So if you wanna try and influence next year's Community Game-Along, or if you have any brand new theme ideas you'd like to pitch, get 'em in while you have the chance!

The 2026 Community Game-Along banner. There are three rows of pictures. The top row from left to right is question mark, a screenshot from Monster Prom, question mark, and a screenshot from Donkey Kong Bananza.

Middle row is two question marks, art from the game Quartet, and another question mark.

Bottom row is art from the Gradius Origin collection, Silent Hill F, Va-11 Ha-11 a, and a question mark.

At the bottom of the banner is a list of the game-along themes, revealing only the six legacy themes.

The other months are labeled "???"

We do, because it’s things we can’t get streaming like imported gaming OSTs. Then we rip them - strictly for our own use - and make lil streams of them only we can access aha… ^^;

FWIW…as someone who used to collect stats for gauging interest levels (gaming industry, not music) piracy usually indicated a higher degree of engagement than “streaming” (game pass, prime games, tiny pc subs) XD

Not 100% sure if music follows that trend? Tho not every gaming company felt the same!

Interesting to learn this. He was banned from RPGamer’s forums, largely the reason why I blocked him on the bird site when he was getting popular many years ago. Been a mutual block ever since (including here, so I missed the start of this round’s drama) XD

Somewhere along the way, people seem to have forgotten “actions speak louder than words” isn’t just a cute turn of phrase.

Andi Privitere (Paws) @pawsrpg.bsky.social · 1d

I blocked him like…a decade ago on Twitter and did the same when I left there for here, so I’ve clearly missed the newest drama 😹

Andi Privitere (Paws) @pawsrpg.bsky.social · 1d

Yes he’s very trying indeed 😹

Ramza had real main character energy.

Tho I don’t remember speed being capped at 50 in the original release 🤨

I see authors doing this. “I would never use AI in my writing! But look at this cute GenAI art I made for advertising lol”

Uhh. No. You go on the ‘welp never gonna read their stuff again’ list X.x;

Right, it’s an uncommon error and only shows up in *really* specific circumstances; colour device, black background, not a Kindle.

In general, this won’t stop be from reading a book, and the blue is so much better than the smoke grey I can barely read, which is the most common goofed text colour.

Also the headers are just straight up busted. No idea what they should look like, but I’m guessing at the very least the name of the POV char is supposed to be centered!

Andi Privitere (Paws) @pawsrpg.bsky.social · 2d

Exactly.

It’s an edit that was inserted, but wasn’t ever normalized in whatever program they used. As you know, a lot of Kindle devices display black and white — so this doesn’t show up until you’re on a full colour device (like my tablet running the app) X.x;

Authors, this isn’t a dealbreaker, but please please make sure someone checks your books in the Kindle app and in portrait mode for formatting issues like this.

Fighting My Bully was the first book I read, so it’ll always be a top title, but Cleric of Desire edges it out slightly.

Since it's October, I thought it'd be fun to do a quick thread of fan art for the bog witches who show up in the GryphIns series.

You can find the books at: books2read.com/rl/gryphonin...

Banner 🎨 by @yotenotes.bsky.social

A Happy Halloween banner with a spider on it and two gryphosn below it with candy fish in a cauldron. All in a happy, chibi style by YoteNotes. One gryphon is pumpkin, a bog witch with pumpkin-orange markings. The other is Soft Paws, with a light blue skeletal pattern on her.

If you’re buying locally from girls working at a stand, ask them what their fave flavour is and buy a box for them.

You can also donate directly to some troops!

When I see people complain about Pokemon games being too simple or tutorialized I'm always reminded of Bender on Futurama complaining that the slides in the fast food playground won't support an adult robot.
