Been rewatching FMA:B after only having seen it all the way through once years ago. Still so good! I appreciate how the worldbuilding in this show is planted in a way where I'm like "oh wow you paid that off two episodes later and I feel like I'm seeing the truth of the universe"

Had a fantastic weekend at #GameholeCon! Played some new games, attended some great panels, and got to run #Runemaker for some new people 💚 Was even gifted some session art from the table. Thank you all for being rad. We'll be back next year!

#GameholeCon is upon us tomorrow! If you'll be there and looking for some evening gaming Friday or Saturday, stop on by and try out some Runemaker! www.gameholecon.com/events/event...

Designer tip: however many post it notepads you think you need around your desk to keep track of your ✨brilliant✨ thoughts and checklists, it is a lie. You will never have enough.

@governorwalz.mn.gov Your appointees did this. Explain to me how this will protect our state or our neighbors in greater MN in any way? Why are we allowing data centers, venture capital, and huge utility rate increases to come in and harm MN and regular Minnesotans? www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Watching @bioware.bsky.social get sucked into the black hole of EA and capitalism after KOTOR, Mass Effect, and the original Dragon Age never fails to make my inner child so sad. EA being gobbled up by Saudi venture capital is somehow both surreal and a tragically predictable end point for them.

ICE is doing forced labor and sexual assault of transgender people in their detention centers, reads a new complaint.

Big cat in a sunny spot energy today

A few people have claimed that the "revoke some trans passports" in my latest story is "hyperbole" or "sensational reporting." The Trump admin in their 1st Circuit Court of Appeals has literally said they will do this if they win. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

Do you remember? The 21st night of September 🎶

Bruh

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

This is so much worse than I thought. Hollywood, we cannot stand for this. At what point do we realize continuing to feed this woman’s pocket and her worlds are dangerous to so many?

utah police wisely choosing not to show the bullet casing that says ‘if you read this you are gay’ bc they know it would instantly turn the country gay

when you say "nobody" cared about melissa and mark hortman being assassinated, i get what you mean, but please say "nobody on the right" not trump. not the mn GOP. not conservative podcast bigots. a lot of us cared. a lot of people in minnesota still feel broken.

Still processing. I'm so tired of families and our communities being left to reel after such senseless horror. Our kids deserve to be safe everywhere they are, most especially their school.

Guess what? Runemaker launches in 22 days! And we have our first full-game event at this year's #GameholeCon! If you like TTRPGs and would like a hands on demo of the rune-iest, looniest fantasy heartbreaker in town, let's hang out in Madison, WI 10/16-10/19! www.patreon.com/posts/136757...

Weapons continues the solid case for comedians writing and directing horror. I can see why Jordan Peele was upset about not getting this one

Just finishing up what's *sure* to be the very-last-I'm-serious-this-time late game tweaks to Runemaker. Now it's time for some podcast + White 2

When you're the only one at the trivia table who remembers the Harlem Shake. It's important to remember our meme history

I'm going to tell you exactly how to write a book. Do you see that impenetrable brick wall ahead of you? You're going to ram your head into it until long book is long.

Today's important lesson learned during playtesting: drinking corrosive acid isn't good for your health, but it may bring you back from the brink of insanity #Runemaker

Surviving June means we're officially closer to 2050 than 2000. I'ma throw up I think

These people are Nazis. I know that's well-understood by many people at this point, but not enough. They are Nazis and we need to keep saying it.

Arcane and KPop Demon Hunters have convinced me every fantasy movie or TV show would be improved by also being a music video

I specifically want a world where NYC elects a scandalously young, shockingly hot mayor deeply committed to socialism.

We will all be less without her, and we must see the violence that took her from this world as a reason to be more. We must be brave, we must be committed to a better world, we must be more like Melissa Hortman.

The Quick Start Guide is live on itch and DriveThruRPG! From unchartered waters to official channels, Runemaker is some sort of boat in this metaphor! #indiedev #TTRPGs solorstudio.itch.io/runemaker-qu...

Watching cats figure out new kitty furniture shows me that sussing out vibes are important across the animal kingdom

I love Andor. Andor is based as hell. That is all

it’s not corruption unless its grown in the corruption region of france, anything else is just sparkling bribery

Copenhagen has proven to me bikes are in no way annoying if you *checks notes* have dedicated lanes that are not competing with cars

NEW: We're asking a court to expand our clients' recent legal victory to ensure that all transgender, non-binary, and intersex people can be issued passports with the correct gender marker.

Using all my instructional design powers to create a clear and concise cat care sheet

Happy earth day and a very happy oblivion remastered day

We are living in an absolute golden age of vampire media, and that gives me hope for the future

Been poring over designs online to figure out how to best tinker with a new character sheet. Lesson 1 - the biggest box should be for your name at the top, no exceptions. Stats and equipment must be shunned to the margins like the problem children they are.

I see there are some new people here, thought I'd whip up a little welcome thread. Hello! My name is Val. I’m an author, artist, and the developer of the upcoming fantasy role playing game, Runemaker. What's Runemaker, you may ask.

Relieved for my neighbors. Cry about it in one of your recalled cyber trucks, Elon
