I'm so tired of being advertised at, man Life used to be more than this.

This feels like a trick as I just see schnitzel with a lemon.

It's been so interesting and exciting watching Bryn Mawr evolve over the last few years, and I was grateful to go out and photograph it for Madison Savedra's latest in @blockclubchi.bsky.social !

Give the story a read here: blockclubchicago.org/2025/08/06/b...

One has its uses.

No pictures, because raid night and maintenance already cut it off early, but finally succeeded in a bid for a large FFXIV FC house! Not even sure what to do with the space, but should be fun figuring out how to decorate it.

Heads up: @nkjemisin.bsky.social's THE FIFTH SEASON is on US sale for $3 today; I got 6 copies for random giveaway.

I just lost my one stable gig and I'm about to lose my health insurance again. Please consider donating

Marquee outside the Steppenwolf Theater advertising Sasha Velour's one woman show.

Seeing Sasha Velour tonight! Been a moment since I've been to the Steppenwolf.

A four panel comic. Top panel is a Yan (a ram with murderous intent) from Final Fantasy XIV staring down at the corpse of a dead paladin on the left, a ninja clings to a tree right, sweating nervously. The middle left panel is the Yan looking up. The middle right panel is the Yan bouncing toward the right. The bottom panel is the cute, murderous Yan jumping up to the height of the Ninja, who now sits crying while they hug the tree.

Last night of clearing M5S for our casual static. Our banging our head against M6S continues. I now appreciate the Yan memes so much more (even if I'm not the one tanking them). Seeing Yan + Mu eating away chunks of my 200k+ tank health pool is a sight to see.

And I'm on yet another book that is about fighting fascism under the guise of a lich. I'm not sure how I'll feel at the end, but it's not a bad way to tackle the D&D setting.

Lestat journey I finished the book of Marius giving his biography. I'm not sure I've enjoyed any of those but Pandora's.

I don't tend to revisit a lot of media, but have made it a goal to slowly get through the Drizzt and Lestat book series (more generally all of Anne Rice's supernatural universe). I am fairly shocked to discover the Drizzt books start tackling more generally that orcs don't have to be evil.

Hello! Are you a digital smut peddler! Do you make games, art, comics, books, or other kinds of kink or adult themed material that you sell? I'd like to talk to you!!! Please get at me via any of the contacts in my bio and please boost!

I've contemplated getting a Drifloon tattoo with it just floating and having a skeletal arm dangling off one of its strings.

Nothing like getting through the halfway point of an optional, Chromatic boss fight in Clair Obscur for it to crash to desktop (this is the second crash so far, and hoping it's not a continued trend).

I played dancer a fair bit last expansion, but I just do not love where that entire trio is sitting at the moment. Thankfully found samurai this expansion.

Four faves no starters

Hulk Hogan, Trump idol and enemy of the free press, dead at 71 An anti-eulogy by Josephine Riesman

NEW — The Handbasket’s anti-eulogy for Hulk Hogan written by the amazing @josie.zone.

“To use the parlance of Gawker—the news outlet Hogan helped destroy with the assistance of a neofascist billionaire—And now he’s dead.”

Read it here:

Credit Card Companies Are Hurting the Future of Video Games By going after Itch.io, “we’re really hamstringing the future of arts and communication.”

I talked to @halfrobot.com about what credit card companies have been doing to Itch and the impact that could have on the future of games www.404media.co/credit-card-...

I have rediscovered Picross as a zone out and relax game. Wonder if I should check out Murder by Numbers.

Can confirm that most of the works by @radiatoryang.bsky.social, as well as my own card game (but not the extras, ironically) no longer show up in itch.io search results, much like anything else tagged NSFW, it seems. Good enough art for museums... But not payment processors!

YouTube videos that take 20 minutes to get to the one 30 second section you need (for the ad revenue).

Gods, there better not be any lightning dodging...

When I heard Clair Obscur devs were in love with FFX I didn't realize it also meant shitty mini-games. Staring at you, Gestral Beach Volleyball.

A bunny on a disco dance floor. He had veiny white pants that mimic bell bottoms, an open purple shirt, and frog feet. He also wears flamboyant glasses that stick off his face. He does a disco point to the left.

Woohoo! Second clear of M5S and got my first piece of gear. One more book and we'll be done with Springhis Khan.

Woohoo! Cleared M5S in FFXIV and immediately started slamming our faces into the wall that I've heard M6S is (though we didn't even reach adds).

The Matrix. Had finished our end of year AP Bio test, so just goofed off the last few weeks.

Someone reading House of Leaves for the first time
