I'm working a medtech conference, specifically cardiology. During the 7 minute presentations I don't have to do anything so I'm reading. I finished 1 book about tea and vampires. I started a Murderbot novella but questioning my reading choices. I can't tell if I'm on point or it's in bad taste.

I'm currently working at a summer camp and my coworkers at camp say my lore keeps evolving because this morning I randomly have an LED staff in my car and I can spin it, my transformation into a mysterious cryptid is continuing. I'm also known for wearing a different animal hat every day.

Do you ever wake up with a word or phrase stuck in your brain because your brain likes the wordfeel of it? My word of the day for you all is sartorial

A good friend set up a weekend of online RPGs for their spouse's birthday but the GM for Sun AM just cancelled.

If you're interested DM me or reply and I'll get you in touch with my friend.

I want to do a game jam, anyone want to collaborate on something, any jams sound interesting to anyone? Open to Ttrpg or video games. Non-ranked is preferred because I want to create for creation's sake. But it would be fun to make something cool with cool people.
Would prefer not to do weekend jams

New hair for GDC! If you're going to be there let me know, I'd love to see you! I'm a CA and I'll be around all week!

I have just come to the realization that I have done more collaboration on video game jams than ttrpg jams. So...anyone want to work together on something cool*?

* Note, I would also be happy to work on video game stuff with people. Because I like making cool things with cool people.

I made a new thing! For the Unlikely Collaborators Jam I worked on Don't Fear the Reaper as a game/ level designer, audio Implementation, and backup producer.

We made a 2d dungeon crawler where you play as a Reaper confronting mental aspects. Check it out!

I'm so excited to listen to this episode! One, it's my prompt. Two, my spouse came up with Mr. Buddy Barkles as a nickname for our dog Nori. I thought "that is such a great name, I'll submit it to AMFC because I'd love to see what Aaron and Jeff create." So here's a pic of my Mr. Buddy Barkles.

I miss playing in an actual play. Anyone casting? Especially short term 3-6 sessions or at least fixed length commitments. I'm open to all settings and I love learning new rpg systems. I'd especially love to be a part of a sports anime or magical girl story but also happy to play in almost anything.

For me debugging compilation errors in Unity is like the world's worst game of "Spot the differences" and I hate it.

My spouse said 'Hawkward', I asked what direction is that, up?
He said yes, so then I asked what would you say for down, his answer was 'wormward'. And I feel that it would be cool world building for a fantasy world where bird riding exists. Maybe Spier.

Went ice skating at a Christmas light display event and while skating overhead a dad encouraging his kid (in like the kindest, gentlest voice) saying "It's ok to fall, even Olympians fall sometimes." It was so sweet.

I was busy last week so I wasn't able to post about this, but I received my first contributor copy! It was so cool to see my name listed under Authors! It was such an honor to write martial arts mechanics for such a well known franchise. I know I made some early writer mistakes but I learned a lot.

One classical and one contemporary. I love Holst's Jupiter but I have very strong emotional attachment to this beautiful version of Hikari from Kingdom Hearts youtu.be/tJH-7u4kAyw?...

So I'm in a video game dev class and we're making a Diablo 2 clone of sorts, but I have free reign on the theming. Do I a make a magical girl themed Diablo 2 style game? Do I make a penguin themed D2? Any other ideas that would be fun?

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.

More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

Now.
