Oh for sure. I don’t go to read, just to borrow books. Was surprised at the selection at my local library. WAY more than I thought they had. I misjudged them haha
That’s awesome! I dusted off my library card and our family has been going once a week. Can’t recommend it enough! It just feels so good to be in a quiet space filled with books. Has already helped me read more this year than last year!
They resisted. They turned up their noses. “Please, we’ll eat anything else”, they begged. But I stayed the course! I gave my children NO QUARTER! And now? They eat lentils! Enjoy them, even! Muahahahaha! 😈 🥣
Making coffee as quietly as possible at the office:
1. close break room door
2. press coffee grinder against chest
3. cover grinder with jacket
4. proceed to grind beans
Enjoy 🤫
I have two coworkers who both have candy jars in their offices. One just filled theirs with Jelly Bellies, the other individually wrapped Sour Patch Kids. This is a candy arms race and I’m CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE. 😳
A book from Caves of Qud called “IMPERATIVE REPEATING QUERY: DO YOU LOVE ME?”
All the companies trying to force feed me AI products:
A book from Caves of Qud titled “Detective Work! What Say You?”
You: What happened to my Doritos in the break room?
Me, leaping up from my office chair: Sounds like it’s time for some…
A book from Caves of Qud called “Relatively Intelligent Creature: Unabridged”
In the running for the title of my memoir:
A book from the game Caves of Qud that says “Stomach! Let Us Endeavor”
Me when I rally my gut to eat spicy food:
Agreed! Also lol
A photo of a TV playing “Legend of Ochi”, and the Ochi puppet they made is on screen. Incredibly lifelike and adorable!
Watched Legend of Ochi with the family. Really dug the vibe and everyone is in love with this little guy, worth watching just for him!
It was so good! Local high schoolers once again proving the power of ART! 😭
Sitting down for a local production of Fiddler on the Roof. Never seen it before! Excited~
Only a fool supports war.
8 index cards with covered in colorful pastel crayon art
I find it mildly annoying but also absolutely endearing that my daughter will put her artwork all over the house. She looks at my bookshelf or desk and thinks “I know JUST what this space needs!” 😂 her latest is the Index Card Series, all bangers
Screenshot from the anime Shangri La Frontier with a big pile of games that says “This world is filled with too many games to count”
Real…
May Arceus bless your journey! 💫 🙏
(I’m starting to accept that I might be pulled into this😂)
Metroid Fusion! Also a big one for me!
9 games, 1998 - 2018.
Very tough to whittle down such a short list but I tried to think of the biggest touchstones!
This is so awesome!!! I didn’t know the author had cruel politics. Definitely would not have guessed that based on the importance of love in The Hyperion Cantos😔
Very cool project! Podcast eps are good listening. Definitely need to get the book!
What a lovely game idea (and a wonderful trailer)!

Finally! Hooray!
Doing my part! Hope you feel better soon!

The Shrike meets Colonel Kassad in the sands of Hyperion, from Dan Simmons 'Hyperion Cantos'.
This was an excellent series of books from an author I would later learn had cruel personal politics, which seemed to run counter to many of the themes in his work.

How many commissions do you normally take on at one time?
I’ve sworn off mainline Pkmn games for years. Sword broke me. Didn’t even finish it. The world lost its magic. I don’t like what it has become. But this Wind/Waves trailer? We’re out in nature? Cute starters that might not suck? Okay, you’ve got my attention, Game Freak 🧐
Tbf getting full enjoyment from a high luck & high skill game requires almost a cognitive dissonance... You must try super hard to win, exercising your skill, but also not care much about the final outcome, which may be dashed by luck. (This is also the personality type I most want to play with.)
