I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.

Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Shout out to Iron Circus for letting me continue to live my dream of dramatic manga-style chapter illustrations with sneaky song lyric titles

Seeing doomposts about socmed and want to note:

No platform with ties to big tech will ever be ethical or a haven; expecting otherwise guarantees disappointment.

Acting like its over already helps no one.

Socmed does not make community; people do.

BTW if you ever wanna commission an artist you don't have to have OC's or fandom characters- you can literally just be like "dang I'd like to have some more lesbian art exist" or "wow it would be real nice to see some trans rep in my culture" or "wouldn't a yellow centric painting look nice here"

Uni's meow at 1 year old

A 4-panel comic about OP and his cat. OP is portrayed as Jisunnie, a white and green fox-like character. Panel 1: Jisunnie looks at his phone and taps a play button. Jisunnie (thought bubble): "I wonder if playing cat sounds for JPEG would help her find her voice..." Panel 2: Jisunnie looks down next to him. Phone: "MRRPP MIAO MEW MROWW" Panel 3: OP's cat JPEG, looking extremely concerned. JPEG (in very small text): "meep?" Panel 4: Jisunnie with tears puddling on the ground, staring down at JPEG. Jisunnie: "oh okay" In the bottom corner is OP's name, MK/RET.

Doodles for DLCs! Two doodles of Andy are shown hugging screenshots of Dead by Daylight DLC Steam listings. A bar across the bottom reads "andymoya on vgen and ko-fi."

Two kinds of listings are shown: on the left, "6 USD, simple colored chibi." On the right, "9 USD, nonsense like this." The nonsense is just fullbody sketches that are very silly. A bar across the bottom reads "andymoya on vgen and ko-fi."

"13-30 USD, sketch page (depends on complexity)." Two sketch pages are shown. On the left, Soul Eater Evans. On the right, Envy from Lost in Limbo. A bar across the bottom reads "andymoya on vgen and ko-fi."

"Payment & Details: Doodles are SKEB STYLE, meaning there will be no revisions or check-ins. Payment is made in full, upfront, through either of the commission platforms below." A smiley face with shimmering eyes is under the text. An arrow points down to a bar across the bottom that reads "andymoya on vgen and ko-fi."

i'm opening up silly skeb-style comms so i can get dead by daylight dlcs 🤭 available on ko-fi and vgen! if you're comming on vgen, use the custom inquiry and tell me what price point you're interested in.

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

🎉 happy 30 years to the OG
