unfortunately i have a phone clip attached to the top of my monitor, so it's not an option, lol...

i had no idea how medically i needed art of dot doing the skirt tug/pants leg tug thing until i saw that picture...

lately my problem with scrabble is i' keeping the board open. i'm confident in my ability to find words but i'll also end up making opportunistic high-scoring plays that feel like a good idea in the moment and then an entire corner of the board is totally unusable because i put "QAT" there

woogles dot io!

a scrabble board where i've played MARTENS through the triple word score on the right side, with the S hooking YIN.

a Newfoundland Pine Marten, a little brown and white mustelid with a funny little wet nose and whiskers who doesn't need to hit the triple word score to brighten your day.

this March 10th please appreciate the humble marten, which netted me 87 points in scrabble a few days ago

i was thinking about setting up the Wii today and we need to go back to CRTs. how are you supposed to balance anything on top of these razor-thin monitors

I've been watching Ruka play too much Fire Rock
Fingers were cold, but I needed to get it out of my system hahaha.
@rukawa-ruka.bsky.social

you're good

yeah, the incident that made me speak up was not banworthy luckily. but i cut stream basically immediately so people wouldn't accidentally spoil further stuff and decided i would make it clear after i cooled down a little bit

yeah, it's my favorite video game ever. i played it in formative years so it gets a massive buff because of that lol

i have a lot of blind spots for the genre too for sure. i haven't played live a live, dq5 or 6, breath of fire... just a lot of squaresoft stuff and also lufia 2

i was thinking it would be towards the beginning of a stream and then i might just start a new RPG after that. or maybe that's a bad idea because it's a tough act to follow

oh nah i'm doing that shit on stream

you might be aware i've sort of cooled down on chrono trigger over the years lol. i still love it but its star has fallen just a bit for me

A brown bunny hides its head behind a blue package with a tiger image on it.

i'm not like particularly a fan or a hater when it comes to nintendo but i'm honestly shocked that their like single JRPG on a system known for JRPGs completely blows away so so many games by companies that specialize in them. what an unbelievably great game

i really wonder where i'd put earthbound on the list of snes rpgs. it's definitely above ff5 and 6 for me and i think i would give it the nod over chrono trigger too. which i guess would make it second place behind ff4 for me? i haven't touched any of those sfc dragon quests yet though...

the thing to keep in mind is if you really want to have a completely unspoiled experience with a game you just shouldn't be playing it on a website whose defining feature is a chat room. not everyone will intuit your precise definition of "spoiler" and it's usually not their fault if they don't

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

anyway. it's not a big deal. took the wind out of my sails but i'll finish earthbound soon and luckily i cut stream before any real harm was done

it's not the end of the world lol

sometimes i feel the same way

it happens. but it usually means it's a good idea to just call the stream lol

the problem is the frequency with which people do that forgetting that there's a refight or something lol

if someone wonders out loud whether a fight they're on has a gimmick and you chat some shit like "i'm biting my tongue so hard right now" that is like 100% a spoiler. come on dude
