Friends of mine started reading to each other while they were long-distance, and still do it now that they live together. It's a lovely practice and one I hope to share with someone in future

this also extends to most hobbies, frustratingly you can't just enjoy things any more you have to be a shonen protagonist about it and strive for the best or it's somehow a waste of time

BABYMETAL AND BLOODYWOOD IN THREE WEEKS AAAAAA

One weirdly validating part of transitioning how when talking with strangers, I would refer to my partner, and they started to refer to "him". The automatic assumption that I was with a man, stemming from how I fit into their hetero ideas. I mean, they're wrong and I'm gay, but it's interesting!

Today was my birthday! As per a new tradition I've been stealing in recent years: it is required that each of you say one (1) nice thing about me. That's the rule!

I almost never get hiccups But tonight I have them right as I'm trying to go to sleep, and they're so violent that each hiccup is literally making my ears pop. I would like to stop, please.

(it's also So Enjoyable, this is the most fun i've had making something in forever 💙✨ like look at this Gentleman)

I thought I couldn't get a hardback copy Volume 1 of Daughter of the Lilies, @megsyv.bsky.social's amazing comic, from outside the US. But then @anniezard.bsky.social surprised me with this Christmas gift. I need it known that she is an absolutely phenomenal friend and a wonderful person. ;A;

One of my absolute favorite things about this podcast is when everything appears to be going swimmingly, and then Anna busts out the body horror, and I’m just instantly covered in goosebumps. #TTRPG #ActualPlay #JemJammer

pronouncing "trough" to rhyme with "through" and "through" to rhyme with "though" and "though" to rhyme with "enough", for no good reason whatsoever

Sure, I'll jump on the bandwagon. It's actually almost 9am on the 1st here, but I know a lot of you are still on the 31st.

And that's that. Happy new year, everyone 💛

Voice is hoarse and mind is exhausted, but I think that was a GREAT recording session. Jemjammer fans: I hope you enjoy this in about six months when it's released. Yes, I think this is vague enough: look forward to a bit where stars are mentioned.

Anyone here remember seeing an Alan Wake keychain? On one side there's Alan and "Show me the champion of light", and the other's Scratch, with "I'll show you the herald of darkness"? I hoped to give a friend one for Christmas, but I didn't find it anywhere. Was that real? Am I remembering right?

Next time on I Will Fight You (by @lokified.bsky.social)

Hey, I made a thing, and you can see it on our Patreon! There are other behind-the-scenes posts too, like a breakdown of Vulkarus and its size, a detailed look at the Red General battle (with GIFs of the animations the players saw), stats of the hydra, and the entire Well of Infinity battlefield!

I really like this episode. The conversation towards the end with Wyn and Artie telling Jyll what's what is absolutely one of my favourite player conversations in the entire game.

Come for the mini game rules, stay for the tough love

“We have given you all these new features!” You are a means to the end of accessing apps I need. I want the basic functionality that necessary and nothing extraneous that gets in the way of that functionality.

I cannot stress enough that is some rando responds to something you reposted trying to draw you into a “but have you considered” discussion of it, they are not acting in good faith, and you just block. Please, embrace the blue sky way. block. block. block.

Dear Internet Gods, where is the silicone cover I bought for my VR headset?

Sometimes you need to play Dark Souls again, just to feel like you're home.

Public service announcement: @lokified.bsky.social is a very good friend.

Hey, would anyone happen to know somebody capable of identifying complex guitar chords by ear? I recently stumbled upon a cover of a folk song that has some *beautiful* interpretations of the original chords, and I am dying to know what they actually are. youtu.be/iYbXV5eMGsM

This is hilarious because it is both true, and yet I'm quite happy to have just one partner right now, for personal reasons. God I need Ash to hit the dating scene again though, I miss compersion.

I WILL FIGHT YOU - A Knight's Tale Our hosts, with special guest @sparkyupstart.bsky.social, discuss A Knight's Tale (2001) and Tanner proves the fact that while Jock Jams might have destroyed a Victorian child, the Middle Ages would have loved them. crookedrussiancam.squarespace.com/updates/iwfy86

I just watched five noisy miners fight over an insect - there was literally a tugging match - and got video of the victor enjoying their spoils!

Thank you so much! :D I hope you enjoy what happens when Jyll follows up with Antonia~

Jesus fucking christ, I thought Wolfenstein remake was way better than it needed to be, but 2's ending raised the bar a HELL of a lot. Machine Games really told every American to go overthrow their fascist government. youtu.be/Y34KpMXmUPE

My partner Ash took this gorgeous photo of Mel this morning!

its easy peasy, face toward your window, arm out, flip your phone upside-down so you can use your thumb to trigger the shutter button, 3/4ths profile shot from eye level, look into the camera, think about when you were little and your dad got hit in the nuts really comically to get that cheeky smile

Trans folk of all and any kinds - what’s your singular most wtf gender affirming or euphoric thing. Something that you’d never have expected until it happened but dammit it works, so what the hell you’ll take more of it?
