No cheesesteak games, but here’s my hits:

The game I bought that I’m most excited to play when I get home is BOOP, a really clever 2-player spatial strategy game about cats.

I don’t know if it only makes sense without the periphery stuff, but Nier has books, stage plays, etc. I once asked Taro about this and how are English fans supposed to keep up and he looked confused and asked “Why would you need to keep up? Who needs all of that?”
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

A few years back @friends-table.bsky.social brought me on to illustrate a series of in-universe pulp novel covers for their mecha season ‘Palisade’. Initially these shipped out as postcards to their patreon subs. Excited to be sharing these. heres the first..

"how did you get into ttrpgs"

The moment I was born, TTRPGs pinned my shadow to the earth with a large brass nail and tore it from me. This is my first memory, the seed of many hours of therapy to come.
"how did you get into ttrpgs"

i got hit by a truck and woke up here
"how did you get into ttrpgs"

Oh, ttrpgs killed my parents so i swore to play as many as i can to absorb their power

i have seen some of the unreleased playbooks in action during my playtest campaign and they rule. they rule so hard. i cannot wait for everyone to see how weird this game can be.
Realis is coming sooner than you think! Sign up to be notified at launch when the print edition of @austinwalker.bsky.social's TTRPG goes live in 2026, and start bracing yourself for all the additional art, player options, and GM resources being added to the game: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

this video is for me
My latest video is a brief overview of some duet games I think slot well into comparisons of Wicked! This is unabashedly an algorithm play, but I still shout out "Tangled Blessings," "Break Up on ReEntry," "A Knife to Your Throat," "Soft Shell," and "It's Been a Long Time Coming."

this is admittedly why i take a more "interpretive" approach to my cosplay. 1:1 accuracy is very impressive but unfortunately i love being a lil freak too much
I think most artists hit a point where they’re like, well if I can’t be the best artist, I shall be the most ME artist.

hello im birdie. i like beads, meticulous detail, storytelling photo shoots, and cosplaying unlikeable women from whatever weird source material is lighting up my brain at the moment.

Hello! I'm fabrickind, a queer cosplayer of 20+ years from the PNW. I like bunnysuits, cosplay photography, weird old JRPGs, & vintage ecchi anime

I also love making tutorials and resources (haven't done so in a bit because *gestures*) but I do con panels & build threads

You are allowed to have a hot take about cosplay and post it online ONLY on days where you’ve done at least 4 hrs of work on your own personal cosplay and thus acutely remember the time, effort and expense involved. Resets at midnight every day. This is now LAW, article 6, subsection C, yadda yadda.

If you’re wondering what a “least weasel” is, they absolutely live up to the name. This is the least amount of animal you can have that can still meet the bar for “is weasel”
