Good guide.

Not even just VTubers, I see art moots I knew from Twitter or IG come here and try to use the algorithm-maxxing mindset and techniques that honest-to-god served them well on *those* sites, and (justifyingly) wonder why they don't work here.

TTRPG recommendation (solo): Void 1680 AM from Bannerless Games. You build a playlist, invent and interact with callers, and can even voice a caller for others to use. So cool! Let me know what you think! #ttrpg #playlist bannerlessgames.itch.io/void-1680-am

#StarTrek is 60 this year! As a lifelong fan of the original series, I'm doing an epic read-a-thon with various behind-the-scenes and other titles about the show, published across that 60-year span. Some will be re-reads, and others will be for the first time.

Because I'm insane, that's why.

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

Preschool teacher said our 3yo was standing alone gazing out the window, singing word-for-word “Jack’s Lament,” Jack Skellington’s ballad from Nightmare Before Christmas, while he waited for Mama to pick him up.

Yup, that’s our New York Loney Boy. Most emo theater kid at preschool. Truly, my son.

Will this weekend be the first time I get to try out the powered snow shovel I bought a few years ago? Sure looks like it!

Rewording a post: The episode in which Frasier & Diane attend the Human Brutality Film Festival ("We've missed The Sorrow, but if we hurry we can still catch The Pity") was titled "If Ever I Would Leave You" after the Camelot song. That's the level of cultural knowledge they assumed you shared.
"If you watch an episode of Cheers, you might hear references to foreign filmmakers, to classical musicians, to Russian novelists. The level of assumed knowledge back then was far greater; now, TV is rarely adventurous in its allusions."

#StarTrek Starfleet Academy episode 2 report.

Pretty much the same vibe as the first episode. I'm still enjoying it overall, and my extremely negative first impression of one character in particular has not been contradicted.

I'm torn on the lead character. Lots of potential and well-acted, but...
