I just noticed that I need four life-sized skeletons. For. Reasons.

There are certainly worse fates than sharing a name with a Faux News personality, like being in a car crash, or chronic pain, or living in the year 2026 or something. But every time it comes up...

It's early for fall colors but the ash trees have their shit together.

I found cats in the last two spooky games I played. You know, taking care of the important stuff.

So happy with how this came out. Been in my head for about a decade. Five minutes, free, in-browser, requires audio you can hear. It's a bit of what you expect, and so much of what you absolutely do not. skiesoffight.com Don't spoil it, just play! #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming

Once I was in line at a haunted house with a haunt-veteran friend, just us and two extremely scared girls ahead of us. One asked us if we'd been before and if it was scary. I said, "It was pretty scary back when I was alive," and they screamed, and iata but it's still funny to this day.

Money's tight so I probably won't go to a haunted house this year, but I will continue to daydream about making one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LWZ...

OK yes it basically looks like this year round, but pumpkin! Because Halloween.

Square cubby shelves holding various figurines, mostly with a dark or Gothic aesthetic, except a tiny pumpkin added to the lower right cubby shelf.

Here's what it's supposed to look like. I will say, though, not measuring out spices and going a bit overboard on the red pepper flakes, this actually tastes amazing. mymoonstonekitchen.com/blog/roasted...

Smoky Plague Doctor says calm tf down. Sure the world is on fire and the job search is exhausting and everything in your life is exploding all at once. But you don't have the plague, so at least there's that.

I watched Signs recently, because scary corn, but then yesterday I heard it described as "a feel-good" movie, and that sure is a way to describe a story about an alien invasion being paused because they forgot their rain coats when invading a world where the surface is over 70% water.

My slightly improving coffee game. Maple pecan today.

I'm not a fan of most "cute" takes on Halloween. But the best fall bonfire smoky candle I could find... looks like this. I feel kinda cheated.

Lit candle in glass colored black with cartoon stars and cute dancing skeletons on it.

My favorite coffee shop's seasonal menu has an "apple butter chai" and if I ever figure out how to make it, I might even stop drinking coffee.

Early in development on The Killing Stone, I read a ton of folk tales. That's how I encountered this very short ghost story. I was reminded of it this morning for unrelated reasons, but hey, getting reminded of a ghost story during spooky season is fine by me. www.gutenberg.org/files/37193/...

Found this at an apple orchard today. I'm gonna have apple cider coffee, and caramel apple coffee, and apple pie coffee, and any other fall coffee nonsense I can think of.

TIL there's a such thing as a Bratoberfest pizza and I want more of it.

I like to listen to mellow ambience videos while I work, and today I found a really good one. 🍂 helps me pretend it's fall while it's too freakin' hot outside 🎻 musical but not distracting 👻 vaguely spooky 🪟 looks like a view from a window (my weird preference) 🚫 no AI youtu.be/xiBGf-tMokQ
