Reposted by BexJustin Oaksford @justinoaksford.bsky.social · 09/10/2026pardon my old ass PC video framerate making it look ugly here but good god the combat in Usual June is satisfying. some of the better limited frame animation + FX I feel like I've played. 24813
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026And you have to take it out while it still is moving like an effing half unset jello. This would be a hilarious technical. omg. Even my imagination can't handle this. 030
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Everyone like me is like- I've been baking that since I was 10 years old BUT that pie is a nightmare recipe with too much liquid and heat changes mid bake that are required and then the damn thing will split if you over bake it (or be soggy and damp and unset if you under bake it) 110
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Everytime they do pies/tarts (or bake desserts with vegetables) on Bake Off, I am on the edge of my seat hoping against hope that one of them attempts a pumpkin pie. I would kinda do anything to see them attempt to get that unwieldy soufflé-esque thing to set properly using fresh ingredients. 120
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026But also- we make a lot of cookies. So many different types and none of them look like Crumbl cookies. The molds sent me. Anyways- that portion ranked up there with the tacos. And when they made those bakers make naan in fire pits. Signed- someone who's been making american cookies since she was 8 120
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Remember when they made american brownies- and it was a big deal for them to sort out how not to overbake them? Like brownies are weird- you gotta pull them out right as they set and not a bit longer. Same with cookies- they finish cooking and setting on the hot pan depending on the type. 120
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I would have been fine with all of the ingredients (cherries? In a cookie? wtf?) But like- it was the insane size/shape and bakes on them that made me crazy. And Paul had the audacity to say it was too gooey in the center. My dude. That IS an American cookie. 130
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I've been meaning to complain about this since Friday... It's Great British Bake Off time in the states again- Second episode on Friday and they make "American cookies." I nearly died- I have no idea what they were making but none of them were in any way shape or form an "American cookie" 141

Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 06/10/2026hahaha yes these too. they are nothing compared to the cleats though. 000
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I do not know how you have so many pairs and are not cleat-skunked out of the house. Our boys boots are rancid and hellish... and I keep thinking that your kiddo is maybe still too young to have cleats that smell like a combination vinegar and pee and a garbage truck. 200
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 05/10/2026My fave part of this is the boots- because I don't have to see any effing boots in my house, I simply walk into the kitchen, 15 feet away from the shoe and bag pile and I am like GET THE DAMN BOOTS OUT OF MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW. I can smell them and the rule is they are stored in the garage. 110
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026likely sorry- if I have to wear a compression suit like air force fighter pilots or effing astronauts, to even stay conscious, MAAAYYYBBEEEE it's a bad idea. 010
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I was youngish when the Millenium Force opened at Cedar Point. Which goes 93mph and has something like 4.5gs of positive force on the body. I black out on the first big curve- which is fast af and tight af. I had to squeeze my thighs and body to keep blood where it needed to be. 100

Reposted by Bexneighborhood01.bsky.social @neighborhood01.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I legit think 868-BACK is GOTY as much as I’ve enjoyed some other games this year. Crazy amounts of strategic depth and so many interesting interactions among the various devs and progs. 1217
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This is the same dude who confidently said *out loud* that as a... *checks notes again*... grown ass man, he does not know nor need to know his own home address... Right? 1120

Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I went to two weddings recently and I just gotta say- I was so delighted that when the officiant said to put away the phones, EVERYONE did. And no one posted photos until the wedding couple did. It has been the most impressive adherence to the equivalent of a press embargo ever. 1100

Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Yes, my boy-children make fun of me for my hands, tiny feet and tiny controller. But they are allowed to do this since they are *my* teen-boy children and they are both now much taller than me. Which they obviously think is hilarious. Everyone else who thinks this is lame can go jump in the sea. 010
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I would have mini versions of controllers for every single console if I could get my hands on them. People, aka dudes mostly, are like- ugh those are for kids (blah blah) and I am like HALF OF THE HUMAN POPULATION ARE SMALLER THAN YOU. And I am not smaller! But my effing hands are. Thanks mom. 120
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Easy- I have yelled about this. I am 5'9" (175cm) but I have very small hands (like my mom is 5'3", 160cm, and we have the same sized hands and feet) I love my wireless nano controller and my hands don't get fatigued and sore when I use it. I simply do not play if I have to use a normal controller. 340

Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 20/08/2026You can search by low SES schools- you can fund snacks, personal hygiene supplies, art supplies, backpacks, winter coats/hats/mittens, books, etc etc etc. You don't have to give a lot to make a difference. Both as Finji and as an individual we try to find local school campaigns to support. 000
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Related- sometimes you may not be sure how to support local communities in need. Heads up- it's back to school time in whatever city you live in. And in the states you can go on fundraising sites, like DonorsChoose, etc, and find a local school campaign to support. 100
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 20/08/2026If anyone is like "I wish I could support a local high school soccer team that is poor and under-funded and is fundraising for things that all of the other well-funded schools get as a baseline (like practice kits).

Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Tater tots do not represent my heart. However, I did name my starter grookey Tater Tot because I thought it was funny. And... I also just had to search "pokemon starter monkey" because in my head that pokemon has always been called Tater Tot and I forgot it had a real name. 020

Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 15/08/2026that might be weird- that I choke up watching sports- but watching Simone Biles, Sydney Mclaughlin-Levrone, Ilia Malinin, Allyson Felix, Rose Lavelle, Temwa Tchawinga, Jordynn Dudley, Cucherella (don't come at me- I love him)... but like- just watch them move. It's just beautiful. 110
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 15/08/2026After the Cabo Verde v Spain game, I ordered my yellow Vozinha jersey from Capelli Sport. It was the wildest game I had ever witnessed until the Cabo Verde v Argentina game. I can count on one hand the athletes who make me feel like crying (in joy) when I watch them. I got my jersey yesterday <3 150
Bex @bexsaltsman.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I would really like to move the *not small amount* of wishlists in any themed visibility round to players looking for a narrative game. The popularity of this game just keeps going- we get an influx of new fans year after year. But like- everything is defined too narrowly to include it. Its bananas 020
