Pushed myself and did twelve new 16 clears last night. Including close to a new AAA on Starlight in the Snow! Just four more to go for Valkyrie Quest 2025! #deviddr

Will I be seeing friends at PAXU? I'll be there all three days, but work schedules don't get sent out till literally two or three days beforehand, so... guess I'll find out where/when at some point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Attempting to fight depression & overwhelm today by sorting and putting away some of my mom's things. I like that I have to write "Nests and Bugs" as one of her possession categories.

Reminder for music game arcade nerds, today is eamuse extended maintenance

Rebecca Heineman is a legend. If you’re playing video games right now then the work she has done has impacted you.

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it" My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Very happy that I got 10 hours of sleep last night, and also had some sickass dreams. I was on a spy mission and doing lots of parkour, climbing and jumping between moving vehicles (including a refrigerator truck), though I don't know why. Then, I got a hot pink cyber raver outfit. Hell yeahhh

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

Today's session with @imamagnet.bsky.social led to me clearing fourteen new 16's! I just have sixteen left to go for my clear lamp, which I need to accomplish by Nov. 22. Also, I got 16 AAA #10 today!!! Thanks to those who popped into chat and kept us company! #deviddr

Wait I think I got it okay. Online now?

Nm I can't figure out how to stream from my phone, Twitch won't show any external video, just my phone screen. That was embarrassing lol. Please cheer me on regardless! I am a luddite

About to go live with @imamagnet.bsky.social to play DDR! Give warm-up suggestions and cheer me on to play 16's for Valkyrie Quest, plz! Will put the pledge link again in the comments twitch.tv/shadowobsessed

Last night was my haunt's end-of-season cast party :) Even though it was my first season in the Education Department, I was nominated for Educator of the Year!! I'm so happy to have been nominated, and that I got to take Magnet with me to experience some of the silly chaos. <3

One precious thing I was gifted by @shadowobsessed.bsky.social’s mother was her Fallen Empires collection. It still has handwritten pricing stickers from when she would vend cards on the side for extra funds in the 90s. I’m hoping to fill it out and complete it someday.

Prolific board game designer Amabel Holland has won the second annual Bobby Nunes Memorial Award - recognising exceptional discussion of cultural issues in historical gaming - for her video essay on Kurt Vonnegut's long-lost board game: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... @amabel.bsky.social

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

German court rules that OpenAI violated copyright laws by training ChatGPT on music 🎵 • May set precedent for Europe AI copyright uses • OpenAI disagrees & can appeal "The internet is not a self-service store, and human creative achievements are not free templates" — German Music Rights Society

A new friend of Magnet's invited us to play a TTRPG one-shot together soon :) It's been a full decade since I've been invited to play a role-playing game with anyone. My very first experience (D&D campaign) was an awful one so it soured me, but I hope to learn & try new fun things soon!

Knocked out a quarter of my Valkyrie Quest DDR Goal 1 by taking down ten new 16 clears! 30 left to go by November 22nd :) 💪 (Last pic: How it started --> How it ended) #deviddr

Brrrrr, it's so cold today! All I've wanted to do lately is cuddle up with my cats, which I'm pretty sure they appreciate too. Okay, on my way to the arcade.

Thanks to @princexofpauper.bsky.social & Jeanne for inviting @imamagnet.bsky.social & I to our first decoden event :> Despite my shaky hands, I'm very happy with the paw-shaped phone stand and the hair clip I decorated! Yayyyy It'll take 5 days to dry, but I'm excited to use our new deco'd things!

My third season at the haunt wrapped last night. This was my first year working as a dedicated educator, and I had SUCH a rewarding time of challenging myself and what I can do. Someone asked if I worked at the museum site full-time, because of how knowledgeable I was :') It felt pretty damn good!

Tomorrow's my last night working at the haunted house/historic grounds, then I'll have more time. Thanks for all of your support. Tonight, I comforted a girl on a field trip from Virginia who didn't want to do any more scary things. She asked "can I hang with you?" & we talked for a little while :')

Started a li'l YouTube channel so people can follow my Valkyrie Quest progress! Vids soon :) www.youtube.com/channel/UCRD... The three newest 16 clear's from my latest session earlier this week, including a new AAA on Jungle Dance. I have 40 left to go! Also, I flagged Vertigo! (the 15) #deviddr

Hi, folks! I'm raising money for a children's hospital in NY by playing lots of Dance Dance Revolution! If you want to pledge money to my cause, please go to this link: shorturl.at/olLkO I have until Nov. 22nd to reach my goals, and supporters donate on the 23rd :) more info in comments! #deviddr

I talk to the press professionally, I'm really, really, really good at it. So please, please believe me when say you cannot turn this interview request into anything good, it will do only harm. Harm to you, harm to your child, harm to other children.

The urge is rising again to start a new Skyrim save and play it all day and night for three weeks straight

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

I may live in Philadelphia, but Zohran is still my mayor!!! 🥳🥳🥳

I am so very happy for New York right now 💞💞💞

Please vote if you have a local election today! The smallest elections make the biggest difference down the line. Polls close at 8 p.m.!

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I have no context for this Boba Fett employee card(?) I made as a kid 20+ years ago

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani? great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

got my first suit 🌿

Happy Halloween from your local neighborhood Hot Topic mall goth 🎃👽👻☠️🐈‍⬛ feat. stuff I already had in my closet

I put up some decorations for All Hallow's Eve :) My mom would have gone all out with decorating her whole porch for the kids, so I wanted to at least get some lights up. Enjoy your holiday and have a safe and fun Halloween, everybody 🎃💗

Suggestions for a costume to wear at my bakery café on Friday? My planned Halloween costume is all-white, so... I'm not wearing it there lol (game-related a plus) (something I can wear an apron with + I need to put my hair up/wear a hat)

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other. It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

This announcement by Iain is not a lie. We are releasing on the spoooooookiest day of the year. The cast is not remotely spooky. It is a Q&A / agony aunt show about tabletop games. Except... we're all GHOOOOOOSTS

Been refining my prison hospital flashlight tour at work :D Got a very good evaluation last night, and one customer said I reminded him of Velma 🤣 also, someone tried to tip me last week! Going to add this to my resume for sure, in case I can go for some type of museum or tour guide job later on.
