Taking a lazy day, eating cereal, watching a cartoon. Kid me didn't know how much more fun it would be in my thirties with a wife and a snuggly kitty. But it is.

Block Block Block is now available on Steam!♥️

If we could ask a quick favour of any Yarn Spinner user, it would be for those who have purchased YS+ to leave a review. Less than 1% of purchases have left a review. Y'all game devs know how much reviews make a difference, and tools are no different. Help us stand out among AI-coded slop 🙏

Married to a theater kid, probably would have been one given the chance. Perfectly reasonable reaction.

in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

#AwesomCharacters #WriteSky All my characters? Probably Lord Machiaj. He's a well-meaning sort of aristocrat who owns at least three fancy makeup trowels, and is not above helping with the housework, even when some people might wish he wouldn't. That silence will be punctured by a loud, "SORRY!"

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters You and all your characters are staying together somewhere! You hear a loud crash, then silence. Which one do you immediately suspect, and what do you think just happened? Are you worried or mad? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#MythAugust #WritingCommunity #WriteSky The problem with having multiple, actual gods that come around to cause trouble is that basically every major religion is "correct." You have to be very powerful, or very brave indeed to be an atheist. One of the largest religions on The Accident is... 1/3

Hello #writingcommunity, welcome to Day 1 of #MythAugust! This is a worldbuilding game about ✨fantasy✨ gods, myths & religions! You can use the prompts to build up your gods, or yap about some you've already made! Today, give us a BRIEF intro (not too detailed!), & please interact with others ☺️❤️

BTW, it's probably not even close to being ready yet, but someone is building a Linux-first but also cross-platform video editor in Godot. Which is awesome. codeberg.org/gozen/gozen #gameDev (not really) #indieDev (it counts) #openSource #camelCase

Writer here, and I'm just holding back, waiting until I've written at least a second novel before I go all, "HERE'S EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOIT WRITING NOVELS. PLEASE WRITE SOME NOVELS SO I CAN READ THEM!" I find that, except for guys like the Vantablack dipshit, most artists like sharing.

Seeing complaints online that authors 'gatekeep' information…! Absolute nonsense. There is no industry or craft in the world which is so comprehensively written about, studied, and discussed as fiction writing, and every author I know welcomes new writers who are serious about giving it a go.

This is Cori's last chance (for now, at least) to make partner. Come on by, chat, or just hit one of the single-point channel redeems and lurk at low volume, or like... go all in and become a huge Cori stan. It's up to you. But let's make this happen. She deserves this. Hell, I deserve this.

63 now. Check out this book about Eolina, a woman on the run from a murderous king, and the 10 immortal knights from another realm that she bumps into.

I would love to get A Light for the Dead to Follow up to 100 sales at last (it's been out a year and I'm still at 62), so if you like epic fantasy novellas full of magic and romance, maybe check it out! 💫

Oh holy crap. So there's a community-run project/launcher to keep Paladins going-ish called Tempest. I checked it out to see if I could get it running on Linux. They just... straight up have AppImages for Linux users. Okay, then! I might actually play some Paladins.

I've heard people complain about both Dragonball Z Abridged and Hellsing Ultimate Abridged, saying that the abridged versions overshadowed the brilliance of the originals, and they're mad that people form their opinions based on the abridged versions. NO ONE says that about SAO: Abridged.

COME HELP CORI MAKE PARTNER! FOR SCIENCE! I'M NOT TIPSY, YOU'RE TIPSY! No but seriously, if ~45 of my 1K plus followers came to watch a great person play a fun game, that'd be great.

GETTING CLOSERRRR THEN JUST GOTTA HOLD IT

The sky is perceptually blue, water feels wet, Ubisoft is doing another entry in their existing IPs... I mean, it's not terribly surprising.

Eurogamer@eurogamer.bsky.social · 5d ago

Ubisoft reportedly has yet another Far Cry game in development. https://bit.ly/44QxlV5

Me, describing the plan for dinner to my wife: * Imitation carne al pastor made from soy * Rice * Spices chosen more or less at random << This is the part where she got really excited for some reason. * Veggies * The vegetarian chorizo we have in the fridge. It's Stir-Fryday, baby!

And then he sees the Cockatoo and the Cockatoo is all like, "I failed you all those years ago, but I've made a home for you to return to and it's okay if you want to kill me." And he's like, "That's a really strange way to say, 'Hi, good to see you, Polly want a hug.'"

Saejima arrived in the Yakuza franchise in Y4 like a Cockatoo owner returning home to find out the caretakers let his bird pluck out all it’s feathers, and everyone is insisting “relax your velociraptor is fine, he’s just like he always was” while he’s like “YOU MEAN MY COCKATOO?”

I just found out there's a guy who asks AI if a YouTube video is worth watching before he watches it and like... Sometimes I really hate people.

I got to type "first." I have a mango flavored drink, a fluffy kitty in my lap, and I'm ready to type stuff in chat. Come join me.

Ah, the good times. When I tried to explain that the "deviant" in "deviantART" just meant "different" and not deviant in like, a demonic or overly sexual way, and there was no AI BS. No, I didn't tell her about all the fan art, and I sure as FUCK didn't tell her about the Sonic fandom.
