My friend Luiz, a talented game designer, is itchfunding colored art and layout (by me!) for his game Melody of a Never-ending Summer! MoNS is a bit like if Pokemon met Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley. Check it out and support here: luiz-paulo-ferraz.itch.io/mons

Lin's reporting on this is excellent! I have been in many situations where things got too real too fast and it is exhilarating and exhausting and wonderful and awful all at the same time.

My unsolicited advice for o/u players as someone who bleeds easy is to let recovery be as long as it needs
"Players reported dreaming about Over/Under, losing sleep, even forgetting to eat."

@lincodega.com writes about the intensity of Mothership Month's hyperbaric roleplay experience and the bleed that resulted from a lack of conventional safety tools.
Thirty Days of Bleed
Within a high-pressure, nonstop roleplaying game, denizens of Over/Under found it difficult to extricate their character’s emotions from their own.

It's my birthday on Monday and I literally can't decide if I want to hide in a hole and pretend it doesn't exist or try to have one (1) nice thing this year

I'm currently at the ER taking care of a family member—we don't know what medications we will need to get afterwards, I'm still working through commissions but if anyone can chip in via PayPal or Cashapp it would lift a huge burden from us this Thanksgiving.

hold my hand. I as an ace person give you permission to be ace, to be sex repulsed, to think porn games are icky and yet still believe games with sexual content should exist. it's okay. you're not invalidating yourself by supporting porn games & the people who make them. it's all forms of expression

This is happening in cross-stitch too. There are a lot of people making "patterns" that are just AI pictures or real art that has been run through a pixel filter that doesn't look good, doesn't match up with DMC threads, and doesn't make any sense.
I hate that we have to scrutinize everything🫠

I decided I wanted to be an opera singer when I was 7 years old and now I am one.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Community organizing update from the Oregon coast:
We asked people with lived food insecurity experience what they actually needed. Turns out it's NOT what we thought.
Water-only prep items (many families have no milk/eggs). Seasonings (dignity = flavor).

Toronto folks, can you recommend any professional cleaners with emergency timeline availability? can you help my friend pay for one as part of keeping his dad housed?
I am amazed at everyone's generosity. Thank you all so much.

The next seven days are when I really have to buckle down and get his place in order, but I'm looking at my options for hiring extra help to speed up and professionalize the process.

Jeff's orchestra played Hindemith Symphonic Metamorphoses tonight and I was sitting near the front so I got turn around a look at the reactions of the audience who had already thought the Barber violin concerto was too weird for them and it was very funny.

Also, Hindemith continues to be good
