No stream tonight, but look forward to Friday! Body ended up a biiit achy, and my stomach's still a little funky, so I'm gonna be a good girl and rest up (and maybe curl up with some tea, a cute sheep, and some nostalgic games)

Or, y'know, my stomach could decide it's a great time to rebel -_- Might make this a late stream/backup game. I uh... Don't think I'm up for reading a bunch of dialogue tonight

I just realized the tag is on the "front" of the shirt I've been wearing all day. Did... I put it on backwards? But the print is on that side, so like, I *assumed* that was the front?

A fascinating little ring from the Punic necropolis on Ibiza. It depicts a bearded man in profile, but his hair and beard are composed of two birds (!), and his collar is a dolphin. 😮 The Punic inscription reads 'Belonging to Abdim'. 🏺 1/ 3rd-2nd c. BCE. #MuseoArqueológicoNacional 📸 me

It was a biiit dry. Not really spooky, so much as janky. Kinda had GMod or old TF2 vibes. Whiiich prooobably didn't put me in the right mindset to get "spooped" :P

First in a series of posts where I take a look back and celebrate games "officially" becoming retro! At least by my metric. 15+ years ago was a long time... November's gonna have a fun one. OvO

Is it Retro now? - October 13th "Might & Magic: Heroes VI" released 15 years ago today! Or... is it "Heroes of Might and Magic IV"? (Incidentally, am I the only one that mixed these up with a series of "Match 3" RPGs from the same era?)

We way or may not need to swap games. Settings menu is the pain in the tailfeathers to access, and I think I'm in the hidden short-stories directory instead of anywhere near a "config" file.

Still planning on a stream tonight! Just working on getting my energy up first! On the plus side, tomorrow's finally gonna be below 70. And then below 50. And then below... Um... Okay, the weather might be doing weird stuff right now. The important part is, I should be a little less roasted!

Halloween costumes for birders. This is from last year and someone actually did the sexy owl pellet one.

A comic called halloween costume ideas for birders. In panel 1, labeled easy, there's a person labeled northern cardinal wearing a party hat, a beak, and red clothes, and a person labeled roseate spoonbill wearing pink clothes and a wooden spoon on their nose. In panel 2, labeled harder, there's a person labeled merlin sound ID wearing a big green circle with a microphone modeled after the button on the merlin sound ID app, and a person labeled hybrid green x blue jay wearing a complex costume with a mask and robe and hat modeled after a recently discovered hybrid bird. In panel 3, labeled challenging, there's a person labeled baltimore oriole nest wearing an enormous accurate woven oriole nest suspended from their arms and shoulders, and a person labeled african jacana carrying chicks with a hideous costume of long-toed bird feet hanging from their armpits. In panel 4, labeled hot, there's a person labeled high quality spotting scope who is shirtless and is wearing a spotting scope mask on their head, and a person labeled sexy owl pellet wearing an owl pellet top and bottom with a mouse skull on their head.

It's officially pumpkin season, which happens to be a special treat for our ambassador wolves this time of year! 🎃🐺 Although wolves are classified as carnivores, they can sometimes have an omnivorous diet. Along with meat and eggs, wolves may also enjoy fruits like pumpkins. #wolffact
