sowingshade.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Long ago, in halcyon days, I registered a domain for the purposes of creating... things for the internet. 'Twas the short-lived venture of an imaginative, yet entirely unskilled, child, but that daft name just reentered my thoughts for the first time in ~20 years... and it's available.

May the 4th be with all who celebrate! I love #StarWars. It is hope, it is joy, it is connection, it is direction. And, if you feel the same, then I love you too.

Every time I lose, it is on purpose. Each loss simply means I'm playing a more advanced version of chess. 4D. Then 8D. Then 64D. Then 720D. Is that not the right mathematical progression? Too bad, the chess number just went up. 40kD.

I’m left with a certain sinking feeling that says if the Nintendo delay picks up steam and points a lot of new fingers at Trump, the administration will vindictively start picking apart the whole industry under the guise of “video game violence is destroying the youth” or some such shit.

Bravo, Nintendo. Press C to pay respects.

Art in all its forms is an expression, not a commodity. Why should I or anyone care what a non-living thing has to say about being alive?

I want Nintendo to announce a localized Mother 3 on April 1, via the Nintendo Today(!) app, but I’ll settle for one of the fabled remasters/ports.

I can’t recall a similar triumph for games media any time recently. More than anything, I’m thrilled for the staff; they always deserved better.

Well, it took some patience (and a panicked, excessive expenditure), but I was able to secure tickets to see @nin.com in September. It’s long overdue.

With Zuck's villain turn I'm seeing lots of IRL friends and IG expats joining Bluesky which is amazing and I'm happy to have you all here! Thought I'd make a thread with bsky tips cause it can be a little overwhelming or lame at first but this site is actually amazing and I want y'all to stay! (1/?)

Promotion alert. But also -- celebration alert. I'm proud of this week's episodes of The Blathering LIVE. With so much going on the community around my show came together to talk (and occasionally) laugh through it. I don't have much to offer the world -- but I can offer a place to gather.

This damn thing was within reach, and that makes it hurt so much worse, but there was just too much to overcome (self-inflicted or otherwise). My love for this team endures. That is all. #Texans

A pretty extraordinary mismanagement of talent. How could anyone have thought putting nearly every egg in the live-service basket was a good idea?

This reveal feels more like a stopgap, to ease the tension surrounding leaks, rather than a proper sales pitch. It fails to capture the imagination or provide meaningful details, beyond form factor and the vague promise of mouse controls. But I'm glad it's finally out there in an official capacity.

I’m so proud of this team. This was a total ass-kicking, and I loved every minute of it.

This regular season wasn’t all that we hoped it could be, but I’ll never take 10 wins and a division championship for granted; every Texans fan knows things could be so much worse. And it’s always lovely to beat the Cosplayers. Now, let’s see if we can conjure up a little playoff magic.

If, like me, your mind, body, heart, and soul are forever bound to Thedas, then please consider joining me in supporting the @unofficialdaday.bsky.social fundraiser. This year's campaign is supporting the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and I cannot think of a more worthy cause. #DragonAgeDay
