cw: pet loss I am trying not to be ashamed of the fact that I need the help doing this, but the idea of not having anything to remember my cat by + the vet costs associated with trying to get her seen quickly has put me in a spot where I'm choosing to. I feel hideous. I'd feel worse not doing it.

cw: pet loss I had to say goodbye to my cat Saber today after 6 six years of owning her. She developed some severe infections due to a flea problem that we didn't catch in time. I loved her more than I've ever loved any pet and I'm gutted straight through.

Everybody gangster until you're six turns deep in a kobold warren and the traps start going off.

Introducing ChezGPT, where instead of wasting six gallons of water to get a badly researched and half-assed answer you can instead give me a can of zero sugar Monster and get the same result

"oh no death cab for ugly? ugly has to walk?"

"I call this one the philosopher's stone," said the bounty hunter, patting a large, complex pistol on her hip. "Why's that?" "Because it turns lead into gold," the hunter said, grinning.

Going to share a thread of my work as an Indigenous journalist over the past week - work that I need support to continue after the electric co-op that runs my utilities made an error that has put me at risk of disconnection. ko-fi.com/chezdispense...

An error on behalf of my electric company has put me at risk of disconnection due to late fees and due offsets I didn't expect to pay. Disconnection would mean eviction per my lease and threaten my job. ko-fi.com/chezdispense... I need to raise this by Monday to avoid the payment bouncing.

i'm in a chronicles of darkness game and playing a malkavian vampire currently serving as van princess while the crew does a little breaking and entering we have a discord channel we treat as in-character texting group chat

I have to work today because I still can't land a full-time job after years of looking but if anyone wants to support this poor black woman after losing grad school financial aid and not being able to finish an MA I leave the link here. Ko-fi.com/wozenstein

what do you call a library of out-of-print yaoi ahem a seme-tery

hey @moderation.bsky.app the dude over at @schizanon.bsky.social is harassing multiple people behind a block by adding them to lists. this is a wildly unsafe thing for your service. someone should not be able to interact *period* with a blocked account.

starting a game of final fantasy tactics is not for the weak of heart. while the game doesn't tell you this, it involves much more than hitting "new game." you see, final fantasy tactics' characters are defined by their classes (of which, i note, you have none.)

Unfortunately, I've been laid off as part of Paizo's recent restructuring (paizo.com/blog/paizo-r...). I'm reopening my public commissions while I look for what's next; if you've been looking for an excuse to get your TTRPG character illustrated, please reach out!

Every time I want to go back to Octopath Traveler 0, since I really enjoyed the gameplay so much, I find myself remembering just how *foul* the story is. It's just a misery parade that involves a lot of horrible things happening primarily to women characters, and it puts me completely off.

I'll say more when I can focus a bit, but for now ... While I'd love to stay in games, I'm also open to editor positions elsewhere in the publishing world. Fiction would be lovely. Before joining the games industry, I spent a decade and a half in higher ed roles that inform my work today.

I am roughly $400 away from safety. I just filed some contract work that pays out by the end of May, meaning I should be safe through the end of June. I gotta get there first.

and what Damocles never tells anyone is that every night he gets a little stepladder and he climbs up to the top of it and he feels around the blade, the hilt, the pommel, to that little knot of sinew and he loosens it a little more just so he has a say. just so he has a say. #poetry

After fracturing my ankle last Friday, I spent everything I had to get equipment I needed to move, medications I was prescribed, and so on following some insurance claim denials. I am now in a position where I need to raise my rent money and electricity bill payment by Tuesday or face eviction.

Friday night I fractured my ankle and I'm looking at potentially two weeks in rehab because I can't *not* use my left foot. This is going to be expensive, on top of late fees for early monthly bills + co-pays and medication. ko-fi.com/chezdispense...

Almost completed the prologue for Banquet for Fools. Really fascinated by the Vagrant Story-adjacent combat system and the aesthetic, as well as the weird, dreamy logic of the intro - then I got stuck in a bit of geometry with no way out of it and it just killed the momentum. Ugh.

Shodan: l-l-l-Look at this hacker, I want to crush them like a bug Durandal: look at my cyborg, I can make them go in a circle for hours. I can give them shotgun shells and they go apeshit

Every time I play FFT I discover new and exciting things. For example, if the guest character meant to help you with the extremely difficult battles in a 4-battle gauntlet has his sword stolen midway through the first fight, you are now stewarding a useless, sullen bastard who likes to punch.

I'm safe. I appreciate the kindness. I apologize for needing it so frequently.

Hey, all. I have exactly three days to raise $563 to keep my electricity on. Help is needed. paypal.me/coxendine I apologize for yet again running for help, but the problem with being on a ledge is that there's no breathing room. Every emergency is an emergency.

Every time I see someone complain that Ramza in #FinalFantasyTactics is "just a Squire," I die a little. Mind you, folks are entitled to their views on the game, and certainly it is a little strange that the protagonist doesn't get all the cool powers some other special characters do.

If I told you I was going to publish an extremely short little rulebook for a game called LAIRBUSTERS: A RULES-LITE ROGUELIKE, would you be interested

I really wish there were more stories where we were foot soldiers or grunts or basically just Some Dude rather than Very Special People (e.g. chosen ones, spectacularly pretty people, special bloodlines, etc.) I'm so much more invested in a character that's thoroughly *of* the world they're in.

Trying to get some food in the house to make it 'til Monday when I get paid. paypal.me/chezidency I was stiffed on some work by a small-time contractor I cannot name due to an NDA and that left me in a bind. I apologize for asking.

Trying to raise $250 for medications. I'm on week one of what will be four and I am nigh totally nonfunctional. This is not sustainable for a month of effectively being unable to work. paypal.me/coxendine

Doing my level best out here. If you'd like an Indigenous journalist to keep journaling Indigenously, support is appreciated.

One fun fact about me is that the single best tavern name I've ever come up with for a TTRPG is Ales What Cure You.

It's my birthday in less than a week and so if anyone wants to give me some breathing room as we sort out the moving costs for a new roommate - which will keep me from needing so much bloody help going forward - I would appreciate it. ko-fi.com/chezdispense...

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

friend, joking around with me: i'm just saying me, who saw "chill" once and promptly decided it was for cowards: THE SERPENT, DRAPED ABOUT THE ROOTS OF THE TREE, THE BRIGHT AND GLEAMING APPLE SWINGING SOFT O'ER ITS SLOPING BROW, WAS "JUST SAYING," YOU HERETIC!

Overheard in the voice chat: "Nah brother. I'm bad with push ups, pull ups AND sit ups. -A beat.- Bomb as hell at fuck ups, though."
