Very nice.

Not that I'm omnipresent here, but I might be out for a bit. Just found out two former coworkers, including one I really cared for during our time working together, passed away this week. Feeling like I got punched in the stomach.

But when I'm back, hope to have some cool news to share.

Clearly, I will need to make these soon.

This is one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.

Jaws
Ghostwatch

This is probably the queerest piece of official art that D&D has ever released. While I don't think I have any use for a rubber play mat, the image is adorable and it's making me think I might need to own it. I mean, it has kobolds in shimmering loincloths shaking pride-maracas, for heck's sake!

Super proud of how this is coming along. @mabit.bsky.social really knocks every page out of the park.

Looks tasty. Ever been to Hanbey? Best chicken wings I've *ever* eaten anywhere.

Andy "Aethan" French @aethan.bsky.social · 6d

I was thinking the same.

Andy "Aethan" French @aethan.bsky.social · 6d

Fairly well.

Folks, don't buy this garbage. Don't let anyone drag furry into the mainstream. It's ours. Support real furry artists making fun, original stuff for you. Don't let mass marketed AI-generated garbage find a foothold in our lovingly curated weirdness.

Scott Frerichs @kaiserneko.bsky.social · 6d

Young furries, do not buy this repulsive slop

Support actual furry artists if you want silly furry merch, they're out there and they're happy to oblige, and you won't be feeding a machine looking to capitalize on your subculture

Between this and the Spirit Halloween masks, it's amusing but also the nightmare of furry going mainstream. 💀

Pretty sure that's a blood transfusion..,

It's actually me being kind of a punk. We're doing a German dinner tomorrow… Schnitzel, German potato salad, red cabbage, sour Broughten… And I wanted to make dessert. Of course, I know German chocolate cake isn't actually German, but it's a favorite flavor of cake around here, so why not?

Did I make German chocolate cake from scratch?

Yes.

Yes, I did.

That was definitely worth some XP towards my baking skills.
