Applause for you.

Watching in real time as it becomes shit on the calendar for Amanda's mentals to be balancer.

So, I'm supposed to stop trying to improve my Pokémon friends' comfort level and just go to work now that it's Monday morning??

That's the worstester.

What?

Our DM @wagnarok.bsky.social trapped us in an infinite hotel maze for a minute so be careful not accept any comped room and board.

Unfortunately for those of you following me this will be a hyperfixation for the next 90-120 business days. Do what you must.

I do have to work tomorrow, so I should sleep.

I could also down like two 5-hour energy drinks and play Pokopia until work tomorrow. Decisions, decisions.

WE LOVE TED.

(also once again watch Wonder Man it's v v good)

Can we log time sheets for doing D&D Beyond QA as part of our game each time they do a Maps VTT update? #CityofDoors

Zylmys, the stage magician NPC who appeared in our path: *starts describing all the terrible places she has ended up by way of portals*

Ugly: "Sounds like you've been in some...dreadful domains." #CityofDoors

"...by your old friend Shemeshka..."
Friend is a strong word. #CityofDoors

I'm waiting for a Ghost Pokémon to tell me the darkest secret of the universe because I KNOW IT'S COMING.

Bulbasaur standing in an open field of grass, enthusiastically yelling "Let's make it HUMID" almost took me out.

A lot of comparisons can readily be made between Pokémon Pokopia and Animal Crossing.

But one that I don't want to fall through the cracks is how OFF THE WALL some of the dialogue lines are. It reminds me of old GameCube dialogue.

I love it.

Had a terribly great idea for a pun named NPC.

Gonna have to find a good place for them to show up in #Thades. Much psychic damage to my players, RIP them.

I'm making a "curated, cultivated biome experience!!!" Not a zoo!!

Me, rationalizing to myself: "Well most of them are found outdoors anyway, sooooo. They probably like it."

This game unfortunately has created a direct line to both my serotonin and dopamine. I must accept that.

I do have several chores and things to take care of today.

On the other hand... Pokopia.

A mockup of the Blades '69 book where the 69 has been crossed out and replaced with 69 in bright purple. Below that, the bio for April Kit Walsh which reads: April Kit Walsh writes games about feelings, vulnerability, and caring for one another, including Thirsty Sword Lesbians and End of the Line. She used to be a swordfighting ballerina, but claims those days are behind her; she has absolutely no idea who that masked heroine with the sword and the tutu might be. When not writing RPGs, April is a civil liberties attorney working to protect the rights of criminal defendants, activists, journalists, and everyone else impacted by the technologies of control or empowerment. Next to the bio, the description for the $420k stretch goal: Blades '69: The Sexual Revolution The 1960s were a time when the counterculture challenged establishment norms around sex, love, family, and a person's right to choose what happens to their own body. How does this conflict manifest in Doskvol? How does the Consensus exercise control through these dimensions of human experience, and what struggles and delightful deviancies does your group want to explore? Blades '69 is a combination of a worldbuilding exercise and safety tool to help you bring themes of both real-world and fantastical sexual liberation to your game.

yeah yeah we saw all you sly posters going "Blades '68? ...just ONE off."
Well we're not COWARDS. Challenge accepted!
At $420k we'll commission April Kit Walsh (designer of Thirsty Sword Lesbians) to write up... Blades '69
Time to put your money where your mouth is.

It's thunderstorming with heavy rain, I'm playing Pokopia, and relaxing on the couch.

10/10 Saturday vibes.

I feel like Shum is driving the feral combat instincts and Markus is imposing some strategy and tactics to it.

But I am also curious. 👀

The false spring is here to deceive us!!! It lies!!

We didn't ask for this! We don't deserve this!

I need to speak to the manager. Of weather. So like. Gaia, I guess?

A picture of a weather report showing two days of weather. The first shows a high of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 58 degrees Fahrenheit. The second day shows a high of 77 degrees Fahrenheit with heavy thunder storms and a low of 48 degrees Fahrenheit.

It's the beginning of March what the fuck is this about.

I know it probably isn't the healthiest lifestyle choice but what if I was just a Ditto all weekend.

I HOPE THAT BASTARD'S IN JAIL
