to be very annoying I'm now only 3 followers away from 3k on Bsky and 6 followers away from 3500 on Twitch 👀 I'm also working on maintaining a 30 CCV so that I can apply to the Bandai Creator Program and then maybe keep going and do a Partner Push in the new year :D www.twitch.tv/ashiirosee

I'm getting really close to a couple of follower goals again 🥰 💙 9 away from 3k here on BSky 💜 22 away from 3.5k on Twitch Maybe we can hit these in the next week? 👀 If you like watching people cry about video games, I'm your girl! www.twitch.tv/ashiirosee

I got a lot of stuff right to the home stretch, which means next weekend I think I can start to actually FINISH some things??

I had a big list of project stuff I wanted to do this long weekend and I got ALMOST ALL of it done and it feels fantastic PLUS I got to watch spider-man and start Chants of Sanaar with my husband and now I get to go watch dropout stuff

This is going to be a niche question, but: Canadian and UK ttrpg writers, esp. D&D DMsGuild folk, how do you reconcile which spellings to use especially when they intersect with (American) rules content? (i.e. "Light Armor Proficiency" vs. "Light Armour Proficiency")

The new Spider-Man was very, very good. Also, clearly took some inspiration from the incredible Insomniac games 😆 My only disappointment is the slow and inevitable twinkdeath of Tom Holland.

i think the party of sick freaks who want to inspect kid's private parts should be branded as such

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

I get into such a flow state when I'm working on book layouts in indesign, wow, what do you mean it's almost 7pm

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Unsurprisingly I love this music, go check it out and support Devin! 🎶🌃⛵ (Also check out Track 12, Forged by the Journey, for which I wrote the lyrics and also sang lead vocals!!!)

Check out some newly-released music from a recent Silverstring project I worked on! Project Meridia has some of my favourite pieces I've had the extraordinary luck of working on in recent memory. devinvibert.bandcamp.com/album/projec...

God it would be so cool to work on @gamechanger.dropout.tv

The season 1 episode about the right to privacy was prophetic, eh?

It was time to find a comfort show to rewatch for the 20th time, so we started up my favourite tv show in the fantasy genre, The West Wing.

Another weekend spent largely working on non-job work projects and continuing to feel energized by them. Both with them and at Riyo I’m actually feeling more *in control* of my work and empowered to do it

THEY TALKED TO THE COMPUTER IN STAR TREK BEACUSE ITS A *TV SHOW* AND YOU CANT HEAR WHAT SOMEONE IS TYPING NOT BEACUSE IT IS GOOD UX

Jay Tholen@jaytholen.net · 2w ago

one of those things that was cool in star trek but absolutely sucks now that it's real

Oh hey, yep, basically same conclusions we came to. Like even if you're willing to write off the ethical stuff, there's a bunch of super boring business reasons to not go anywhere near it. Including "it appears to erode your abilities even if you're aware of that risk going in." That's uh. Um. No.

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI. It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us. Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning. So: Sharing time! 1/12

Are there folks who review 3rd party d&d products (drivethrurpg/dmsguild) for professional sites? Is that a thing? What’s your favourite place to learn about new ttrpg projects?

guys i just checked the forecast and today is going to be full of love

if you're in the metro vancouver area or its environs, we're about to get smacked by some pretty bad wildfire smoke starting tonight firesmoke.ca/forecasts/cu... make sure you have N95 masks on hand if you're headin out

Previous discoveries include "healing spells are better now" and "lesser restoration is a bonus action" o_O

I keep discovering new things about 5.5e. For instance: you generally cannot learn Rare Languages unless a feature lets you. Rangers and rogues get features that let them learn any language including rare ones! But there is no way for a wizard, bard, or warlock to learn Draconic, Infernal, etc.
