Opinions are mine.
Despite everything, another successful #SakuraCon for the #fabtcg Learn To Play team! 🎉

Now to write a bunch of recommendations so this dream team of FaB L2P judges can get their advanced certification.

I was pretty low-energy today but we made it!! 🌸

The TCG room at #SakuraCon is OPEN again after all of Arch had to be evacuated due to a fire across the street. But Flesh & Blood #fabtcg Learn to Play IS OPEN as is #Digimon.

Room 618-620 in the Arch Building

Everything is #FREE & gives you tickets you can use to win prizes like this #Snorlax!

One of the grand prizes for the #SakuraCon TCG room is this #fabtcg World Championship Gift Bag, donated by Wes & I. One lucky Flesh & Blood player is guaranteed to take this home! Just come play—you can get more than one chance to win the more you play!

Getting set-up to welcome new players to Rathe at #SakuraCon tomorrow! My wonderful @wes-z.bsky.social is volunteering with me this year. 💜 We’ve got drafts (including a newbie booster draft), we’ve got blitz pre-constructed, & Learn To Play all day! 🎉

See how nice it is to just list the real monetary price of #DLC alongside the game currency price?

This is a screenshot of the #Minecraft Marketplace. (You even essentially get free Minecoins.) If Minecraft can do it with its engine, any game can do it.

If a game doesn’t do it, question why.

For my #Memphis folks: stay safe! Already a nasty-looking squall line is forming.

Today is my love on Mojang day, no joke or fools. I’m so incredibly proud of everyone there!! 💜

PAUSE IS BACK in #Minecraft Bedrock!! 🎊🎉

This is a huge, positive quality of life feature that is finally returning after 8 or 9 years? It broke & it wasn’t an easy fix. THANK YOU, BEDROCK TEAM! 💜

For my #Seattle & #Portland friends: be aware that we have an elevated risk for severe weather today, including potential for tornadoes.

Remember if there’s a tornado warning to go to an interior room without windows on the lowest floor. Bathrooms are great. Cover your head or wear a helmet.

I’m autistic & ADHD as fuck, yet somehow I have a 100% score on using alt text. Hmmm…maybe that’s because autism & ADHD doesn’t hinder someone from using alt text. At all. And anyone using that as an excuse is just being willfully ignorant.

I’ve played all the Cooking Mama games & LOVE cooking games. I’m still on chapter 1, haven’t even gotten my hook yet. Little Goro provided me with the insects!
I’ve been training my whole life for this! 😂

LESS THAN 2 HOURS UNTIL PIRATE TIME!
(Yes, I know it’s already playable for folks on Steam.)

By the way, the emoji after my name stands for Pirate Mahjong Illusionist 😂

There was ramen listed on Amazon years ago called Soup for Sluts. It was always out-of-stock sadly.

Wes broke out the fancy peripheral for #RiftOfTheNecroDancer! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO!

Our #evening:

🌘 Cuddled our cutie baby Boxes kitty

OMG HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS FINALLY HAPPENED?!

The #Minecraft theme is in #MicrosoftSôitaire!! 🥹

I tried several times while I was at Mojang to get this to happen. It’s just so perfect! It’s also the meshing of two highlights of my career in gaming.

This means so, so much to me. 💜 🥹

Playing #PirateYakuza in Hawai’i demo & it is AWESOME. Even more excited than I was before & I didn’t think that was possible. Wes loves the naval combat!

When you fail on the very last note on Impossible difficulty… 😭

Neither did Microsoft! Kudos to them both!

Not every search engine. The image below is from Bing Maps. Note it doesn’t have this bullshit.

Say what you will about #Microsoft but I just screenshotted this from #Bing maps. Note they correctly label the Gulf of Mexico.
Also, I can never give up Bing because I love the free Sephora gift cards I get with my Microsoft points.
Oh and all the holidays are still on my Outlook calendar, too.

And a banger from the #LoversStore social media manager. Pun intended. 😂 (Lovers is a LGBTQIA+ friendly sex toy shop in the US.)

Okay, gotta give props to the #Duolingo social media manager as this gave me a chuckle.

Time to get off Bluesky for the day. Am in too much pain from kidney stones, my sassy alters are fronting, & my autistic strong sense of justice is just going to get me into trouble for calling out people.

So here’s a pic of Boxes for #caturday

Just in case anyone needs to send this to Americans who voted 3rd party, voted for Trump, or didn’t vote at all (because they voted for Republirapists by not voting).

It’s time to have difficult conversations & help people understand that these are the consequences of their actions.

My cutie Boxes has been napping on my legs all day. Sharp barometric pressure changes take a toll on her & me.
