Really enjoyed playing Epigraph with @huetwo.art on stream last night. Language puzzles are some of my very favourite kinds of games, and this one is great. I figured out one of the puzzles on a whiteboard this afternoon and can't wait to get back to it and see how it moves us forward. 👀

Laughing because you and Dee both did the same thing with your graphics and it's a delight.

1. Translating writing is not just about the words used, but about localization and interpreting intent, cultural context, idiomatic expressions, etc. 2. Empower creators to create comics. 3. Pay human interpreters. 4. Fuck AI.

I am so far behind on my reading goals this year. Definitely will not be getting close to last year. But I just added a bunch of spooky liminal horror to my TBR list that I am very excited about, so things are looking up. 👀

Totally get this. Most days, I can't fathom being social after work because I am so drained from the day. I am nigh useless to my family when I get home.

Changing perspectives and storylines between sessions was really neat to experience. We had very different experiences on each side of the campaign. Everyone died, A+ storytelling, would die in space with these beauties again.

For the curious: we used two different systems, Orbital Blues for the planet-side story and Mothership for the station. In hindsight, we liked the vibes of OB, but weren't really telling the right kind of story to really leverage the mechanics. We could've used MS for both.

Tonight I finished a short sci-fi campaign with four of the best TTRPG players I've had the pleasure of telling stories with. We each played two characters, alternating between a planet and a space station facing the same crisis. It was extremely cool and I am lucky to have such talented friends. 💜

Ahh, the problem with being a SFF fan... 😂 I haven't read this one, but just finished "Katabasis" and really enjoyed it. A friend of mine said this was her least favourite of Kuang's work, so if it doesn't click for you, maybe try one of the others!

This headline was certainly a fucking choice. Resurfacing on social media in the midst of all of this probably isn't the 2026 vibe I should be manifesting, but it's the one I've got.

A screenshot from the official Reuters account shows a photo of Nicolas Maduro speaking to military, accompanied by the headline, "Nicolas Maduro's heavy-handed rule in Venezuela is finally ended by Trump"

Fan Expo day 4! So much great cosplay today. My fave has been Helly R, and I swear it's not just because she gave me a perk. 🤭 Other highlights have been all the E33 Baguette crews, the indie game rep with In Stars and Time, and all the Apothecary Diaries. 💜 #FanExpoToronto #FanExpoCanada #FanExpo

Two "Lumon" branded boxes on a table behind a collection of small items. There is a small lamb figurine, a plastic waffle, a Severance sticker, a purple and tan finger trap, and a Rice Krispies square. The boxes are labelled with the cosplayer's social media account: @beastbunni.cos

I sent a complaint to FanExpo Canada, and would encourage other creators to not attend their shows until FanExpo decides to be smart and actually keep all genAI garbage out of their shows, god fucking damn whatever Bell Canada or whatever says. It's the enemy - why would we want it there?

Day 2 of #FanExpoCanada. Very taken with these "lil guys in jars" that I bought from Earth Token (earth_token on IG). LOOK at them.

Two small jars with clay creatures inside. One is a little orange flame with beady black eyes. The other is a dark blue octopus with turquoise eyes.

We are ready!! @huetwo.art genuinely has so much different art that we struggled to get it all on display. @nekoama.bsky.social has all kinds of Sharkpups and stickers and prints and POST-ITS. And I have like... a dozen dice bags shoved in the corner. Woo, me. 🤣 Let's do this, #FanExpo.

Documenting @nekoama.bsky.social bringing the Sharkpups to life for SCIENCE. But mostly because look at them, they're perfect. Anyway, we're here at #FanExpo at booth AP22 (near the pizza) and while I have nothing to do with the Sharkpups except transportation and fawning, I need you to buy them.

Well. I can't say I'm bringing much to Fan Expo except my personality and a small handful of bags. But!! I will talk up my wife's art!! Which is really what I'm there for anyway. Expedition 33! Dandadan! Frieren! Arcane! Dungeon Meshi! Dragon Age! Mass Effect! Such art. Come say hi. :>

Unexpectedly have a day off to get some good sewing done for Fan Expo and of course this is how I discover that I, in fact, have no particularly good lining fabric for any of these dice bags.

Tonight I made a photomoji of Buff Kirby just to see if I could and it is the single greatest thing* I've ever made. I will now be reacting to all texts with this for the foreseeable future. *Slight exaggeration. I have two children. They are probably superior to Buff Kirby Photomoji.

Oh hey, my wife is doing a stream! Come watch her clean up a Frieren piece! You can't see or hear me, but I'm secretly in the same room, merrily cutting out fabric and laminating bookmarks, like you do. Sapphic craft night. It's a thing.

Sewing prep for Fan Expo begins anew. Tonight: cutting out zip pouch pieces from such delightful fabrics as these chaotic possums and super happy sushi. Tragically, I don't have enough of these to also make dice bags from them.
