I can't recommend Bodark's work highly enough, please consider for any animal-immortalizing needs you may have!! @bodark.bsky.social thanks again for this Monsterpiece. I'm bad about posting but I'll definitely share pics when we get it hung! (also, here's the shot this commission was based on!)
Monster, a brown tabby with light green eyes, sits in a kitchen divider.  She is slightly pigeon-toed in front of a small ramekin of water, regarding the viewer with a head tilt that may be curiosity or fondness.  She's a little scrungly with it.  A slightly messy apartment is visible, albeit blurry, in the background.

this is an enormous part of why I will never voluntarily give nintendo money, will fully endorse piracy of their games, and think it's fine to judge someone for blind consumerism when it comes to their products even though there's (for some reason) a stigma against doing so in general.

I can't post about the way this makes me feel because I'd get suspended. I can't post about what it makes me want to do because I'd get suspended. I'm so glad the motherfuckers who never shut up about free speech are in charge now. liberty oozes from my veins, making another substance quite jealous.

it's early yet but I'm really impressed by Professor Moss Roberts's translation of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. between the approachable, flowing prose and the incredibly thorough annotations, it might be the edition I come to recommend to curious newcomers.

bit Generation: Dotstream (GBA) is my kind of racing game, very interesting paring-down of the genre. I really recommend killing an hour or two with it, it's easy to pick up and put down!

after giving her two books' worth of a shot (Brother, The Devil Crept In) I've concluded I'm not into Ania Ahlborn. insensitive, exploitive fiction that is, moreover, a pretty dull read. it's like revisiting mid-80s Stephen King, but only the parts you forgot because they're boring or offensive.

since my hospitalization, as a kind of joke just for myself, I've been playing a lot of games with "blood" in the title (blood omen: legacy of kain, blood of bahamut, etc) and I am completely blown away by Blood Will Tell (PS2, 2004), based on Osamu Tezuka's manga Dororo. 10/10 for me specifically.

please calculate on your own the odds of rolling 8 across 2d6 four consecutive times. they are so microscopically low I already found myself extensively second-guessing my understanding of probability and how to calculate it. then (are you seated?) let me blow your fucking mind (continued below)

"did she forget the actual name of the game or something?" quite the opposite, my friends.
cardboard box packaging for "wooden shut the box dice game" by Juegoat.

the last 3 rounds of wooden shut the box dice game have been like " @mibetaur.bsky.social rolls an 8, closing the 8 slat. Ganymede rolls an 8, opening the 8 slat. mibetaur rolls an 8, closing the 8 slat." very funny temp stalemate for a game we already play slowly over a period of weeks
a wooden shut the box dice game sits on a glass tabletop.  the purple dice in the center total 8, and all the slats on the side of active play are in the down position except 6, 7, 9 and 10.

I'm sooo late with mail that I just now found this adorable envelope from @ingridblythe.bsky.social! I can't wait to get home and open it. Just having it in my possession is already brightening my day.
A white envelope held between thumb and forefinger.  The background is the passenger side of a car, a tree-lined road visible through the windshield.  The envelope is held with the address side facing away from the camera, and it is sealed with decorative tape covered in decals of various bird pokemon drawn as featureful little orbs.  From left to right, the tape features hoothoot, starly, chatot, pidove, rufflet, taillow, pikipek, rookidee, pidgey and natu.

wow turns out there WAS a movie, it bombed terribly and I found a director quote from when it was being focus-grouped to death. if the book had ended like the movie I'd be writing some followup like "darn, Scott Smith didn't stick the landing." you even SAY you love it! trust artistic instincts!
wikipedia excerpt: 

Director Carter Smith told an interviewer, "We shot a bunch of different stuff to see which one would work best with the finished film. There's a testing process you go through with a studio movie and as frustrating as it can be, it also really gives you a good sense of how an audience feels about an ending. Our final decision was informed by what audiences found the most satisfying after watching a really punishing film. I love the ending of the book, but if the movie had ended the same way, the audience would have wanted to kill themselves."[2]

Wilmot Works It Out is an interesting followup to Wilmot's Warehouse, and a delightfully fresh take on blind-box jigsaw puzzles that doesn't overstay its welcome or seek to reinvent the wheel. Alas, it's as susceptible as any other game to the devastating it's/its mixup.
A screenshot from Wilmot Works It Out (PC).  Most of Wilmot's room is visible, but the dialogue box is the only noteworthy thing in the shot.  Sam the Postwoman comprises the left third of the box, her name label above, and below are the options "Ask about her holiday" and "Take Delivery."  Dialogue occupying the rest of the box is as follows:

"Morning Wilmot, here's your Puzzle Club post, with it's familiar rattle...

Oh hey, did you get the puzzle I sent you from my holiday?  I was so happy with that catch - the first Lesser Mountain Ringlet I've ever seen alive!

Of course I release them afterwards..."

only halfway through but I'm really enjoying The Ruins by Scott Smith. it's the kind of horror novel where the fear lives in the planning, presumptive knowledge of a worst case scenario, the outer bounds of that scenario shifting abruptly, and the feeling of being unable to escape it.

Ganymede @ganymede.bsky.social · 28/12/2025
watched some of dispatch and holy *shit* should telltale have stayed dead. superhero schlock at its least inspired, with exactly the kind of tired whedon-esque dialogue and sensibilities you'd expect from such fare. your time is better spent on a game with gameplay.
