GhostDive

Streaming some art for a bit before I play Silent Hill! Come say hi if you wanna! twitch.tv/ghostdivedies

A party member rolled a 1 at the worst time last night and we had our first character death for our group. It was pretty gruesome, but everyone still had a good time, so I'm glad.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Check out how easy this is.

The phrasing of posts like this frustrates the fuck out of me at times. "Bottom 60?" What a bullshit statement.

I'm like an ambush predator that will just tell you about preindustral stonecutting techniques instead of biting through the base of your spine

Timothy the Hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius) at the San Antonio Zoo demonstrates why he's not in the petting area using a Fall pumpkin. 🦛🎃 The bite force of a hippo is ~2000 psi, producing a force of 8100 Newtons. So why does a GRASS-EATER have jaws stronger than a polar bear, jaguar or lion's?

Silhouettes to each other

Daisy Gilardini captured this footage for NatGeo of a Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) napping & demonstrating the impressive range of vocalizations. But I want to talk about the sounds you CAN'T hear these enormous sea-puppies make! (📷: Daisy Gilardini for Nat Geo)

The man whose voice set world records. The late Stan Lemkuil, the human sound machine, mastered over 300 vocal sound effects with just his mouth – from sirens to lasers and everything in between. Original post

Something I wish more people would realize.

This footage shot by a tourist aboard Jacksonville Boat Charters near Amelia Island, Florida shows a leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). At 2000 lbs (900 kg) & 7 ft long (2.1 m) they're the largest turtles & indeed one of the heaviest extant reptiles on Earth. Here There Be Monsters!

today is your reminder that the 'Guennol Lioness', a proto-Elamite statuette, confirms evidence that humans have been hot for massive furry women since at least 5000ish BCE, contemporary with our invention of the wheel and the first cohesive writing systems

Shout out to the dude in Crossroads on the last day of Beta yesterday. They were crashing out about the pre-WotLK zombie plague showing up and hindering his progression in a world about to be perma-deleted. Reminder not to take shit that don't matter so seriously. ❤️

Man I am glad we hate Arator, but can we not shit on the artist's art style in that comic?

Even the stars that fade still leave echoes...

No matter what hyperfixations we share or don't share, I will support my mutuals through whatever interests they have. Their happiness and joy is mine.

Can't wait for a whole new generation of Horde roleplayers in WoW Forever to learn there are no chairs in Horde cities

my hot take: sometimes i don’t want movies to be good. i sometimes enjoy bad movies more bc like. in dracula untold (25% on rotten tomatoes) he makes a fist and all the bats he controls turn into a fist made of 10,000 bats and he punches someone with a fist made of 10,000 bats, yknow

Ichthyosaurs were lizards pretending to be dolphins pretending to be fish. They evolved from air-breathing land reptiles (diapsids) that returned to the sea, shed legs & grew flippers. Being a swimming lizard with LUNGS has some surprising challenges elucidated by the fossil record.

a message from the future

I wonder how many windows he finished

Time to get on spooktober stream and roll into Diablo IV. Now to try not to make inappropriate exclamations about my crushes in there.

civility is the attitude sold by collaborators

Inverse Vicious Mockery called Praising Affirmations where you heal somebody by sharing a heartfelt secret or compliment. "Paladin! You touched my hand by mistake twelve nights ago, and the warmth of your palm healed me far more than any potion or spell ever has!" *full health*

Wow. That means a lot, N'Zoth Old God of the Deep!!!

BIOWARE IS DEAD. NOW WHAT? A thread to panic read on what happens next to your beloved games and servers, and where to find Devs that made that thing you love.

Hey, delicately, the biggest takeaway from the BioWare thing shouldn’t immediately be “noooo, I wanted that new Mass Effect game.” That is really short-sighted and only focusing on one small part of this tragedy.
