Beheadings are on Wednesdays, so that tracks.

Worf from Picard S3, saying “Beheadings are on Wednesdays.”

Happy Pride, Norrathians! www.everquest.com/news/eq-prid... Look at these three new adorable clothy-furballs to join the FREE Pride familiar group this year! All previous years' familiars remain available for free during Pride, as well.

An EverQuest screenshot. It features three clothwork 'red panda' models. The one on the left is Erollisi's Openheart Panda (Nonbinary flag colors), the middle is Erollisi's Aceheart Panda (Asexual flag colors), and the right is Erollisi's Freeheart Panda (Pansexual flag colors). The three red pandas are surrounded by a faint rainbow filter.

The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)

Little Monsters partial movie poster from 1989. Err, I mean Mandalorian and Grogu. But not really. Man... Fred Savage was young.

Hey all! I’m not at GDC, but this is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike! My name’s Melissa (she/her/any), and I have over 20 years experience in the game industry, from AAA to start-ups, and from customer service, community, and QA, and now in content/narrative design for Darkpaw Games the past 5 years. 😺

A selfie of a 40s-yo woman and 40s-yo man, with my hair at shoulder length. I am holding up a FippyFest Staff badge (2024), and wearing a bright blue Fippy Fest staff t-shirt. The man is my partner who accompanied me, and he has a big ol’ fluffy beard.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. We love you for who you are. We mourn for those who lost their lives from senseless violence for being who they are. Continue to be who you are. I'm going to have this guy running around with me on EverQuest Beta today, because y'all will never be forgotten.

An in-game screenshot from EverQuest of Erollisi's Trueheart Panda, a red panda-like and stuffy-like familiar made of patchwork blue, white, and pink, including the transgender flag on its sides. It has the name "Zieri's familiar" above its head.

Fun fact: today was Day 365 of my streak on Finch app, too. 🐥

A cute purple and teal cartoon bird ("birb") with its wings on its hips and smiling happily. The text says "365 day streak", and "Finch: Self-Care Pet" at the bottom.

Oldest selfie on my phone. 2015!

I was *that person* at the gym today. 🤭😅Yrrggllggrrl! 🎃

Ah, grackle season. Outside every HEB like it’s the store’s personal choir.

"I was married but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle."

From the movie Spaceballs, it's the RV-spaceship, Eagle 5, floating through space at sublight.

At least you shouldn't have to deal with this, unlike others.

A Starbucks cup that appears to have the name "Shat" on it. The subtitled text says "Chad".

Welcome to Shattering of Ro Beta, #EverQuest players! Preorder gets you in, and we'd love to have you. In the meantime, I'm in spreadsheets, so don't mind if I take a bit of an in-game nap while AFK. 😘

An in-game screenshot from EverQuest, with the green-named (GM+) 'Kitteh Zieri the Shattered' in guild <Way of the Feline> in a bovoch illusion, curled up in a sleeping position (feigned death). A bovoch in EQ/EQ2 is a cow / t-rex hybrid. It looks as silly as it sounds. Moo.

New hair, who dis?

Darn temptation. I am supposed to be behaving, Starbucks! Luring people like me back with protein milk. Ha!

YouTube's being unintentionally funny. (ICYMI, not a real injury. 🫶)

From the YouTube website, under the Shorts heading, the first video displayed (left) shows "What happens if Karlach uses too many Soul Coins..." The second video (right) shows "Paul Rudd's Burn Injuries" with the on-video caption of "I don't know." (Additional context: Karlach is a tiefling barbarian from Baldur's Gate 3 who has an infernal engine in her chest, in place of her heart. Soul Coins make her engine run hotter. Ouchie!)

Melissa Comeau@firepuff· Aug 26

Happy happy #PSL day!

On a desk, a hot venti pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks with the word “yum” written in orange marker. Funko Pop figures of an owlbear, Astarion, and a dragon in a gelatinous cube all look on in approval.

Double rainbow action go! 🌈

Looking out over the central Texas hill country, where there is a primary rainbow and a faint secondary rainbow outside of it. The sky is multicolored pink and lavender.

Post a screenshot of your first 5 steam purchases and let Bluesky judge you. From Steam, click your name (top-right) > account details > view purchase history and scroll down. The Dig being the first. I still replay that occasionally. <3 Patricians and Merchants was totally my husband's. Haha.

A cropped screenshot of some old Steam purchases, in order of original purchase, The Dig (July 14, 2009), Mass Effect (2007) (March 29, 2011), Borderlands GOTY (July 10, 2011), Broken Sword - Trilogy pack (August 12, 2011), and Patricians and Merchants (August 12, 2011)
