If you have time to spare for a foster cat or dog, it’s a huge help to your local shelter. There’s countless kittens and dogs who have lost owners, mothers, and could use someone willing to care for them, even for a short time, to show them the world isn’t a lonely place.

She is survived by 2 siblings that we were able to help (and are thriving), but her 2 other siblings who remained in the shelter passed a week earlier from the same symptoms.

She fought very hard, and I loved her very much. I didn’t realize she had passed until she was returned to the shelter and it was discovered she was losing more and more weight and they were forced to put her to sleep.

Amy passed on 7/29. She was a gentle, affectionate foster kitten who was struggling with several health issues.

I wanted to post here so she’s not forgotten, and that while she was here, she was loved. I wish she had gotten the lifetime of love she deserved.

Looks like Microsoft has another round of layoffs planned for August, about 1000 employees if the filing below is correct (they said there was going to be more, this is now dates and # of employees).

I'll have to check it out, I've enjoyed a lot of Sheridan's stuff, I doubt this will be any different (in a good way). I can't wait for the next season of Landman, too.

Of course! Glad I could help. : )

I believe it was Jeff Husges, although I did a questionable editing pass on it for consistency. Jeff doesn't get enough credit, he was one of the unsung heroes across many of our projects - very humble, quiet, and reliable.

Christine was intended as a homage to "Christina" from Wasteland 1, and Christina used this portrait (so black hair, cut short), which would have matched Christine. The picture below is from the remastered version, but it's the right look/appearance. : )

Today on a very special episode of Sesame Street, Elmo talks about the ABC's of two-factor authentication

I had no idea they were adding these - thanks for the heads-up! (I haven't played 76, so I haven't seen much of the content.)

Also, the animators who did the courier cat and bird with the hat (rhyme unintentional) is to be commended - the bird's expressions alone had me dying.

I can't believe I'm writing this, but K-Pop Demon Hunters on Netflix was one of the best movies I've seen in a while. The animators were clearly having fun - and as a bonus, the director/writer Chris Appelhans did concept work for #Fallout Van Buren. : )

And thanks to Seth McCaughey, who animated the Think Tank monitors to show expressions both on the monitor screens and even how they tilted their monitors to frown and look surprised <3

Great watch, highly recommended. Story takes no prisoners.

Sigh, time to turn in the nerd card

Putting a kitten bed by the keyboard has made video meetings much more bearable

Among the much-useless trivia I have absorbed across fantasy novels, the fact "Strider" (Aragorn) was almost named "Trotter" is one of them, and I am glad Tolkein chose the former.

Hey, thanks to you for the great radio dramas - they're so Fallout-y, I love them. : )

Much respect, Atton Rand, and thank you for helping save the galaxy - you will be remembered. :(

If there WAS a new #Fallout title, where would you want it to be set?

As a result of failing my saving throw vs Doomscroll, I spent an hour watching videos of angry chickens chasing kids.

The chicken revolution is brewing, just saying. That herbivore shit is a lie. Chickens would absolutely eat us if they could.

Latest single from my other passion project: Weird Wolves. Give it an ear ;) share if you like it. We’re on IG if you want to support us there.
