Realized it's been ages since I updated my #promosky, so time to do that now!

I am a 33yo she/they from New Jersey.
I am a #writer and lover of #cozygames, #TTRPGs, #anime, #manga, #learning, #etymology, #mythology, #art, and many other things.

Now, tell me about you!

The only other thing I can think of is Izuna because of that game series about a ninja girl with that name lol

Last time I restarted X, I named my froakie Frogger. But it was also a boy... And I tend to just make simple/silly nicknames based on whatever they make me think about when I do it.

You know you're pathetically clumsy when you find a bruise on your arm and spend half an hour trying to figure out which thing you bumped into caused it... And realize it wasn't your clumsiness for once.

(It's from bloodwork, I realized. I forgot I got some done this week...)

I kinda just went for chaos with this hoard xD

The way I remember flying types two major weaknesses that come to my mind are 'fire is used to cook birds' and the old adage 'two birds, one stone'.

... That said, I'm horrible with other types and such. Like steel.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 8d

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are looking up at the same spot in the ceiling.
Green: Do we have a dead moth on the ceiling?
Blue: No. It's alive.

Green turns to look at Blue, whose eyes are still on the moth.
Green: It's what?
Blue: It sits in a different spot every morning.

Both of the foxes return to looking up at the moth.
Green: Should we do something about it?

Now Blue turns to look at Green, who keeps staring at the moth.
Blue: Make it pay rent?
Green: I think it flinched.

This just makes me remember that book at my gastroenterologist's office 'Everybody Poops'. I never did notice it as if it was excluding Pokemon. Now I see why.

BREAKING: Pokémon poop now!

In Japan, Pokémon Legends: Z-A mentions Pikachu pooping, but the game's English-language translation adjusts the dialogue to Pikachu experiencing "tummy troubles." Regardless, it's official: Pokémon poop. bit.ly/3WJjoUI

Totally understandable. I hope the new job goes great!

GM Tip: Reuse themes and motifs. Repetition with variation gives your world a rhythm, builds symbolic weight and helps reinforce mood and meaning.

I made this puzzle room with a very simple puzzle in mind using switches. That said, I didn't actually do the programming for it- I only used the events to denote what the idea was. I need to start thinking about types of puzzles I want to include in games... Besides this one, obvs.

This one I was playing around with shapes and layers and stuff. I really had fun making it, though I'm honestly not sure if it fully fits the theme. (Also, sorry for the white box this time. I was doing so well hiding it until now in recent maps! >W<)

Really not sure I made it look like a 'swamp' but... I did work on making the water look deep/murky and had fun with layering some more!

These are amazing looking! I must lurk your stuff now. :)

Jaluna Rolik @jrolik.bsky.social · 4d

Even just knowing there are plans for it at all makes me happy! Thanks for sharing either way! :)

Pretty sure explosions eliminate someone holding them too! Just in a different way lol.

Good news! My nerves are finally starting to recover from past damage and surgery. I can feel my hand again!

Bad news! My nerves keep spazzing out while rebuilding and I keep getting randomly itchy from it.

#PostOp

Really glad about the feeling in my hand being more constant, though.

Sounds interesting to me. My brain immediately thinks of hot potato when I read the base concept though.

...Also potati sounds better than potatoes but why???

And funny story... I knew the song I wanted to listen to but couldn't remember the title. Luckily, I was able to message Mark of @markofthemusic.bsky.social to say, "Hey which song had this lyric again?" I'm so glad he's so understanding of my memory problems >w<

(Also sorry for tagging you twice!)
