I have the most niche complaint. I sent myself Pushbullet notifications as a todo list. Last year, Android lowered the limit of notifications from one app form 22 to 10. Inconvenient! They raised it again in November (40+), but now notifications auto-dismiss themselves after a couple days.

“Are you the branch manager?” “Yes I am, how can I help you?” “I would like two branches, please.” “How would you like that?” “Two big sticks, four little sticks.”

Cyberrats brings the xcom formula to the table with low health and high tactics. Drink goo to mutate yourself and gain new powers as you advance in your unique career to fight off extraterrestrial invaders, all while soaking in the gorgeous art. A version in space, with mechs, is coming soon.

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK "Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

I wish: I wish my arm didn't quite hurt I wish this cow would give us some milk I wish to go to the festival

Cyberrats is definitely more XCOM than TF2, but we do have an engineer class

How's everyone doing tonight I think I broke my wrist

Cyberrats, by @alexrineh.art, is another LUMEN hack about genetically engineered rats fighting hostile extraterrestrials. Pump yourself full of Biotech and go fight aliens! alrine.itch.io/cyberrats

You've heard of hired thugs, well how about some tired hugs

CYBERRATS! CYBERRATS! CYBERRATS!

The third and final Cyberrats Radio Hour is almost upon us...

While you're here follow my kickstarter for tactical mech ttrpg it'll be great www.kickstarter.com/projects/201...

We had so much stuff basically figured out but they couldn't make the line go up enough and now we all have to suffer

The one that stuck with me was Hemingway’s advice to himself in his memoir A Moveable Feast: All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know.

I used to be able to tell my phone "navigate to Costco" and it would pull up directions. Now an AI voice tells me the address of the two nearest Costcos and advises me to use Waze or MapQuest to get there. If I open Google Maps and type Costco, I get an ad for Safeway.

Did everyone's elementary school bring in a whole ass kiln for a pottery unit and never talk about it again or was that just mine

We have an absolutely stacked lineup of guest writers for Cyberrats in Space

Here's a thing I think should be illegal. Me: I'd like a plane ticket Airline: that's $300 Me: Great! I'll sit... Airline: oh you want to pick your seat? That's an extra $80. Me: OK, I guess. Where can I sit? Airline: the cheapest seat is an extra $50

what's that sound?

Benzo doesn't understand tug. Maeve does, but if I play with her, Ben tackles her out of the way. PAPA WANTS THE ROPE! GIVE ROPE!

my dude has rediscovered the commons and I could not be happier for them

Slugblaster roleplaying tip: When pretending to be a teenager remember that teenagers are pretending to be adults.

Thrilled to announce that Glorydays is happening, and thanks go grant money from the city of Bothell, it will be free to residents of Washington

OH SHIT WADDUP THE RATS ARE BACK WITH A SPLASH!🐀 In this latest video we check out the delightful expansion to CyberRats with Rise of the Briny Bastards! And I gotta say @alexrineh.art absolutely cooked with this. youtu.be/jORIK5_GMf8 #ttrpg #review #youtube

Authors don't know how tall 6'4 is, or possibly how little 200 lbs is at that scale. I keep reading descriptions like, "He was a mountain of a man, 6'4 and 200 lbs" NO! At that height, 200 lbs is SKINNY! It breaks my immersion. Just say he's big and muscly, don't bring numbers into this.

Cyberrats sidesteps inventory by making items refresh every mission. You don't have to decide the best time ever to use a grenade, just the best time *this mission*. It'll be there again next time.

We’re in the final days and can really use your support! There are some great comics in this anthology that you’ll really enjoy

Played a bit of Relooted and found it to be... Fine? I'm still getting tutorial vibes, and I'd like to know if there's more depth if I keep trying, but all of the reviews I've found are either incredibly vague: rebuffing the controversy+racism complaints at a surface level; or perpetuating the same

Finished Indika. It has the worst volume mixing I've ever encountered in any media ever. Characters will be reading their lines at random volumes, even in the same scene. There's a lot of subtext, and maybe not quite enough text. And I love games that trust the audience! All that, I still liked it

Heya! I'm one of the co-creators for CYBERRATS, an xcom and TMNT inspired LUMEN game about being a giant rat under late capitalism! The kickstarter for the third and final book for the game launches in June, y'all should follow it here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/201...

Of course this looks pretty, but I also personally know a dozen people who would LOVE what this is pitching.

I've got some exciting news... As a way of saying thank you to the TTRPG community for all the love and support y'all have given me for Breathless over the years, I decided to fully revamp the original pamphlet and giive it for free for y'all to enjoy some zombie survival horror gaming ^^ Enjoy ❤️!

The fateful button has been pressed and HEDGE is now live on Kickstarter. If you thought Captain Planet would be cooler with body horror and deadly weapons, or Diablo III could've used more combo skills, or wish that the world's problems could be solved by biomechanical magic ninjas, check it out.

Laudatory feedback never goes amiss. And it tends to spur on more of the stuff you like. Now maybe a friend, a peer, or a recognized critic can assume their critique is welcome. Maybe. Not everyone's gonna like your stuff. That's cool. I assume most people don't. Luckily, I don't make it for them.

To bring the fight to the Interlopers, the GDG Conglomerate pooled the last of their resources into the construction of THE ASTRID. Ever since, the generation ship has pursued our enemies through slowspace. Under the custodianship of THE COMPANY, you can see how the rats have flourished

Now that's what I call a super sharp pamphlet. Super cool layout and vibes. Lynn really cooked for this #BreathlessJam supplement

One of my favorite long games, now with a fast version? Heck yeah

Hello! I'm looking for a queer horror artist for an anthology short (6-8 pgs)! This is paid work and the rate will go up based on crowdfunding. New creators welcome! Please DM ME with your PORTFOLIO. Final pages will be due in two months. I'll contact my choice in the next two weeks. Thanks!

I have beef with the catch up mechanic in Ticket To Ride Legacy. You have a caboose and a president. The person in last gets both. The president grants an extra turn at the end of the game. The caboose lets you go first. NO! The caboose should come at the END! The president goes first! Come on!

Air Bud's real strength on the basketball field is that the other team fouls out trying to pet him

Something is beeping in my house and I'm turning into the fly episode of breaking bad

I'm too exhausted by 2026 to do this, but hi there #PortfolioDay I have done barely anything this year, and I meant to have many more pages of Hellhound, the comic you can read for free (link in quoted post), but life has beaten me down please look at my art anyway, some day I will have more!

"What" It's the beginning of a sentence. "What glory we have heard of the spear danes! Folk kings of old!" "Hwæt" is improperly rendered as an exclamation, but "Hwæt" is not an interjection in old English. If the Beowulf poet mean "ecce!" he would have written "efne nū."
