRPGs its great for naming, describing and implying things. I've been using it a whole lot with my gamedev.

They are useful, but I often fimd them too limiting when I want to change HOW I convey something rather than just getting the right word choice.
My favorite answer to that is the Word Association Network:

They'll use this as a weapon, of course. Which is why they didn't give him any other choice even after the election.
Regardless, I'm glad this part is over. Neither of them deserved that.

While definitely a good thing, keep in mind that both here and there are owned by folks with similar tech elitist "ideals" - and part of that is about dividing groups to better manipulate them.
Always question, always doubt, and always - ALWAYS - pay attention.

Independant artists absolutely need tools and teamwork to stand for themselves in this corrupt and captured industry. Looking forward to whatever efforts you make, and to supporting it.
Besides that all I can say is good luck, fellow Renegade.

There's a bit of a mistranslation concerning his trade: he was a "builder" but the local environment back then (like now) has little to no wood available. So what material was actually used to build homes with?
Stone.
The son of gawd was JACKED.
Also, his quotes refer to stone far more than wood.

As long as you have the energy to give - its important to keep yourself from shining brightly only for those without eyes to see.

"Not visibly overwhelmed by negativity all the time" is still a praiseworthy bar to clear.

My general advice is to abstract it a bit, maybe focusing on the movement, mood, or some other relevant dynamic. That doesn't make it *easy* but its a less frustrating approach.

Technically it can be bad without impacting the gameplay too much, depending on context... But mostly its just a matter of increasingly low expectations.

Dark Tower story elements would be a great addition to any lovecraftian hellscape - including the one or two Ryukuza introduced.

Not like I could have known, back then. But just because I lacked the capacity then doesn't mean I can't regret what couldn't have been...

"Universal Entropic Death" is a fun phrasing for it.

That's the way it should be - or rather that we should be able work less intensely so that the battery doesn't drain at all.
Find what respite you can, lord knows many of us need the same.

Even THAT wouldn't be stable, given how money and resources work.
Its an insanity that is incompatible with reality.

The poor education has a lot to do with them being manipulated, but isn't the reason they're poor. That's purely a matter of our economy being designed to bleed us dry of everything, including our ability to think.
We forget what - and who - capitalism is actually for.

Often there is fear yes, but what most folks don't realize is how much of it is fueled by disgust. Intense and blinding disgust over their very twisted ideas of certain people, and the satisfaction they get by lashing out at them.
