A post talking about a magic the gathering card, the pictures aren't loading though. But the Alt text explains it, so you still understand!

This is why Alt Text is helpful even to those who don't "need" it. Because when Bluesky is CHUGGING you can tell what they're talking about without having to wait for the load.

Many of us are socialized that ever being proud of our achievements makes us bad people, or arrogant, or full of ourselves. Well, fuck that. You are AMAZING. You are on the MOTHERFUCKING HUGO BALLOT. Do you know how many people want to wear you like a fucking coat right now?

The world is on fire. Oligarchs are breaking everything, and people are justifiably scared, and being happy about a genre award nomination may feel frivolous or not allowed. But we NEED frivolity to survive all the bad things. Be joyous. You EARNED this.

Okay. Let's take a moment to talk about How To Be A Hugo Nominee And Come Out Of It Happy About the Honor. I realize this is relevant to like, twelve people. I don't care, those twelve people deserve my time. (You may have seen a version of this thread before. I do it every year.)

Me: buys 20+ games in a steam sale.

Also me: goes back to my ps5 and plays one of the 4 Genshin accounts I'm playing right now.

I've been all up in my head for about a week now and I'm anxiously awaiting news that either means nothing or means everything.

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has been patient with me these last couple of weeks.

A slightly fuzzy picture of Thor the dog jammed into my lap and looking up at the camera pleadingly.

The absurdity of having a dog named Thor who is *completely terrified* of thunder.

This is WIP footage, and god it already feels so fun to play this game.

My list:

Mrs Polifax
The Cat Who
Rainbow Brite

It's easier than ever to be visible, and more difficult than ever to get noticed.

"Dispatched"

That oak tree hopper has some confusing perspective going on. XD

One reason I'm making Eldritch 2 is because it's been almost 13 years since I made Eldritch 1 and I *still* crave immersive sim (or stealth/action FPS) roguelikes. There's Prey: Mooncrash, there's Void Bastards... I can't think of much else? If you've got recs for imsim roguelikes, let me know!

Today's Chapter in Tales from the Meatgrinder is super spicy.

Based on the comments - yes!

Still looks super fake. XD

A screenshot from Reddit about a mountain in South America with a weirdly flat top.

If I put this in a level I would get feedback that it looked too unnatural.

Check if you have a local Buy Nothing group. (I use the one on Reddit, but they have them on Facebook too.)

Then post and put like "curb alert" and a bunch of people will come grab it.

"Like grit becoming a pearl."

I like that. That's good stuff.

Open up notepad or a sticky note and just start banging stuff out. All the ideas. No form. Just get it down. Find something that hooks YOU and build around it, like grit becoming a pearl. You don't have to start at the beginning. In fact, don't. Just find that image/emotion in your head and build.

Good job, Junie!

For the first 5 months in this house my "couch table" next to where I sit on the couch was literally just the table in its box. I had the box standing on its side so it was the right height and wide enough to hold what I normally keep on that table. XD

Meat and cheese I think is the only requirement, so 2?

Hubris.

"Nope! That ain't it!"

*laughing hysterically*

"What?"

"It's just hearing what I was thinking coming out of your mouth."

He has such an amazing range and his commitment to <being> the character is just delightful to watch.

$50 gift card which is SUPER exciting for us! XD

(We usually spend like 70-100 every time we go. LOL)

It's like 70% of parenting "do not laugh at the child that just faceplanted." But especially not laughing when they do something bad that's also hilarious.

Y'all I won the record store's record store day raffle!

The policy fallout from the Trump administration’s disregard for Americans and healthcare just hit home for me. A cancer screening I need has gone from a couple hundred bucks to $2,500. This isn’t just policy, it’s people's lives. And yes, I’m furious.

Fuck Donald Trump and this administration
