Been running a Fabula Ultima game and the FF vibes are there but also a bit of LoZ Tears Of The Kingdom as well.

What is it like playing #TTRPG with you as a GM, Nate?

Expect Final Fantasy influences as they’ve been a major source of inspo for awhile.

The LA city council just voted on a major change to sharply lower annual rent increases in rent stabilized units — 660k apartments — to between 1% and 4% depending on inflation. Story to come

Great fucking job, Schumer.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Hello, Final Fantasy XVI.
Already loving what I’ve played so far.

Voting is the coolest

When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

We live in the worst timeline with every business trying to gobble up and cannibalize one another.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

An astonishingly large crowd!

When you see Perfect Blue is playing on the big screen you buy a ticket and go immediately. Much needed movie outing on my day off.

Yoga/stretching everyday is a literal lifesaver. You’re back and body will thank you for this later down the line.

When I was a kid, bedtime was 9 pm.
I couldn't wait to be a grownup so I could go to bed anytime I wanted.

Turns out that is 9 pm.

Night of the Living Dead was released 57 years ago today🧟‍♂️

Struggle cinema David Roth on 'One Battle After Another'

Damn, so our best writer on Trump & the nightmare we're all living through is _also_ superb at writing on movies? It's fine, I'm not jealous at all. David Roth on OBAA, 1970s paranoid political thrillers, & how revolution, by its very nature, is always a work in progress. flaminghydra.com/issue-416/

The new 4K restoration of Perfect Blue is now playing in theaters 💙

This is part of a very important thread keeping tabs on the situation in Chicago.

I stand corrected. That was a fantastic movie and most likely the frontrunner for Best Picture.

I feel like I’m gonna dislike this movie due to the hype…

Photo of a new Nintendo Switch 2 showing the title screen for Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom. There’s the handle for a piece of carryon luggage sticking out in the background as I was at the airport waiting to board.

That Switch 2 though. A blessing that got me through a long travel day yesterday.

My parents dog, Dunkin, he has white and sort of light brown fur. He’s staring out a window noticing a car passing by.

Cannot believe this dog is only 7 months old. He’s so big.

this also applies to frustrations I’ve had recently about people not understanding GG & its predecessors and the relation to what’s happening now (along with a fuckload of other things obv)

Me holding up what I can only describe as the worst ice coffee I’ve had in a long, long, LONG time.

The worst ice coffee I’ve had in awhile. Great way to kick off a week back in MA. Love that dirty water 🤣

It just hit me that I get to play Hades 2 next week. I didn’t do early access this time around. I know barely nothing about this time (wanted to go radio silent as much as possible with this one) and I cannot wait to dive in so very, very soon.

I miss this show terribly. One of the most creative inventive shows ever made.

Incredibly dumb, stupid, for heckin’ sake media monopolies go away
