- One of the strangest jobs I’ve done was “fire blood cannon from inside a puppet” for a show at the Whitney so just FYI muppet people, if you need a puppet cannoneer I’m available.
- I’m taking an art class this semester! This weeks sketch assignment was to draw a creature based on a designed object (basically diy Pokémon)
- Wishing the miscreant who stole my chicken bowl out of the school freezer a very uneven microwave heating experience >:[
- Well deserved success for an incredible game
- Deltarune: also good. It’s turning out that things people recommend are largely good? idk how to feel about this.
- How is it STILL the same month?? I don’t understand.
- Ok ok you all were right, andor is great
- The best part of brainstorming project ideas is taking wildly different games and making them kiss.
- literally any time i take a break from programming for more than a single minute
- personally i packed an entire narrative arc into the last week things that happened on weds feel like another lifetime, linear time no longer has meaning
- session 1 --> session 3
- Signal boost.
- Immeasurably satisfying to look back at my work from the semester and realize that my first game and last presentation were - coincidentally - about the same thing, right down to the specific mention of brother ant.
- Every time I watch moonstruck I find something new to appreciate it. This time, the plaintive shopgirl at the bakery and olympia dukakis’ sheer range of disgusted expressions. Seeing it with a big crew @boshis.place giggling along made it even better! 🌕
- maybe this is just the monkey's paw delivering on those "precedented times" we were asking for.
- Reposted by finlayBest thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.
- at some point i started saying "missnake" instead of mistake as a bit, but then it stuck, and honestly? it's a lot easier to deal with a missnake than a mistake.
- Waking up to news of illegal us military actions in Venezuela isn’t how I wanted 2026 to start.
- top slot has to go to this perfect 90s slacker time capsule
- "Everything the GM “Gets To” Do is Something the GM Must Do" had me tearing up a bit ngl 🥲 ty for standing up for us overburdened dms who "get to" have all the fun of fleshing out vaguely written scenarios
- According to my records I played 89 different games this year! That # includes board games, video games and RPGs and is probably incomplete. Next year I’m aiming for 100 😎
- well, 1/20 is a start i guess! (it's actually embarrassing that i haven't played consume me yet)
