So I'm kinda bad about using this platform lately, but in the off chance anyone has recommendations:

Going to NYC for a few days, staying on the Lower East Side. Anyone recommend good food/stuff to do? Got plenty on the list already but would love to add more

Finished Clair Obscur, easily one of my favorite games ever made, but now I gotta get my therapist to play it so she can help me process those fucking ENDINGS

I whispered "noctis" under my breath once while in line at Trader Joe's and she called me and left a 115 minute voicemail about how Lunafreya doesn't deserve him

This really means a lot! Probably the piece of music that I'm the most devastated didn't make it into the game it's for.

It's part of gamedev sometimes, and it's nobody's fault, but still sucks, so it's awesome to hear from folks who've discovered it anyway! Really appreciate it 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

OR you know the thing where stuff in your inventory is highlighted "new" until you view it, but then you accidentally select it for a split second while navigating to something else, and now it's marked "read" and you lose track?

This game keeps it marked "new" unless you actually pause to read! 🙏

Man, Clair Obscur has so many little quality of life things I now never want to go without. For example, the way recovery items work like Estus flasks means I use them all the time instead of hoarding them for a boss I never end up spending them on.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

The optics of you fighting an 80 year old probably aren't great but if anyone can overcome that it's you, please shield me

Pretty sure if my graduate advisor knew this was what I was doing with my degree he'd come to my house and kill me with a pitchfork

Anyone recommend any good language learning apps or tools? Specifically for Japanese, but multi-lingual ones welcome too.

@duolingoverde.bsky.social gleefully leaning into AI is a hard pass for me. Been on their paid plan for years but this is an instant-unsubscribe

I'm at a solid B- these days, which for living in America right now is pretty ok, and yes humans were not meant to have 10 fingies

I feel this in my bones, going through the Nier Automata piano book has me like "maybe tambourine"

Sinners was so fucking good. I was expecting a fun vampire time, I was not expecting a movie with so much amazing stuff to say about what it means to make music, and what music can do. All the performances were out of control.
