I know part of my problem is that I want an app that will do everything I want and none of what I don't. That's not gonna happen, so I switched up to what experience would I enjoy most. #writingcommunity #writesky

It was a good day. After a couple months of digging and comparing, we finally locked in the deal we’ve been waiting on. Feels great to grab the last piece we needed to move on from the Microsoft ecosystem for good. Literally #pCloud for life.

Decision paralysis time. Playing with:
Scrivener
Bibisco
Campfire
Obsidian
Plottr
I need a writing app that handles #worldbuilding and lets me reference it fast while I’m drafting.
If you’ve used any of these (or something I didn’t list), what was your experience?

Respect to the stores finally making food affordable. Seriously.
But don’t act like this is some new discovery.
They always could’ve done it.
They just didn’t care until they realize those same SNAP bennies wouldn't be hitting their cash registers.

Just finished #AliensFireteamElite — solid game. Keeping it installed for Horde mode and higher difficulties.
Definitely feels more World War Z than Left 4 Dead.
If a sequel drops, @pookiengel.bsky.social and I are in.
