If you're in the path of the winter storm, fully charge all of your devices now. Charge any battery banks you might have.

🎲TODAY🎲 It's the premier of A Time Adrift: a #FFXIV #TTRPG set in the Black Rose timeline! We've been rolling out lore videos & character intros, but the 1st episode of the campaign releases in a matter of hours. A new unending journey begins 👉 youtube.com/@ATimeAdrift 🕛 10amPT/12CT/1ET/7pmCEST

Also I didn’t know villagers could sing along to the radio! Go Truffles! (also sorry for putting my espresso machine in front of your poster, no hard feelings I hope) Anyway, yes, I am enjoying the update

Lol No I don’t have a hoarding problem in Animal Crossing, why do you ask #acnh

And that’s a wrap on Mother 3 and the entire trilogy. Wow. I’m gonna be processing the ending for a long time.

Someone on my feed mentioned Pokemon Go, so I logged in for the first time in over a year (with some difficulty since the process changed) And uhh, cool, I guess I gained 17 levels. 41 to 58. Probably won’t play much still. I got massively burnt out.

Now that I’m on the verge of finishing Mother 3, I have to admit I didn’t realize it was so short. My save file has 11 hours on it and I just started Chapter 7. Another game that finally just clicked for me. I still had problems getting through Chapter 3, though.

I love seeing all of the WoL-parents on my feed. It does kind of make me wish I hadn’t made it canon for Malvus that he’s an orphan ;-; I mean, he kind of is and kind of isn’t. Like a lot of WoL lore it’s complicated.

Been rewatching Golden Girls. Grew up with the dub, it's crazy how different the sub is.

Please get your flu shot if you haven't yet! It's not too late!

SUPPORT YOUR FRIENDS. IT WILL ALWAYS MATTER. Something as simple as a like, a comment starting conversation about a subject they love or posted about, a repost on their content or a sub to their twitch/youtube accounts could & does mean the world to people. It costs $0. Do it.

LRT: the author of that article is a hyperconservative who’s on Texas’s board of education and testified in favor of Ohio adopting a far right curriculum called American Birthright for their social studies. Don’t give them oxygen.

Don't give clicks to the National Review for the stupid "hire professors by SAT scores" article. It is so completely ignorant that it is transparently clickbait.

No, I won't accept your framing by rejecting it. I won't even acknowledge you. The plagiarism machine that is regularly factually errant, and that poisons the environment, and that ultimately serves the worst corporate masters imaginable, is beneath my contempt. I'm going to make breakfast.

Not doing it. Feeling like I have to be perfect. Not publicizing anything I write out of sensitivity toward self-promotion. I worry so much about doing too much of that and end up not doing any at all.

I want to find people who also love Dragon Quest games and art !!! Please let this post reach a bunch of slimes 🥹 My name is tsune and I'm an artist! I want to draw more dragon quest fanarts and other animes that I really like! I hope we can be moots #DragonQuest #ドラゴンクエスト

I’ve experienced many times, especially with old RPGs that I first experienced via emulator, that it takes a while for a game to click. Mother 1 (Earthbound Beginnings) is finally starting to do that. I think I’m going to finish it this time. Definitely having a lot of fun.

Greed is a sickness. It's not rational behaviour.

Melanie Stinnett introduced a total abortion ban bill after it was legalized last year. Her own state district voted for abortion rights. She ducked hard votes this year because her party told her too in order to run for this seat. Betsy is who we deserve. secure.actblue.com/donate/fogle...

Your time would be better served ruminating on what we are saying, admitting AI is a profound mistake, and figuring out how to atone for it going forward in your "work." Your Plagiarism Button has made our jobs infinitely harder and we are disgusted with everything your industry has foisted on us.

Nintendo Music has definitely been worth it for me as a VGM aficionado. Their drip method of weekly releases means there are some weird omissions that hopefully they can fix soon - no Super Metroid, no Link’s Awakening (GB or Switch) no Animal Crossing (GameCube) But they have FDS variants!

I don’t have a Spotify Wrapped this year because of the ICE shit, but here’s a few excerpts from Nintendo Music’s review! I spent just under 7 hours on it this year, which is less than I expected, but it was quality listening.

Celebrating another year of intentionally failing Whamageddon because it’s always felt mean-spirited to me and I also legit like the song. I followed it up with Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, which has always put a smile on my face.

Just a daily reminder, don’t forget to check in on your friends that have been quiet recently, because I’ll tell you what a “how are you” or a “are you okay” honestly goes a long way in my book, even checking in if you have already messaged them for the day. It really does mean a lot 💛

FF6. Celes on the Floating Continent. One of my favorite scenes in a video game. Honorable mention to RPG sequences where music plays uninterrupted over battles for dramatic effect, like Zanarkand in FFX or Ocean Palace in Chrono Trigger.

I’m very pleased with DQ1-2 HD Remake so far. DQ1 feels like a fresh new game with the new story beats and sets of characters. Definitely a more lived-in world and with more connections to both DQ3 and DQ2. I also got to spend 3 hours fighting in a dog suit. And there are so many cats to pet

*sighs* Cashew chicken (the sigh doesn't count)

I respectfully* submit: If you manage to become a “disaffected democrat” based on a thing that happens 10 times on half a million student-athletes, you weren’t much of a democrat to begin with.

Meet these four WoLs and more during One Minute WoLs at #GatewayFATE on Saturday at 1pm! Advance signups are now closed (gotta drive to the con!) but there will be time for on the spot introductions as well! Attend the panel and you'll have one minute to tell the story of your WoL! See you there!

I expect a lot of Kefka's laugh and Lavos' scream, which are both iconic, but I have to give special shoutout to Rimsala, the final boss of Arcana (SNES) and her laugh whenever she does a physical attack. Couldn't find a picture I liked but great boss design too.

if you know a single soul in… • the Kansas City metro area • the St. Louis metro area • the Indianapolis metro area • the Nashville metro area @ekkoastral.bsky.social is playing a few impromptu shows on our way back to DC tomorrow thru friday our last shows of the year!!!! linktr.ee/ekkoastral

Since you've voluntarily invited a boycott, you get one. A thread 🧵 about investors in Bluesky, who would love to hear your feedback by phone, snail mail, or email.

FF6 Celes🌹セリス　 （Drawn in 2024）

I bought my Dreamcast used in 2001 (bad timing, I know) with Sonic Adventure, which I finished, and Blue Stinger, which I did not. It became a fighting game and RPG machine for me with Soul Calibur, MvC2, Grandia II, and my second favorite game of all time, Skies of Arcadia. I miss it.

Hey, if you are at all sensitive to discussion of suicide and descriptions of methods for self-harm I'd recommend avoiding reading the ChatGPT legal brief going around, maybe be careful reposting that also! It is that bad and there needs to be serious consequences for ChatGPT from it

I have reached over stage 50 in regular-fire Galaga and 200+ in rapid fire, but for the first 2 years I can remember being around arcade games the dive-bombing noises scared the hell out of me. (1/2)

Call your House reps and senators. I don't care what shade of blue or red they are. Name KOSA, SCREEN, IODA, and state-level ID legislation in general and WARN. THEM. OFF.

Even if you're not feeling down about yourself, asking for attention is no crime. I love receiving praise. I love hyping up my friends. Because our brains are wired to focus on threats, negative comments land a bigger punch than compliments. We need lots of the good stuff to outweigh the bad.

I think it should be okay for people to say I'M FEELING REALLY DOWN ABOUT MYSELF CAN YOU HELP ME REMEMBER SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT ME without it being seen as a negative. Asking for attention isn't the crime some people insist it is, particularly in a world where we relish tearing others down.

I wish for JK Rowling to be the 13th person at a table and realize with horror that everyone else is waiting for her to leave first.

My dear friend Josh is really struggling right now. Recently, he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer that requires surgery and a long recovery. Then, last night, his beloved Mother passed suddenly. Josh is the best, and anything you can give helps. www.gofundme.com/f/stand-by-j...

#MarioPaint practice 1 of 2 for today. This random red blob took on a familiar shape so I took it in an…odd direction.

As an asexual, there’s really no place for me in a social construct that promotes “getting laid” as the end goal. There’s so much more to the human experience of love, and yes, sex is still a part of it but it’s not remotely close to the first thing for me.

hey, I made a Bitsy game! presenting: TIME TO CLIMB it's a short story about climbing a really tall ladder. check it out here! hit2key.itch.io/time-to-climb

I completed the Adventures of Elliot demo. There are some other things I could go back and do, and probably will. I’m intrigued just enough to play a bit more, but on the fence still as to whether I’d buy it. Good thing I have until 2026 to decide.

It's cute to me how we have a couple of phrases for kiddos advancing in school. There's "rising" as in "rising sophomore," implying a higher ascension toward adulthood And then there's what I was, "incoming," like a torpedo

Asking someone “Why are you so quiet” has never turned an introvert into an extrovert in the history of ever so maybe stop doing that

I've played FF since the first game, love the whole series, and several friends (including a 1.0 veteran) recommended it. The real catalyst was building my own PC back in early 2021 and choosing to start a sub instead of playing any of the other games in my backlog.
