I hate when I find myself having to type "that that" ie "now that that is done". In spoken English it's fine because the vowel on the first one is actually ə, but that disappears in written text and the double up becomes incredibly awkward and ugly.

The Tom Holland Singin’ in the Rain Lip Sync in the timeline rule still applies, right?
Ok #ttrpg and #dnd friends, I come bearing a monster.
The Blossoming Mound is believed by some to be a later stage in the lifecycle of the shambling mound. Rarer and more mobile, blossoming mounds wander through the wilderness, sprouting flowers, blossoms, and fruit of every kind as they go. Although not actively aggressive, it will entangle and consume any creatures that get caught in its path, riddling them with woody tendrils and blooming colour.

Every so often I look back at the blog post below, inspired by a @rdonoghue tweet about using one Background, shared among the characters, as a way to kick off a campaign quickly and just say,
"DAMN, that is neat."

❌ we should have daylight when we go to work in the morning
❌ we should have daylight when we come home from work at night
☑️ we shouldn’t have to work so many hours that we have to ration The Sun

Axolotl friend, it's dangerous to go alone, take a fondy friend.
More sketchbook pages, this one all came together in one go.

This is still my favourite thing I've painted this year. It was inspired by the Bolarius D&D setting, and I gifted the original painting to its author.
I'm certain it won't be the last #ttrpg to inspire me (game, or creator!).

I'm glad to see so many new microblog.pub instances popping up! Shoutouts to the ones with theme overhauls, my personal favorites are @cocoa@thread.seam.rip, @andreas@social.avoel.de, @cwt@c3po.bashell.com, @blog@blog.nikisoft.one, and especially @ash@acegiak.net . Incredible work @dev@microblog.pub!
(If you can read this line, I've successfully implemented ActivityPub updates!)

This is running on Cloud Run!
Playing around with the styling and presentation of my masto/fedi compatible #microblogpub homesite, and I've stumbled on an interesting question: Do the pictures/attachments for a post go before or after the text content?

@TheRaDR@mstdn.social Welcome to Mastodon!

Kookaburra refuses to budge..
Everyone's making their explanations of mastodon too complicated. It's Twitter but run by communists and you have to ask your mate who is already on it where to sign up.
Made a lot of progress updating Ruins to #Godot4 yesterday which is great except for the fact that it's absolutely procrastination to avoid doing the rewrite of the history system I've been needing to do for ages.

Here's a pinecrab
#ScreenshotSaturday for #ProjectWeirdLittleGuy this week features this little fella by Zé Burnay that I absolutely fell in love with on Twitter and wanted to try recreating in 3d. Here's Pinecrab modeled in #Blender and procedurally animated in #GodotEngine with #Godot4's new skeleton modification stack. #gamedev

It's been a while since the last #microblogpub updates:
- As usual, plenty of bug fixes and small improvements
- Testing a way to customize the index/home page (and adding custom pages/routes in Python) - more on that later
- Playing with full-text search (for now only for "local objects")
And thrilled to see more and more instances 
Do y'all remember that one guy who got rich by investing his family's blood emerald money in one shitty website, shot a car into space, and then lost all the money buying another shitty website?
What is it about masto/fedi that makes it less feel less appropriate to shitpost on? I'm currently posting on both fedi and cohost and all my shitposts and silliness feels more at home on cohost while my more coherent thoughts end up on fedi. And that's a problem for fedi I think.
