I'm so excited for these! I think they might be my favorite ones so far. Partially because I love Ball so much, but also I like that they have the podcast name on them

The theory is that it was a fire alarm. Apparently they had a false alarm earlier in the week, too

I say "look at this cat" so often that I now have to clarify to my husband whether I actually want him to look at the cat or I'm just being rhetorical.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Went to a convention in one of the booths had a bunch of ffxiv merch including some Ardbert stuff. My husband and I were both holding our tongues the whole time trying not to make a sarcastic comment about him because clearly the artist liked him.

This hat is single-handedly why I became a dancer main

I made a the Grink joke in front of my mom and she wanted me to explain it. How does one convey perfection? I told her "oh. It's just, like....an internet joke...."

Two drawings and two small photos of the cat, Pyaari. The drawing on the left is wearing a blue dupatta. The drawing on the right is in a gold sari with a dupatta on the head.

Pyaari is so decent 🥺

The story is largely about two teenagers exploring their first experiences with feelings of lust. Sure, there is also fan service that happens in the telling of that story. But teens DO experience sexual feelings, and it would be silly to pretend they don't. It makes me nostalgic about my teen years

When I first met Laurentius in FFXIV, I wanted to murder him. I was so mad I didn't kill him at the end of that first quest. I'm now in the post-heavensward quests, and you know what? I was right. Multiple times. Eorzea would be better off if I had killed that piece of shit the first time.

It's going to be tempting to come on here after the direct and say things like "I hope they do this" or "they NEED to do that," but remember:

Oh hey, it's me and my husband

Oh, and I forgot to mention, since it's through the library, it's free

I haven't done the Spanish course, but there is a system called Transparent through the library (check if it's available through your library system) that I used to start learning Japanese and I loved it! The Japanese course wasn't super long, but I'm still glad I did it.

I do not like the idea that Marge and I are the same age

Can I throw my little baby against the wall so much that they go to hell?

@pandagm.com Hi! I'm going to GenCon, but didn't get into your "crash course to game manufacturing" panel. Any chance it will be recorded and posted online at some point?

The shoe rain really kills me

If I went to space without a space suit, would I look like a blobfish on the surface?

Oof, I don't understand how any adult changes insurance without calling the new place and specifically asking if everything they need is covered. It's obnoxious, and they tell me the info is on the website, but everything is written to be purposefully inscrutable

Racism aside for a moment, I don't understand why anyone would train an AI to talk like an insufferable troll

You should leak all the stuff you were working on and no I'm not joking

None of the huge game publishers care about you or the work you did before they laid you off and if it's never seen how are you meant to find more work?

Today, I was suddenly hit with period cramps so intense I felt like I was going to throw up and pass out from the pain, and it didn't stop after 3 ibuprofen. My period cramps are typically very mild. I considered going to urgent care, but what's the point? They'll say "It's just period pain"

Because each generation must find something their parents don't understand

It's so so good and I was thrilled to learn that I've gained a lot of restraint since my old RuneScape/WoW days...but I'lI still have played hundreds of hours in the past few months since I started. I am very glad to have started with friends (a group of 4 people is ideal)

This is giving big 2003 "we swear Iraq has weapons of mass destruction" (they didn't) vibes
