Vintage story can be such a beautiful game (With a few mods :x)

Here they are in the dice tray :3

The aforementioned dice tray along with a couple of the handmade dice. They are kind of starry because of the glitter and a reddish purple hue, slightly transluscent with a 19 on the die.

My current dice in active rotation, the handmade dice set is included along with a set of opal gemstone dice and a set of dice with tiny owlbears on the inside.

Two misfit dice are an orange d20, that was my first ever dice for dnd a red d6 that is from a dice swap with my origj al dnd group after our last session

So im like 90% sure this is just a lie by sega for dmg control cause idk about you guys but i would not design a restaurant sign like this if i got to make one for a game. Kinda hard to be like "we just used it for ideas and made it all by hand" cause if thats your handmade work then yikes.

A taxi from the new sloppy crazy taxi with zoro in the driver seat and some pizza guy in the back idk it doesnt really matter the next picture does

A close up of the "hot spoon theory" sign in the background which is littered with tangencies, uninspired and uh, thats not the shape of a spoon.

Just finished my first sewing projects that was entirely for me. Not a costume for the fire or Halloween, not a gift, or not just to learn and not use. And it was a bag! :) it turned out so good I just want to share, and my roommate is telling me to try and do commissions cause she loves it

A bag made of scrap fabric patches and patches that say flogging molly with a skull and crossed swords and a box of matches that has "if we burn, they burn. General strike" on it

The inside of the bag, with a Keith harring patch of see no evil, hear no.evil, speak no evil a cascadia patch with a Douglas fir over blue white and green bars and a patch that says the rich are the only dangerous minority. These patches are pockets!!! And are holding various items

The front flap and cover of the bag with a rose with an eyeball in its center a match patch and a patch with a deer that says "nature is sick as hell"

Why not, last 4 game I played. Got a pretty crazy spread here tbh. I also filtered out friendslop/competitive games

Vintage story, a game made by former Minecraft modders that is a game that feels like a spiritual successor to Minecraft with more involved survival mechanics. Really good, highly recommend. come join the server I'm playing on :P

I've been getting myself to draw again, and trying to find a style/ emulate some styles I like. I feel like I struggle with getting really sharp & effective line weights and facial features down. So that was the focus of this practice for me :) (Inc. images by @simzart.bsky.social for inspo/ref)@

Sharing a favorite political cartoon of mine that I've kept saved because of how true it remains to be today. Trans rights are important regardless of whether you directly support or do not support trans people. The freedom of bodily autonomy and the pursuit of happiness are inalienable.

A row of large blocks set up like dominos with people behind each one, some people are rushing to the front to support the first one which is trans flag painted and has "trans rights" written on it, while the ones behind it are other issues that are at risk when we sacrifice one group of human rights such as women's rights and free love, gay rights and freedom of expression, free speech and democracy.

Four videogames from my childhood that defined my taste in gaming... (i know, I'm a monster. Was probably too young to be playing Hl2.)

The cover to Sim City 4, the words Sim city are layered Infront of a 4 which is layered Infront of a densely packed of skyscrapers

The cover to Jak and Daxter the precursor legacy.

A dork wearing a blue tunic with a ring and armguards and goku hair stands with a orange rodent on his shoulder.

The cover to half life 2- A man with a short beard, square glasses and green eyes stares piercingly at the viewer. Did you know Gordon Freeman was based off Gabe Newell? It's basically his self-insert OC.

Age of Empires II: the age of kings cover. Three men stare amidst a field of medieval sights in bluetones. One is a samurai, one is a viking(?) and the other is some dork wearing a crown.

I'm a sucker for a silly quiz and i have seen this adorable one going around & I need to embrace whimsy rn. I also feel like the results of this one were pretty spot on! quiz link: poomang.com/en/t/squid_t...

the results of the squid quiz-

a salmon-red colored quid called a "wobbly squid" is atop a placard with a squidified version of the name i entered. (gwen)

below it says that the wobbly squid is:
"fragile but resilient"
"self conscious"
"full of charm"
"reaction pro"
"life may shake you"
"empathetic"
"a bit indecisive"
"warm"
and "easily swayed"

not linking to a post on this one- the original poster has the Transmisogyny tag from the labeler so heck them. But come on. my dude. I would spell check things that are going to be viewed by the public at large. congress is not your skyline, you can't have blatant typos and just hit "post".

poster held at a congressional meeting, has blatant mispelling of Military while critiqueing DEI, diversity equity and inclusion, programs.

the only DEI hire in the room is the smelly old white man who cant write and has an unproved ability to read.
