Raid Leading in World of Warcraft is so much fun. Tonight my raiders all bombarded me with DMs of cursed shit to try to get me to laugh between pulls.

trying to finish this fanfic chapter tonight so I can get other shit done tomorrow and my brain just doesn't wanna go

half of my handwritten notes for my Naruto fanfiction are in Japanese so I have some outlet of practice/immersion and often have to force myself to look up new grammar/vocabulary and learn new kanji strokes but I have an entire page I have no recollection of writing that's just "dragon"

there's also a lot of headcanon/oc worldbuilding in said fic that involves dragons and I don't like to make terms for this story unless I know how to write them in Japanese and the majority of my Japanese notes are the worldbuilding notes so I HAVE just been writing 竜 a lot

竜の国 火の大竜 運命の大竜 竜神 海の大竜 土の大竜 yeah. lmao. lotta fuckin dragon shit.

like in fairness 竜 is probably the most complicated kanji I can write off the top of my head without looking up the stroke order (not the most complicated one I can recognize) and it's very fun to write so I probably just got bored or something but when did I do this lmao

Arguments over character sexuality are so boring, I have much more fun assuming everyone is bisexual until canon tells me otherwise.

I'm making a stew tomorrow and decided to crock pot the chicken for it tonight to shred it because I have the type of autism that gives me sensory issues when handling raw meat and I just drained it and separated it into a new container and ohhhh my god the chicken tastes so good and its so tender

I also put an entire pack of chicken thighs into the pot and it was maybe entirely too much for what I'm making tomorrow so I guess I'll have some leftovers for sandwiches or something but man that shit good, maybe I should do crock pot recipes more often??

People who hate kids are wrong because kids will just say shit and it's always funny. Today at work a kid told me he was going to kill god with a straw.

Finally got around to watching Seven Havens. I was really apprehensive about the premise, but now The Mystery really intrigues me. Also I really like Jae, but I think he should break up with his boyfriend and date Daemin instead. They have better chemistry tbh

My first BW staff badge, 2006. It was a huge privilege to be a small part of something that brought so many people together all around the world. The thriving relationships made through BioWare games are a comforting legacy today. Here’s to the good times. 🍻

I'm tired of Discourse I'm tired of negativity I don't want to endorce toxic positivity but I'm tired and I want to cry

I wish life sims (Sims competitors) would do more Supernatural stuff, the witches/werewolves/vampires/fairies/mermaids as part of the gameplay is what I love about the Sims and it doesn't look like any of its competitors are willing to make something like that

I don't think I know how to stop assuming everyone thinks I'm stupid because their opinions are different than mine and I don't think I ever will

My last therapist told me to stop caring what other people think so much but how? How do I know what I am without the perception of others? I clearly cannot trust my own sense of self because I'm a stupid idiot baby moron

anyway I will never talk about dragon age ever again because I'm sure people will think I am stupid for enjoying them because idk the setting isn't edgy anymore or something

This is a post from Michal Nowakowski, one of the joint CEOs of CDPR. Without Bioware, CDPR might not have created Witcher 1. Without Witcher 1, there is no Witcher 2 nor 3 nor Cyberpunk 2077. This is the level of Bioware's influence, and the size of today's loss to RPG gaming.

I really have not ever felt grief manifest as such intense rage before. I hope the Saudi blood money was worth it EA xoxoxo

y'know, it doesn't hurt because I'll never see those IPs again. They made games I love and will always have and I'm grateful to have them, even if I'll never have more. Its that two series that mean so much to me--inspired me, comforted me, offered me catharsis and escapism--were treated like trash.

Good faith criticism of a game like Veilguard can simply no longer exist because of how tainted it is by its bad faith criticism, and now where it sits in BioWare's history. There is no longer any separating it from the place it occupied in culture war.

It hurts. Not because I'll never get to experience a new BioWare game ever again, but because those games meant something to me and nothing to the people that mattered and the people who made this thing that is so important and foundational to who I am were not treated with the respect they deserved

Nobody engaged in criticism of these games in good faith and this resulted in the games being nothing but a number that wasn't good enough in an executive project when the work that was put into them by its developers should have meant more than that.

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

WoW housing is good for the soul One of my characters is a fortune teller so naturally I host rp events where I do in-character tarot readings with her, and I don't do much with my Alliance plot BUT I did set up a little oddity sideshow+fortune teller's tent for her :)

Few things have meant as much to me as Mass Effect and Dragon Age have. This is an incredible tragedy and I am furious.

I do not care how you, personally, felt about Dragon Age Veilguard, or what you try to say is objective criticism about it or whatever. It did not deserve to be the game that shuttered a studio. End of discussion.

Any other neurodivergants ever ask for help or express you are struggling in some aspect of your life only to get lectured in a way that just feels like someone saying to you "normal people don't struggle with this, you are stupid" and it doesn't ever help and makes you feel worse or is it just me

sorry I watched the new Avatar movie and it did in fact remind me that I was, am, and always will be Zutara trash

yay its my birthday and I have pumpkin cheesecake and biscoff cookies and a pumpkin spice latte

Veilguard ended more or less with all the closure I needed for my canon Dragon Age world state and I'm content with where it is, and I've wanted to try playing other world states and explore other options but today I was like "what if I play my canon world state again tho"

I hate this trend in the Naruto fandom I've noticed where there's NaruHina fans who don't like SasuSaku and they spend a lot of time beating down on Sakura and being really misogynistic towards her but then there's SasuSaku fans who don't like NaruHina and do the same to Hinata and it baffles me?

I'm an old ship war veteran and the endgame ships of Naruto are worthy of criticism but why you need to feel the need to beat down on the other female character is confusing to me unless you're that insecure about your literally canon ships.

I love Ivankov Oda stop making me cry like this isn't what I needed to hear #OnePieceSpoilers #OnePiece1196

I have never felt more seen than when my best friend showed me a picture of a Guy I am undeniably going to be attracted to but instead said "I think you will enjoy psychoanalyzing him"

He can't join the legion of my fictional husbands if I can't write 500 paragraph Tumblr essays about his psyche
