Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

Thank you to all the people who are good at talking about random things for hours.

This is a pro-fun account.

There’s a lot going on, times are hard and they aren’t going to get better any time soon.

Celebrate your half birthday.Make up holidays.Find reasons to gather, party and fellowship.Find your people.Spend time with family and friends. Ignore anyone in opposition to fun.

Holy shit! Congratulations you gorgeous human!

"Quite the catch" the description reads

When young, I participated in (and won a few) fishing tournaments.

One of the things I've come to learn over the years is that not everything needs to grow up with you. I used to be mad that dragonlance stayed middle school chaste and that this or that game was always tame even though I was getting older. It was and is entirely ego driven. You are not the center.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

I've started in on the Krakoa Era in Marvel Unlimited. It feels like archeology, feels like time travel.

I have seen and felt the grief in modern X-titles, in characters I love, and now I go to the past to break my own heart knowing where it ends.

Still looking for my next role - if you know anyone who needs an award winning game designer, narrative designer, or content designer with technical skills and people managing experience who has been at it for 15 years and has made stuff that is taught in schools, hit me up at zoe@unburntwitch.com

Holy. Shit.

Badass. Absolutely badass.

the kind of wisdom one would hope to find in anxient tomes 🩸

Two simultaneous truths:

1. No matter how badly someone hurt you, once you part ways you don’t get to decide if they grow and become better. It’s their life and their choice.

2. You are never under any obligation to give them access to you, no matter how much they do that.

Usually when I get stressed out or overwhelmed, my body craves spicy food and Korean horror movies to breakthrough and feel something, but recently, the crave has been creative.

I just finished Subnautica: Below Zero. Played the whole thing. Scariest fucking game I have ever experienced.

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

ONE. THIRD.
and countless lives destroyed because of it.

Nice work!

Please pay attention.

This is a horrible situation and it's going to do tremendous damage.

Any fighting back, any help you can give, NOW IS THE FUCKING TIME TO DO IT.

WOOF, that's Brutal! May the strength of Thor course through your veins for the trials before you.

"The Corporations don't intrinsically have souls, but they've got rights. The only corpo that contained a soul was Costco - the only one born with a soul. The Chamber of Commerce was empty, you see. These things are just vessels. That's why I'm going to destroy them. Because I hate them."

Metacritic has sent a reminder email to all games site editors/publishers which is pretty strong, and great:

I get that.

Doctor Doom returns a toddler Valeria Richards to her parents. His word bubble reads "Here in Latveria, Richards, Doom demands that children always get a good night's sleep." Valeria's word bubble reads "Hi, Mom."

One World Under Doom has been one of the greatest story archs I have ever read in comics.

It will have a special place in my heart up there with Infinity Gauntlet and Blackest Night / Brightest Day.

I am indeed

Tapping the sign

Hell yeah! I am leaving in March and should be settled by June, I am hoping.

As Feb comes to a close and I get closer to my move date, I wanted to re-up this for folks who may have missed the announcement on New Years Day. (I have also pinned it.)

This. This precisely.
