A selfie of a tired but slightly smiling person in glasses, wearing a black knitted cap and a black shirt, with a yellow, grey, and white plaid button-up worn unbuttoned. Behind them is a sketched wall hanging in green, highlighting plants and flowers, adorning a beigeish-green wall.

A selfie of a person in glasses flashing a peace symbol with their free hand while they smile proudly at the camera. They are adorned in colorful beads wrapped around their wrist and also a strand of them serving to tie the edges of a nonbinary pride flag around their shoulders like a cape. They otherwise wear a forest green tank top, a small shoulder-slung black bag, and are wearing flip flops while they stand in a cordoned event area in a parking lot.

A selfie of a person in glasses and a black knitted cap, taken in a mirror while bearing an expression of "it is what it is". They're dressed for winter in a black Destiny raid jacket for Root of Nightmares, which is opened to reveal a T-shirt with Lune from Expedition 33 on it. They stand at ease, one hand in their front pocket while they aim the selfie camera with their other.

had to do a double-take at ohio being like "hey we're canceling the siren tests tomorrow because a tornado might actually be coming" because wow is it early in the year for that

and then i likewise did a double-take at seeing "also it might thundersnow or something. idk."

A photo of a wine tumbler scattered with constellations, filled with a purplish-blue water looking like the night sky. In the blurred background of the photo can be seen a trickster Halloween master of ceremonies Pikachu, a much less ominous Pikachu in a denim hat with a Pokeball and a red sweater, wielding a staff topped with a Pokeball and waving a red Gyarados banner. To the right is a Collector's Edition Statuette for Expedition 33, which features the grey monolith with the number 33 hauntingly painted on it in gold

Apropos of nothing, my household has exited its BLOODWATER era and entered a ✨ star water ✨ one because it whoops I can't remember what flavor of crystal lite I bought prior

I can no longer meme at tabletop when a fight breaks out that I need to get ready by making BLOOD WATER, but this is nice too

A screenshot from the game Valheim taken while the player is taken on a snowy-mountainous slope, overlooking a misty horizon. The pink of a sunrise weaves its way through the shadows of trees and dawn overtakes the skies in the east, while the pale blue of day peaks in earnestly between cloud cover.

A screenshot from the game Valheim. It is dark and hard to make out very many details, but the player is in a rocky crevice with snow falling all around. They are crouching to hide, and a system message is in the process of disappearing, which says, "Wolf has been tamed."

A screenshot from the game Valheim where a player stands on a wetland slope in the Meadow biome, looking behind them toward a hut built on an island. Two tamed wolves are running full-bore toward a boar behind them, literal cloud dusts kicked up by their paws.

A screenshot from the game Valheim where a player in a cloak and horned helm stands on top of a thatched roof for a building in the Meadows biome, staring out over a sea and toward the horizon -- where a massive mountain reaching toward the heavens dominates the left side of the screen and is wreathed in clouds, and lower-rolling but still impressive slopes fill out the rest of the horizon. Some trees can even be seen at this distance - some dead and sprawling toward the sky, some evergreen, and some with willowing branches. It looks like the island beyond has a host of biomes.

On this episode of Valheim: There are two wolves in y--

In your camp.

And behind you, you suddenly notice an island that's impossible not to note, and yet it's the first time you've lifted your eyes that far up the horizon.

Next adventure target acquired 😤

"2 months with potential for extension" still bitterly feels a lot like "hey we're going to dangle this dollar on a fishing hook above your head and implicitly encourage you to work overcapacity to prove yourself over 6 weeks so we *might* extend you"

Nothing *says* that explicitly, sure. But.🙃

I honestly feel like I've just had a monkey's paw curl happen

I got a job offer! Very exciting, right? It's back in consulting, through a firm, and they came through at my asking rate rather than my floor rate

Aaaand then I got told the contract is actually two months rather than 6 months 🥲

i feel like it's a rite of passage to fail the tutorial - or exfil while downed

"And never forget we are capable of great things—we need to be. No matter all that has happened this year as we grapple with betrayals of the past and the predatory power grabs of the present, we must remember all the amazing things we can do in preparation of the future we will build together." ❤

RIP Highguard: In a better world, an FPS is allowed to be unpopular Highguard was not a dead game, it's being murdered.

Highguard was not a dead game, it's being murdered. Its only sin was not living up to expectations that only a dumb or spiritually bankrupt person would foist upon it. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ri...

last night in valheim: i decided to finally brave the swamp and map out some dungeon locations. i got turned around and ran north instead of south after taking a stack of poison damage i knew would kill me in the 18 seconds before it ran out.

i had full stamina. i full-on ran the wrong direction. 🥲

It’s launch day! Aaaaaah!

a post-match screen from the game Deadlock, which features the MVP player. it says the character Kelvin, played by rawniephen, was the MVP of the match with second-most kills at 11, assists at 2, ability kills at 7, and objective damage at 7.7k, and the most healing done at 33k! other key players were celeste with most assists at 25, and a 10-kill killstreak, and graves with most player damage at 27k, and kills overall at 12!

i finally loaded up deadlock recently in a last-ditch attempt to not download league again, and i'm finally starting to get the hang of it

felt really good to get this screen last night! 😤 very slowly getting used to a handful of characters - kelvin, rem, and celeste are my best ones so far

going to be thinking about tiến and helen's stories for a while after this. may all queer kids be as blessed; to be loved and shown it even when language fails to have the right words. may all moms like helen find an oasis among the oceans they're stretched between; their own place, their own peace.

@trungles.com found Magic Fish on the staff picks shelf at my library today when i dropped in to kill 10 mins - had to *immediately* come back and finish reading it once i finished my other task

thank you for sharing this story. had me crying and hoping many others get the chance to experience it 💜
