Sounds like every social media platform, really. Thankfully bsky has great self-moderation tools to keep you in control of what you see

Flashing screen warning (near the end)! I've been working on spell casting in the overworld. Trying to keep it accurate but will allow disabling screen flashes in-game. And yes, we have a spell called "Poof".

This feels like its becoming hostile. Just saying this was avoidable and nobody should ever make or connect a MS account to Windows

Okay, but the topic is using Windows, not applying to a job at Microsoft.

You also don't have to give them an email or make a Microsoft account

I love when something I create makes someone else happy or even just brightens their day.

One goal of mine is to be able to show my work in-person some day. Being able to witness people's raw reactions to it would be super motivating I think

Still, best of luck! I had one of mine removed a couple weeks ago. Finding things to eat during the initial healing process sucked. Went through a lot of soup and mashed potatoes for the first week

Some nights, sadness comes when sleepiness sets in. It makes me feel oddly creative. As if I need to express those feelings artistically before I fall asleep and they fade away. Tonight isn't one of those nights thankfully, but I wonder how many others experience something similar.

screenshot featuring a couple of cute stegosaurs approaching a cycad. one is not close enough yet so they are crying. the species caption reads:

STEGOSAURUS
Avoids other stegosaurs.
Always hungry for cycads.

"Ah, yes. I see it! Your journey is blessed with fortune and boundless potential!"

This one was really fun and I'm super happy with the way the holofoil effect came out. The lighting effects are all animations and their playback is automated in code.

I once had a fish who had a crown-shaped lump on his head. We called him "Prince Banan". I wonder what he's up to in that big aquarium in the sky
