But in a state of "I'll figure out a way to make this work either through small batch creation or local small print runs."
This year is the year of signups for my demos!
I'll be in Demo Drive, with my games Litera-Seas and 'Name TBA' (Formerly The Cursed Deck).
This year or next I'll be looking at getting them properly made for folks, since things seem to be... Well. Not less on fire...
Landed back in Vancouver!
I need a long nap, picking up a few things, printing a few things, then to TCTC!
Say hi folks!
Yes, we're still here on this account!
We're starting the planning process for ProtoconBC 2026! If you want to be involved, let us know!
Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail."
People in my mentions: "Lmao are you REALLY a luddite? smh"
We'll be at TCTC, come say hi to Jae at the Parkour Interactive table, or participate in the Vancouver Play test Groups Game Jam we're a part of!
The vital thing you need to understand about LLM (Large Language Models) as "AI" is that every single one of them can, infact, be unplugged and never plugged back in again.
Why the absolute f* would someone think that's ok to introduce someone with??
"So-and-so crossed the floor, that traitor, how dare they betray their constituents who voted for X party!"
Y'all know you're supposed to vote for the Person, not the Party, right? The party gives you an idea of what they'll represent but the Person and what they think should be what you voted for.
The Calgary Public Library is paying $8,000 for an AI Artist Residency while Canadian artists earn a median income 44% below average and compete for grants at a 16% acceptance rate.
This is happening in arts around the world. I wrote about why.

Bookday best day!
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

And Forums are still better for building communities when people take Monetizing Community out of the equation.
Your Community will affect your sales, but gosh darn it, the way isn't to try to ROI your communities. Don't 🤑 community spaces.
Positive Community breeds Positive Community.
I'm gonna be clear - I'm team 'Forum is Best for Community Building'. For so many reasons.
Also, forums aren't gone. You can still make forums. You can still run forums.
SEO killed forums.
Not Discord.
Ya know, there's something telling when somebody on LinkedIn trying to sell their Discord Setup service as the best has a line about how the golden era of Game Communities was forums, but we don't have those anymore, so Discord is next best because they added Forum 'apabilities.
Huzzah!

My favourite reviews lately take in personal preferences/biases:
"I didn't enjoy XYZ, but if you're someone who likes XYZ, you should try this!" Versus "I hate XYZ, which means this thing with it sucks. Period."
For all the men posting about the amazing women they've worked with in honor of International Women's Day: Good job! Now do that more often and not just on the day that reminds you. Champion great women to the people making decisions. Advocate, don't just appreciate, please!
I am trying to make a new shawl for an event in August.
I have had to frog the same row twice because I messed up the foundation stitch count.
I may just shelve it for the day and continue working on figuring out my demos for TCTC to figure out a way to mass-produce on a budget
Fiberarts.
Reminding me that I can't actually count and keeping me humble.

I'd go as far as to say it's also a major issue with series sequels - once you start making a sequel, you have to appeal to the long-term former playerbase alongside the new.
And then the former of the former.
And former of the former of the former.
And eventually the percentage is so small
