Because the complete lack of precipitation over the summer, we’ve got lots of bears rummaging through trash cans and cars. Gotta be careful opening your front door in some areas.

I really, really *need* those audiobooks, so come on folks, let’s make it happen!

900k goal reached (thank you!), and we’ve revealed two more stretch goals: a cloth map of Aitrus's Map to the Surface and 🎙️unabridged audiobooks 📻 of all 3 novels! More details will be available when we have them, but a quick note that they will be traditional audiobooks, not radio plays!

#Reddit is dead to me and has been for a long time. I wish more folks would use #PieFed, #Lemmy, or any of their forks instead. A couple of years ago it really seemed like it was gonna pick up some real steam, but it’s been languishing for a while now.

I’m guessing it won’t have cross-save support as it also does not have multiplayer. Which is unfortunate. I only ever play it with friends.

After 10 years No Man’s Sky is coming to iPhone and iPad! I wonder if it’ll sync with my current saves on Mac and PC? https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/10/after-a-10-year-redemption-arc-no-mans-sky-is-coming-to-the-iphone-and-ipad/ #NoMansSky

One seriously great thing about the iPhone Duo is app developers are allowing their apps to run in landscape again. I’ve seriously missed landscape mode in iOS apps. As a bonus, they’re also spending a little time making the landscape version look nice. #iPhoneDuo #iOS #development

That’s some serious detail!

…And then, 6 months later, I end up with something like this! 6 months isn’t the norm, but this one did indeed take that long. Call it a labor of love, but I fell for Spellmonger by Terry Mancour and wanted to illustrate at least one scene in the greatest possible detail I could manage!

If anyone is curious how I mock out my drawings, here’s how I do it! I draw little rectangles on scratch paper, until I frame it the way I want in a very basic way. I like to add details as I go, so once I have a basic concept, I take it and run.

My best friend, Penny, doesn’t usually let me take photos of her. She literally spazzes when I point my phone at her. So, here are some rare glimpses of her weirdness right now! #DogsOfMastodon #dog

Got it for my birthday 33 years ago. Played on a Macintosh Performa 430 with an external 1x CD-ROM drive (also got for my birthday). It was slow to load, but I did not care. I was transfixed.

33 years ago today, the Stranger stepped onto the dock of Myst Island for the first time. We can still hear the water splashing against the pilings.

Got caught up on the new season of #Silo that’s out so far, I kind of wish I would’ve waited for the whole season to be out, but damn this season is really good! I was nervous about the other “timeframe” introduced being a distraction, but nah, it’s cranked the intrigue up by an order of magnitude.

I’ve been collecting pins and buttons for a long time and never really have done much with them, decided to start adding them to a couple different places depending on how much I like them. Then I saw @Iconfactory’s sale on their #tapestry pins and had to get them!

This year’s musical guests at The Colorado State Fair are blowing my mind. What the hell, is it 1992? Line Up: - Vanilla Ice - Tone Loc - Color Me Badd - C+C Music Factory I’m totally wiggin out, I mean, cool beans dude!

I’m definitely curious about the performance improvements and design refinements. Maybe some of the AI stuff might be useful, and hopefully Siri really is more helpful. Sure seemed a little slow to respond, which I guess is to be expected with these types of models. #WWDC

You know what’s hard to find? Unscented trash bags. Even the ones that claimed to be unscented have a vague citrus smell to them and generally speaking I don’t want my garbage to smell like food or the ocean or lavender or anything else for that matter I just take it out before it starts to stink.
