CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S FINALLY TIME FOR MAK MERCH! LET’S GO!!! makandveeds.com

Today everyone helped me: 1) Pick a pattern to crochet. 2) Pick what colors to use. 3) Choose an accessory for him. 4) Name him. 5) Create a backstory. So, I'd like you to meet Snailvester the Mail Snail, a lovely snail who grew up always wanting to deliver mail, and made that dream come true! 🐌

human [crochet] artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you!

It's official! My Sherma pattern is complete and finally posted. If you've been waiting for this day, I appreciate your patience. As a full time professor, my crochet is something that sometimes has to take a back seat. But he's here, and he's ready! ko-fi.com/s/45213746b0

Just finished crocheting my third Sherma. This was the last test before the pattern release, which will happen this coming week! This Sherma is not yet adopted, so reach out if you're interested in taking this cutie home. 😇

My body is ready.

Mochi and I wish you a happy and gay new year! 🌈💕

There isn't much that's quite as disappointing as buying a new bed set and discovering the fitted sheets don't have tags marking the top/bottom. What do you expect me to do with that???

Episode 3 of Heated Rivalry, where have you been all my life!? (I like this show even better now.)

There were a satisfactory number of butts in the first episode of that hockey show. 🍑

Where I'm from we call this the scientific process. #OuterWilds

Me: A movie longer than 2.5 hours isn't worth it. Also me: This 5+ hour episode of the @minnmax.com podcast is one of my most anticipated media of the year.

Crocheted Santa Kirby and he's perfect. I love him. Just in time for Kirbsmas! [Pattern by me.]

Finishing up Santa Kirby this morning, then wrapping up the base game of Outer Wilds before jumping into the DLC!? A productive morning awaits! (Also I love this video game.) twitch.tv/rettoto

Been streaming #OuterWilds recently and this clip just about sums up my entire experience with the game. (No spoilers.) Btw it's amazing and you should all play it and you should know absolutely nothing about it when you do. www.twitch.tv/rettoto/clip...

Genuinely SO heartbroken that Larian is using GenAI shit in their games. I don't give a damn if it'll be in the final game! I don't give a damn if you're "not trimming teams to replace them with AI" you are deliberately not paying a person whose job it is to do stuff like concept art!?!?! AHGHHDVWJH

I literally don't want to play a game that used GenAI in ANY part of its development process. Generated an email to send to your employees about their holiday leave? Straight to jail. Generated a flyer for the company barbecue? Straight to jail. Generated 'placeholder' anything. STRAIGHT TO JAIL.

Can't believe I'll never be able to look at Miss Piggy again without thinking Geoff Keighley fucked Miss Piggy in Bora Bora.

The S in Leon S Kennedy stands for Scrumdiddlyumtuous btw

Did y'all know that I'm a queer, independent crochet artist who develops and writes his own patterns? And takes commissions? You can check out my premade & made-to-order crochet goodies, as well as my patterns, here: ko-fi.com/rettoto/shop

I just spit out my water.

A snow day well spent. 100%'d the best video game I've ever played.

Pharloom's safe and the family's all together for Thanksgiving.

Crocheting something for myself (this rarely happens). A rainbow pullover of my own creation. Hopefully I finish before the warm weather returns!

Klen Goes on Front Page!!! We're going live on the front page today, showcasing the makers and crafting community through crochet! We will be working on the community project cardigan! Klensy is now live on Twitch! You can find him and his shenanigans with yarn at www.twitch.tv/klensyh

If you’re a crocheter and love Hollow Knight (or know someone who does), can I introduce you to two of my crochet patterns for the Knight from Hollow Knight: ko-fi.com/s/f9177400c8 Hornet from Silksong: ko-fi.com/s/735cc0601d Support an independent, queer crochet artist. 💖 Reposts appreciated.

Don’t take my word for it - see the testimonials. Come hang out anytime at twitch.tv/rettoto

Everything Kirsty creates is magnificent!

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Beat the final boss of Silksong Act 3 and rolled credits a second time. This is truly the greatest game I’ve ever played. And the credits are so short, because so few people created this masterpiece!? It’s just incredible on every level. Excuse me while I emotionally recover from that ending.

Crocheted all the BT21 characters for a friend (on commission). What a fun and fulfilling project. I learned so much and I’m ready to take that knowledge and improve all the cool stuff I make from here on out!

500 is certainly a number.

I’m a little late to the party, but, Weapons (film, 2025), huh. What a romp. Loved it the whole time, but especially those last 10 mins.

btw, I'm setting aside all of my November income from Playdate sales and Twitch to donate to www.communityfoodclubgr.org, an organization providing food security to the Grand Rapids MI area. If you stop by my channel or purchase XTRIS, you'll be supporting food for families losing access to SNAP

Today’s fitty vibes are off the charts 💕

What an incredibly surreal thing to see in my timeline because Ashley is my favorite streamer AND I MADE HER THAT CARDIGAN!!! 🥹 (And also what the hell is this photoshop?? I need context. Or maybe I don’t. Perhaps it’s better if I don’t.)

So proud of these women! Literally my favorite podcast out right now.

Listening to the new @pewpewbang.bsky.social as a person named Chris and I feel very attacked @haleyfax.bsky.social - not from Nova Scotia, but still. 😆

The fashion in this game is truly top notch. I want this outfit immediately.

Me beating a boss in Silksong on my third attempt: Awwww but that was so cool I’m sad I beat it so quickly.

highlight of my professional game dev career

Our FIRST-EVER #GDQueer schedule is OUT NOW!! 🌈🎉 Congratulations to our amazing runners, and a tremendous "thank you" to anyone and everyone who submitted a run for this brand-new event!! gamesdonequick.com/schedule/61

Hi! We’re live and playing some Silksong and then moving over to Final Fantasy Tactics! Yay! Twitch.tv/lerichardgames

2nd Sherma is crocheted, ready to find his forever home. The pattern is ready to be tested. Things are progressing nicely. But I have at least three more people who want one so I have some crocheting to do, for sure. 😅 Also, I finally did the Sherma quest last night and nearly cried. Incredible.

The wonderfully talented @gasterkei.bsky.social brought my vision to life and this will be the Autumn sticker of the season! Starting sometime in October, if you’re subscribed to my twitch channel I’ll send you this sticker, no additional cost to you. Come join the Goober Gang! twitch.tv/rettoto

With Season 2 of The Big Gay Book Club coming to a close, we’ve released our yearly ~superlatives~ episode. Think of it as the Academy Awards of gay books, but a lot more fun. We read so many books this past year and we can’t wait to see what’s next. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
