To be an American right now is to feel an intense sense of shame, for abandoning our allies and sucking up to dictators. Trump and Musk are not just betraying Ukraine, they're betraying the very idea of freedom. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

A compromised traitor could not have done a better job... the long term strategy of influencing Trump, weak and flawed, over the years is paying off very well. Being played like a fiddle and not even realizing it, maybe. If it quacks like a duck... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

Once I have the Cyberspace Reloaded draft off to Iron Crown, I expect to finish my Fatal Vector TTRPG, which is 3 years in the making (play testing lol). Shooting for release in the spring of 2027. You can read a bit about Fatal Vector on the home page of my site.

I will be at Origins 2027 with Iron Crown, running HARP SF games (to promote my module for that game) and demoing Cyberspace Reloaded. Also looking for freelance, contract, and/or full-time work. If you need a writer or game designer, message me :)

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.

Yeah, Kat Tenbarge was much nicer to Jack Osbourne than I would have been, I would have just told him to go fuck himself. Also, if you're going to accuse a writer or journalist of using "AI" on the basis of em dashes, absolutely positively go fuck yourself.

So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.

Hey all, I hate to do this again, but. I just had two clients pull major projects in the same day and it's left me up a creek without a paddle, with rent due in 4 days. So, MASSIVE #commission #sale!! Will post specifics in the thread, but these are great deals for any #rpg or #gamedev project!

Hit the city cyberpunk style. I don't usually do this, but I made an exception for a project and redrawn one of my older fan art with my own characters.

Grimlighting - an attempt to portray/create a positive current/future society/culture from what amounts to subservience to a manipulative/dehumanizing/false sense of community/prosperity/utopia … involving drugs/technology/ideology. Grimlight fiction? Some Black Mirror? Brave New World? Raving PLUR?

Or is grimlighting a term for manipulating someone by referring to the many ways everything is pointless and bleak … grimlight as a genre vs grimlighting as a psychological play … just thoughts lol
