As an honorary Canadian by the declaration of my friend’s Canadian wife, happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

A very good and cute ginger cat named Kenobi snuggling his cat daddy on top of a fleece blanket.

It’s a very snuggly day off.

That looks cool, but omg that cute l’il piggy person!

I played a gnome character in D&D who wound up being a Columbo riff, lol. Anyway, happy Columbo’s Day!

That is one of the more disgruntled-looking space heaters I’ve seen, but is still very cute and good.

She is very cute and good, but clearly has her own ideas about fashion and that’s okay.

Ah, well at least I was close!

I had read that the Warrior was solid for damage and healing, which I enjoy as a tank style. I'm not seeing that so far, but I'm only 32 now so maybe I'm a little low. I wanted to figure things out myself, but maybe I should read a guide.

Oh, sorry! I meant the game series. I got my introduction to the universe by playing Witcher 2 and 3, so that's what I default to in my head.

I've never read the books so I don't know how it compares, but for story and character the game series is better than the TV one in my eyes.

Cool and colorful! I like that decorative sun, which maybe marks me as a 90s kid in terms of aesthetic preferences but I yam what I yam, dammit.

Also, two Witcher posters? I'm getting some very subtle vibes that you might possibly enjoy that series.

Oh oh oh! Is that Thanalan by Camp Drybone? (checking whether I recognize stuff in-game)

Haven't tried NIN yet. Decided to level my first toon as a tank. Just got GLD/PAL to 51, then decided to switch it up and level MRD/WAR. They're fun so far, if a bit repetitive in playstyle.

It’s probably just The Wild Hunt. You know how rowdy they can be.

A ginger cat named Kenobi resting his face on his cat dad’s arm. His eyes are closed and he is at peace.

I love this sweet face.

“This is chaos personified” 😂

The absolutely not chaotic in the slightest Twenty-Sided Tavern panel at LACC is available to watch on the Twenty-Sided Tavern YouTube channel! There is a cheeky lil D3 podcast mention too which is awesome ☺️

But seriously? This is great! The colors really pop and it all looks rad.

I’ve committed to doing a cosplay (my first) for next year’s Maryland Renaissance Festival. I hope it’s as good as this.

Oh great Keeper of the Wild! I beseech you for your aid! Your knowledge of the Great Wood and its shaded places is all that can help me in this dire time!

You see, there are these squirrels that are being little jerks…

Dang it! I’m trying to coordinate seeing a friend in a play showing around Baltimore this weekend. This concert would have been a great excuse to just hangout in DC for the weekend.

But, thanks for sharing!

Go see #TheWitcherInConcert! The Orchestra is amazing! They have the people who made/worked on the Witcher (game) soundtrack on tour and the music/experience is wonderful :)

This really feels like a perfectly-distilled microcosm of the MAGA approach to governance.

okay, okay, I hear what you're saying that this is not comfortable or appealing but wouldn't the best medicine here be to check out some dump trucks?

I'm just saying, as far as reasons go, I think 9 out of 10 dentists would approve.

Your mom is right! You are a spot-on natural fit for Yennifer.

It's a great venue and the art and architecture of those places is grand. Last time I saw it was when they held the "walk the stage" part of graduation for my Master's degree cohort there.

Related: I wish I'd known that Witcher concert was happening! Would have been a fun reason to go see it again.

Honestly, he got it. This is an impossibly hard thing to get right. I can quibble about some parts, and it’s impossible to do normie content that’s also sufficient for the moment, but he did as good a job as is possible. Especially glad he rightfully called out the threat to journalists.

I'm so lucky I started in Ul'dah because navigating that place is very intuitive to me. If I'd started in Limsa Lominsa or Gridania, I'd still be level 1 and hunting for the bathroom.

Hey, good on you for making good art with a badass lady protagonist.

Tangentially related: AC: Odyssey was the first game I played when returning to the series and I loved it. To me, Kassandra/Melissanthi Mahut made that game special.

Is that Kassandra from AC: Odyssey?

Maayyyyyybe.
