So i picked up an Alan Parsons Project album (Pyramid?) a few months ago on a whim, and it turns out i LOVE that kind of vibe and sound, so when i found Turn of a Friendly Card at my local record shop for like 3$ CAD i snapped that up instantly. Turns out TOAFC is EVEN MORE my vibe. What a good band

Rest in peace to the true queen of country music, Dolly Parton. She carried a song in her heart and wouldnt let anyone stop her from singing it. We should all be so lucky to have such glorious purpose.

RPG publishers have put this icon on hundreds of books to tell people that no so was used. We can have that for board games too! (And also credit the artist(s) on the box, it's such a big component of games now) hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

beth@bethsobel.bsky.social · 2w agoAs an attention-shy human, I have complicated feelings about my name on game boxes. That said, in this era of AI trash, if I do not see a human artist name on a game box, I will hesitate to buy it.
South of Midnight looks absolutely brilliant, to be honest - the only reason i havent gone for it yet is monetary. Im happy to hear the studio is getting paid what they deserve for their work :3

🚨PSA For Twitch Streamers Moving to YouTube! YT has (unfortunately) automatically enrolled creators in AI features for over a year and you must turn off MULTIPLE settings in YT Studio to avoid it! ➡️Under Advanced Channel Settings, make sure to turn off AI Training, AI Dubbing, + AI Enhancements!
i should buy a new brighter monitor - im struggling to use my computer during the day bc my monitors are directly under my window, and even with curtains closed the sun coming through makes the screens a little difficult to see.

OMG IT'S ME!! Thank you @duckvalentine.bsky.social for including some of my thoughts in this amazing article! Be sure to check it out, it's amazingly written!
![A quote from the article 'From Stardew Valley To Destiny 2, Here’s Why We All Love Fishing Minigames' which reads:
'Thorne, known as the Fishing Minigame Guy, appropriately runs a social account: Is There A Fishing Minigame? But contrary to the name, he doesn’t think every single game needs a fishing minigame in it.
“My general rule is [if a game is] quite tense or stressful, a fishing minigame should be used as a moment of relief, like in Hades or Red Dead Redemption 2. But if a game is calm and cozy, a fishing minigame should exist to add a little bit of tension and challenge, such as in Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing. The times there shouldn’t be a fishing minigame, however, are games where there’s no room for a break from the action, or where time away from the main goal or story would break the flow of the game or diminish its impact—if a fishing minigame was in Outer Wilds, for example, the actual gameplay loop would be diminished by it; you’d either have no time to fish or you’d spend *too much time* fishing, both of which would take away from the game and the journey it’s taking you on.'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yx2m2o5mkwgujwuxgbii2lxn/bafkreigwxvy4rsp3q7cebmuitn6ddoq74k4xedoakefmrf6k2y7swhs7ry)
