"Nova's Ship" is an extremely serious game where nothing absurd happens. Ever. (...I'm joking.)

The bloopers are too powerful for Bluesky's video limit, so here's a 2-part version in two posts—or you can watch the entire thing in one go via www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5sU...!

Thanks! I think they were pretty good for my first time making them 🤩 I'll make sure to not have the ingredients again in a while, though, I don't need to make this dessert a tradition 😂

I see other VAs hiking and running and…I work out at home. Our real hobby is planning meals, trying (even faraway) restaurants, exploring cuisines we're unfamiliar with…

…and cosplay. Which may be at odds with each other on days like today that I realized I had the ingredients for bananas foster…

Homemade bananas foster with two ice cream servings: Key Lime Bar and Oregon Cherry flavors.

Thank you! My tablet keeps whining about not meeting the specs for Win 11, this should stall things long enough…

Halloween decor is the Cuevas' household decor year-round, so…

I think this is a great excuse for 순두부찌개.

I hope you feel better soon!!

The other Mr. Cuevas looks at me like I'm a serial killer whenever I eat bites out of my dessert in the middle of eating the main course 🙄

Direction + role announcement?!
Thank you, team (see credits below!)

Kylie somehow went ahead and trusted me to be one of the writers and to direct some of these unhinged performances.

Also, because "create your own opportunities," I voice Marcel!

Play for free! Exclamation mark!

Heads-up: Mexicans celebrate Independence Day tonight. If you're planning to go to a bona fide Mexican joint for dinner tonight, you probably want to arrive earlier.

I had zero booth buddies.
That changed today!

Trying to hammer out details for an upcoming script, it's usually an, "oh, co-writer, if you can see this, give me a sign…"

We're getting close to the (script) deadline. Energy drinks and coffee, don't fail me.

Having writers that live 15 hours apart in timezones means @j-cuevas.com and I occasionally do what we call as the Google Docs séance (or J-éance)

At work, can't join VC but you see your co-writer writing away?

Say hi / Ask a question and words will start to appear magically and make sense.

It's super fun when the marriage act has me legally listed as "husband," married to a "spouse", the "wife" checkbox is unchecked.

Feeling like we got a searchlight trailing us.

I've only been able to tame them with prescription strength Aspirin or a combination of lysine aspirin with metoclopramide (because mine comes with nausea); making my sleep and meals as regular as possible helps…when I can make that happen 😬

Oh, man, and I want to hang out with VAs because I've noticed that plenty of us are damn quirky foodies.

LA isn't close to me so that means so many potentially incredible experiences…yet people decide to behave like this?

Ugh. I'm so sorry.

Shhh, I'm telling myself it's almost over until it's true or the pain stops
