Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has done the impossible...

...It has given me an irrational hatred of mimes. Seriously, fuck mimes.

Update: April 24, 2025

Hey folks. Sorry I haven't posted any art or fiction in a while, but FFG keeps sending me contracts.I've got some good news on the health front: My blood sugar is finally back to healthy levels. Besides that I'm still cancer free after almost a decade, and I think I've figured out what triggers (what I suspect to be) Acute Macular Neuroretinopathy : Mangoes. I've been avoiding ...

MRI Update 3

Good news: there's apparently nothing wrong with my brain. Bad news: the cause of my vision problems remains a mystery.

Helldivers 2

Getting a little too much into Helldivers 2 right now. How much is too much? I dunno, is making homebrew rules and gear to play Helldivers on Starfinder too much?

MRI Update 2

Well, I had to lie still in a noisy tube for a while, but the exam's done. Will get results in a week or so.

MRI Update

The machine's computer broke when it was my turn. Had to reschedule for later this month.

Update: February 2024

Vision problems haven't gotten worse, but they haven't gotten better either. Getting an MRI next week, hopefully those problems are just brain damage and not cancer.Fingers crossed.

Update: November 2023

So, what's been happening lately?Well, I'm still contracted, and the work pays well, so that's good. Unfortunately, I've been suffering from some odd vision problems. Since the symptoms looked like diabetic retinopathy, I've had some blood work done and gotten a couple of eye exams. According to the blood work, I am indeed diabetic, and that means some lifestyle changes. Doctor...

Wilds of Wyoming Ch 4 (early snippet, work in progress)

The Last of Us: Miles To GoThe Wilds of Wyoming, Part IIIThe quote-unquote "Workshop" was once an automobile repair shop that also had the good luck of being behind the walls when the militia had been forced to put most of old Jackson to the torch. Since then, it has become the town's technological and industrial base, as Mayor Miller had put it in one of her more grandiose speeches.St...

Dune and Star Trek

Which work do you consider more humanist? Dune, or Star Trek?

Tabletop Gaming

I have been playing a lot of Starfinder lately, and since I've been investing in Star Wars Legion as well, it meant I had a lot of miniatures to use for an adventure in a galaxy far, far away.Predictably, my players wanted to roll Jedi.I had to remind one of them that he was a Solarian and that, technically, he WAS a Jedi.Still, I did have to come up with a proper Jedi class, but thankfully so...

Starfinder

When they said that the biggest challenge to playing a Tabletop RPG would be getting enough people together, they weren't joking.

Merry Christmas!

And a happy new year!

Thoughts on AI Art 3

A lot of the predictions, optimistic or pessimistic, about the future of AI generated art, are based on some premises I think are flawed, such as:-Everyone secretly wants to be an artist, and wants to use an AI art generator, which will lead to a nearly endless supply of AI generated art.-The demand for AI generated art will automatically match the new supply.-Art is valued strictly for the qualit...

Thoughts on AI art 2

Turns out it's easier to spot AI-generated art when it tries to imitate mechanical designs.There's some irony there: Machines, having no eye to design other machines.

Thoughts on AI art I

I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone thought it would be a great idea to automate visual creativity, and make the idea a reality.As for me, well... I suppose it's a good thing I'm a decent writer.

Hey folks

Just letting you all know that yes, I'm still alive and still busy with my contract, which, sadly, I still cannot talk about until my employer releases the artwork :/

Haven OST - Still Free

Thought I'd share this sweet track.If you're wondering, Haven is a video game that's... pretty good overall, with the music and visuals being the two things that's outstanding about it. But I rank it right up there with games like Disco Elysium for a very good reason:It's a story about two people whose love for one another gives them the strength to be free.For more info:https:...

Some Babylon 5 wisdom:

No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.-G'Kar

Star Trek Crisis Team quotes that I may not use.

"I could dream of freedom......and everyone around me would call it a nightmare." -Brandon Blair"The only thing keeping the horror and chaos at bay is the Federation. As long as that's true, I'm going to lay down my life for it, no matter what." -Marion Marinaris"All da latinum in dem stars ain't worth fek if we not free, frère." -Maelcum Malek"I can't ...

December update

Hey folks, no update for Crisis Team this month, sorry about that. I'm currently busy with a contract for THAT OTHER science fiction franchise. Don't know if I'll be free on December, but I've got a piece of fluff half-written for Crisis Team. I'll post it when I have some free time and finish it.
