It's always important to keep you on your toes. I want you to always wonder if I am up to something.

I've been sitting in a #Dnd game as an NPC with my wife and her friends. Unbeknownst to them, the DM and I had a plot to surprise them with my OC joining their game.

When the DM said, "Villanueva, you can also roll for initiative." The sheer thrill of surprise was absolutely divine.

I can't help but notice that almost all the songs on the #kpopdemonhunters soundtrack are about three minutes in length or a touch longer.

Just about the right length for the side of a #shellac #78RPM record.

A man can dream, right?

Lost my job last week due to crazy budget cuts within my industry, so I channeled the feeling of kind of being forced to move on to the next phase of my artistic career into this painting of Kharon, ferryman of the river Styx.

This feels channeled in the correct direction. A melancholy reason for a beautiful piece of work.

A screenshot taken from Balder's Gate 3 of Astarion with a mod installed which makes him look a little different than usual. He has longer, silver hair, violet eyes, dark lips, eye shadow and is wearing a dapper burgundy coat with a ruffled cravat.

This #BaldursGate3 Origin Mirror mod makes #Astarion look even MORE like my character than he already does and it is absolutely fire.

So glad I was finally talked into playing this game.
