I am about to learn a fuck ton about dnd though. This was just sitting on my bookshelf! When did I buy it? Who knows!

I'm playing Baldur's Gate on easy mode because I don't know anything about dnd or adventure gaming and honestly it might be a bit too easy now but really all games should have a mode like this. Sometimes I just wanna push my person around and win at things is that so bad

I'm not really existing any more. Just working and then playing Baldur's Gate. Luckily Adam is also playing Baldur's Gate so our marriage is staying intact

I'm so over my job I don't know what to do

I have no idea what was happening with the Claudia scene I think, completely ooc? Completely unnecessary to any character development? Weird and racist? Did they just desperately need a Mayfair crossover that badly? Could have done anything else.

I have no idea what is happening in the vampire Lestat show or where they're going with it or why they've focussed on some things but not others or made shit up But god Lestat and Louis are ridiculously beautiful. Like they have a filter on them at all times. Maybe they do. It's overwhelming.

Bringing one of the best tweets of all time over to Bluesky in honour of the Three Lions QF victory

Having kids that turn into teens is actually so fun guys. Like they're hilarious humans, and just.. Friends that you made yourself, with influences you helped feed them And yet sometimes you're allowed to just tell them to do chores and they do them

I'm getting hairier as I get older and I wonder when I'm old and infirm whether I'm just going to be seated in my chair with a full blown beard Who's threading the great grandmas

I was doing so well making headway into my tbr pile and watching films But now I'm 15 or 20 hours into my first Baldur's Gate run and suddenly I understand why people lose all their time to gaming

I made a website that lets you cut out old magazines from the internet archive (or any PDFs you own) and make collage art out of them: ✂️ clipart.studio

I try different things but my core puzzle rotation is AM: NYT-Wordle, Connections, Strands. Then Minute Cryptic PM: NYT-Crossword, Spelling Bee, Sudoku If I need more, I do the London Times - Quick Cryptic, Telegraph - Sorted, PlusWord and Codewords Framed is fun when I remember to do it

This thread is a DELIGHT.

Hey Lestat why is Stained Glass Eyes not on Spotify. I wanna cry a bit

They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

turn on sisyphus fm for non-stop rock and it's just the rolling stones 24/7

we are one day away from the funniest VAR offsides graphic ever

I have lived my entire adult life amongst my genderqueer friends here and yet I was in the Baldur's Gate 3 character creator screen today wondering why choosing 'female' did not fucking change my appearance Delighted when I finally worked it out. Default-normative wiring is hard to break :(

Just telling myself that this is part of a rich full human experience

Ok i think i can switch off now

Oh dear

Penalties are a cruel and unusual punishment

I've stopped wearing glasses to watch the soccer. Whatever happens happens I cannot watch But I cannot not watch

Soccer is for jerks

I spent the whole day at work venting to whoever would listen and the consensus is actually I'm in the work equivalent of an abusive relationship and I need out. Now. Thank God it's the weekend.

The F1 sprint qualifying is at 1:30 - 2:15am. The Australia v Egypt world cup match is at 4am What's the go here, do I just go to bed at 8am and get a nap in first

Soccer is crazy

There's a new guy in my team who is vision impaired and uses a screen reader His screen reader pronounces GIF with 'J' sound 😩

Well that was smart of me because my boss wants to downsize 😭

It's that time again when they open up applications for overseas postings and I start dreaming about being sent overseas As if it's a holiday and not a serious undertaking with a diplomatic passport Still wild that it's open to me though

I'm updating my cv because I haven't done so in two years and so I'm saving myself some future pain but goddamn it it's so painful

I read a bunch of short books and a few easy re-reads this month, still trying to exercise my reading muscles again.

I got a new couch delivered today and we found 15 cat toys under the old couch. It was like multiball in pinball, the cats lost their goddamn minds

It's that time of year where you get told how much you earned for the last financial year and you wonder where you pissed all that money away

The Captive Prince deals with slavery and child abuse and war and I still find it easier to read the turmoil of The Long Game. Loneliness, especially when you're still amongst people, really upsets me

Why in stories must characters go through pain and strife before the happy ending

Lol Tom Cashman has accepted a chess match on chess.com with Toby That's so great.

www.recipetineats.com/roast-pumpki... Here is a tried and true foolproof recipe, I make it as a dinner side and for guests and it always gets devoured and complimented and it is astonishingly easy and I always have the ingredients on hand.

It's that time of year again where I go, 'what if I pretended to enjoy cooking' and give it a go I also need to clear out my aspirational freezer where I buy cuts of meat etc to make dishes I never do If I post photos of meals here, please send encouragement 😂

World first: I have people dropping by today and it only took me an hour and a half to get my house looking clean and presentable. This is a record for me please be proud of me

I don't know how much Tom Cashman gets paid for Taskmaster Australia but it's not enough

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

this is up there with "men is too headache" for stories of fierce babushka allyship

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”

Lrt: actually lately I've been loving Cliff Marlow in fanfic as the ultimate bro/second in command. I read a fic once where Marlow was homophobic and I was so shocked I had to nope out of the fic immediately

I was just about to say 'Watson' but then became horrified at myself for imagining Watson as anything but an equal important partner
