Let the games begin!

Wheeee!

Thanks to the spectacular efforts of @maxwellalbritten.bsky.social, now I've got my very first main with me even when I venture out to other fighting games. Manon's looking great! Shout-out also to @yalc321.bsky.social for running this gift exchange for DB crafters!

Had my first-ever crusade match this past Sunday. Didn't pull off the win, but I only lost by 10 points despite getting tabled. #warhammer40k #crusade

Crusade group is starting a new campaign soon, likely Pariah Nexus from the looks of things, and i need help breaking the mental stalemate of who to play. The shortlist is Thousand Sons or Drukhari. #warhammer40k

I've never enjoyed fighting Dhalsim before, but this set in the ranked queue last night was the most fun I've ever had in SF6. I lost the set (hell, they Perfect'd me in the last round) but I had a blast and in the moment some stuff just fundamentally clicked in place. You're rad, random Dhalsim!

Fired up SF6 last night and on a whim gave Kimberly a real go...I really like her. I've been on Manon the last 2 years and as much as I love farming command grabs, Kimmie has felt a lot more natural, and most importantly, fun. #FGC

I rarely do projectsthat involve a lot of sewing because I find the process tedious & fiddly. But watching all the bits come together feels nearly satisfying enough to make up for it. #crochet #fiberarts

If you can, put art on your walls. It doesn’t matter what it is, just make sure whatever it is makes you looks twice, stare, smile, think…

That's...That's a lot of timbits. Good job, Desert Bus. My favorite week of the year was, as always, Wonderful. #DB2025

Look at all that fire! One Million Dollars baby! #DB2025

In the midst of getting frustrated at Dayne St. Clair's antics and my team's apparent inability to not bounce PK's off the frame, I finished writing a Locked Tomb oneshot yesterday. It's now up on ao3 if anyone happens to feel like taking a look. archiveofourown.org/works/73935216

Locked in for Match 3 🫡

Wonderwall is a good song, it made for a great reoccurring gag at Desert Bus last year, but by Tzeentch I do NOT want to hear the Minnesota fans singing it 2 hours from now.

Today is a day of Soccer & hobbies for me. A couple UK matches this morning and then 3 MLS playoff match-ups later. Looking forward to getting some crochet and writing done while the action happens on the various fields.

Its almost time...

Spent my evening playing a World of Darkness mod for Crusader Kings, wherein I played an Angel of Death-turned Lust demon and conquered half of Russia while under the domain of Baba Yaga.

Fun times. Might try playing as one of the fae rulers next.

Craft-Along part 2 is officially finished! All thats left is to send them off and tune in to #DesertBus2025

A vaguely lizard-like plush figure crocheted out of green yarn. Be hind it is an article that looks like a beige coat with a high collar.

Two weeks later and the weird green peanut now has arms, a tail, and most of a cloak! This year's craft-along is taking a bit more time than previous entries, but it's on track. #DesertBus2025

Craftalong update! With the first little dude finished, the second is now underway. Here's the current state. #DesertBus2025

I've been terrible at doing my typical updates for #DesertBus2025 craft along, but half the project is complete.

The @mlspa.bsky.social has put out this statement about the shirts players are wearing during pregame.

Acceptance email for the Craft-Along came in. We're officially on the road to @desertbus.org 2025!
