Martijn is helping @kittycrawford.com and I out with some business consultancy and the framework he's building is genuinely useful, if only to start some necessary conversations with your team or collaborations

Worth having a read, even if you think the name sounds silly

I was chatting with my sis who develops for Krita about this and she's like "there's like 3 clones every week and it's all shiny until people start expecting support"

I cannot express how fuckn normal these people look and talk and then you read what they've been responsible for and their view points, and where they ended up after their career (board of your local uni, member of an international peace Institute, death cult, trade union)

Doing research into what type of person becomes the director of an intelligence service and basically it's: * just a lil guy (and evil) * fuck what did I get myself into (and evil) And * Wakes up in the middle of the night because they dreamed how to get away with novel torture (and, uh, evil)

The only thing stopping me from shitposting on LinkedIn is exactly that perception ๐Ÿ˜‚

@baroness.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 11:50 AM

Yeah it's not exactly motivating

@baroness.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 11:34 AM

Where do people find the time to post on LinkedIn? I've done 3 talks/panels in the last month or so and I can't make any time to post about it on the Professional Social Media site I'm so bad at my personal brand

You: I'm going to give my protagonist really long and cool names to show how special they are ๐Ÿค— Me: I wonder what fresh hell of bureaucracy my name gets me into this time ๐Ÿฅฒ

Hello person deciding how long name fields are allowed to be in a tax audit form or document upload Can you, like, not give it a limit of less than 50 characters?? If my ID check for steamworks is going to be rejected again, imma fckn scream

So many of these are great, and I forget to point them out. But this episode in particular, is a delightful banquet of riches.

@baroness.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 4:02 PM

Thank you so much!! High praise :D

It's meeee! It's so worth looking at other playful arts and see how they tackle the same issues. We had a lovely discussion about different approaches to character creation and player agency and immersion, in digital and physical play

@baroness.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 1:30 PM

The two genders: players and carriers

@baroness.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 9:18 AM

That, and I believe the new release atm is "bro, just believe me bro, I checked it myself bro" So I'm going to wait for the grown ups to check the proof

Hello app I only use because I frantically need to check something, I do not care you got updated and I will not rate you

One astounding claim here is that the majority of the 372 proofs were โ€”> one-shotted

@baroness.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 8:04 AM

Nah just me using a word that turned out to mean something different and needlessly upsetting someone So you can imagine how I felt when I actually looked into what was being discussed. Holy shit. No wonder they got miffed.
