#GenCon Badge bought. I'll likely run games under one banner or another, maybe both (see Bio!) depending on how schedules can be coordinated, but I'm not gonna rely on either for a badge in case my plans get derailed, because gross to have to cancel games and still get a free badge. (1/5)

I'm gonna break my self-imposed rules about profanity on this account. This is straight-up Nazi horseshit. Fuck no. Also, if society would stop demonizing LGBTQ+ folks, they couldn't be blackmailed over it, thus leading to them being a "security risk" if they work for the Gov.

Things are getting a bit scary over here. I'd really like to try to raise at least $500 in the next couple weeks to make sure I can stay safe for another month or two.

If you ever read your past published work and it makes your teeth feel like soap, don't sweat it. Your past work is good. Your teeth are fine. Nobody noticed how many times you used the word "secluded"

Anyone have recommendations for 2-player TTRPGs that are designed for campaign play? Preferably not 1 GM & 1 player, but open to those as well. Self-promo is welcome!

My Omni arrived! This thing is gorgeous. Like, it's so pristine I think it might need some cosmetic distressing to look like it's a well-used tool of a Voyager. It's not a functional hero-prop - no lights, the dials don't individually move - but so F-ing what? It's really well done, I'm diggin' it.

So does ordering a prop from an Etsy seller in Canada put me on a watch list now that they've been declared a foreign adversary? Who am I kidding? Because of my personal BSky Alt account, I'm sure I'm on several already. </sarcasm?>

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

The Govt effort to standardize on 'LGB' is vile. It erases huge swaths of the community in the public mind so that they can be more easily Othered and abused and LITERALLY erased. It's also a clear effort to sow division within the community itself. Don't fall for it. Don't accept it. Solidarity.

Gotta head out & run some errands. Gonna put out another call to see if I can land some work. If you're lookin for some fancy baubles & barware, I recently did a massive price drop across both my shops to help it be more affordable in this gods forsaken economy. Customs welcome. linktr.ee/punklenix

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

I haven't ever done much Cosplay, just basic stuff here and there, but I have a prop on the way from Etsy that's basically the whole outfit due to the nature of the thing. It's an Omni from "Voyagers!" I'm Old (hence the choice - awesome show), and have limited time to do Cosplay, leave me be! 😜

All I can be is me. Just a guy who has a dream of living small & doing my best. I strive to invest in my art & be part of a community at large. A small part in a big world. Trying to cultivate joy. If you'd like to help support a man & his dream, any little bit helps. 💜 ko-fi.com/mcetching/go...

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
