Atomic Bonds

Might I also suggest "Dragon's Wake" (2015) by Brainbox Software? Some of the best word-free storytelling I've ever experienced. I'd never cried about kobolds before, nor since, and you can run the whole thing in a couple of hours.

Full of Green Materia, got it!

I like this; it feels a bit Chrono Trigger, and that soundtrack is one of the best of the SNES era.

@icklenellierose.bsky.social — I got my copy of Blades in the Dark after watching your gang enjoy it, and I thought this might interest you as well. Looks fun and simple! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

Heart laser eyes bespeaks celebration of the day, whereas rainbow jazz seems more like a "will you be my Valentine" invitation. Not sure about the third but it's still nice.

He also regularly posts his watercolors and clay designs on Imgur, so look there for more spooky stuff. Imgur.com/user/Patricbates

Just got my order of whimsical and spooky art from the inimitable @patricbates.bsky.social and it's all even better than I'd hoped, especially for such reasonable prices. The thank-you card is a great touch! Go support this unique artist at www.etsy.com/shop/patricb...

Well, most games do seem to be a celebration of mediocrity. If "it's aiight" is the high praise the publisher wanted, then it wasn't a great game...

This job application is hard to take seriously when I keep misreading "internal stakeholders" as "internal skateboarders."

Okie doke, at least other parts of the universe are aligning to keep me balanced in trying times. After a year delay, a new episode of the best written anime parody on YouTube, youtu.be/hSy_uru3JCI

Megachurch pastor Joel Osteen and a plate of tacos al pastor, labeled "bad pastor" and "good pastor"

Now I want tacos.

It's not code, but my favorite piece of musical notation is "play without bitching about the key"

I don't WANT to go back to having roommates but you can only stack so many straws on this camel. I suppose now would be the time for someone to tell me they're madly in love with me, sweep me off my feet, and cohabitate...

@dingodoodles.bsky.social Got my Kickstarter pack today! Can't wait to find some victims — I mean players — to test it out on!

My job with Freedom Munitions was eliminated today. Sucks to be on the job hunt again this close to Christmas, but what can you do? Wish me luck.

Ah yes that generation's furry icon came from this game. It was pretty fun, barring my irritation with Fox doing the Zelda style "hold up every single item you find and show it to the camera, even if it's just a rock" every damn time, even if you'd already picked one up before. Solid 7/10.

Many of my theatre friends rocked that look back in the early 00s. You still got it, just with a little more self awareness and candor. 🔥

Seems a very Merilwen way to approach something unexpected. Adorably. As a cat.

I loved this one. Better than my previous favorite, the MegaMan Battle Royale. I think it felt more solidly matched because of the emphasis on Bowser actually caring about his troops and them about him.

Do any of us really know what we're doing here? www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BAM...

Bill Watterson had it right...

Did you know that while Ravens are larger than crows, they also have a differing number of primary flight feathers? Ravens have 11 per wing while Crows have only 10. So the difference is just a matter of a pinion. 😆 (Yes I know they both have 10, but I couldn't resist.)

Looks like we share a love of RPGs, classic and otherwise. Please ta meetcha!

Well you seem nifty but I draw the line at Evangelion! Happy to see my first excursion onto Bluesky is filled with interesting, kind, and self-aware people.
