Wild speculation but I feel like these "con-adjacent" party events that use local cosplayers as their "guest/featured cosplayer" take advantage of younger passionate hobbyists while they profit off ticket sales, then stirs drama & "clout-chasing" with their beauty pageant model

I don't feel comfortable with all these lil snot goblin kids coming in with wet whooping ahh coughs 😭

the only goon slop i want is the slop of cream cheese in my crab rangoons

time to remember the box steps

allergies suffering

god I love reading through comments section and realizing these are the people I share the road with

Wife is watching all the previous magfest community orchestra videos and making a remark on how some people change over time

I love making employers nervous by openly saying "so do we not have MLK day off cause we don't have any black employees but we have Columbus day off?" as a foreign worker's perspective

i fucked around and found out

Imagine investing the world economy in data centers just to get beaten by a girl with a box of pencils.

Went out on an impromptu snow photoshoot adventure with instagr.am/j.aycee.cos cosplaying as Frieren

as much as I hate it, I might need the homophobic corporate ceiling panel light to force myself into productivity.

gazebo photogs stop posing cosplayers by the ledge cause you're making them moon the entire flight of escalators coming up from the atrium level LMAO

SEOUL (AP) — Yonhap agency says independent counsel seeks death sentence for ex-South Korean leader Yoon over martial law imposition.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

time to go play E33 and sing along the entire boss fight

i hate how i get overwhelmed & overstimulated at (bigger) cons

Like 12 years ago my friend sent me this picture from his work and it immediately, permanently changed the name of this utensil in my head. The bytes were fully overwritten. I don’t remember the former name of this item and frankly I don’t care

It is now safe to turn off your #Magfest 😞

standing straight for an hour for the orchestra really took the toll on my back but military training brainwashed me to stay up straight & tight

took off early cause I felt like floating around for no apparent reason so I can get home before dusk

The #MAGFest2026 orchestra is fantastic

In the "other notes" section I basically laid out that I'm a longtime Nitro subscriber, that I find Nitro useful for my work, and that integrating AI means I would have to abandon Nitro and Discord because I can't use it without violating NDAs, and I know plenty of others who will follow suit.

FOUND YA!! @hunj.bsky.social in da Community Choir!

Sound check time!! Get yall to the atrium by 10AM for the orchestra!

Open question: how do tech folks keep track of interesting events and conferences you might want to attend. Back in Web 2.0, Upcoming was great for this. I know @andybaio resurrected it several years ago, but not sure if it’s currently maintained (it seems to only have a Twitter login option […]

MAGFest is for the sickos

Time jump to the secret group we’ve been planning for months. Pikbull Worldwide

The Gluten Free Council will decide your fate.

Come to the community orchestra Saturday at 10 it’s going to be LIT

I see the cygames situation. In this case I think its very good of all players to send feedback. my observations still in japan is that everyone is really naïve about AI where in the US its really gotten to the "everyone are just grifters" stage

magfest shuttle drivers... why do i have to tell you directions 😭 get the fuck off your phone 😭😭😭

what i feel like trying to participate in magfest community orchestra along with actual professional musicians

Don’t know who needs to hear this but stop quitting your job to do artist alley and conventions, there are no benefits or health insurance and it is so unpredictable and the competition is worse than trying to get into Harvard lol

there's "little guys meetup" on sunday at mag so Yata is coming to mag

In short, every shithead you don't ban costs you ten other customers. "A [potentially regular] customer doesn't say anything but never comes back" doesn't register with you as An Event the way that kicking someone out (temporarily or permanently) does, so it's extremely easy to miss it.
