October. I have to keep telling myself that I decided to develop a tabletop game back in October. Five months later, aside from a short manual I want to print out, everything is ready for the public to see… whether I myself am ready or not. My poor Epson EcoTank printer got a workout these…
YouTube Findings for March 1, 2026: A Whole Mess to Make Up for a Lack
Back in the day, I occasionally made blog posts about small gems I’d find on YouTube. Mostly it was to share what I found interesting, but it also made excellent “I can’t come up with new material, so I’ll post something random for now” fodder. I think it’s time to make another such post. The…
Inklenook: Furniture Window Shopping
This short should have been done last month, but due to Apple trying to fix what was never broken and therefore breaking and preventing fixing… *sigh* Despite all the setbacks, the newest short is done. I get to add more to the Inklenook ecosystem. That’s what matters. And I get to use more Tomodachi Life…
Vinesauce: The Questening: The Revisitening
Two years ago, I began a “quest” to help myself recover the memory of my first Vinesauce video. Today, I’m restarting it and giving it new life. Although I’m only posting the first installment of the project, I have plans to spruce it up a bit with illustrations—maybe even give the entire thing its own…
Brainpie Revisited
Or Take a Look at One of Ellie’s Older Projects Or Back When Ellie Was More Active in the Kitchen Lately I’ve been feeling the old itch to experiment in the kitchen again. I miss looking up recipes, compiling careful grocery lists, and hunting down obscure ingredients like they were treasure. I miss looking through…
Tabletop Game and Card Devving #2: The Bricking
I’d made plans to post last week and share a couple of images from my updates for the game. Instead, I foolishly agreed to update my iPad to iOS 26. Long story short, Apple’s precious attempt to fix what was never broken ended up breaking my post-warranty iPad. Several attempts to update via iTunes and…
Tabletop Game and Card Devving #1
There’s been a lot going on recently, and I’m amazed that my efforts to develop a tabletop game haven’t gone to pot. How many months has it been since I decided I wanted to make a game and have it play tested at Unpub? It’s less than two months away, and I’m still going. I’m…
For the Friends Who Want to Reconcile
Note: In the interest of supporting the tarot/occult community and its artists, I’ll be using custom tarot decks to illustrate some of my readings. Although I see AI as a tool that can be used and abused just like any other, I know some people seethe at the idea of it. I cannot guarantee that…
First Post of the New Year
It’s still early in the new year but I’m feeling something different about 2026. A cleansing, a disappearing, a vanishing of something that’s been hanging around my psychic space like an albatross for the past two-ish years. But it’s gone, or at the very least, rapidly fading. This may sound like a big mystery for…
Token at the Christmas Party
It’s a short, but working on this made me realize something: the camera also contributes to action and emotion. Here’s a GIF of this animatic, at the full resolution: Your eyes don’t quite know where to land, do they? This was going to be the video itself, but something told me to use a camera…
