There may not be a more iconic character in fantasy—and particularly sword and sorcery—fiction than Conan the Barbarian. And for that, we can thank Robert E. Howard.

Just saw this article on Polygon, and was like: "this looks a lot like @evlynmoreau.bsky.social art style!"
And it indeed is: congrats Evlyn ❤️

That is just plain ridiculous. R-rating Balatro, a contender for GOTY 2024, shows how much PEGI is clueless.
Talked with PEGI and they do not see anything wrong Balatro being rated 18+, nor with EA sports FC (and similar games) having a 3+ rating
Blaming EU laws, blaming storefronts, waiting for the future. Sitting on their hands
I thought some good might come of this, this sucks

As this place gets busier, I highly recommend the following Feeds: OnlyPosts (filters out reposts), Quiet Posters (highlights posts+replies from your follows that don’t get much likes etc) , and The ‘Gram (posts from your follows that feature images, great for following artists and pet pictures).

J’ai vraiment un soucis de poule vs œuf sur ce réseau. Meme si mon audience est rachitique sur le réseau de Elmo depuis les nouveaux algo, ici c’est proche de 0 😅
Mais comment construire ici sans poster ?
Va falloir s’y mettre, quitte à parler dans le vide quelques semaines 💪🏼

Le TDAH c’est aussi s’obséder sur une idée, ici l’achat d’un VAE, visiter la page du produit tous les jours, vérifier les stocks, lire des avis, se torturer l’esprit sur sa réelle utilité, hésiter comme si on s’apprêtait à faire un investissement sur 40 ans. La paralysie face aux choix simples.

I’ve been playing less and less video games lately, I can’t invest and focus for hours on games like I used too.
Instead I play bite-sized games, like card games and roguelites…
Is it age? Or my ADHD getting worse?
