Know what I’m salty about?

In all my art classes, I was never taught HOW to use the various tools of art.

Like yes, form, and shape and space and color theory and figure drawing is important, but so is KNOWING what different tools do.

I’m 29 and I JUST learned this past month that India Ink is fucking waterproof when it dries. Why is this important? Because I can line something in India Ink and then go over it with watercolors. And that has CHANGED the ENTIRE way I art and the ease I can create with.

tldr: Art Teachers: teach your students what different tools do. PLEASE.

I haven't had time for anything since I'm working on my final uni project but I've been listening to Malevolent non-stop during this time and couldn't resist a little fanart :-)

Steel and circuitry woven deep into flesh and blood. Biomechanics taking over bodily functions. Cyborgs who work as psychoplumbers are teched out for the dungeons, but first and foremost the cybernetics are to give you a lease on life.

The Cyborg is all about energy. How much you have. How you spend it. How you recharge. What you're willing to do when you don't have enough energy.

The Cyborg picks two assistive programs to start and also picks a power source.

Psychogold

Electric Current

Sunlight

Adrenaline

Batteries

Momentum

I enjoy how the players choices here have big implications for how the world works. (Like psychogold may not be a thing if never picked.)

The Cyborg is essentially about fatigue in the way the Werewolf is about pain. Their Lateral Moves (moves through which they can give someone else tokens) are about being willing to ask for help. Their post-delving checks are focused on if they looked after themselves or pushed too far.

In PSYCHODUNGEON we delve into nightmarish psychostructures, battle monsters, navigate a hostile domain, and help the mind the dungeon sprung from gain closure. We do this for a meagre paycheck. On the surface we try to get by living our lives in a busy city that wouldn’t miss you if you fell off the face of the planet.

Coming to Kickstarter this May. Please follow the pre-launch page. This is the sixth of a series of posts I’ll do all about different aspects of the game. Do let me know if there’s anything you’re especially curious about.

I used to hate it when people said the trick was to just do it until ‘do it scared’ started going around, because that’s truly it. Life didn’t start changing until I applied for jobs with one hand in front of my eyes and a trembling hand navigating my computer mouse. Or until I said everything on my mind (in moderation) with my fists clenched and my legs weak. Or until I refused to accept that I’d ‘just’ be shy forever while also kind of being nauseous at the idea of trying to be the opposite. Two things can coexist and that’s exactly the point of believing that you can do anything.

Being overstimulated is such a weird thing to explain to people. Like "hey sorry, I'm not mad at you and this is nobody's fault and I'm not blaming anyone for it happening, I am aware this is a part of regular everyday life but I am mentally crumbling because There Have Been Things Happening nonstop for 5 hours straight back to back with no breaks, and I really need to sit down in complete silence for like 15-25 minutes, after which I will be completely fine and can proceed as normal. But if I'm not allowed to have that, I will resort to violence."

EU voting results are so fucking embarassing especially Germany. How did so many people my age and younger vote for the god awful right wing party. Jesus christ.
