I am giving up social media for Lent (last year it was “social media on my phone”), so if you need me please find me on Discord or Email.

And if you don’t have those things, then you don’t need me. Much love to all of you.

Chance the beagle looks up at the camera with the saddest expression on her face

Chance the beagle looks up at the camera with the saddest expression on her face

Chance wants you all to know that she was such a BIG help while I made dinner (read: standing right where I was standing and trying to steal scraps from the floor) and it’s absolutely CRIMINAL that I didn’t give her a single bite

Never mind that I fed her before I started cooking, that’s irrelevant

We've finally come full circle. People are longing for less chatter dialogue in their games by referencing ocarina, a game that people consistently complained about Navi being too talkative to the point of it being a meme for 20 odd years.

A small gold-colored corgi holding big blue morning glories in their mouth. The flowers are all connected by wavy looping vines and heart-shaped leaves. The flowers are so big, they kind of resemble many balloons, or a giant umbrella.

For you! 💐 Still just messing around with a few inks.

Screenshot of what's apparently supposed to be a "git flow" chart from Microsoft learning materials.

It's full of bizarre spelling errors and fucked up diagram elements that make it pretty clear the thing was AI generated.

a man wearing a yellow shirt that says ' denver broncos ' on it Alt: John Cena peels back his face on a poster to reveal his real face just behind it. Then he asks, "Are you sure about that?"

Jen the Fredo, an episode from The IT Crowd. Problematic aspects of the show's production aside, I really loved it and remember enjoying this episode

Three panel comic. Panel 1: baby monkeys in overalls jumping on a bed, having fun. Panel 2: one of the monkeys falls over the edge of the bed, reaching out as he falls. Panel 3: one of the other monkeys, now looking super buff and badass, grabs him by the arm to save him heroically. “Monkey Stronger Together.”

Session 2 of Dungeon of the Mad Mage down. So many silly moments. So many notes tucked away for later. The sharpest knife is the one the players forge in front of you

I rarely do this, but I’m hoping I maybe have enough of a following here that someone can help: I need to get in contact with Donkey Kong. It’s urgent

Delita: Leave the princess with me.
Ramza: why?
Delita: she’ll be in so much danger if she goes with you.
Ramza: Okay, fair point. How will you keep her safe, then?
Delita: …actually you take her

Laughed out loud when I completed the last level of the flashback with Ramza leveling up to 6 on the kill (and my other three characters levels 4, 3, and 2) only to get gifted three new recruits at level 8. I may be a little underleveled.
