I'm currently doing an anime taster with @adorabug.bsky.social where we usually watch the first episode of a bunch of shows to see what we want to do. Anyway, we watched one (1) episode of Trigun: Stampede and now we are watching ALL of Trigun

Going to the Pride event of the year* with my wife 🥺💖 *The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act

At the optometrist, watching as the scary eye robot gets closer and closer, trying desperately not to think of a certain scene from Dead Space

I find the inability to share screenshots easily in Tomodachi Life annoying, but it does make every single post about the game have a certain intimate, found footage-esque liminal quality

I stand in the water looking at the shore. Puzzle World is out now. visager.bandcamp.com

reporter who was born the year the Wii came out: Video-game music has come a long way from bleeps and bloops,

I personally think that if you describe yourself as metrosexual, I'd rather not see you working at a Subway

I mean, yeah, there are millions of musicians who love creating music and would do anything in their power to spend more of their time making it, but have you considered that somebody who thinks of music as a commodity would rather just say "make me the next Imagine Dragons" to a robot 87,000 times?

If people talking about games could disentangle "this game made me feel something that wasn't immediate, overwhelming joy" from "this game is bad", that would be great

One silver lining in the UK's status as a continuous transphobic hellscape is that it has actually made my parents fiercely protective of me. The level of unbridled rage they express on my behalf after seeing trans people lambasted endlessly will always make me extremely emotional.

Slowly realising that all my life I was taking "autistic people tend to take things literally" too literally. What the fuck is my life dude

Very excited that the first thing on TikTok that has truly kicked off is the just for fun Metal Gear Rising Revengeance AMV I made with Leviathan's Approach. Teenage Laura would think I was so fucking cool

BONUS ALL TIMER MIO FACE LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER

Having a cat is great because you'll go outside and there'll just be a guy sitting there

Spotted in Edinburgh! Let's gooooo

The contrast between how trans people are painted as and how we actually are is genuinely mindboggling. I don't think I've ever met a trans person who hasn't been exceptionally kind to me, and the amount of time and love I have both given to and received from trans people has been staggering.

The best advice I ever got when I started freelancing was, if you have to turn down work, always suggest someone else who could do it. I have been so lucky to benefit from that over the years.

I got an AI-generated UK army ad that led me to what was supposed to be an incredibly locked down, full security UK army AI chatbot. Anyway here are the poems it generated about me and my thirteen transgender gay husbands working on a submarine together

Proud to release my grand opus that came to me in a dream

I had a dream about Hadestown but my brain couldn't remember any of the songs, so whenever someone started to sing it was just a short loop of the words "Hades Town" to the tune of "Closing Time". I think I would have prefered to just be waterboarded

I think people see statistics about a low percentage of people making an income doing music and think you have to approach everything hyper-competitively, but it's actually the exact opposite! Doing this full time *requires* you to be as generous as possible and collaborate at every opportunity

Giggling and kicking my legs when stems for a track I've been working on come in, this might just be the best feeling in the universe

Working on music is the fucking best thing ever, dude

Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars Lisa's veggie, Bart likes cake The destiny of Marge

"What the transphobes don't know is they're forcing bearded trans men into the ladies toi-" 😏 Newsflash, moron, THEY DON'T FUCKING CARE. THEY DON'T WANT ANY OF US TO EXIST.

I always wondered how, in God of War, giant flying dragons would always seem to get perfectly in range of Kratos' axe, when surely it would be safer to just avoid that at all costs. Anyway, after getting a cat, the sheer number of dead flying insects on my floor has meant that I no longer wonder

My new Hiroyuki Sawano and Keiichi Okabe inspired track, Leviathan's Approach, is finally out!! I'm so happy with how everything turned out - I spent weeks constructing my own language specifically for the track, and then wrote poems in it for the choir chants!

...and if your body doesn't naturally produce estrogen, not to worry! Store bought is fine

A thing I think about a lot is the way my deeper voice often makes some men uncomfortable, but I did voice therapy and more than anything it felt like I was putting something on and it just made me uncomfortable all the time.

My TRANS origin story: I was chatting with a friend, who told me that everything related to "hating every facet of my body" was gender dysphoria. They said, "Think about it, Laura, it's like the ultimate version of your body is a woman's." That was it. I was done. It was 2012.

This post possibly brought to you by the child next to me on the bus repeating "Six Seven" in monotone for about 40 minutes. His grandma asked him what it meant and he briefly stopped to tell her that it was "just funny" before returning to his sacred mantra

If Octopath Traveler II and FFXIV and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth have taught me anything, it's that any RPG party would be bolstered drastically by the addition of a cringe child that would also be a fantastic Tumblr Poster

Love that the King's Cross Harry Potter shop is fitting in with JK Rowling's branding by having a mysterious black substance seeping from its walls!

Nobody teaches you this in school, but as an artist, the ability to finish projects basically makes you more powerful than God

More than 2 decades of playing piano has taught me that whenever you think a chord is done, you're actually wrong and the only way to be right is with more added notes

Rewatching Log Horizon for the first time this gender, and it's surprising to me how fantastic the political and world building stuff still is, when you can ignore the show's bizarre treatment of its female characters. (But let's be real, compared to SAO it is basically a feminist masterpiece.)

Not wearing my glasses and only just woke up, but yeah you can't tell me that Matt and Jay from Nirvana The Band aren't in this picture

shoutout to this youtube option. talk your shit into the void homie

There are two wolves inside you: one has a great time putting a satisfying 10 hours into a AAAA prestige video-game, and the other yearns to put 6,000 hours into a rogue-like made by a solo developer called "Big Bob's Piss Emporium"

Piccolo's big naturals in this are making my brain fill in the gaps that "postboy" is some kind of slur for trans women

Hiyall! Two trans girlies putting out a call for help! We have made the difficult decision to run a GFM to get my partner out of the USA Donations will cover their visa, NHS fee, & flights, ASAP Any shares or help at all means the absolute world to us, so thank you ; - ; !!! gofund.me/c31c736f0

Love the Mike Wazowski-ass placement of the gun and Nintendo seal of approval that makes it look like they're both letting it hang

Today, I asked the barista at my local coffee shop for a marshmallow to put directly in my mocha. Delicious. The price? Embarrassment — no matter how brief in the moment — that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Here's what that experience taught me about B2B sales: (1/1,569)

Maybe this one is staying in drafts

hey so if I could live in a world where there were another 5,000 episodes of Escaflowne, I think that might solve all my problems actually

Update: wanted to play a quick round and ended up playing three rounds, it's so much fuuuun

Yooooooo my copy of Tournament Arc arrived!!! 🥹💖 @harpsona.com @tournamentarcgame.bsky.social

As someone that has worked in social media: we don't usually recognise Posting as labour, but I believe that in doing so you are inherently engaged in important community building and the creation of vital third spaces for those in your orbit. Don't let an AI dictate what your communities look like

I got an ad to AI generate social media posts en masse, and genuinely if you see me doing anything like that you have my express permission to take away my phone permanently. I'll always be a Poster and the day I relinquish that to another body is the day I cease to be worth paying any attention to
