The new TCG Pocket booster has done some CONFUSING stuff.
When you get cards from older sets you didn't own. They get added to this list but NOT that old sets list. But they count for deck missions. And they show up as owned everywhere inc the wishlist so you CANT TELL WHAT YOU DONT HAVE

Spent 10+ mins yesterday doing intense roleplay with @tanfighter.bsky.social and, as @lesbyearning.bsky.social put it, “edging” the rest of the table.

I love my friends. I love this story ❤️

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

Someone who's followed me on Instagram for 2.5 years didn't know I'd done a full tarot deck even though they followed me when I started drawing the cards.
However annoying you think you're being about your work - triple that and it still won't be even close. ✨Repost your work right the fuck now.✨

"if your whole personality is hating men-" have you considered that the ease with which you are willing to shrink a woman down to one single trait that you have perceived based on what you've been told is "man hating" may be an indicator of misogynistic thinking?

When I tell you AP Producers are the unsung heroes.

The cast/crew member that handles so much of the stress of streaming or recording & editing so that the GM can focus on running things and the players can engage with the story and the game.

When you have a good producer, you get spoiled quick. 💖

AP Producers don't get the flowers they deserve.

It was surprising for me, a producer who was not performing, when I was asked to be included in the Safety Tools List. That was very cool.

At the end of the day, Producers are part of the table and they should feel safe too.

No one will ever see this so...Korra was a very smart, cool and incredibly powerful Avatar maybe even more than Aang and people just hate her because she's a brown woman.

I've been marinating on the idea of starting an Actual Play-focused web fest based around peer review for a while now. Today, I finally wrote down all the ideas in my head and am gonna throw it out there to see if it resonates.

Check it out and apply by October 3rd if you're interested!

lifting her gf failed successfully

a single-page comic panel by Spindle of the characters Asimov and Ottilie (as well as Therese, Izaria, and Felt in the background).
The first panel on the top shows Asimov, a half-elf with white hair, about to dunk a ball into a target (not shown in the panel), while her gf, Ottilie, is about to lift her to help. In the bottom left corner of the panel Therese, Izaria, and Felt are seen playing strip poker; Therese asking Felt to hand over her bra.

The second panel on the bottom shows Ottilie failing to lift Asimov up, and instead her arms swing up to grab onto her breasts. Ottilie's expression is of confusion, and Asimov is a bit flustered. In the bottom left corner, Therese holds up Felt's bra in victory, while Felt sighs annoyed

Some day Nintendo fans will understand that Nintendo treats its universes as piles of beloved music and iconography to be remixed and recontextualized into fun new games and not an interconnected linear narrative linked by causality

But it is not this day
