It's been simmering for a long time, now almost at a boil!! NOODLE BATTLE, the pasta-themed tile puzzler, will be premiering at PAX Prime's PNW Tabletop Game Market along with a ton of other fine games (link below). And how about those delicious drawings? All by @mydadisdracula.bsky.social!

There is something particularly satisfying about ignoring a sales pitch when the service being pitched involves "making business connections for you" and the person/entity doing the pitching has grossly misunderstood the business I am in. Thanks for demonstrating how bad you are at your job, bro

the penultimate superlative. Examples: "Time for me to go to bed and fall asleep, my second favorite thing to do in bed" "I was late to the appointment, which is the second best thing to be for the appointment"

whats your favorite bad joke. not bad like offensive but bad like "oh youre getting a haircut? which one?"

At some point it's more than just efficiency of animation, there is an aesthetic choice that goes into making any possible non-moving element in a frame a soft, exaggerated version of itself, like the Thunderquack plane here

I am working on a project right now and I was like "sure I'll set this up with like 3mm of bleed, should be fine" and then I get the soft proof from the factory and you know how much bleed it should have had? A FULL INCH!!!!

Don't know who needs to hear it, but some friendly reminders: - Save a layered version. - Save an incremental version so you can go back if you need. - Let it sit overnight so you can look it over with fresh eyes before actually submitting it. - Double-check how much bleed you need on the art.

anyway the moral is: confirm what the final file will need before you send it to print and have to reject a proof -- and ideally before you start work at all

Alan Moore is one of the greatest comedy writers in comic book history. I’ll prove it to you! I’m reading Alan Moore’s Future Shocks today, with art from Ian Gibson, Brendan McCarthy, Dave Gibbons, Bryan Talbot, John Higgins and many many more. Let’s change the false narrative around Moore >>

Lowkey into this sales tactic. "We are giving you a DEADLINE to respond otherwise we CANNOT sell you something" (this is the fourth FINAL NOTICE they've sent me btw) (also 24 business hours is...3 days?)

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

From 2019 I don't think I ever posted this one. It's interesting how the golden age of TV in 2019 now seems as distant as the Tudors . . . #comedy #sketch #cartoon #history #comic

lol I guess they stopped calling it "PAX Prime" SIXTEEN YEARS AGO. Anyway it's the one in Seattle next weekend. That should be obvious from context

For those going to PAX West this year, I highly recommend hitting up the PNW Tabletop Game Market- bespoke small batch games by some of the most creative people I've ever met! Also I enjoy Noodle Battle in particular, and not just because my team won every time I played... 🍝

Astonishing!!

Felt Mistress@feltmistress.bsky.social

Here’s my latest felt “grisaille” stone god. This is the fourth and hopefully I can find somewhere to show them when they are all complete or I’ll just have to exhibit them all in my garage. This guy is over a metre tall and hand sewn in felt.

The more I think about my views on the role of the judiciary in today's warped society, the more I coalesce on a single idea: There should be just one crime worthy of prosecution, and that is premarital fornication... EXCEPT for one single night a yaer.

Big news! LinkedIn now has a "⚠️ Seems like AI slop" reporting function. I assume this is like an elevator "close door" button where it exists to give you something harmless to do while nothing happens behind the scenes.

It's 4 weeks to the launch of my pasta puzzle game, NOODLE BATTLE. The first 50 copies will be handmade! Tonight: sorting blank tiles by shade in preparation for staining tomorrow.

Good morning to everyone except the person who sent me this long-ass ChatGPT email about including THE ELEPHANT OF SURPRISE (the sick elephant collection) in some kind of... 30-day reading group? To plumb its narrative depths??

I was googling some dialog from a puzzle in genshin impact to identify which puzzle it is so I could find hints, and the google AI seems to think I've been in some kind of coma or cryostasis for hundreds of years? this is genuinely the weirdest one of these I've ever seen

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.
