First pottery class done! Never done this before but I really enjoyed it and my instructor was impressed by my first attempts. I picked it up pretty quickly and made what I wanted (a yunomi 湯のみ) after my third attempt. It was then cut in half to better understand the process 😅

Playing regularly, but also collecting. It all started with the FF cards.
I played my first ever 4-person commander on Wednesday that didn’t go well at all. So now I’m determined to build a much better deck.

I’m spiraling down a rabbit hole organizing my Magic The Gathering cards.

Pray for me.

I’d prefer dining experiences based on The Menu personally.

Honestly, Battlefield or CoD, my personal opinion is that real-world war games are shit.
They’re having to really dig deep now to make anything different than turning on the news or looking out of the apartment window at the city streets.

At nine missions and just five hours, Battlefield 6’s campaign’s flame doesn’t burn for long, and it doesn’t burn particularly bright in that time, either.

Its not too late to break contract with whoever you're using for your marketing campaign btw. Hire a firm that doesn't produce BS that drives your community away.

eSafety commissioner: "Its got 4 in the name, see? That means it HAS to be suitable for children, right?"

If the era is "Kill off GDC because it's past it's prime." I agree.

GDC should be crushed without mercy.

Ubisoft as a corporation are cowardly little bitches.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I’m an aggressively save then alt-F4 kinda guy depending on the game.

Right now, I'm trying to build my first ever MTG commander deck.

None of you are allowed to doom scroll today.
See a shitty thing? Move on and go find something pretty to look at.
Whatever you enjoy admiring in life, that's the thing that you devote your attention to today. Photos, art, movies, album covers, video games, the sky, nature.
Look at that instead.

As you were talking about this stuff, I wanted to search for this indie that's doing some great things with damage numbers and the like. I thought it'd take ages, but nope, there it was two posts down. :)

I'm very sorry to hear this Cindy. It's never easy losing a friend like this. No doubt he had his best life with you. My condolences.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a statement put out, then less than a day later, a shittier counter statement that triples down on supporting this shitty author.
The PR response was painfully slow and was handled HORRIBLY.

Tasted like tea.

Adam. Pottery beard. @thatbeardoadam.bsky.social · 2d

Yes, I know i says black tea but ehhh...

Adam. Pottery beard. @thatbeardoadam.bsky.social · 2d

I don't know why, but this immediately made me want to rewatch the anime movie Wings of Honneamise again.

Making myself some Jean Luc Picard-ass tea and some cheese&pesto toast.
