It's a community, not a competition!!! :<

there's a ttrpg title in here somewhere

Nazogaku is a weird and wonderful underground convention for experimental puzzle games, and I was so glad to be allowed an insight into this side of the nazo community! There are many other puzzle events both standalone and as part of a larger tabletop convention that are absolutely worth exploring!

Solving secret puzzles at the Japanese mystery school Alanna Yeo talks nazo, design cultures, and her unique ARG-style experience at Nazogaku.

Alanna Yeo spoke to Rascal about Nazogaku, a celebration of Japan's puzzle-like games that take advantage of real-life spaces.

This year's "Final Last Nazogaku" pitted a censorious organizing committee against a grassroots resistance of mystery lovers.

business planning (read: brain dumping) to the sounds of nujabes and clickclacking of my mech keyboard, while surrounded by books. life is really good.

Hope you get to soon!! I haven't seen any spoilers here on bsky yet...

Yeah! If you're a K-pop fan, you'll understand a lot of the loving references to kpop fan culture and Korean traditional culture. Plenty of parts worth replaying, especially the songs! Enjoyyyy! Make a movie night of it!

I am back for a hot minute to yell about KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix! Incredible animation, catchy songs, and immensely likeable characters. The ending was rushed a little but that just gives more opportunities for a sequel to close the open story threads. I am definitely stanning the Saja Boys!!

<3 hehe. Did you manage to solve everything yet? DM if you need a hint!

Whiteboard with writing on it that says "librarian recommendation: elements of style"

My nerdy (?) recommendation at the library today. The last chapter of this little book had a big impact on my writing style for sure!

'sup bsky, what's going onnnnn

(i know, haven't been on here much recently; tbh i'm social media-ed out!)

niceeeeeeee

he definitely was not hitting on me, but I'm just saying that if he WERE, it would have WORKED.

met someone new at the community library and kinda hit it off; he recommended a book to me later and I tried to borrow it from Libby but it was a waiting list 11 weeks long. 💀 So I told him, and not 2 weeks later, he sneaks the very same book on my shelf and texts me that he left me a surprise.

The infamous neba-neba appetiser!

>:(!!! Can't eat together anymore!

Say no to niamniam foods! I'm with Jeannie on this!!
