Core memory: This book series changed my life as a kid. It's what got me into fantasy, D&D, and RPG video games. I LOVED them. I used the "close eyes and point your pencil randomly at the grid to roll 1d10" thing (but I'd kinda cheat), until I realized that 10 sided dice EXISTED, which led me to D&D

What in the fresh hell 🤣

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

What is going on in this product photo? Why would any human being bust out a corded air blowing device to blow some sprinkles off of a plate?

Six years ago today, my beloved son was murdered. He is with me in every single breath I take. He was only 20, but lived quite a life despite his young age. Now I try to live in such a way that I can live some of the life he never got to. He continues to inspire me. I love you, Kyle.

Supergiant Games appreciation post ✨ To this day, my favorite indie dev of all time. Absolute incredible masterpieces all, and a huge congrats on the 1.0 launch of Hades II 🔥🔥🔥

And do this for others, too.

I’ve lived through at least three raptures in my lifetime, what’s your superpower? 🤨

this is fucking epic, and i do not use that word lightly. holy shit. @sadqueer4life.bsky.social

"There are too many good video games coming out this year" Yeah they were built by talented, skillful game devs five years ago while people were actually supported by their employers, paid well, and allowed to cook. Enjoy the bounty. Five years from now it might not look so good.

Every major video game company is silent when employees are harassed because they are petrified their bottom line will be affected. That bottom line is a group of toxic, terrible, trifling ass gamers who they should NOT WANT TO SELL TO ANYWAY. But capitalism prevails, and they cower.

This is somehow even stupider than the fictional media in Idiocracy: the most popular movie in America, "Ass" or the show "Ow, my balls!"

*the 27% of the time it actually works, this is true

Shout-out to @seauxcocoa.bsky.social for introducing me to whiskey caramel flavored popcorn. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I feel ya, Kaden #trailsposting

THANK YOU 🍋‍🟩

Hey, if you're autistic, I just wanna let you know, screw the quacks and jackasses! None of you should be made to feel broken or less than, and I'll always try my best to be welcoming as I can be. Hope you all stand tall, and you have my solidarity. ❤️

She's done it again.

Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

Now THAT'S a backlog

I have been playing @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com on the realm Thrall for many years. A trade chat trope is "Is wow dying?" asked non-stop every day all day. One player made a website... and wrote an entire electro-bop song. Please listen to this it's incredible 🤣 Shout-out to sanstuah-thrall 🧡

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

Every time I start a huge new jrpg: "I should look up a missable achievements guide" 25 hours in, when I realize I've missed an achievement for good: "I should have looked up a missable achievements guide"

Imagine being from anywhere besides America and reading this story.

I visited the river that's been a part of my life for my whole life. Can't just touch grass. You gotta touch water sometimes too. Late summer is incredible here. Warm enough for me to get into the water, but the leaves are changing. Pure magic Rifle River, Moffatt Township, MI

thinking about big rice

The US is probably gonna tell everybody that Homo Sapiens is being renamed to Hetero Sapiens next

And it's still $59.99. I am not gonna buy this and add yet another game to my 700+ game backlog until this goes on deep discount lol

The old trope of arguing with "Google guy", the person who would always just use search results to make their arguments in any disagreement is like.... orders of magnitude worse when it becomes "ChatGPT guy". The harm this technology is causing won't truly be understood for years.

TRAILSPOSTING: I can't believe it took me 11 hours to complete just the prologue. So far, this is all set up to be an incredible adventure. Everything is so charming about the world of Trails in the Sky. (I'm playing the original, not the remake)

Gaming question of the day. In your opinion, what Console had the best start-up sequence? #gaming #question #opinion #promosky

Fishing with my kiddo @freshyp.bsky.social in Zangarmarsh 💙🖤

For the first time in months, I got an email from a job I applied for that WASN'T a rejection. Instead it was a GDPR notice asking if I consent to the company having my data 🤣 At this point, I'll take it

The banality of evil. Google maps showing utter devastation of Gaza, while showing businesses "temporarily closed". I cried when I saw the candy store.

I'm gay

I'm gonna indulge my "that guy" for a minute and say: Seeing a picture of Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon side by side: I have absolutely no idea which is which 🥲

It was over back when Google folded immediately and called it the "gulf of america"

here's what it looks like in @anisota.net to compose an anisota post instead of a bluesky post "net.anisota.feed.post" easily change which lexicon your post gets published to, thereby increasing or decreasing the potential size of your audience for whatever mood you're in

Watching humans get dressed must be a horrifying ritual to cats.

Wow. 21 huge and iconic properties in Eastern Market are for sale. This is a huge chunk of thriving Detroit culture for sale all at once. My guess is someone very rich will buy most, or all, of these en masse.

Shocked but not surprised to learn how many ~titans of industry~ who probably think of themselves as brave ballsy businessmen are actually cowardly pieces of shit when it counts.

I didn't think I was the kinda guy who enjoyed "cleaning up data" but here I am now with @infinitebacklog.net encouraging me to complete "quests" in a "guild" which is really just a disguise for "do @igdb.com database cleanup work" and I seem to be enjoying it. Dammit gamification!

Bernie Sanders' approach to working-class people in West Virginia is a template. This is how to build power and coalition. Never forget this country is 330+ million working class people and only a couple hundred thousand very disgustingly, offensively rich people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP8O...

I absolutely loved Star Tropics as a kid. Obsessed with it. What a great retrospective
