So I commissioned @abrildelucia.bsky.social to draw some character portraits for the Humblewood D&D game I'm DMing and 3 of them are done and I'm obsessed. 3 more to go.

These are @tzufit.bsky.social's hedge bard, Chronis's cervan fighter, and @kaleri.bsky.social's mapach rogue

The Veronica Speedwell series!

Their creativity and commitment made it much easier (and more fun!) for me to build stories around them as our game progressed. I'll miss our weekly trips to Barovia. 🖤 @turbl.es @hoodiebear.bsky.social @kaleri.bsky.social @stormofteacups.bsky.social

After 100 sessions and about 3.5 years, our Curse of Strahd campaign finally ended last night. My players were wonderful. They made characters that I could tie deeply to the setting, and they committed to the faults, fears, and choices that made sense for those characters. They were so In It.

omg have so much fun. I did one of these past gen 10 (made up my own after that) and it was the most fun I've ever had playing the sims. Unfortunately my computer absolutely hates to load the save because it is enormous. oops!

lol my husband always does this to me

y'all ever see a take so bad you are forced to immediately go to sleep?

not now discord, you're the only thing holding me together besides tumblr and god knows that chat is always only half functioning

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

A side-by-side "translation" of a Bioware press release about impending layoffs. The Bioware text can be read here: https://blog.bioware.com/2025/01/29/bioware-studio-update/ Translation, on a 1:1 paragraph match: We've started this by discussing "highest quality standards" so you know this shit is bad news. "Preparing for the next chapter" is also a zesty warning for "impending roster change." Here's a handful of names we've retained. Because game dev is a huge, invisible process, they're the only ones you as consumers recognize, so this is reassuring instead of terrifyingly indicative that entire teams are about to get laid off. Once "fierce commitment" comes out you know shit's about to go bad. "Challenged ourselves to think deeply about the best experience for fans" is real "the Kid in Upper 4" shit. You'll notice "opportunity between cycles" instead of "when contract workers are at their most vulnerable." "We definitely don't need the people with experience working in the IP we just told you were so important, so we've replaced them with folks from entirely different sub-studios or units, who will now have to be integrated." We're back to "unforgettable" and an appeal to the brand, another naked attempt to make you focus on your good feelings toward that, instead of the shit they're gonna pull.

There. I did some translating for you on that Bioware release vis-a-vis impending layoffs.

ALL THAT MATTERS IS FRIENDSHIP AND SMUT

thank you!

It was time. So happy I finally got it done, cried all the way home.

Shape of Water vs. Nosferatu - GdT over here letting people in his film have a whole ass conversation about what that dick do and meanwhile Eggers is like "i will show you what that dick do, you'll hate it, you'll thank me anyway"

Just had the most productive week possibly of my life, time to pack it in 2025.

Should have yeeted that asp

Friend: What's wrong?

Me (crying because yet another online "Which Scooby Doo Character Are You?" quiz revealed I'm that punkass Scrappy Doo): The election

I always have a moment of "who IS that" when I see the promo images of Rook in the hood/mask. Just not something that occurs to me at all as being their "look" in the game (though, to be fair, idk what would work for that).

turbles get the fuck out

ALSO, ALSO, not to belabor the point but, this isn't even really what I was talking about. It's not the volume of popcorn that misses the mouth (which is a lot), it's the inability to eat a reasonable number of kernels at a time, rather than ALWAYS taking a fist full.

It was really nice of him to just rush in here to prove your point. What a good guy.

I just went to make myself a bag of popcorn and Mike goes "oh I'll hang out if you're going to have popcorn" and I just grabbed a second bag out of the box, tossed it to him, and said "you need your own" and I know you will understand why this was necessary

OH MY GOD WHY IS THIS SUCH A UNIVERSAL TRUTH

I am laughing at this HOURS later
