me when nothing is happening: I will engage in the age-old custom of Protestant deprivation, as is virtuous
me when even minorly inconvenienced: absolutely fuck that
A drawn ritual card in brown and black ink, black contΓ© crayon, and bronze paint. It features a serpent with a horse's head and falling star.
Was doing my morning ritual card during the cusp of the years of the serpent and horse, and appear to have accidentally drawn some fan art of @slimyswampghost.bsky.social's Long Horse!
RISO Global has been fuming for years that everyone keeps using their machines to make zines and avant-garde art prints rather than their intended use, giant institutions that want to print 500 copies of something as cheaply as possible but also for some reason really need to use fluorescent orange
I fixed the incorrect use of > in the image! Please refer to this one instead.
When will we get a proper Wuthering Heights adaptation
Two hours of a woman knitting and absolutely ragging on everyone she knows, punctuated by a moron dropping in on his landlords without their consent, completely oblivious that they openly hate him (and each other, and themselves)

Thank you! I made it!
As usual my hourlies drop off as the end of my day is catching up on hourlies
Almost entirely in parallel with @sobcomix.bsky.social
I must not break my streak... Finally an hourly comic day that's not just ten panels of me sitting in front of a computer working. (Though maybe it should have been.)
Cabbage fights back for it's life, loses
I met Harper today and am reading this game right now and holy shit, it is brilliant and weird and Iβm kinda obsessed with it!!
Decouple your art from your self, and do the same for every other artist. The art is what you make, but itβs not you, how people respond to it (or donβt) isnβt about you as a person. Strangers might love what you do and your loved ones might be indifferent. This is all okay.
I'm always trying to get a treadmill that's not facing CP24. That is not the way I want to get my heartrate up?!
I used to go to a laundromat that had a TV playing all the time, but it was always reality TV cooking shows and similar, and pretty awesome.
this looks wonderful, can't wait to check it out
A roleplaying game where you have to close every one of your 200 open browser tabs one by one, gradually giving up parts of yourself until you are reborn as an egg.
tis the season
The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.
Indie devs: There is nothing stopping you from hopping onto SoundCloud (or any music platform), finding a song by a creator you like, and messaging/emailing them to ask if you can pay them to use their music.
It's frankly an amazing way to source music that hits for your game!
Toxic, but nothing a little therapy won't help
Look, *this* spider had a real rough childhood
Tore through those earlier this year, most of them for the first time, definitely a big inspiration! But maybe I should pull them up again.
I need to read some metaphysically mysterious literature or philosophy to dig out my voice for a writing project. (I am trapped somewhere between "conditional statements", "academic charts" and "sloppy diarist" right now. Please recommend your favourites, my favourites aren't surprising me properly
My niece and I had a really fun time player lego pirates on this map

I really gotta hook up our record player.
