The fans will understand

Actions speak louder than words... and people often forget to listen to both with humility, compassion and understanding.

Challenge: In the 1-2 minutes of browsing here, click like on a different post/skeet that you appreciate. You know, the one you would have liked but just scrolled past instead of hitting the like button? Liking this post doesn't count though. Pay it forward, not backwards. #SkeetpreciateSaturday

And yes, I know I just posted the same GIF 3 (now 4) times in a row. Sometimes seeing something familiar is more important than seeing something new. A lesson to consider when you feel lost in the chaos.

I rarely post on social media these days because that little voice in my head says "No likes, no listen". But we know it's wrong. People may read this as they scroll past. I'll write my genuine thoughts and I hope it gives a few friends a moment to slow down before rushing to the next distraction

I've found times in my life trying to make posts to get attention get no attention. That sitting in a quiet room alone makes your thoughts the loudest. And knowing so many people doesn't mean they try to know you. I know I'm not alone in this. Maybe that's why I'm posting it for others to read.

I remember when I got on Bluesky, I loved it. Felt like old days. But as time went by I realized it wasn't Bluesky that I loved, it was the fact that people were out of their shells replying to old friends like it was 2014 Reiterates a good lesson: the people around you matter, the metrics don't.

#Earthdawn Benevolence TAVERN TALK - Tonight we'll chat with viewers answering questions - First test of the Portshadow Tabletop Sim mod I made - Just good vibes with friends. www.twitch.tv/jacklifear

I've been working on improving some features for our #TTRPG #Earthdawn campaign. There is a small village of children who are surviving in the wilds. I've inspired gameplay from survival city builders like Banished. To add immersion for my players, I built it as a complete minigame. [Thread🧵]

Earthdawn: Benevolence is live with a new party The guard duty includes: - RaealTheProtogen (Human Thief) - Masae (T'skrang Warrior) - Jayhem (Obsidiman Troubadour) - TheVocalButcher (Elven Swordmaster) - Freshmin (6th circle Babysister/Sky Raider) Join us: twitch.tv/jacklifear

I love designing game balance I love when it just "clicks" I love gathering the data I love finding solutions ... And all of this matters, cause I love spreadsheets

Definition of insanity is a statement that everyone can echo blindly and one person can make an opportunity from.

About a month ago I was in the hospital for a Gall Bladder removal. Since then I've ate very healthy. I'm 28 lbs down and 100% acceptable range blood sugar for 2 weeks straight.

So I spent most of this week in the hospital due to gal stones. Got some procedures done, including the removal of a "very angy gal bladder". I'm at home, surrounded by family and looking for a hopefully uncomplicated recovery. Shoutout to Beef broth, your savory notes got me through this week.

Hey friends, we're enjoying some Earthdawn. Every now and then I like to see what it's like to wing it! Zero prep session, let's have a ride www.twitch.tv/jacklifear

One of the most interesting influences on how I design indie games is the influence of background music/noise. I normally play Zen Buddhism for concentration Today the wife's WFH playlist includes MMMbop WAY different card design this morning...

Been waiting for Cast n Chill's launch since playing the demo, and it's heeere. 🤗 Came for the pixel art, stayed for the relaxed fishing viiiibes and pup petting. Lovely work from @wombatbrawler.com. 🎣 store.steampowered.com/app/3483740/...

People who retweet and share posts to help people are cool

I'm wondering if you can help me with something. @travelyan.bsky.social is helping a friend with a cool creative thing. Gotta be vague but looking for people with a passion to do cool shit and a mic to speak into. quick to do. If you are interested in being part of something memorable, dm me.

Today my youngest graduates high school. It's weird cause I firmly remember that his older brother graduated yesterday and 3 days before that I graduated.

Live now! Co-streaming with the host Lombax999

Hey friends. at 2:30pm CST I'll be live co-streaming my participation in a Twitch event based on the Survivor show. Importantly, to maintain integrity I will: 📵hide Twitch chat 🔕silence all alerts ⏲have stream delay When voted out, I'll keep the stream delay and commentate on the rest of the event

If you live life for "Always" and "Nevers", you'll miss out on everything else.

Earlier this year I would think: "I used to be something" These days I think: "Now I'm something else" Proud of where I am these days

Thinking about this post.

In tonight's #Earthdawn session, what happens when four 6-7 circle adepts escort a new circle 2 troubadour? We shall find out! Come enjoy: twitch.tv/jacklifear @jayhem.bsky.social @santadevs.bsky.social CvonBear @thevocalbutcher.bsky.social @novesnovele.bsky.social

JACKA-...er... FRIENDS ASSEMBLE! It's a birthday stream and I'm pretending it's 2014. I invited a lot of old friends, and we're starting with games and then talking a lot into the night for some reason twitch.jacklifear.com

May be relevant for a Sunday Evening Birthday Stream. Those who know, definately know. aottg2.itch.io/aottg2

Little repost in case people missed it. Spread the word, DM me or reply in the JAPC Alumni discord if you wanna see old friends.

Getting good response and I'm looking forward to saying hi to at least 10+ old friends. So my heart is full. Should start around 6pm CST. No Jackasses anymore, just good ol' friends.

Ya know, having a birthday that shares 4/20 and Easter is a whole level of asking yourself "Yo, I'm sober. Should I invite people knowing some of them may be having some messed up eggs?" ... Then I realize that didn't make me laugh. *sheepishly walks away from the mic*

Earthdawn: Benevolence is live! With DP (SourKoolAidShow), @myrathi.bsky.social , @thevocalbutcher.bsky.social , @alazyburrito.bsky.social , @freshmin.bsky.social Come enjoy the "Festival of Smoke: twitch.tv/jacklifear

Sunday the 20th is my birthday. I miss my old friends. Think I'll do a live podcast on Twitch.. Invite too many people to drop in and hang out... Open house format so it works on their schedule... Hope it feels like 2014... I expect no one to show up... But maybe.. maybe... Discord DMs open

Earthdawn: Benevolence - The Frozen Rite This is a hard session, I get to be mean. See their potential failure: twitch.tv/jacklifear The party who may die: @jooygirl.bsky.social @myrathi.bsky.social @novesnovele.bsky.social @santadevs.bsky.social #alazyburito

Badger's posts are in line with my thoughts. I don't like things going up in price, but I see people getting mad at cartridge prices and not food prices. From 1990, that's 33% compared to 400%+. *shrugs* Both are NOT good, but I care more about food in my boy's bellies than a luxury good.

Had a deep conversation that's inspired me to share a thought. It's ok to feel what you're feeling. I feel that instead of "acting" on your emotions, letting your emotions "fuel" your actions is incredibly powerful and balancing. One of the most powerful tools we have is our aware mind.

Day 2 of daily calisthenics are done again. Had to take a break from this since my surgery a few weeks ago and it's damn good to get started... but my body doesn't want to. I can't wait to get over this "slog" feeling again.

First night of RP on the TTRP Vintage Story Season 3 Server. This is my favorite one every year, and it's gonna be a great time digging a hole! Come say hi: twitch.tv/jacklifear

One of my favorite RP events is the #TTRP Vintage Story server—a comfy, casual Lovecraftian sandbox perfect for immersive Twitch content. It kicks off Friday at 9 PM! I'll be live as we dig into the mines of Embrasu. If you're curious to RP (or stream) with me, let me know!

Waking up to try out @sokpop.co 's new game SImmiland. It's a vibe as I watch the rise and fall of little pixellated Mankind. Always wanted to be a god. *Checks it off his bucketlist* twitch.jacklifear.com

Also, why are there SO MANY William DeFoe Gifs of Rebirth, I am disturbed!

Recovering from my surgery with some Relaxation and Rebirth. Come vibe: twitch.jacklifear.com
