I have created a starter pack for neurodivergent content-creators! If you would like to be added, reply to this post or send me a DM :) Alternatively, if you don't want to be in this list, let me know.

I use Obsidian to about .1% of its potential and it's still incredibly useful to me. I can't imagine what you can do if you know wtf you're doing
Obsidian 1.10 is now available! The mobile app now launches A LOT faster.

We've also made many improvements to Bases with new list views, map views, groups, summaries, and APIs to create your own views.

Can report the same here. My sub count has also dropped significantly, suddenly.
My sub count has also drastically dropped over the last couple of weeks, currently sitting at the lowest it's been since 2018 (!), and between this post from PJ and Twitch just being completely moronic in recent memory I simply refuse to believe it's a coincidence.
My sub count has been steady for 6 years or so, and I've magically lost 100 in the past 3-4 days. Several more are reporting issues with payment processors not taking their cards now. Again, please recheck your subs to see if they're still active and not automatically cancelling.

Same thing has been happening to me. I've had an unusual number of dropoffs and have been telling people if they do not mean to discontinue their subs with me to check their sub tab.

Did another writing exercise tonight. This one didn't spin out of control, though I definitely spent longer than an hour on it and probably hit about 900-1k words?

Either way, I hate writing in second-person, present tense. Had to go back and catch myself every time I went into past tense. 🫠

Hey I was on games committee for this. If you submitted a run, how dare you, because you made our job super difficult. So many good submissions had to get cut for time. Shout outs to everyone that did submit tho - if you didn’t get in, keep at it. Hoping it’ll happen for you next time ❤️

thank you all so, so much for your submissions. you made the games committee's job very hard (nearly 250 hours of gaming into a 36-hour event???).
if you did not get in it is not because we didn't like you or your run(s). please keep submitting!

we'll see you all at the end of the month <3

Started a writing exercise that was supposed to only be about 30-60 minutes...ended up writing for 3 hours and roughly (I mean roughly counting since this was handwritten) 2700 words?

My hand hurts. I haven't handwritten anything at length in years.

Gonna be on @gamesdonequick.com soon to showcase @ambercyprian.bsky.social hotfix show - Passion Project - showing off a sonic run for each handheld platform (6 runs total!) to give an appetizer for the Sonic Handheld 16 I plan on doing!
November 7, 2025 at 2:35 AM
We're about to have SIX Handheld Sonic platformers run back to back to back by @kirbymastah.bsky.social on Passion Project, and YOU get to choose the first run before the show starts!

Take a look at these beautiful games from Kirby's collection, btw.
