hey it turns out that growing up one of the reasons your parents were in bad moods was that they opened up the newspaper that morning and learned that another one of the people they had unwittingly included in their personal cosmology winked out

The forecast for tomorrow has been gradually creeping up. Started at like 38, climbed to 40... then to 42, 43, 44... Looks like it'll be 45 now. Celcius. I'm going to melt into a little puddle.

"An armor called fantasy." Personal piece inspired by reflections about escapism. #art

Someone in my building managed to set off the fire alarm and cause us to all evacuate at 8am. I just want to know what the hell they were doing at 8am, honestly. Burning their toast?

the other day my 8yo said Spanish was his third language. then he counted "uno, dos, tres..." all the way up to "nueve" and then said "uh, i forget." i said "diez?" and this kid straight up replied "diez nuts"

Why must the shops get ever more expensive

So, here is one scene in Icewind Dale II that I always found interesting - one of the main antagonists, Madae, a cambion, confronts Iselore a powerful half-elf druid ally of yours to try and take a powerful magic gem. Here the villain is absolutely right to tell a "hero" to check their privelage.

My painting COASTAL POPPIES

The firefighters in VIC right now are honestly just walking legends Can't believe most of them are volunteers, this is amazing work we're seeing

The sky is tinted orange, people are reporting ash rain, and there are like... ten emergency-level bushfires, now? Plus all the smaller ones? This is horrifying and apocalyptic and I'm so worried

Victoria is heading into a day of catastrophic fire danger. The forecasts look like Black Saturday's. It'll be 43C+ with gusts up to potentially 110km/h. The bushfires are already burning strong. Winter was way too dry. I'm pretty fucking scared.

Happy new year, all! Here's to a year of hopefully less *unwanted* shenanigans and more fun stuff instead. Looking forward to Pathfinder with my nerds, board games with friends, and more cat pics from mum!

My heart froze when I read 'CDPR sells GOG'. Thankfully it's actually good news. It's now just independent and self-owned.

another year, another 20+ translated Japanese game developer interviews published by @shmuplations.bsky.social at shmuplations.com —the final updates for the year just went up, so allow me to run down what's been translated over the course of 2025, from most to least recent: (thread)

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Winter Wooper for a friend :)

There's currently a massive existential threat to a museum in my hometown. We're hoping that online voices will help protect Banbury Museum from being defunded and shut down. This is a really special place to me & to my family, I'd appreciate help! www.change.org/p/save-banbu...

This is ASPIRATIONAL. I know this went round a while back and pissed a lot of people off, like to the degree where they were screaming about it being abelist - but I've not seen it with this full context before.

React Native is so weird to look into after working largely with either pure TS or React itself. Quickly realising why people like using Expo.

Came across a sliced image Pen with a clipped `img` for each slice of the sliced image. So I made an accesible fork with a single `img` elem per sliced image - libe on @codepen.io codepen.io/thebabydino/... Bonus: drop shadow + can easily modify the number of slices from the Sass - just change `n`!

Australia's mandatory verification rules just kicked in. Naturally, I'm already being pegged as under 16 because I look young, and scanning my government ID into random websites feels horrifically unsafe. This is an absolute shambles already.

I really hate when you're heading to bed and that annoying work problem pops into your head JUST as you're nice and chilled out. UE5 blueprint bullshit is for *after* I sleep, brain.
