Man, I legit love KDE desktop on Fedora. Every time I wonder if I can tweak a specific setting, add a button or customize something, some developer, somewhere added exactly the option I'm looking for - without fail. Such an awesome OS. I am never going back. #linux #fedora #KDE

Had an absolute BLAST in Edinburgh. Such a gorgeous city (recommend the Dean Village - Stockbridge walk should you get the chance!). The #CriticalRole live show was spectacular and hilarious - we even got to say hi to Liam O'Brien, and happened upon Sam Riegel out in the gorgeous Highlands. 🫶

Once in a while, I think about this bit of temp VO accidentally left in the Witcher 1, and it never ceases to make me laugh 😂 #TheWitcher #TheWyvernMeats

Critical Role Campaign 4 is on a whole other level - Brennan is a truly a master of his craft 🤯 Can't wait to see how the sundered houses get absolutely wrecked. Definitely gonna try to serve my players with cathartic equivalents in my campaigns going forward 🔥 #DnD #CriticalRole #C4

Bought a 3d printer and started learning how to paint terrain (or in this case, a tower!). Just came across this lovely shot as I was checking today's progress - it made me happy, so thought I'd share 😊 #3dprinting #dnd #dm

Surprised how much the layout of a page can affect the reading experience 📖 Compared to the digital books, the #ForgottenRealms hardcovers are so much more playful, tactile and fun to flick through. Didn't expect such contrast, /almost/ glad EU had 3-months delay. Newfound love for print! 🤩 #DnD

Gee, I wonder what the DM who hurriedly dubbed the D&D Multiverse “The Great Wheel" had for dinner that evening... It even has the little plastic stand that keeps the box from sagging 🍕😂 #D&D #dungeonmaster #ttrpg #multiverse

Last week, for the first time ever, we lost a player character in our D&D campaign. It took me by surprise how real & serious it felt. Genuinely a milestone that gave us all ✨the feels✨ - and yet another reason to love this fantastic hobby ❤️. #DND #D&D #characterdeath #hobby

Genuinely one of the most delightful #Lego sets ever made. Such a fun build - and it's crazy how accurate it feels, for something built out of Lego! Might be an all-time favourite ❤️‍🔥 #wall-e

Thank you for the kind words 👾 Getting something right from the get-go is /very/ rare - nearly every part of our maps sees multiple iterations. From minor tweaks to entire reworks. Playtesting helps us challenge our ideas - it's really fun! I would love to revisit the Kyoto basements!

Instagram’s “Friend Map” sounds like a fun way for friends to share their location. Unfortunately, Meta thinks your friends include Meta's own employees, advertisers, and cops. Here’s why & how to turn it off 🧵 1/5
