I haven't finished Tactician Mode either... I started a playthrough with my partner a long while back and then ran out of steam. 😔

Made lasagna yesterday because my partner needed an emergency period-cramp lasagna. That also means we get to have leftover lasagna today, which is the best type of lasagna.

Schwierig. Das Engagement ist bei lighthearted Themen wie Pen&Paper und Spielen besser, aber es ist halt doch Metas Algorithmus. Ich denke immer mal wieder drüber nach mich dort abzumelden, schaffe den Absprung aber nicht, weil dort doch einige coole Leute sind.

FF8 was the first Final Fantasy I ever played, and it will forever hold a very special place in my heart.

I just realized that the Portland Antifascist Frog has singlehandedly reclaimed amphibians from the “alt right”. Yet another way he is a Great American.

We have never lived in a more exciting time for music and new musical ideas - but we’ve probably also never lived in an economic climate more directly hostile to musicians and their fans 😅

I heard someone on a podcast say that music is boring now and, look, I am saying this as kindly as I can…skill issue.

if you don’t understand a leader’s job is to PROTECT the people with less power, you cannot be a leader

somebody who abuses people under their power is never an effective or even decent leader
