I think the thing I struggle the most with is figuring out when certain higher concept ideas are articulated clearly to my audience. Since I'm so familiar with them, it's easy to feel like I've implied something clearly when it's inherently just sort of unintuitive for a lot of people.

Last night I got jumpscared by @mangey.bsky.social redrawing @ffruitsy.bsky.social 's headshots for Game #1.
I gotta tell you I think we got something here. They look amazing.
What a privilege it is to work with these artists.
For the last 2 years I have been living in Boston with my roommate. The day after we signed to renew the lease on our shared apartment, they got accepted into Penn State and are now planning to move there. They are already looking for someone to take over our lease. There's no way I will be able to stay in Boston. This leaves me with a few options.
Option 1) My roommate is planning to rent a 2 bedroom apartment in Pennsylvania, and would be fine with me living there with them for a year if l can find a job in the area. After a year I would be expected to move out since they want to live on their own without roommates. If this happens I could most likely get by on my own between a job, patreon supporters and commissions since rent is cheaper. Patreon supporters
Option 2) If I could find a high paying job in Ohio, I could move in with my grandmother in Cleveland. This isn't really ideal since I would have to leave the house on days my dad visits her. Option 3) I'm being heavily pressured to move back in with my mom who would give me 3 months to find a job in Ohio. If I can't find a job within that time frame l'd likely be unhoused once the 3 months are up. Going back to that house would be bad for a number of reasons: less privacy, less ability to talk to people, and it's an extremely abusive environment.
Right now, I'm saving as much money as I can to prepare for this. Any help finding employment in Pennsylvania or Ohio would be greatly appreciated. I would be totally ok living on my own as long as I can support myself financially. I need to save for covering the first/last months rent on a new apartment, moving costs, debt, monthly expenses, etc. I'm really hoping in the next few years I can find stable long term housing instead of having to repeat this song and dance every year. Thank you for your help. •

August prep fund. by next week I’m hoping to have an updated explanation on my situation but people keep giving me the runaround so explaining what the situation IS going to be is difficult. But I’m afraid I’m going to be put into the negative and be unhoused.

I just read the @bossfightbooks.com volume on Katamari Damacy and it is every bit as charming and delightful as you'd hope it is.

Ok I cried and it’s going to be hell on earth but if things worked out I would be more safe in Pennsylvania with lower rent and such but I’d need to ask everyone’s help financially and find a job ASAP. but the rent would be enough that I could cover my loans and rent with Patreon/ a fulltime job

I plan to be so obnoxious this entire season, even if the Heist framing device doesn't carry on beyond the teaser.
I beg you, support artists even when they're not actively releasing new art.
Good things take time and a culture of art that's all about deliverables and not about process, misses the fucking point.
I'll gladly wait as long as it takes for all of Anatomy.
hello new and old One Piece likers: if you enjoy a long and winding story about a crew traveling from place to place and meeting all kinds of weirdos who become reocurring characters and fighting criminals/the government/criminals who are the government, you will probably enjoy Prairie Song
this is what every artist gifted UBI by an institution should do and im not joking
Just had my second call with Lennox Mutual, and it was glorious. If you love stories, puzzles, and maybe ARGs, and you have a phone, you might love Lennox Mutual. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
[REDACTED] is now henceforth to be known as "Game 1".
I know huge crazy gamechanging update.
Actually though this does mean that if April goes according to plan we might make a real announcement in May. I'm hopeful but like, might fail just to keep you all on your toes.
God April is going to be a busy month for my unemployed ass.

Love when the end of a creative project finally materializes in my skull.
Games and Rituals are in fact so similar as cultural forms as to be at least analogous and at most interchangeable.
A catholic mass, a werstling match, Undertale, and an election actually have an astonishing amount in common.
The ARGathering is over, so it's time to talk about the next project. Keep an eye out for some exciting news tomorrow...
