we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

I probably should have made a post much earlier, but I am open for needle-felted commissions again this year! They make fantastic custom gifts for the holiday or any occasion!

there's no good voids left to scream into. all the voids are either at capacity or occupied by folks I know, defeating the point of screaming into them.

Feta cheese is kind of gross right up until it's in my mouth and then it's a delicious treat

Had the incredible day-souring experience of recording an ICE stop. They let the guy go, but boy howdy are they dickheads, even half-threatening me for recording the whole thing.

i love my dad but i cannot get him to stop sharing AI-generated memes and videos. I'm *this* close to blocking him to see if that gets it through his head.

"Wish you were here"-Neil.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

its october so i'm legally obligated to hyperfocus on all the horror projects i've started and failed to launch for the next several weeks. if anyone needs me, i can be summoned by mentioning slasher movies or uttering the phrase "final girl" in a mirror three times

for my lovers of physical media out there, stay wary and demand quality products www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzz_...

me: saves picture on phone me: opens PC file browser to send photo via laptop is there like a test or something i can do to find out if i'm stupid

do any of my friends have access to a car battery charger before I spend a hundred bucks I really don't want to lose? I'm trying to get my van back on the road in a tangible way and I do not have access to the charger that I thought I did.

honestly? the best part of my day is when the bus full of children drives past and they all make stupid faces at me.

my new job has me walking a whole lot more and i gotta say it feels really nice to move

I have what is generally accepted as a pretty uncommon name, so imagine my surprise when I googled myself quickly (to see what prospective employers get when they search my full name) and found an obituary for a guy with the same exact name as mine... except he spells his last name the "correct" way

I got the job offer! Spent the better portion of my afternoon filling out background checks, etc, but I will be starting a new position as a Crossing Guard for my local school system in just around a week!

Waiting in the car before my first interview in AGES, wish me luck~

I rewarded myself for doing a task today by spending the last of my Dunkin Rewards points on a sandwich on the walk home. Are you supposed to like, ask if you want your sandwich toasted? I always thought it was the default, but tasting an untoasted sandwich today made me realize maybe i'm spoiled?

fondly thinking about handing off tiny ziploc bags of LEGO Minifigures like its a drug deal

This is the sort of raw, emotional game design I aspire towards as a creator

If you went to #Connecticon this year and snapped any photos of a duo cosplay of Harry Dubois and Kim Kitsuragi, lemme know- it was probably me, and I tragically have no photos of myself in kit right now.

Anyone else go to #connecticon this year having trouble with gallery codes from the private photo booths? I did a shoot Saturday and Sunday and neither are showing up.

"Oh, this summer when LARP is on hiatus, I'll run some tabletop games!" the liar lied

16 years ago, I found myself in the back garden of a couple I'd just met, as they showed me their pillow fighting arena. The lesson they taught me about games - especially competitive ones - has stayed with me ever since, but I forgot to mention it in interviews when asked if competition is bad. So:

A year ago, today, you asked for a ride to the airport. You left your cat. You left your notebooks. You left your tent in my yard. I never even got to hear your voice.

I'm still thinking about my girlfriend telling me a work story that straight up sounded like an early entry in the computer logs of an "environmental storytelling" body found in a sci-fi action/horror game. I cannot understate the extent to which this has stuck in my brain.

I am routinely reminded that we are very much living in the future that I envisioned as a child, complete with robots and pocket computers, it's just that all of the cool tech inventions I was excited for are either still really early and buggy or completely suck ass thanks to capitalism

I cannot express to you how glad I am that we've advanced as a civilization far enough that games don't kick you back to the main menu when you get a Game Over. Honestly, it's been long enough since I've seen a Game Over screen that I wonder if kids even get what that means.

bit the bullet and started playing Pokemon TCG Pocket, really enjoying it more than I anticipated. Any mutuals who play wanna exchange friend codes?

I can't stop thinking about the video of a metal concert where the singer tells everyone to remain still, and the whole crowd obliges- motionless for a minute or so- only for the singer to say "That fucking sucked, it was awesome." And honestly more people need to get that stuff can be both.

I fucking hate being unemployed, dude. This sucks. Being jobless and without a vehicle might as well be a fucking death sentence in this country, how am I supposed to get a job with no public transit options and no businesses hiring in walking distance?

I truly believe that the optimal ratio for a tuna salad is 1:1 tuna to chopped pickles

s2 andor opens pretty strong in my mind! using the chandrilan wedding as a timekeeper is a good touch for the arc.

my cat is a volatile little asshole. he does not like other animals or strangers. yet, unburdened by logic or evidence, i continue to think "i bet he'd secretly be a nanny tom if we got him a kitten"

fun, weird ominous russian threats on our property border signs. love that for us

my roommate introduced me to this channel a while back but this particular short tickles me so deeply for some reason www.youtube.com/shorts/8GEu8...

idk why you are scooping on T4 when I have only milled half your deck. there's a whole half deck left in your library there has to be something good in there

The How To Train Your Dragon trailer is pretty much completely inoffensive from a visuals & direction standpoint... but I don't understand why it exists. Are we really so creatively bankrupt as a society that our only option is to remake flawless CG animated movies as CG-laden live-action movies?

i'm one of those nasty bois that eats pure trash food and loves it, but DAMN i cannot stress how disgusting "Celebrity Luncheon Loaf" is. I thought it was going to be like cheap spam, but it tastes pretty much like pig's foot dog treats

hey look a new Mountain Goats song

if i can hear your car's stereo bass from my house +500ft back from the road, I should legally be allowed to throw bricks at you

I miss having a void to shout my shitty poetry into

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phns... It's probably no surprise to you that Disco Elysium is one of my favorite games, given that I cosplay as Harry. This video is an excellent take, but if you know anything about my personal life, you probably can also understand why it has me literally sobbing rn

my cat is killing me. he keeps knocking his water dish everywhere and absolutely soaking the kitchen floor.

Who do you think has more galactic clout during the Empire era of Star Wars- the Hutts or the Pykes?

honestly there's nothing funnier to me than hearing OpenAI complaining that someone stole their IP
