• Been making sandwiches with air-fried onions and jalapeño • Fried jalapeño is great now that I have some capsaicin resistance • Hmm I have two jalapeños left but only one bun • Guess we're making a dual-jalapeño burger • Aware in advance that this is a mistake • Ate it • Can't taste ANYTHING

Holding my stuffies like men hold fish in pictures 🎣 happy pride 🌈

I knew my stash of googly eyes would be of use one day #MakeaTerribleComicDay2025

If you're about to post something mean about Andrew Cuomo, I urge you to pause, take a deep breath, and think of something even meaner.

• I need to go to bed for an early doctor appointment • Dammit I checked Bluesky before bed and forgot there was the NYC mayor's race and now I'm gonna have THAT keeping me awake • Oh wait everyone is throwing a Cuomo-is-over party??? That's MUCH easier to sleep on • Good job NYC proud of y'all

• Chew (Feed) • Methane (Fire Breathing) • Barn Doors (Barricade) • Chicago Fire (Immolate)

Ramiel has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

What was that meme of someone said they went to school like everyone else but then had to say they went to private school Put that meme with "I didn't just win with attack scaling! I won a round with conduit scaling!" "Did you really?" "Well... The conduit scaling gave me a 350x2 mageblade."

I usually kinda ignore "item description lore" in soulslikes, but there's an incredibly cool moment in Lies of P where you're wandering through a train station that's clearly had something terrible happen to it, and then you kill this big mutated boss monster and it drops this amulet

OK, here is your one-minute primer on the whole concept of "trickle down economics," from the obituary of Fred Smith, the founder of Fedex. I mean, if you still can't see it, I have no hope for you.

I'm starting to hate Monster Train 2. Multiple runs in a row where I thought I was steamrolling and then lost 80% of my health to Seraph because I couldn't scale fast enough to kill two 500-health enemies at once and it was impossible to kill the end boss after that.

Oh no I need to try them all now, why would you do this to me on my week off when I was meant to be productive

I'm grateful to everyone who has something to say about today. I don't really have anything more to say about today. I lived through the GWB administration, and we're just doing that again. How do nations ever learn anything?

I've been listening to Mr. Lif again lately and his 2000s-era stuff is uhhhhhh way too relevant right now

I don't plug my gaming channel often, but I just did a pride month video on trans Pokémon history! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNMW...

I know I’m doing something right when Emily gets excited over new art for our favorite game! We loved exploring the variety of media and styles in the Wingspan Fan Art Pack. Watercolors! Embroidery! Even an Etch-a-Sketch by @jonathanhliu.bsky.social!

This is the smartest damn thing I’ve heard all year. If nothing else, it might serve to erode employers‘ trust in ChatGPT.

I sure do love Monster Train 2, where they've tweaked the mechanics so that there are more viable strategies than just stacking attack damage as hard as possible (Loses 5 games in a row because he can't scale fast enough to kill a 500-health enemy in the first 3 floors)

Conservatives did such a great job of making us forget that George W. Bush existed that we've completely forgotten about "you're either with us or against us."

Hey look @stonemaiergames.com was on CNN (illustrated by some boardgames you might recognize): "If we shipped all the games to the US that we started making in January, it would amount to around $1.5 million in tariffs."

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Must remember to keep writing or those kids will catch up with me. They may even use the ChatGPTs to do it.
