I cannot wait! The latter half of #LeverageRedemption S1 were some of my favourite TV of last year, and I am very excited to squee about it with two of my favourite people next weekend at #Capricon42! I have SO MANY FEELINGS, y'all.

My mom just introduced me to the American version of the lip-sync game show I Can See Your Voice, and I am having a lot of feelings, some of which are #SoundclashRPG feelings.

Achievement unlocked: wine cork breaks two corkscrews. Lawd almighty. So I guess I’m having even more Cabernet.

A mild technical snafu (I've been having a lot of that lately 😒) but we should be ready to DUEL in just a few minutes!

I haven’t played Yu-Gi-Oh! on paper in almost a decade. The last time I watched the anime was Arc-V, when they introduced maybe the wildest summon mechanic ever.

In an hour I’m gonna make a fool of myself playing YGO Master Duel on http://twitch.tv/therisingtithes for your amusement!

I don’t randomly geek out about simply unlocking a thing in a game, but I spend so much of my idle moments between work or other stuff playing Cookie Run: Kingdom that when I finally rolled Hollyberry, aka the best Defense in the game, I just had to snap a screenshot.

tfw you agonisingly realise one the most fun sessions of an actual play you've recently had is also plagued with the worst audio and connection problems you have had on twitch. I'm gonna need to do some troubleshooting later...

Also, lewwe not forget that one time they tried to both threaten us with a 2024 lockdown *and* give Bob Marley the spooky-trailer-song treatment: https://youtu.be/gXlOSEafzhY

Terrible random question of the week:

It is almost two years into most worldwide coronavirus lockdowns.

In that time we have surely witnessed multiple songs, music videos, films, & other media referencing the pandemic.

What're some of the silliest COVID media you've seen?

No Chroma Squad today—[redacted] ran for quite a bit this evening, and I’m quite knackered.

But, question: I’m thinking that if all goes well (or, let’s be honest, if all goes poorly), I wanna play Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel for Wednesday’s Twitch stream. Would you be into that?

This @FoldableHuman video is deeply frightening about engaging with the potential future of the internet—not merely the shell game of a new digital capital object, but the potential threat of what it can be used to do when it isn't just strange art.

I'm trying not to give Twitter a lot of room in my brain any more, & I'm grateful that I had no idea what this wildness was until two minutes ago, but also if being a bad date was a doxxable offense everyone and their grandmother would be off the grid in the woods right about now

I'm convinced 'West Elm Caleb' is just a New York City egregore manifesting in the phones of people who shouldn't be on Tinder

me: ey Holly’s THE SMALLEST OF BONES is on this shortlist! Well deserved! Congrats, @HollyLynWalrath!
