I know I was raised alongside a dog cause my first reaction was "free food from a stranger is a nope" 😅
This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

It has become an annual tradition to make @eikeexner.com’s mulled wine recipe on Thanksgiving. There’s like 3 wine bottles in there for 2 of us 😅 Wish you were here, Eike!

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!

And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

I somehow managed to nick not one but BOTH nipples when shaving this morning and my whole day has been a little miserable because of it.

Husband completed writing the third chapter of his thesis as well as a chapter for a book on electronic literature that he was asked to be a part of. So, we went to celebrate by getting ramen at Daikokuya in Little Tokyo! Much needed break!

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

This game (and 1800) suck my soul away every time. The roman/celt theme makes this one even better!
Playing cooperative Anno 117 with @lyrwar.bsky.social until 4AM 😅 It’s addicting, and our islands are developing and coming along very nicely!

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Amazing how many criminals get together and decide the first order of business is emailing each other about the crimes every three minutes

I guess you could say the heteros got me all upsetero.
I need to play the last 2 eps of Dispatch tonight but learning that there's not even a terrible attempt at a shoe-horned queer romance is... so disappointing.

You can't market a game like this, with a specific lean on queerness, only to make empty promises between episodes, and then backing up.
