Views are my own.
I was in a Discord VC last night, sharing my screen.
@ashleycooper.bsky.social says, "Can we talk about how you own 3 Annos?"

So, it became known that I really like city builders. I filtered my games library to show the ones I own on Steam and received a chorus of "omg, Victoria"s

This is fine.😅

I got hungry while looking at social media yesterday. So I went to the grocery store and bought:

- a roasted chicken
- boxed scalloped potatoes
- boxed stuffing

And then made peas and a salad.

Sometimes you gotta eat that Betty Crocker.

I missed proper Thanksgiving 'cos I was sick.

There's also Hoopla which works the same way. I like it better than Libby because there are no holds. You get it the second you borrow it.

Plus, it has more digital media than Libby.

The only drawback is that you're limited to 5 borrows a month. Bit between the two apps, you're golden.
There's an app called Libby that lets you punch in the info on your library cards, and will then give you centralized access to all of that based on which libraries you have a card with, so you aren't even limited to just what you live near any more

"How do I find my art style?"
I've been a creative pro for 10 years, this is the number 1 question I get.

They want creative work to be recognizably theirs in an instant-- like Miyazaki or Wes Anderson movies.

This is the formula for art style, it's much simpler than you think.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I've had my Brother printer for eons. It's great.
This is the funniest piece imaginable in the dull world of the otherwise sickly sycophantic tech review.

For real. Read it, even if you don’t give a rat’s ass about printers.

I fell into it.

I went from concert singing and theatre to programming to classics to hr to creator to community management.

I didn't really choose it, it just happened.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Jennifer English realizing she's a lesbian and falling in love with one of her mocap directors (Aliona Baranova) over the course of making BG3 and seeing all the queer folks embracing Shadowheart and the impact the game had is genuinely one of the best stories in game production in a long time
Congrats to Jennifer English for winning the Best Lead Performer award at the 2025 #GoldenJoystickAwards!

And her acceptance speech about queer joy was a love letter to @aliona.bsky.social 🥹🌈

It was probably the network card and my network card is built into the board. I'm supposed to find out today.

Ugh. Pricey and incredibly inconvenient.
There was a power flicker. My computer stopped connecting to the Internet.

Spent an hour with tech support. Have one last thing to try (waiting on an Ethernet cable delivery) and if it isn't that, something happened to my computer physically and I'll have to take into the shop.

UGH!
