It's a free streaming platform because the content we create on it is how they make money. The cut of subs/bits/ad revenue has never been enough for them...line must go up. We are the product, the data and what they can do with it has the value. It was never about support and all about profits.

Not me almost getting down to my garage and realizing I don't have my keys. It's gonna be a loooong day.

NGL, people need to learn to let shit go. I'm sick and tired of stuff being brought up over and over and over again...

Overheard at work: CW1: Can we do this? CW2: *starts typing into their computer and mutters under their breath* Hold on, I'm asking Copilot Me: *dies a little inside*

Random QOTD: What's something about yourself/that you've done that surprises people when you share? I used to race cars in High School. Not like illicit street racing, but autocross with my boyfriend and his dad with the BMW and Ferrari car club.

I'm getting tired of the anti-ambassador program content going around. It seems like nothing but rage baiting and engagement farming to ride the algorithm. Does the Magic Ambassador program seem out of touch? Yes, do I think it needs improvement? Also yes. The vitriol is just ridiculous.

I would argue that this was true with oWoD and not just Masquerade specifically. I saw similar with nWoD but it wasn't nearly as strong.

I've got something in my brain about #ttrpg players and parasocial relationships, but I'm not in the right headspace. We've all witnessed the rise in a parasocial relationship with D&D5e alone, buoyed by Critical Role and a few key others. But that pales in the shadow of Vampire: The Masquerade.

I'm just so tired. Not physically tired, an exhaustion that's deep into my core...and it's all out of my control. I need a break...

@ttrpgifs.bsky.social I found a new card for you out of Mystery Booster Commander edition

Got in the first #commander game of #GenCon with @scrysociety.bsky.social and @strykredkite.bsky.social I'll be here all 4 days and looking to play 🙂

Will you be at GenCon? Come play in sessions of Paragons: The Roleplaying Game or pick up a copy of the game at Booth #1217!

When you find the item that goes with the random charger you found months ago while you were cleaning up.

I do not understand the desire of some people to outsource thinking.

Nothing is more frustrating than asking a question in good faith, being immediately dismissed by the other party, and then accused of arguing. It's so juvenile.

If anyone is looking for gift ideas for me... This is on that list. ❤️

Not me sitting on my couch planning my manicure for #MCAtlanta in November based on the original Mox cards for the 5 core colors.

As someone who was born in Houston, TX. I won't say the state is perfect, but it is definitely not what the state government makes it out to look. Decades of gerrymandering have created a red state where a purple one should be. It makes me sad for my family and friends there.

“Texas Government” is not equal to Texas. They are undeserving and maintaining their authority through gerrymandering. Culturally there should be a North Texas and a South Texas. And South Texas is amazing and diverse. But it’s totally cool so many folks want to just get rid of Texans.

The view through my sunroof. So pretty!

Mystery Package has been delivered. I have no idea what it is or who it's from, but I'll find out when I get home!

With a good Rule Zero conversation, I am generally flexible if people want to play some things that aren't exactly #commander legal, within reason. Its meant to be a social format. If someone takes advantage of that, then I know for next time and can walk away.

Had a woman at Starbucks this morning comment that she was surprised they didn't close the mall while they were doing construction "because of all the dust." Then continued on saying that "the least they could do is provide masks for people that were shopping." 🤦‍♀️

I will be off Wednesday through Monday of #GenCon weekend. I plan to be onsite every day and my schedule is pretty flexible. Anyone else trying to get their calendar together want to meet for a meal or a game??

My fur children during the fireworks. 🎇🎆

Friend: I'd really like to build a #commander deck with cards that existed before I was born. Me: When were you born? Friend: April 1997 I think my soul left my body, chat.

As someone who was a serial nail biter growing up, this is super impressive to me. I think this is the longest my natural nails have been...ever. Yes, the pinky is short, I almost pulled it off in April. It's growing ❤️

Did it take me a little over an hour while I was at the hospital (mostly waiting) to get it done? Yes It's done though, so that should make my appointment with my GP tomorrow a little more efficient.

Walk-in x-rays...in this economy? I'm skeptical but we will see.
