This really really sucks actually, no matter what you think about the game. Years and years and years of development and talent flushed down the drain. My heart goes out to everyone affected.

This shouldn’t be how art is made.

Usually, I try to get a pin from every convention I attend. Maybe this time I should get some dice instead.

I didn't expect this to take me so long but after 80 hours, I finally finished the game. Another amazing experience from this series. Only thing I didn't care for was grinding for shards. Can't wait to play the DLC.

A black and white screenshot of a girl with white hair collapsed after the test revealed she was 71 years old. Above her are the words, "I've fallen and I can't get up" and at the bottom of the picture is, "RIP Nova Aokami, Dec 13, 1954 - Feb 1, 2026"

The results screen for Slay the Spire. At the top, the world "Victory!" along with stats detailing that I cleared it at Ascension 20 (the highest difficulty) and beat the True Final Boss, the Heart.

I spent six hours streaming on NYE trying to do it but I finally succeeded tonight. After 707 hours on Steam (plus more on Switch and Gamepass), I have finally cleared A20H in Slay the Spire!

I also managed to actually beat the Transient on this run as well so it's like a double miracle.

A version of the "What Should We Do?" meme that ends with the guy getting thrown out the window. Fangy asks chat what the raid message should be. Sunny and Ariel both don't have anything. I suggest "Yawning Cryptid Raid!" and for that, Fangy throws me out the window.

Another meme of @fangy.maidsofengland.co.uk (with @arielaria.bsky.social and @sunnyraoul.bsky.social ) showing why I'm not invited to Teasing Cryptid Tuesday. At least I get to spread the truth of #yawngate.

An edit of a Spongebob meme with Fangy's face over Mr. Krabs's. Fangy stands in front of a giant #1-shaped gravestone asking if she's going to defile it for armor in the top panel. In the bottom panel, she's already digging it up and saying, "Of course I am!"

My D&D group has spent two years or so playing this campaign together. They had already played it but I went into it relatively unspoiled so it was a very good time as they pushed me some of the funnier responses. Will probably play again by myself. #beatit2025

After 11 episodes of Sanda, I've finally figured something out: This isn't a Yu-Gi-Oh! GX spinoff centered on Jun Manjoume / Chazz Princeton.

A two panel meme from 500 Days of Summer. In the first panel, the character labelled "Me" says, "I love Mary Jane" to which the character labelled "My sister" says, "Me too." The second panel reveals that I meant Mary Jane Watson from Spider-Man and she meant cannabis also called "Mary Jane."

It’s in my article but I’ve been naming the VODs after movies and sometimes, I have a lot of trouble coming up with one. This one, I had the opposite. I was going to call it Challengers but right before the session One Battle After Another sprung into my mind and I knew I had to use it.
