I'm Starting To Worry About This Black Box Of Doom by Jason Pargin. (Audiobook) A modern-age story: what happens when internet "detectives" jump to conclusions about what is happening and why? Full of great twists and turns and gives some interesting commentary on social media use. Good read!

Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson audiobook read by Michael Kramer A standalone "Princess Bride"-like story set in a cool magical setting I've heard that the Cosmere novels have some excellent settings, but I was intimidated by the quantity of books This is a really good entry point

Cover for the audiobook "Tress of the Emerald Sea" a green full moon sits behind the silhouette of a girl in a green dress holding a yellow teacup.

Survivor 49. My partner and I got SUPER into Survivor and watched from season 1 in early 2020 until we caught up to the current season at the time. (I may apply to be on it someday, who knows) 49 was "fine", I disliked the main finalists, but some of the new challenges were cool. Excited for S50!

The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin (Audio Book). An excellent end to an incredible series. I bounced off of The Fifth Season a few years back because it has a REALLY serious/tough start, but I gave it another go in '25 and got hooked Jemisin has such a unique style & her parallels to real life are 👨‍🍳🤌🏼💋

Undertale is SO full of heart! Thanks for your hard work, Toby Fox!

See tattoo, post tattoo ----- Mario RPG is the game that made me want to make games. I got this tattoo commissioned by a good friend, @ayceeart.bsky.social, in 2015 long before we knew an HD remake was coming. Thanks 1 million Aycee 💚

Post a meme made by you

Elsa, from the Frozen 2 movie, a white woman with blonde hair tied in a long braid, is standing at a balcony looking longingly while a heavy set balding man is walking up behind her.

Text reads, "I'm of this Earth, these people. I'm tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives." (A quote from Dr. Manhattan from Watchman)

I made a silly meme of Episode 31 of #DanJonesAndDragons thanks to @bryceandrobot.bsky.social 😆 @causeimdanjones.bsky.social @sarenstone.com

A poor formatted image in the "Slaps Car Roof" meme format.

Coil's head from "Dan Jones and Dragons" is poorly layered over the salesman's face. On the left is a poorly inserted black dragon.

Text over the image reads: "Coil: *Slaps the dragon with a greatsword* This bad boy can fit so many hits"

This is getting out of hand. Now there are 1k if them. But seriously: If you followed me without realizing that I talk about things like #CovidIsNotOver, #FreePalestine, #TransRights, #UnityTips and #GameDevNews, you probably should just leave.

The meme of the line from Star Wars Episode 1 Phantom Menace where original text reads, "This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!" but the "two" is scribbled out and replaced with "1k"

2 panel comic of Fred from Scooby-Doo. Panel 1 shows him on the right side, about to reveal the face of a person under a ghost mask with text,"Let's see who caused this bug." Panel 2 shows this person on the left is also Fred.

Text reads, "I don't like JIRA. It's course and rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere."

"JIRA" is a poorly done cover-up of the word "sand"

I think Sisyphus would be much happier if they had a big number at the top of the mountain that incremented with each successful rock push, and also if they let him spend those points on fun stickers for the rock

2 panel meme comic of a white woman screaming at a white cat sitting at a dining table.

Panel 1 (woman yelling) reads, "Me angry at my code for not doing what I programmed it to do."

Panel 2 (cat, looking smug) reads, "My code doing exactly what I programmed it to do."

My kid wanted me to do this "silly beard" before I finished shaving before Halloween. @creativeneurospice.bsky.social describes it as: You look like a background character in "It's Alway Sunny In Philadelphia" Not wrong 😆😆😆

David, a white man with brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses, has his facial hair shaved so that the sideburns connect to his mustache. He is winking with his left eye and pointing to the camera with his left hand in a finger-gun shape while smiling.
