I tell a lot of funny stories.

@yugsly.bsky.social Did not have option to marry Inspekta at end -3789/10 otherwise a must play.

Every god was pure joy. All of them. Yes, Inspekta and Huzzle Mug are my favorites and Mitternacht is really close but they are ALL JOY.

Before bed thoughts:

Great God Grove by @limbolanegames.bsky.social is a fun, charming, very well written easy puzzle game that is casually more queer than any game whose central point is being queer.

Maybe after the fiftieth revision that post is accurate.

Level of trust issues: Stop whenever I see someone asleep and watch until I confirm they're breathing.

Damn it, Huzzle Mug, how are you so attractive I've already told Click Clack I want to date Inspekta. How is this game digging up parts of my aesthetic I didn't know I had?

Palworld in VR would be terrifying. Those things are big, and worse, they are big on a human scale rather than giant monsters.

Last night's Space Station 14, Black Pants Legion update: A Harmless Virtual Kobold, proud mascot of Nanotrasen, told them there was a bomb beeping in the middle of the power station, and who planted it. They should have listened.

It’s silly but sometimes I swear I forget that stuff I did a long time ago when I was a different person *still counts*. I don’t have to constantly be coming up with the next big album or whatever to prove I exist. My accomplishments don’t belong to someone else just because time passed.

I make people feel things. Yeah I have my gifts for things like expressions or lighting, but my music, my art, and my writing make people feel things - new things, strong things, singular things no one else makes them feel.

I am, quite simply, one of a kind, and my art changes people. ❤️
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.

I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.

No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at

Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

I just rewatched UHF for the first time in decades. Weird Al understands that what his audience really wants to see is the bad guy not just defeated, but reduced to impotent sobs.

BPL14 report from last night: Again, dishes that force customers to fart had barely begun causing temperature and breathability problems when an electric monster exploded out of my suspiciously gravity-endowed botanist and destroyed the station.

A lot of cyberpunk, a little magic, and as much detective noir as I can stuff into the cracks. It's another chapter of Goblin Jane And The Case Of The Plutonium Kobold, probably for Patreon patrons but I skipped past the 'Who can see?' option so fast I'm not sure

Tonight's Space Station 14 report: I made enchiladas and pea soup. Before the botanists could create the mutated peas filled with a drug that makes people laugh that I was going to put on all the food, a team of space wizard terrorists set off a nuke and blew up the station.

One of the most unexpected things about ADHD meds is how I can identify things as unimportant. I don’t have to worry about dripping detergent on my fingers and try (always unsuccessfully) to stop it. I don’t have to risk spilling groceries in the hope of making one less trip from car to door.

Alien is a very special episode of Blossom. I will not be taking further questions.
Saw is a buddy comedy. I will not be taking further questions.
Predator is a romcom. I will not be taking further questions.

A friend/fan mentioned Vintage Story and, intrigued, I peered at it. From the trailers it's Minecraft But Fuck You.
