It's World Mental Health Day and it's important you're reminded we are glad you're here.
It's ok our brains don't run on default settings.
It's ok if you're struggling as long as you're still here with us.
If you feel alone, reach out to help or connect with another person.
We've got this. Together.

Phoebe is a good person and has helped out with many charity events that TheRPGValkyries have put on.

She could use some help to stay afloat. Please send a couple dollarydoos if you're able, and please be sure to like and repost her need.

That said, money is a little tight right now. Please don't feel pressured, but if you can spare a couple bucks, it'd do a lot to make streaming more often a reality.

Three Take This staff members, all in grey Take This jackets and wearing convention badges on orange Take This lanyards, are standing in front of an AFK Quiet Room vertical sign with information and rules for the AFK Room.

A hand drawn sign. Written text reads "AFK Lounge. You are safe here." Artist signature SB is at the bottom of the text. A rabbit and a cat are below, heads leaned together in a cozy pose.

Two take this volunteers wearing blue volunteer shirts stand between three pokemon standees (from left to right: chikorita, tepig, and totodile) at the Pokemon North America International Championships.

At some point, you gotta decide.

OpenAI's marketing team might want to take another shot at this ad.

A billboard showing a broken car with the OpenAI and ChatGPT logos.

The implication is supposed to be "ChatGPY is your buddy that can help you do things like fix your car"

However, it can also be read as "ChatGPT is a broken down car, completely useless"

Oh, I'm sorry, you can't just lie there like that and not expect "Ooooooooh tiny baby" to come out of my mouth

NihonTiger @nihontiger.bsky.social · 1d

That's a nice looking cat and it's great that you were able to take them in for now

NihonTiger @nihontiger.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you for sharing this, Rupi, I greatly enjoyed this.

I also very much like being alone to do good and maybe make the lives of others better.

NihonTiger @nihontiger.bsky.social · 1d

Color palette, lack of shading and the font make me think so, too.

Kate Gray @hownottodraw.bsky.social · 1d

I'm pretty sure this is an AI-generated logo. If you look at the other versions of it on their website, every single bird is slightly different (the feet, the head, the bag).

I mean, this sucks, no?

A screenshot of the Sackbird website that says "seek the sack" (horrible) followed by four images of a black bird with a bindle and a human arm. there are minor variations in the art - some birds have bigger heads, or more fingers, or flatter feet.

(And not just because I've seen the giant banhammer you and the wife keep in the closet, no ma'am, not with all the spikes and how heavy and scary looking it is, and not because I thought I heard it whisper my name in a haunting voice that no one else could hear)

NihonTiger @nihontiger.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely. I just try to take what's given and enjoy what's out there. And I try to not be too greedy, too.

I think it's important to remember that not every friend is gonna let you into their lives the same amount and respecting those boundaries is super duper important.

That can be helpful in finding hidden gems, though! It's really easy to miss smaller games that are secretly really fun

NihonTiger @nihontiger.bsky.social · 1d

It is!

And I still need to assemble a list of stuff coming out that I *want* to try!

NihonTiger @nihontiger.bsky.social · 1d

Hey, new awesome collab dropped that goes to a good cause!

It's more fun when it's a friend, too

NihonTiger @nihontiger.bsky.social · 1d

Good advice here.

Always helps to keep the artists who do the hard work with a roof over their heads, if you can.

IggyMaid @iggymaid.bsky.social · 1d

"This art piece will cost you <absurdly low amount>"

You have two paths you can take:
A: "Woah what a deal let's go"
B: "I'm giving you double, you're undercharging for your work"

& if you say "I go A because I'm poor" then I'm going to slap you, save up to pay your artists a fair rate

NihonTiger @nihontiger.bsky.social · 1d

Probably not. Gonna rewrite that repost.

NihonTiger @nihontiger.bsky.social · 1d

Actually, this isn't a dumb idea. Curious to see how it goes.

NihonTiger @nihontiger.bsky.social · 1d

This is also helpful if you can't commission.

I choose C: "I'm poor and don't commission art but I like share(when it isn't lewd) and follow artists.
