Pilots fight in their magemechs. They stand little chance against the Entities outside of them.
Immorality pays big bucks, it seems. Nothing like striking gold in the bones of dead children.
Art has done us the disservice of making us believe the rise of fascism would at least be aesthetically and ideologically cool. Instead, itβs THIS. Oh how I wish life would imitate art instead of watching a bunch of losers hedge fund against their own atrocities.
She ran her hands through her hair, but unlike before, this wasnβt calm and collected. This wasβ¦
βPilot, did you just return from a mission?β

The Pilot was staring at them with an intensity theyβd yet to see. She was breathing in unsteady patterns, and even without any sensor readings, Twelve could tell her heartrate was heightened. Her leg was bouncing on the chair.
You should read this. Itβs cool, and a little bit Gayβ’οΈ towards the end. Who knew mech pilots had problems?
β¦everyone? Oh, ok fairβ¦
I love that. Half the anxiety comes from fear of rejection, so the unabashed pride to just throw your art into the world like βthere ya go, do with it as you willβ is so metal.
Oh I wasnβt expecting that at all haha. This is still in VERY rough shape, so please support everyone else far before me! I just wanted to lend a heart to someone doing something nice for the community!
It just occurred to me that if I made a pinned post for Death Spiral for a while that more people could find it cuz all the the DB stuff is still de-indexed on itch :'D

Can confirm, theyβre a pro. Everything is beyond beautiful, and expedient. Master of the craft at 50/hr is a STEAL.
Related to this, I'm trying something a little experimental with my shop.
If you've been looking for a personal or professional logo but maybe don't have the budget for a full branding project, check this option out!

Haha I donβt make shirts but youβre so right. That would be a great piece anti-AI merch. Huh, maybe Iβll have to reach out to someone.
@moxiest.art I think I have an ideaβ¦
WE MADE IT FIRST! There is no synthesis, no process. Just mad libs, as you aptly put.
These people worship βmarketingβ as though the creation of the thing theyβre marketing isnβt essential first. You canβt sell something that doesnβt exist. You canβt build a temple to an unborn god.
I also love their constant misunderstanding of causal origination. People like this always say stuff like βThis isnβt unique to humans, I could have AI make this in a second.β Like yeah, WHERE DO YOU THINK THE AI LEARNED TO DO THAT?!
The ONLY reason the Plagiarism Machine can spit anything out?
ART COMMISSIONS OPEN
I need to save up for UKGE so if you are interested in getting some art done, my rates are $50 per hour, and as usual, I can work in a variety of styles, give examples of what you can get for your budget, work with soft/hard caps on hours, etc :)
DM me!
I personally would argue that the term and language of a βjoke characterβ is a 1-dimensional bit manifested as the bare minimum in terms of game mechanics and effort. Because the moment you inject more than the joke, itβs not longer defined by its self-referential humor.
Starting a character with a joke and tagging them with that as youβre actively creating depth beyond the joke is no different than calling me a baby because I was born as one. I no longer am, I ceased to be the moment I grew in any capacity.
making good, solid characters that use humor as a device through which to drive tension. Conflict. Because then when they arenβt funny, when they have to break the veneer of βsilly,β you see their depth. Thatβs just a good character. I donβt think thatβs a joke character.
Ah see but thatβs why I would say itβs not a joke character. I think a joke character, definitionally, is surface level for a bit. They donβt get drama because their point was meta. The name, the context, was made to make the PLAYERS laugh at the absurdity. I think what youβre doing is just
Because a character with depth that also happens to have some joke aspects is very different than a character whose entire premise is the joke and you just happen to stumble into depth afterwards.
Iβm not saying youβre wrong, Iβm just saying youβre operating under a definition that I donβt think most play groups are. So what would your definition be for a joke character?
Which is true, I just think thatβs kinda the culturally accepted use of the phrase. The first thing that comes to mind for most players when you say βjoke characterβ is Boing Boing, not a character whose morality is inverted within a power dynamic to subvert genre trope expectations.
a joke character.
That to me just doesnβt sound like a joke character. So I guess itβs a definition thing. Because that sounds like a great idea with lots of room for roleplay, whereas βThis is Boing Boing and his personality trait is that he tries to shake penises instead of handsβ is what Iβd usually associate with

What does it mean for a motherboard to pray?
I say we arenβt going far enough. 3 columns, 7 columns, enough columns to only fit single words.
Anyone wanna be my sponsor? My fee is 20k USD/month and Iβll make something once a year. And no I donβt do commissions.
But all my living expenses will be considered towards your tax write offs.
Yeah butβ¦our shareholders are happier than yours, so HA!

β¨ re-reject edition β¨
we spent the last three weeks avoiding promoting the angry stuff, and keeping it hidden on the shop, because we did not want to be remotely seen as capitalizing on people's deaths.
thank you for respecting the break
