... talk about a new study and say "There's a new paper on xxxx" ... which is all great, we need more of this ... and then TOTALLY FAIL to properly cite, footnote or even mention the study they're talking about... cont

my proximity to esports fandom has ebbed and flowed over the decade because I was always able to find a space to enjoy it in good faith. T1 was the first team I rooted for since 2014-15. But really for the first time, kind of feels like I need to not breathe in the fanspace bc of the vitriol

the only thing I care about is if there's enough practice/scrims or If it's better to get mechanically better at Zeri/Ezreal first in soloq maybe that ? Bottom line is I'm not a coach and players also give their feedback :re teammates, there's so much information fans aren't privy to. the toxicity..

it's good that Guma is a starter...or is it ..? I would have preferred a decision from the coaching staff tbh but the fanbase is absolutely vitriolic and for the first time in 10 years in genuinely going to block it out lol and just watch the matches

Okay there's been so much negativity about so many things re game decisions but I just want to say the Seasons that Root implemented are actually very cool (Noxus, Ionia next (?)) because I'm genuinely excited for the next Act even as a lore knower it brings immersion to the game

Miss the days of driving out to the countryside and holding star map treasure hunts with my friends where we'd start at spotting Orion at 8 pm and end at finding Scorpio at 4 am and we had overnight biryani stalls going and we taught other students how to read Star maps I MISS OBSERVING THE SKY

A wide angle view from 12,000 ft of a volcano erupting under a clear, starry night sky. The band of the Milky Way galaxy arcs over the volcano, with Orion's belt / the Orion nebula just barely visible at the very top right on the image. Below the volcano, just beneath a layer of haze, are numerous city lights that illuminate the haze with a golden glow.

While I'll only ever live out my life on this one lonely speck out of a septillion+ (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) planets in the observable Universe, I'm grateful every damn day to exist on this Earth. Extraordinary beauty is everywhere we look if we take the time to observe & appreciate it.

Playing a lot of atmospheric barista games lately to un-fry my brain after long coding hours and I've realised with Coffee Talk and now Tavern Talk: the Twilight era was truly more influential than I'd like to believe. My teenage self is smug somewhere

It's #SteamNextFest time again, and here's my thread for this event! There are lots of great games and it feels harder than ever to find unique and weird stuff when you have to sift through thousands of games (and all the AI). I'll continue updating it as the week goes on!

This game has a strong but not pushy narrative about burnout and taking time to let things be and i didn't expect to be moved by this game??

It's that time again! There are so many wholesome games with demos on Steam right now for #SteamNextFest, which lasts from Feb 24 - Mar 3.

I'll use this thread to highlight a few I've found, but devs and fans please join me and add your own recommendations!

Got Wanderstop as a demo from Steam NextFest and it's the cutest teahouse sim/gardening sim ever. There's even mechanics for growing hybrid plants ???
