Repost if you support trans people and think we're neato

They never cared about "the worst of the worst." Just skin tone. #fuckICE

If anyone needs me, I'll probably be back. At some point. Gotta *finish* this game first. Best 12€ I've spent in a long, long time, incredible work as usual from @blacktabbygames.com. Still gotta find some money to throw at Scarlet Hollow... and some time...

While the lack of respect for education is sobering, I actually found this news from ICE very heartening. If they're offering this much money NOW, in a day and age where workers are underpaid in every way, it means THEY'RE DESPERATE. Keep up the pressure. 😁 #fuckICE

Heads up to anyone considering using music on this site: I make no claims against any particular track or the tracks on this site, but every upload in the last 8 months from Kevin has been generated by Suno. (Everything after Outback Call): www.youtube.com/@incompetech... Check the descriptions.

it just keeps getting more and more bleak it has to be stopped. it HAS to be.

RE: Writing immense emotional damage. I love it when my players give me the okay to proceed and I *still* feel the need to say a content warning in the middle of narration :)

...so, I'm writing stuff for my D&D campaign. I've been gripped with ideas of increasing severity for the past 3 hours. Every single word I write gets more intense, more extreme. I've had to cut back a paragraph because it went past *my own boundaries*. I'm gonna need so many content warnings...

I have *finally* been sent my code for Monster Hunter Wilds. I can *FINALLY* play the game I've been hyped about for the past 4 months! (Once it's installed, ofc)

This. And NFTs, and crypto, and every multi-level marketing scam on the planet

Just happened

New #SleepToken song #Emergence, #EvenInArcadia Album announcement (and a US tour, though that's less relevant for me lmao)... and so, a good week turns great. Upgraded my GPU so now I can play any game, and the day after I get it done, Sleep Token drop a great song... hell yeah.

Hey to the few of you following us! So I can’t in good conscience support a platform ran by an actual N*zi, so here we are! Please help us spread the word that we are here, and stay tuned for updates! :) New music is on the way soon!

My mood is severely improved. Flea markets are fuckin great, I got 4 movies and a game (which isn't sold on digital marketplaces anymore) for like 5€ Also, friend of mine managed to find American Idiot (Green Day, 2004) and blur (blur, 1997) on CD, and graciously let me borrow them to rip them :)

Hot Take: No one should get deported "They came here illegally" Well they outsmarted your border patrol, so they win You set up border patrol as a challenge. They beat your challenge. They deserve the prize The idea of "Illegal immigration" is just being a sore loser

Gonna go insane. Had a job in november, lost that job very shortly after (got sick so missed some of the very few shifts I was assigned) Got told in early december "I'll call back tomorrow about whether you still have the job." Still trying to get them to fucking pay me for the shifts I did.

A friend and I are going insane. Turns out, wanting to learn Pathfinder 2e is not that easy when it's 2 people who are both idiots and don't wanna DM. ...on that note, anyone know websites to find open games to join? (we've already checked roll20 and not found any that fit for us) #TTRPG #PF2e

Yuck Elon, and Yuck Twitter Gold 🤮 It costs around 12K a year…. What a horrible waste of money, Instead of doing that, we are giving $1000 to a different charity each month this year. Starting with Doctors Without Borders!

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

Got my hands on a CD to start off a collection, in the hopes that I might one day be rid of streaming services that hold song quality (and my ears...) hostage. That first album for the collection: Take Me Back To Eden by Sleep Token A worthy start to a collection. #music #SleepToken

Without downloading any new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025

There is damn near nothing good about AI usage at this point and it’s wild how hard it’s being pushed to appease tech weirdos and CEOs. We’ll be struggling to heat and light our houses and apartments while the rich consumes everything they see to become richer out of sheer greed

I decided to listen to every single Linkin Park album released before Chester's death I'm 24 songs deep. I'm not even done with Meteora yet. There's like 5 more albums to go. Why did I decide to do this. On the other hand, this *is* 25 songs of PEAK, and another 5 albums of PEAK to go...

Some time several months ago, I quit Witcher 3, just before the point where you get to Skellige. I've now picked it back up. ...should've picked it back up sooner, this is great.

Still playing Cyberpunk 2077 Got bored of the "screw morality, I want cool stuff" Netrunner build I was doing, and didn't have any more stat resets... so, uh... guess who started another playthrough. But, hey - revolvers and sandevistan are cool. Plus, first time I bring this build to Dogtown!

YouTube has a Recap, it seems. Might as well post some of what mine said. Very happy to find myself in @tbskyen.com's top 1% of viewers. Turns out, most people don't watch two separate 20+ hour series of Video Essays. Very strongly recommend both Boss Designs of DS2 and Bloodborne, though!

Finally had D&D again (and also had some pizza) We *finally* got to start the dungeon I prepped for a solid few months. It went pretty well, I think. Had some slight investigatin', had combat against 6 people with 4 custom statblocks... yeah. Pretty good. Also, set them up for a Fireball... BOOM

Good news about using my bycicle again: I get to get in shape a little bit again Bad news: I fucking fell. Bike is damaged (rear brake, gears), I am damaged (my knees, even more than before), my pants are damaged (knees)... Also, going uphill for any length of time remains a nightmare.

Playing through Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty for the first time. At least, so I thought. Turns out, this is Alien: Isolation. I am scared. I'm supposed to be.

Good news: Everyone had time for D&D for the first time in 3 weeks or so. Bas news: One player had tech issues so we're now an hour late. I don't think we're playing. EVERY FUCKING TIME ARGH

Bought myself a big ol' condenser mic that came with a boom arm, Tonor HC-2030. Pretty good, so far. The arm does it's thing, the mic is perfectly fine... Yeah. This is nice. Just kinda gotta adjust to using different headphones. Previous headset had issues with a proprietary, discontinued cable.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

And now, with a job basically in hand and Phantom Liberty bought, I shall disappear from reality for a bit.

I'm back on my bullshit (playing Cyberpunk 2077) Because, after tomorrow's job interview, I'm grabbing the DLC.

...so, that new Pokémon TCG, right? I may be lucky, sometimes. Friend Code BTW in case someone wants to add me for some reason 8980709447460804

Streamer Awards are taking nominations! I AM CALLIN UPON YOU NERDOS TO HELP ME GET NOMINATED! Throw my Twitch name in there! "AlphenaVT" ! thestreamerawards.com/nominations

Alphe has proceeded to update her GPU drivers live. This, predictably, did not go well. HOWEVER: It was pretty funny

Elite Dangerous progress update: I've got the corvette. I've got the guns. I've got most of the outfitting that cost less than 5 million each. And I've also got 0 money. Exobiology time. Barely two hours (with a lot of wasted time) in, and I've got 70 million. I'm still entirely within the Bubble

I've done it. One of the ultimate achievements of Elite Dangerous. THE time sink. I now proudly own a Federal Corvette.

Update: Did NOT end up DMing a well prepared session. Timezones...

I'm about to DM a D&D session I've been preparing for literally a month and a half. I cannot put into words how fucking excited I am.

Mixing two current obsessions. Listening to the Destiny 2 OST (because holy shit, it's fucking incredible.) while hunting space pirates in Elite Dangerous... Yeah. This is good.
