Once I filled the space around my Pocket Camp's bathroom with cacti, and now, years later my own bathroom is filled with cacti.

a screenshot from Animal Crossing Pocket Camp of a villager about to use a port-a-potty flanked by bookshelf loudspeakers and many potted cacti on a heart shaped rug.

I'm going to talk a lot about the 1920s

HEY! On Thursday (10/16) I am giving a talk at Auburn about how we depict and talk about worlds in tabletop and miniature games. It's about granularity and how fiddly we get about the worlds we make. It's at 4pm and it's free and the info can be found at this link cla.auburn.edu/cah/events/?...

colored pencil illustration of two women laying in bed, embracing. they wear clothes inspired by elegant gothic lolita design brands like "angelic pretty" and "baby, the stars shine bright". there's a tv remote and a lovingly rendered playstation 2 controller tucked into the pink comforter on the bed.

colored pencil illustration of a woman leaning over the bowl of a toilet. she's clearly just vomited, but blood is dripping from her face into the bowl. her skin melts in a plasticy way, revealing the teeth in her closed mouth.

colored pencil illustration of a brown and white cat sitting with godzilla. both are wearing pink ribbons with the same dumb, trusting expression on their faces. they are siting on a high way where cars and trucks have clearly crashed, gray smoke billowing in the air.

colored pencil illustration of a blue-green alien wielding a large golden fantasy sword. she's beheaded several other aliens, who don't just look like her- they are her. she's wrapped in bandages, several wounds actively bleeding on multiple parts of her body.

What a fucking typography downgrade though.

The original title typography for Devil's Advocate

The new update title typography for the Devil's Advocate. It's quite dull and minimal

Google did we really decide to autocorrect with a fucking HOMOPHONE?

Dia Lacina @dialacina.com · 3h

Yeah it was a real dick punch trying to decide between all 3, but ultimately Far Cry one by being so much more catastrophically racist.

And before you say "but you reviewed that"

I am never *assigned* a game. I always call my own shots. But I also don't finish bad games unless there's some kind of gun to my head.

Dia Lacina @dialacina.com · 3h

Easy.

Far Cry: New Dawn.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

Gonna become a retvrn guy but based on the premise that I believe that women used to duel bare breasted based on those paintings from the 1890s

And you, governor, should stop providing state cops to police protesters for ICE at Broadview.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 6h

ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children at school and CPD officers.

The Trump Administration must stop their deployment of dangerous chemical weapons into the air of peaceful American communities.
