Looted this off a rare which, if it's the former, of course begs the question how /does/ a Snapdragon don pantaloons?

Snapdragon Pantaloons (a Leather item from World of Warcraft)
Item Level 151
Legs
39 Armor
+34 Intellect
+352 Stamina
+30 Critical Strike
+33 Versatility
+34 Agility
Durability 100/100
"Are they worn by or made of Snapdragons? We may never know."

Horse pants meme altered poorly to say:
" If a snapdragon wore pants, would they wear them... like this (waistband is horizontally around the body, covering all 4 legs) or like this (waistband is vertically around the belly covering only the back legs)?" with a snapdragon pasted over the horse head

Heyo GDC peeps, just wanted to flag that there are people going around taking photos of only female presenting people. This is mega suspicious, please say no if they approach you!

#WhatAGameDevLooksLike is coming back to GDC next week for its SIXTH year! Last year I wrote about the challenges of mass layoffs, online harassment, and lack of funding, and #WhatAGameDevLooksLike was a little beacon of joy and celebration of how brilliant, diverse, and kind our industry can be.

Great thread. My favorite first move is to LOUDLY narrate the inappropriate thing they're doing as if it's a question and you misunderstood "Wait, did you just ask me if I had a bf?" "Sorry, did you ask me to come to your hotel room?" Embarrass them. And a simple "Ew!" is a VERY powerful weapon

How many hours and/or attempts does it take someone deep in the throes of hyperfocus to eat a meal while it's hot? Today that number is 11 and 4, and includes throwing one dish out that sat in the microwave for 9 hours before burning through several attempts at another 🫠

Something I am realizing the longer I'm in the games industry is how much I cherish friendships that exist outside of the normal flow of time.

another day, another i describe what i do on the daily as a game designer, and someone says "wow, you do a lot!" followed by "sounds like you're an *xyz role that is definitively NOT designer*" this time it was *hisss* Product Manager my existential crisis as a developer continues 🙃

i've been off my adhd meds for almost 2 weeks because it's on backorder at the pharmacy with no known eta to refill. i hate how many times i've felt the need to apologize for potentially being more unhinged than usual because i haven't had to rein it in unassisted this much for this long in a while
