Tonight my best friend, companion for 16 years & love of my life Isabella Sunshine Cattini passed away.

This photo was taken at 12:28am & around an hour later she was gone. She had a complex case of hyperthyroidism which likely developed into cancer. She was active & affectionate until the very end

Do this today, the nominations process is already underway!

You can't win awards if judges don't know your game exists & what you did. This is a good way to ensure they do.

Especially if you didn't already have huge market awareness & a big marketing budget.

it's OCD awareness week! 💙

there are a lot of misconceptions around OCD, but in reality, it's a debilitating mh disorder where you get stuck in unwanted, intrusive thoughts & repetitive behaviors or thoughts to make the obsessions go away. this cycle is time consuming and distressing.

firm agree! i have thoracic outlet syndrome in my left arm & am no longer able to use a keyboard for more than 5 minutes at a time.

games that are primarily mouse only i can do but otherwise, i need controllers to play.

It's been 5 years since I became a Twitch Affiliate & we are hanging out tonight doing some low key celebrating while playing Silk Song.

I'm also very near another milestone: 5K followers. It'd be so rad if I could hit that in the next 30 days - we are only 138 away!

The image depicts Amaris, person wearing a dark green tank top and large, over-ear headphones with glowing blue accents. They have long hair that is brown with silver ends. Amaris has piercings in their septum & philtrum & vertical labret piercing. The background is softly lit with a purple hue, and partially visible are some small decor items such as LEGO Orchids & a Shade plush from Hollow Knight.

an invitation graphic with a cream background and red lettering/graphics. the invitation says "join me in celebrating 2 years of streaming. october 10th 11am CST. a little walk down memory lane, gaming, community games, raffle, and a special surprise. twitch.tv/orzulsplace." at the bottom of the graphic is an image of orzu, a biracial cambodian-american with black, collar-length curly hair. they are wearing a dark-blue denim shirt.

missing her so much & all i keep thinking is how i wanted more time with her.

in another lifetime we are still cuddling with her being my favorite little spoon.

life hurts without her here.
i'll love you forever, Isabella

The image features a close-up of a black cat, Isabella Sunshine Cattini, with her front paws on a person's lap while she stands on her hind legs (though they are unseen). The cat's fur is sleek and shiny, with her large, expressive green eyes reflecting nearby light sources. A pastel purple collar is visible around her neck. The background shows a computer mouse emitting a blue light on a desk surface.

This looks like such a blast. Also, seeing a Black Lotus in person is just mind blowing. Very cool!

🦋 Kicking off the Neowiz Creator Raid Train with Lies of P.

Tonight's a continuation of my original EL10 run where I aim to get all trophies - including DLC - on the same save without leveling my character.

NG was a lot of fun. Let's see what the DLC is like without leveling.

When writing alt text, focus on what's truly important. In an image with text about a canceled event, the borders of the image are not nearly as vital as conveying that this event is now canceled. A decorative border can be mentioned, but it's not the most important element; the cancellation is.

HowDoYou Guide @howdoyou.guide · 19d

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!

It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.

It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

"How Do You Avoid Hitting People With Your Car" pocket guide. Instructs readers to Watch the Road and Slow Down. Further text humorously insists that watching the road and slowing down are indeed important.

Sorry for being gauche but if you want to get invested in media about witches that isn’t racist garbage that enables a transphobe, check out a game made by a majority of trans people including yours truly. Bonus it helps fund my hopeful escape from this hell.
