The Pokemon Go update is a little weird, while it’s fun to jump from 48 to 70 and have my bags blow up with free items as a result, I’m a little surprised 50 wasn’t tracked to 70 with a bit more uphill xp to 80, even if these leveling quests are beastly just the platinum badges alone.

I have somehow made my way to lesbian statistician TikTok and I’m not mad about it, I thought this was fascinating and made me think how different the gay men apps would probably be and honestly probably not much!!

There was no way I would collect all this data and NOT make a couple of charts with it… #tinder #lesbian #lgbtqia #datingapp

This post reminded me it’s the first day of the season for my favorite Atari hoodie 🥰

Me, wearing an Atari Hoodie that is black and “wood paneling” style like an old Atari 2600 was

oh, I guess the demo is not VR. well i mean that does make sense they aren't giving it all away for free.

Rob Roberts @robroberts.bsky.social · 2d

it definitely feels "let's take what worked with tetris effect and do it lumines". maybe my only complaint is that i think the visuals are going to be too much for some? like it will probably be great VR immersion but if your body is not a fan of flashes, etc, I hope they offer a "tone it down" mode

Rob Roberts @robroberts.bsky.social · 2d

finally got to try the lumines arise demo since I was out of town when it was up last time (it's back up, idk how long). OMG it's great!! the visuals / songs so far are awesome and I really need to see if I can try this on my friends PSVR2 lol.

What do you mean Spotify limits my audiobook hours in a month I’m going to have to wait until next month to finish red white and royal blue? 😡

The Visionaries dance show I got to host this weekend was well done, I'm really impressed how much those performers (including kids) memorize as some of those numbers were pretty long. It was fun to do something a little outside of my usual element. I hope anyone that may have gone had a good time!

Gwenne has been a good supporter of OLR and such over the years, I hope they can get the help needed with this unfortunate situation.

DarkSakuraTTV @darksakura.bsky.social · 4d

My dear friend Gwenne (Fynarra/LoonyBard) is in a dire situation. We need to raise at least $400 so her power is turned back on to keep her and her kitties from freezing as the temperature drops.

Please help support one of my best friends!
