Youโ€™re in Kyoto too I see. Donโ€™t think you can get these kind of vibes anywhere else.

Wow. Seeing that website, I can immediately understand how little effort theyโ€™re going to put into this. Just weak attempt all round.

God, youโ€™re useless.
Clearly youโ€™re taking kickbacks from somebody to be THIS ineffectual.

Your answer to actual horrors against humanity is wagging a finger at actual murder by ICE and saying

โ€œnnnno. Bad ICE. No dessert for youโ€ฆ.dโ€™aww, how can I be upset at that mask! Hereโ€™s all the candy.โ€

Once again, as a reminder that I live in Japan, my neighbor is practicing the shamisen, causing me to feel like I should be scarpering indoors because a cadre of shady looking ronin just rode into town.

Always make corporations sweat. When c-suite make shitty decisions that affect livelihoods, make them know how wrong it is by hitting them where it hurts. Their stock price.

I work off the hump so Iโ€™m always working with larger pieces of clay, but Iโ€™ve never gone โ€œfuck it! Iโ€™m gonna make one piece!โ€

This looks great! I really need to scale up my work.
I'll practically have the studio all to myself this Thurs. Nobody's gonna be around to stop me from making giant stuff!

"64% percent of game workers will not use generative AI, and 18% of users think it's bad for the industry."

There. I fixed your headline for you.

Men, who blame everyone (including and primarily women for their problems) should absolutely be weeded out of the gene pool.

Started a more weekly open workshop at my #pottery place, giving me free rein to work on practically anything.

While I was only trimming my sake bottles today, I was snuggled away in my own corner for 3 1/2 hours to do my thing. Loved it!

The correct thing to do was NOT GIVE THIS SHIT ANY COVERAGE.

@aoitsukihime.bsky.social Have you played this yet? You really should!

This is an absolutely perfect game. To just call it a โ€œvisual novelโ€ undersells the amount and quality of writing in this game, not to mention the complexity.
Iโ€™m personally not one for these kinds of games, but I adore this and it has left an impactful mark on me.
1,000,000 sales well deserved.

Maphra is absolutely amazing! I'm really happy for her rapid success over these few recent videos. I'm floored each time I listen to her voice!

I guarantee you Shroom and Gloom is going to be something special when it releases.
This game just oozes character (and spores) from all of the meticulous and brilliant work put into it.
Get this game on your wishlists!

The blue cards are cannibalized from a Lorwyn pre-con. Iโ€™ll swap the sleeves when I next play with buddies.

Nothing locks my ADHD brain in with a dopamine reward more than making a new #MagicTheGathering Commander deck.
Very pleased with how this Elf deck turned out.
