Hi, new followers! You may know me under other names (none dead but most of them sleeping.) I do online community - I've worked in MMOs, at Metafilter (as restless_nomad) and currently do PA work for SF writers. (DM me for rates!) Stand by for cat pics and rants about the internet. Welcome!

It's convenient for the child rapists who now run EA to claim Veilguard was a massive flop because what they want to do already is eliminate any part of EA that isn't a gambling and sportswashing operation. You don't have to fucking help them.

I deeply resent that my psyche apparently insists on having Spider Dreams every so often. They're not exactly nightmares, they're just dreams that focus on spiders trying to touch me that I really, really don't want touching me.

is this exactly what Cohost wanted to do? Which was a huge regulatory compliance challenge? @rahaeli.bsky.social ?

I hate to suggest that Taylor Swift is overplayed, but two songs out of five - on the same station! - is just a *bit* much for me.

I _really_ enjoyed Larkwood's first two books and have been eagerly awaiting word of a new one. Yay!

The patch notes of Notepad++ always remind me that I am using a Porsche as a golf cart.

Man there must have been some interesting meetings around WoW Forever. It's not WoW 2, but... it kind of has that shape? I'd love to know what the internal expectations are for it.

Book friends! I am a freelance proofreader looking for more work. I have done a bunch of work with Tor, but I will happily also do nonfiction. Are you a publisher or self-pub author who needs a proofreader, or know one? Please DM. (Please boost for visibility, if you don't mind)

I'm sure you'll see this one way or the other, @ceruleancynic.bsky.social...

I am very much enjoying how, in @500songspodcast.bsky.social , both David Bowie and Rod Stewart keep turning up in the narrative extremely minor and _drastically different_ ways.

I have made it through three days of peak prednisone. I am feeling enough better that I do not want someone to bring a bar fight to my bedside. I can go out and look for one myself. I dislike predisone.

I doubt anyone on this app cares, but my LinkedIn account was apparently hacked and I don't care enough to give them my government ID. So, if an apparent Swiss blonde bombshell asks you for money or something via LinkedIn, it is not me.

It is a particular satisfaction to report a bug and later see the bug fixed in a patch.

Hey folks! I'm going to have a little medical downtime in early September (cataract surgery) so I'm taking advantage of that enforced rest to offer 4 writing mentoring sessions at $750/each.

Listening to @500songspodcast.bsky.social, one of the many things I am struck by is the absolutely unreal amount of bigamy going on. I guess recordkeeping was not really up to keeping track of marriages and divorces.

Weirdly, I think I'd be fine at running a Poshmark store. I'd have to do a bunch of pricing research to catch up, though.

"the autodidact enthusiast is sometimes more like a shallow puddle with really deep potholes." I feel called out.

Cheese. Preferably something close to Michael's proprietary cheese sauce but melted whatever will do in a pinch.

Turns out our minisplits have "formicary corrosion" which is an evocative name for what turns out to be a materials issue that our plumbing company, WHO WE DO BUSINESS WITH REGULARLY, could have _mentioned_ at some point in the several years since they realized it was a problem.

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

Asking this again but at 2p local time

"These are not the opinions of the University of California Riverside however, they are the opinions of a highly volatile arachnologist" This was a hell of a fun read

This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone.

I eat hotdogs either naked or with cheese. The virtues of the proper Chicago dog are lost on me.

FOSTER NEEDED! Sweet gray lap-loving kitty guy Parker was struggling to survive on the Baltimore streets, injured and starving. Thanks to a kind person and our Street Kitty Fund, he’s doing much better, but needs a foster home! Help him get a second chance for happiness - contact us!

People look at my sketches and say "hey you're pretty good at that," not realizing that getting to "pretty good" involved art classes through AP Drawing and Painting and literally hundreds of hours of practice. I look mildly talented! I am not talented! I am a highly trained and experienced doodler.

"Live off the rain and the dirt" is one I'm hanging onto, thanks.

Right. Of course. Janelle Monáe can time travel. Incorporating that into my worldview.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

I’m going to wheatpaste this article to telephone poles until everyone reads it

Going Medieval is coming out of Early Access tomorrow with a patch I am _super excited_ about. I really enjoyed the EA version but this looks _fantastic_.

FRIENDS. Registration for 2026 is OPEN! We can’t wait to see you!

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Slay the Spire 2 may be the first game I've bought the day it hit Early Access since something I worked on.

Accountant on one side, for the family junkyard business. The branch that owned it decided they wanted to keep the books in the family and sent him, a cousin, to college for the purpose. Car salesman on the other. Oldsmobiles, iirc. Never met either - they both died quite young of cancer.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

This is a great opportunity to recommend I Am Future, a survival game with this theme. It has a coziness slider!. You just want to potter around and dismantle things and not worry about the evil slugs that eat your lettuce at night? Coziness slider up!

I suppose I should tidy up those three terabyte drives and the seven-year-old nVidia card for sale, shouldn't I.
