I could really go for one of those classic East Coast deli cookies with a hard sugar ice thing that were always shaped like cartoon characters.

HOT TAKE: Not wanting kids is weird and is a cultural or emotional defect. We were made for relationship and are literally biologically wired to have children. It's entirely unnatural to not want them.

Weird because if I don't do my "passion" I can't afford to take care of my family. SURE MAKES IT FEEL LIKE A PROFESSION.

writing a book is a passion, and whether or not that books succeeds is enormously personal, no doubt, but given that no one contracted you to write the book ahead of time, the success of that book does hurt your ability to buy groceries. That is not the case for agents. We 2/

You are a village girl. You are in love with a boy named Kai, who found a mirror between your world and the world of an eternal, glittering winter realm that he can travel back and forth from at will. You don't believe him until he brings you a token from that land. It is a —

My actual wages from OSN right now are about $18k a year. The same as the next highest paid person working for the network. However technically the network rents the studio space from Mel and I so we receive more money from OSN than my wages.

For those curious, I don't pay my rent with One Shot. The majority of my money these days comes from writing. It's essential that I publish at least one project a year and keep producing my podcasts. So I am full time games but it has to be two jobs.

I think the TTRPG industry needs to start being very clear with each other and be transparent about how much money is paid to creators, writers, designers etc. Unless you are in a very small percent of people then you will make very little on ttrpgs. Not even enough to pay rent.

So this month Patreon is removing the goals feature, which means we have like 7 days to hit 6k or we'll never have to deal with the whole pig goal again. Hah! Saved by venture capitalism! Now, no one try and stop us by supporting us at patreon.com/systemmastery. Thanks.

I actually fucking hated Batman Begins for this reason. It was fine until it willfully misunderstood the character.
Quote Tweet
can’t believe some of y’all think this is something Batman would do Any other director would get ripped for doing this, why does Nolan get a pass?

Uncle Ben saying "with great power comes great responsibility" as a specific lesson for Peter to follow instead of a good phrase jumbled in with some other caption. It allows the character to be directly influenced by his core themes.
