Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

epiloguegaming.comWhat Do We Do With Jacob Geller? - Epilogue GamingEarlier this week, a friend noticed Jacob Geller’s book, How A Game Lives, sitting amongst my living room shelves. Under almost any other circumstances, this would have been an exciting invitation for...

whenever I watch an anime that I can tell has influences outside of anime, it makes me feel more strongly about how animation is a MEDIUM and not a GENRE and when it is fully behaving as a genre, you have a problem

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

PS. This morning, CBC radio approached us to ask if Jenn would like to speak about the impact of tariffs on small, Canadian business. If you'd like to tune in, we're estimating the show will air around 8am EST tomorrow (Aug 25th). Listen, here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Haven't shared here in a bit but I ended up with two new dolls over the last few months. One is a Resinsoul 1/6 Wei, who I fell in love with because of her dainty fingers and tiny claw like nails. And a Missmian Laila who has been a grail doll since I saw her last December. 1/2

Discworld QOTD, from Pyramids “Broadly, therefore, the three even now lurching across the deserted planks of the Brass Bridge were dead drunk assassins and the men behind them were bent on inserting the significant comma.”

Okay, you guys seem interested in this so I'll just make it live now. Here's why it's probably true that Harry Potter fans convinced a contractor to reroute a power cable, despite a lot of people really wanting it to be false www.patreon.com/rebecca/post...

Best Z Chinese food. A little place next to St Clair station that I discovered too late was absolutely fantastic and incredibly well priced. I ate there a handful of times before it closed, and insult to injury that space has been vacant for nearly a decade - they never filled it after the reno.

Seeing this after posting about finally using a cane this year had me seething with rage. Reading comments elsewhere, with people playing oneupmanship of "my queer coworkers keep getting more and more intense aids, they're competing! It's all a farce!" 1/2

Nick Barlow@nickbwalking.bsky.social

In a move that will surprise absolutely no one who's been paying attention, Stock has decided that women with disabilities are suffering from "social contagion"

Shit like that reminds me of why I hesitated forever on getting a cane. Why I hesitate to use priority boarding or other accessibility aids that can help me, entirely for fear of being judged. The idea that people do this - that *many* people do this for shits and giggles just astounds me.

Replying to @rincewind.run

“sex purge” is obviously a stupid idea and also obviously exactly the kind of stupid idea that is incredibly fun to sit down and think through to its many illogical conclusions and I really don’t understand why they apparently didn’t wouldn’t that be 90% of the fun of the writer’s room?

Zendervai@zendervai.bsky.social

This is one of those rare movies that appears to have no target demographic whatsoever. But yeah, it's *fascinating* how the director seems to be completely unable to sit down and go "why is this" to the point that he seems to actively resent the idea that he should think through his premise.

"These characters are living this little alternative world that could easily happen. We have to talk about it." But also stop talking about it, and what even do you mean "could easily happen" the whole convo is on how insane it would be to try to enforce...

adonis (and cait)@cait.bsky.social

this article is really funny but not in the way the director intended it to be. why do people care so much about the rules of the world that I created, just because it doesn't make any sense? everyone is a prude these days

Well this feels timely.

As we're discussing "disabled enough" again, because our society makes us all second-guess ourselves, last October I took my girlfriend to Disney World. Not a unique occurrence, except that she'd been having medical issues, and was worried about being able to do anything at all to enjoy the Parks.

People have asked me of the frog union. There are three things you must understand: 1. I love frogs. Like, really, really love frogs. Like "got a herpetology degree" love frogs. 2. I love Disney. 3. I love Disney World because it combines these things so well.

One of the best things I have done for myself is buy a cane. It was such a big mental hurdle and yet when I need it, it's made such a huge difference. This weekend being a huge one, where I doubt I would have been able to enjoy the cottage if I didn't have it. Also Bluewater beach is stunning.

#SDCC comic con: our daughter left her 3D printed black dragon in the restroom near E/Starbucks. She printed it herself and is devastated. We checked the restroom and lost and found which means someone picked it up. If you bring it to 5552 I will give you a signed comic as reward

Holy shit that is so fun and now I feel less bad! I was staffing so to have missed an announcement of you made me sad! Glad it came together!

I crashed the con with a regular weekend badge: they didn't know I was coming and we threw the panel together in a spare slot Friday night.

I was really looking forward to. The Last Gas Station, which I played the demo of a while ago. Now that I have the full game it doesn't quite hit the mark, which is sad. The gameplay loop doesn't quite have enough novel to it once you get going (store/resource management) /1

It also suffers from having locations you can go to once for a single story beat, that the serve no purpose but remain open to visit. Like an unfired checkov gun, I'm left wondering why I can go to the lake and yet can't talk to the bear about anything that has happened or that I have seen. /3

But the real let down is that the whole story is based around a mystery, and the reveal is... Meh. Not as disappointing as Pacific Drive was but still... I know how difficult it is to write a mystery, I struggle myself! But you need a good resolution when that's the base of the story hook /2
