White people are really out here believing that the universe has intentions for them.

My fan cover for Montgomery LaMontgommery's upcoming book, finally spotlighting the most upstanding gentleman in all of Gath. THANK YOU for Wealwell @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, @dimension20.bsky.social. He is everything I've ever wanted - nay, needed - and more.
#CloudwardHo #Dimension20

A faux book cover cartoony illustration in brown and teal tones. It shows the Cloudward Ho! cast in a heroic tableau: in the background, Olethra is happily steering the MechLeod, and Daisuke is up on a cliff, aiming a rifle towards centre frame; closer to the viewer are Van on the left, blowing her bosun whistle with tentacles a-tentacling, and Maxwell Gotch on the right, looking a bit unsure about what's happening; closer still are Monty on the left, holding his notebook and looking sagely off-frame, and Marya on the right, holding a huge wrench close to her chest and staring forlornly off-camera. And in the centre and the foreground, looking directly at the viewer, is the lithe, handsome, elegantly poised figure of Wealwell Gotch, hair golden, moustache curled, dressed in a fine teal suit and resting his hand on a katana. The top reads "Montgomery LaMontgommery", and the bottom "Where There's A Weal There's A Well".
The original designs for the Cloudward Ho! cast are by the wonderful Cait May.

I wish I could say that I picked Hephaestus the most in Hades II just because he's the hottest, but mostly I liked defense and sustainability. I took Strength over death defiance, so I needed to get it somewhere.

I got that achievement because of a well. 😆 But I did manage the actual feat waaaaaay after that.

Professor Alex @shiningcrobat.bsky.social · 2d

Funny how I went from not winning at all to zooming to the credits of Hades II. Looking back at the first game, there was at least a nice big gap between my first and second clear.

The blog I used to find co-op board games is dead. 🫠 They're no longer posting new reviews, just listicles with suspiciously different, bad writing. Preview images for most recent articles are definitely gen AI.

Hell yeah, love a unique PoV like this.

Honestly love that Latinx was probably originally coined in 90s-00s online queer spaces. Making cishets angy about a letter for 25 years.
Gonna make a Kingdom Hearts OC named Altin to celebrate.

There is an amount of complaining where I have to ask, "Why are you trying to join this club that you hate?"

Professor Alex @shiningcrobat.bsky.social · 3d

Dunno why we keep getting this since we don't shop for kids, but we keep getting it earlier every year.

Professor Alex @shiningcrobat.bsky.social · 4d

Look, I hate this too, but Mastodon and Threads are absolutely not the solutions. I mean, most of all not Threads because it's just more Meta walled garden garbage and also refusing to protect queer people.

Realizing that because all the new forms are Megas according to leaks, PLZA is the first Pokemon game in about a decade where I haven't pre-planned and named my team, at least so far. 🤔I'm pretty sure about my starter, but could be swayed, and I know there's a different mega I want to main.

Got 4 wins in Hades II today, 3 on the first final boss and 1 on the second. Definitely beefier than the first game, which I rolled credits on in about 30 hours.
Although I feel like I'm gonna run into the same issue where I beat it well before I dig far into the conversations.
