watching Doctor Who

:( i love databases

the only countries that have date formats right are the like five who do YYYY MM DD

shout out to rowan for immediately noting it's crazy not to name friends at the table as a core show in the development of actual play as a medium

coming out of yet another therapy session about whether it's possible that my feelings are related to being inherently evil rather than my parents not being particularly nice to me, getting this result, nodding sagely & wisely & knowingly

haha yaaay #MyStack is officially taller than my house 😌

sitting with some feelings & being forced to recognise that one of the reasons my anxiety is peaking is because a couple of good things have happened, which i am considerably more psychically vulnerable to than when bad things happen,

hoohoo!!! toronto friends get this in your cal.......... i get compliments on the mask chain i got from jupiter literally allllllllll the time

ERGONOMICS WIN: this old man baby bear has dragged a pillow over for greater core support while doing the vital work of in the way of the fridge door

i can't say i usually get piloting the animal stuff stuck in my head out of nowhere but this one leapt to mind completely unbidden today & has been INNN there youtu.be/ShOOMlmDyIE?...

thinking mournfully abt when certain pop stars sometimes wrote songs that were worth turning to in times of angst youtu.be/mIcsXA_kzoE?...

😭 listening to an episode of friends at the table from a couple months ago & just heard the invention of "gato bee" brand canned coffee with a cat in a bee costume logo & HE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fat bear week eternal

dust mote

anyway i showed a lot of restraint but yes it was finally time in my playthrough for me to talk at length how i think it's weird that sci-fi shows are constantly showing funerary services that involve just like throwing people out the airlock or even incinerating them with the engines

lmfao thanks rss dot com, i'll put it on the fridge,

it's really funny whenever i think abt masks prep i have to consciously go against many of my instincts bc really to interact with the systems you wanna be throwing adults into the mix to push the PCs' stats around right but my first response to Make A Grownup Who Will Tell You What To Do is NO!!!!!

it is........ frustrating to see responses to this article that stop at "cool fossil fuel propaganda" with evidently no consideration that the meat & dairy industries also have long-standing incredibly active propaganda campaigns? i might suggest reading the article for some examples,

shut up . of course that's a word. for the poems shakespeare wrote

being observed by the whole crew

this video is actually really exciting!! the branding preview in the thumbnail filled me with some dread bc that's usually A Harbinger, but the dedicated section about the new logo has a pleasantly neutral tone lol. the new grouping & sync & split tools especially look GREAT

i've been pondering idly for days & genuinely cannot think of a single GMless game that isn't also diceless. i am not doing discourse; i am asking for game recommendations. i love having dice & i love having GMlessness & i bet i would love to have both at the same time

happy bandcamp friday! this year i took my music off of streaming because i didn't want to deal with distrokid (owned by spotify) or spotify (is spotify) anymore. it would make me very happy if you chose to buy it or even just listen to it on bandcamp because it's good stuff

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

trying to get back to doing a bunch of puzzmo puzzles in the morning as i'm waking up instead of stripmining the rest of the internet before 11 am & oh boy oh wow it is better when i can keep it up

the thing is that triangle agency is good. like when you read it & play it? it's good. ykwim? i'd feel insane talking about it as much as i think abt it bc my life just naturally includes a lot more triangle agency right now due to obviously but the thing is that it's really good to play & to read.

i luvvvvvvvv getting into business drag to email people with capitals at the beginnings of my sentences & whatever when theyve already seen how i type in real life

digging through the tumblr archives. i have a thousand questions about why i was thinking about this at this moment. every other post this day is just talking about how agents of shield was a mess & that i liked going to my dad's place because he bought better toilet paper than me

consistency is not my strong suit for many reasons that are both in & out of my control but let's see what we can do here

gotta have two sets of pajamas on the go bc my stupid cat who loves me will sleep on them & i don't want to disturb him when i'm going comfy mode

someone send me an october prompt list to do something with i don't know what yet

at like 1 am i spat out ~500 words of venting abt my super cool fun experience with long covid wrecking my ability to write songs if you wanna have a nice posi time reading something

when i try to write a song & end up crying in an exhausted ball of pain it does occur to me it's a bit bizarre that as a society we've decided everyone repeatedly getting the viral infection that wrenched my brain in half is better than trying to do literally anything to stop it but oh well

ideally basically society would be like i sit at my desk making cool spreadsheets for people & everyone comes by to bring me food so i remember my body exists & they touch my back & shoulders lovingly then leave & sometimes when they wake up there's fresh scones because i went baking-insane at 3 am

my average session time going into q4 is literally looking so beautiful. games can be SO game-lengthed. i do think i need one marathon all-dayer before the end of the year if i can make it happen but this is beautiful

me when i take really good session notes

i saw a parenthetical so beautiful i started crying?

the FUNNIEST little big man

i think i mostly forgot to leave the house or talk to anyone in september & i'm gonna try to fix that for october because after that we're into the thirteen months of winter where those things get much harder to do

VOID_SHIFT is out (digitally)! It's a solo deckbuilder that takes like, I don't know, half an hourish to roll through a job. 30 cards to assemble a 15 card deck, 6 job cards that comprise what you're doing. binary-star-games.itch.io/void-shift

i hate fomo rewards on crowdfunders because they work as intended on me which makes me so annoyed that i don't want the thing anymore except i do still want it bc i want it & that basically goes in circles forever until i've tired myself out too much to back the crowdfunder so i don't

This month's patreon tokens are up and they are human villager NPC's! I would love to someday draw a set of city street builder tiles to go with these, but maps are so much more work... i need more hours in the day 🥲 #roll20 #vtt #ttrpg #isometric www.patreon.com/c/novemberru...

have long thought my personal use case for a VR headset would be almost entirely to replicate the theatre experience & trying out a borrowed one tonight did not result in me playing any particular game for more than ten minutes but i did watch the entirety of shock treatment for the billionth time

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky. So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons! Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

utterly bizarre experience where i thought youtube was recommending me a video essay that looked interesting & it turned out to be a recorded lecture with 40 views from a therapist with 50 subscribers clearly meant only for other therapists

the thing abt bluesky is that i think by design it reinforces some of the worst social media compulsions. like i was training myself out of a hypervigilance response of giving absurd amounts of context for Everything I Say Just In Case It Breaks Containment. but that's literally how this site works

i wish all of my games could be on my steam deck

i think a lot of men in ttrpgs could stand to be more embarrassed by how few women they work with

returned to hades one bc i'm feeling the ache of having 48/49 of its steam achievements & i think it's nice how zagreus sounds like he's talking to me when he mentions satyrs

i overwhelmed myself with too many library books & stopped reading again!! i was back on track & keeping it reasonable for a couple months there but i slid back into it....... library too good for me to stay away.........
