There’s a style of comedy that throws as many jokes at you as possible, so if one joke doesn’t land - it’s fine b/c there will be another joke a minute later which makes you cackle. The bane of this type of comedy is that one person who hears the worst joke of the bunch and analyzes it to death.

D&D seems to teach a lot of people the false lessons that TTRPGs normally have a base cost of $150 and take a lot of time to learn.

Underpainting mostly done! I think the background is gonna be super fun to paint, I think it needs some more little wiggly guys behind elric. Apologies to Louboutin shoes.

Destigmatizing explicit content makes it more likely creators will tag it accordingly, which makes it easier for people to not interact with stuff they don't want to see.

If you draw a character who's textually in their 50s as a twentysomething with one (1) grey streak in their hair, I'm not actually going to DO anything about it, but I will silently judge you with furious intensity.

is it an "art style" if i draw inconsistently every time

My boomer complaint is that no pc game should require you to make changes in BIOS and/or require me to install anything additional to run the game. Just let me play the damn game

COMEDIAN: “Boy, it’s hot…” AUDIENCE: “How hot is it?!?!?” ME, A FREE THINKER: “Pfft. It’s not that hot.”

do not. address it

This may sounds silly but one of my most effective "life hacks" has been having a specific day of the week to have on certain shows. Like star trek Tuesdays or anime Wednesdays. Not necessarily to focus on watching them but to have regular, routine, background noise while I'm busy elsewhere.

Absolutely! #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Well I'm not gonna throw away the moleskines that I already own. I actually really missed drawing in pencil it's been years and years since I did. Some folks loosely inspired by the Bas Lag series by China Mieville.

ME: “Why don’t you sell PDFs of your books?” RPG PUBLISHER: “Because if we do, you’ll pirate it.” ME: “But I want a PDF version…” RPG PUBLISHER: “Too bad.” ME: “I guess I’ll pirate it…” RPG PUBLISHER: “Aha! I knew it!”

Sorry but if you want to have political influence you need to get out of your left-wing bubble on Bluesky and start converting eight year olds to Marxism on Roblox

We don’t let my kids play video games online, and my 14 yo son begged me to. Told him no, but why not invite his friends over, they can play switch and have pizza or totinos. They’ve done this twice and in two weeks are coming over to watch a scary movie. Apparently we are now the coolest parents.

Society should work like video games where eventually you hit the max amount of money and items you’re allowed to have. The rest goes to the public but you get a fun trophy.

People pretend like games from the 90s and 00s were perfectly made on release because they couldn't patch them (specifically on console) and I feel like folks misremember that it was because we didn't expect games to get fixed so we just considered any non-game breaking issue as "part of the game".

A small goodness, but right at this moment I don't think there's anything as sweet as a loved one reading your book and quoting passages back to you with delight.

Wrote up a whole thread but deleted it because it can be boiled down to: I think "female friendship" as a separate concept of friendship is a scam. All friendships require effort, all can be magical, all can be toxic or codependent, and gender doesn't have to come into it

Before you call someone cringe for loving a game too much, remember: You don’t know what that world got them through. You don’t know what that character helped hold together. You don’t know how badly they needed something to look forward to. That’s not cringe. That’s survival with the volume up.

Disney Star Wars isn't any worse than what came before, you're just an adult, now.

I too find the Disney adult thing/ extended adolescence inherent to fandom culture annoying but you should have the clarity to understand that this is just a product of demographic changes in our aging society. Too often “Bad Taste” is treated like a political problem by progressive intellectuals

Also, a lot of Disney Adults are the type of people who will actually accurately describe Walt Disney’s union busting and tell you about how evil the corporation is with immaculate levels of historical detail because it’s a special interest

We've been watching these absolutely unhinged Mickey shorts on Disney+ lately and so far I think my favorite is the one that in like 5 minutes of cartoon begins to deal with the fact that both Pluto and Goofy are dogs.

UMBERT ACTUALLY! EP 3!!! VFX artists are overworked and underpaid! #UmbertActually #UnionYaoi #MistermanGuyfella #Jellybox #IndieAnimation

There is always an internet mob searching for a new victim to laugh and cringe at, for no reason except that it makes them feel good. This should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: This is NOT a crowd you want to make friends with.

I think I'm starting to get the hang of LRGB imaging with the Pleiades here. I reprocessed old data last night on stream and came away with the beauty #astronomy #astrophotography

Today's frog is the white-edged tree frog.

I'm just a boy. Standing in front of a drain. Pouring boiling water down the sink to kill gnats.

Where’s the audience surrogate character who says, “No, DON’T just kiss already! Talk about your feelings like responsible adults!” That would make me feel represented, personally.
