without any spoilers, i just beat the second area boss of hades ii first try AND almost beat the third area boss first try with no death defiances left. they’re calling me the greatest gamer of all time?

bee is mildly concussed & i’ve been working two 20-30 hours/week jobs for the past couple months so this ep is gonna be a little delayed. sorry to the gamefreaks

some insane blue prince runs tonight. do NOT shame me for the location of [REDACTED] i didnt know what the text meant when i drafted it :( (screenshots aren’t actually graphic i just didn’t want to spoil anyone who, like me, has taken too long to play this game)

Absurdia launches in a little less than a month! Is this the week we hit 200 followers? 👀 bit.ly/46upHBR

idk that i ever posted abt this anywhere, but i just updated the itch collection of games that we've covered on @tabletopbookclub.bsky.social, if you're interested in checking out the games we've talked abt over there!

conflict of interest is wet gun if you know what i mean

just had the most cursed tabletop book club recording ever. featuring @vidityavoleti.bsky.social but not in this screenshot

on today, my two years on testosterone, i pass on my wisdom to you: if you start a podcast early in your hrt journey, it becomes a fun voice update time capsule for as long as you continue doing the podcast

pax:u panel pitch period was way too short this year omg. i totally missed it 😭

the beautiful thing about working at the renaissance faire is that two of my coworkers were gone from training today because they're at gencon, and i was wearing my triangle agency shirt

blue prince is the kind of game that i can *feel* running circles around me. there are things happening in this game that i know i’m missing but i don’t know what they are. it’s awesome

continuing my pattern of playing games after everyone else has already spent their time with them: i'm finally playing blue prince. it's really good guys

shoutout to me running the zoom call for this ep from my phone bc my wifi decided to go out the day we recorded. still a very fun episode for a very good game with a very wonderful guest!

this episode was so fun to record & edit. @brianflaherty.bsky.social has brilliant insights into games (this one & many others!) & also tells some really great stories in this one. such a joy to have him on the show!

Can we hit the 100 follower mark today? 👀 bit.ly/46upHBR

being so serious when i say my sister might be a better podcaster than me. she’s very smart and funny and also REALLY into smosh. but in a way that she has great insights. give it a listen :]

can’t post most of the stuff i’ve been drawing lately cuz it’s for someone’s else game but i CAN post these drawings of tommy bowe #smosh

Burnout is clinically understood as a combo of 6 factors—work overload, lack of control, insufficient rewards, breakdown in community, absence of fairness, & value conflicts—and only a fraction of it is under your control. Burnout is a systemic problem, so be kind to yourself and hard on the system.

Everytime one of these "protect women and girls" orgs go viral for doing something evil I like to take a look through their "wins" and see if they've ever helped protect even one single living woman or girl. Collective Shout has:

we need fucked up and freaky art now more than ever

There is no acceptable sacrificial lamb to appease purity culture. Whatever weird little pervert you are personally icked by should not be collateral damage in a discussion where, essentially, banks are vying to be the arbiters of morality so they can decide whose dirty evil money they get to pocket

Create NSFW art Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like Always resist oppression

the world of adult games on itch is mostly one of independent fundraising to support niche interest and amateur artists honing their craft through work they're excited to make. It's joyful sharing of interests via feelings forbidden in casual public discourse. it's obviously a force for good

can i have a turn on the “compliment me” meme

What’s that, friend? I think I hear a train on the horizon, pulling up on the road to Hell…

been having a weird “i’m not doing enough” thing lately (chalk it up to the post-grad crisis?) & i can’t say that means i’ll actually be doing more soon (i start a second job next month) but i will say i need to take myself my the shoulders and go “dude. you do a lot of shit” lol

i don't think anyone answered viditya's question. yes it is

Wow is that a live @manysidedmedia.bsky.social's Talk of the Table recording??? at @20sidedstore.bsky.social?? with @calebzane.bsky.social & @seanireland.bsky.social ????

reread Rom Com Drama Bomb this morning since i'll be talking to @moreblueberries.bsky.social and @brianflaherty.bsky.social at twenty sided store tonight and it's such an incredible 3 player game. 90 minutes to play and much less than that to read the rules!! get in there and get laughing
