Good morning—

Boosting again for the morning people 🖤

Count Breeedo🩸🔜 PAX U @breeedo.bsky.social · 1d

So my Airbnb canceled on me for PAXU, and now I don’t have a place to stay. I looked for places close to the convention center, but everything is super expensive & I’m not able to pay upfront right now (which I want to).

If anyone has any leads, or is able to help out, that would be amazing. $0/600

I'm reposting this thread in two different forms because Songbirds is THAT good. I require more people to read and play it

snow @snow117.bsky.social · 2d

Songbirds is my dungeon crawler game that is more persona and disco elysium than it is DnD. Look at this shit: weird classes, survival-horror style dungeons, body mods and magic.

Be nice to me it's #PortfolioDay

Digital illustration. Album cover of "A Day is the Worst Segmentation of Time" by Summer on Venus. The silhouette of a newscaster with smoke for hair sits holding papers. The chyron below reads "summer on venus" and "a day is the worst segmentation of time" repeatedly. Behind the newscaster, a screen shows a jumble of a face with eye sockets in shadow, a stop sign with its text scratched out, and some tubes. The whole image has a scanline effect and chromatic aberration.

Digital illustration. A man with a buzz cut in the bottom left corner looks up and to the right. He wears a blue bomber jacket and a green gas mask with red lenses. The background is bright red. Reaching towards him are cord-like blue tendrils intertwined with thicker, orange cords.

Digital illustration. In the style of a vintage science textbook, a red-tinted, stylized version of the James Webb space telescope orbits a burning red star. The orbit is indicated by small arrows in a circular pattern. Between the star and the telescope, a small Earth with its moon also orbits. On the telescope's surface, the reflection of a jeweled praying mantis.

Digital collage. A photobash of a jackalope (constructed with the body and head of a rabbit, the arms of a raccoon, and the antlers of a stag) reaches up and to the right from underwater. The water is grayscale. The jackalope's fur is tinted red, and its eyes are bright red. On the surface of the water, a landscape of power lines in front of a mountain range. Behind the mountains, an orange-red sun rises in a cloudy, orange/purple/red sky.

When was the last time you got a COVID booster? If it was 6 months ago (or more), it's time to get another!

Absolutely! I love that Bandcamp does that. My original plan was to exclusively use Bandcamp and just mourn the music that isn't on there. But Tidal sounds like a good complement to Bandcamp

I just saw the goal has actually been met, but tbh I believe in giving people more than the bare minimum they need.

I can't believe I only just saw this! PLEASE consider donating. Student loans are such heavy burdens, and I believe we can and should alleviate some of that for Roxi

That's great news. I will now attempt to convince my entire family to cancel their Spotifies and move our family plan over

Rook @boxen.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, hell yeah! Okay, this is great, especially the "paying artists more" part. Last question: do you know if they have a built-in way to transfer playlists from other services like Spotify? It's not a dealbreaker if they don't; it'd just make it easier to switch.

I just realized my portfolio has "most characters in profile and 3/4 turns face the same direction" syndrome. I really gotta fix that soon... easy to flip canvases, hard to muster time/energy

Share Absurdia with that friend that is still listening to WTNV, the two that like Gravity Falls and The Twilight Zone, and that one that is totally normal about Alice in Wonderland!

At 25k I (and other really cool folks!) get to write for the game!

Hmmmm that's very compelling. Thank you! Am I misremembering that Tidal is directly tied to Kanye West, though?

Does anyone have any thoughts about YouTube music as an alternative to Spotify? What about Pandora? It's way past time I get tf off Spotify

Public Access has become one of my all-time favorite TTRPGs. Not just because of the tight gameplay, weaponized-nostalgia, or horror; but because of the incredible community over at The Gauntlet I've found myself a part of for the last 3 years.

Get. This. Game. You will not regret it.
