I finished a game I have been making minutes of progress on at a time for over a year. I finished a book that has sat next to my bed gathering dust I have started three times some I bought it last fall. I am ready to consume another story immediately. Little by little, one travels far.

This moment has been so long in coming. 🥲

Went to the stupid gym for my stupid mental health and am unhappy to report that I feel better, actually. 😠

I know that this problem is nothing in comparison to the world burning down, but man, I just wanna feel ignited again. I want to finish a book and then voraciously read 5 more. I want to start a loaf of bread and then need to make a cake to stretch my baking muscles in the kitchen. (thread, 1/?)

FFXIV almost-done-with-Dawhtrail Thought of the Day: IF I HAD STOPPED FOR AETHER CURRENTS THIS WOULD GO MUCH FASTER, FUCK

In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian canceled an event at Utah State after a credible assassination threat because the school’s response was that Utah allows guns on college campuses. People have warned about this kind of violence for years. But they weren’t the people the powers at be wanted to protect.

I have had a hell of a week and the hits have gotten into the habit of unceasing. But I’m headed home, wounded but recovering, on a train across the country, and the bright full moon over the treetops takes my breath away. This world is so beautiful. And I’m thankful to be a part of it. ❤️

EIGHTY. PERCENT.

If there is anyone in Sacramento who is interested in an absolutely lovely cat let me know. I love her but we are not the right house for her. I tried to be!! And she will stay here until she finds another home. I won’t take her to the shelter. But it’s been 2 years of her driving me bonkers.

Trigger warning: 💉 The feeling of not having an IV in my arm is just. Elation. Complete elation. I’m so thankful.

the horrors persist and so do my deadlines

If you’ve never gotten appendicitis at a con out of state holy fuck do I not recommend it

Millennials, are we done with gray yet? Can we be???

here’s my hot take Gavin Newsom and his socials management are exactly what we need rn AND he’s a terrible person who shouldn’t be glorified or voted into any public office ever again it can be both

The absolutely devastating feeling of taking a nap because you feel a little off and waking up feeling worse and with the knowledge that you are, without a shadow of a doubt, ill. 🥲

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

A federal court ruled that ANTHROPIC illegally copied MILLIONS of books to train its AI. All authors and publishers whose books were downloaded by Anthropic from pirate websites are subject to receiving compensation. This could involve your work. For more info: authorsguild.org/news/anthrop...

RE: my last post, I’m sorry, I’m not usually like this and I try not to sappy-post too much on main but this picture of him fills my heart with joy and sharing the experience of camping with him has been better than I could ever have imagined. I just like @kylemccarley.com a whole lot. 🥰

In my brain there is currently only camping. The lack of other noise inside and out feels…wonderful.

Extremely grateful that I learned to make pasta for dinner on days when I have no energy to cook because I usually have even less energy the day after that and pasta always tastes better on the second day. It’s little life hacks like this that allow me to parade as a functioning adult.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

What would you say is the last technological "advancement" that measurably improved your quality of life?

"I hear you need a healing salve, don't worry I got you covered. Cost? No cost...unless you have some treats for my lil bud Tris" INCREDIBLE piece by @leflayart.bsky.social I'm absolutely obsessed with how well they captured my boy #SuprArt

Oh, it feels SO gross to have been excited about a game only to find out it used AI voices when you went to play it. I want devs to do better. If you can’t afford human voices, don’t get them. Your players can read the text, I promise. Ugh, I’m so disappointed!

It feels so weird to say this after not streaming for so long but GOING LIVE COME HANG OUT FOR COZY GAMES twitch.tv/littledanica

The Wholesome Games celebration on Steam is going to be the end of me 🥲

It’s a Gin Blossoms kind of day.

Just a reminder that crashing after a con is normal! Take care of yourself emotionally, friends. It's been a lot of "go, go, go!" And now you're going to be feeling the downhill part of that. It's normal and you aren't alone. So cozy up or cuddle your pet. Be kind to yourself today. 🩷

Is there anything more beautiful than seeing your friends doing awesome things and achieving the success they deserve? 🥹🥹🥹

Weelll, today’s the day! I have many things to put in suitcases and many things to clean around the house, and then we’re GenCon bound! I hope to see some friendly faces there. 🥰

TFW you have 900 things to do before Gencon but you put on every yukata you own instead because you took an evening trip to an Obon festival and there were so many pretty yukata there that you felt like you missed out and had to remedy the situation. 🙃

If you're gonna be at #Gencon, come play @bnbtable.top Trivia with me, @mostlyeric.bsky.social and @littledanica.bsky.social, Friday at 3pm. Tickets available on the Gencon event portal!

Casting Whispers features many moments where Victoria doubts her senses and reality isn't what it seems. With these, I gave myself an important rule: "If possible, do not take control away from the player." Most of the time it is happening while in full control of Victoria, not in a cutscene.

Pardon me as I take my turn being an old man yelling at cloud: As a buyer/seller on secondhand platforms, I find myself constantly yelling about how words *mean* things. A shirt can’t be linen if the tag reads 100% polyester. Double-breasted means two columns of buttons. Please. Words mean things.

I made it three feet out of bed this morning to the bathroom door before I smashed a finger and ruined any chance of a redeemable day. Some days it really do be like that.

With alt text! And yeah: I totally agree ☺️🖤

Accidentally got nostalgic and read the entirety of Anne of Green Gables in one go again because I was looking for a single line, got distracted, and read the whole thing. There’s just something about that book that always feels like coming home. A reminder of how beautiful it is to be alive. 💕
