Incredible. No notes.
AI regurgitates the status quo, so everything it generates is through the lens of patriarchy.
That is very adorable!
I had a great time talking with @xoe.gay about games, what they can and cannot do, and a bunch of other topics around Keep the Faith and Bloc by Bloc: Uprising.

wow so great finally consequences for shitting on the creatives of the tabletop industry after years of zero consequences for shitting on women of the tabletop industry so cool I feel so much better about this company wow so cool so great
For real this is just aeg's guy huh?
Staying up late, thinking about how good Wandersong is
