On top of the dnd games we play, for the past year, we've also been learning Vampire the Masquerade. It has been really fun to learn. It's a very fun system and setting to play. I even wrote character stories for the game between sessions. Definitely a highlight11 Mar 2026 19:43 +0000at://did:plc:mte4vombs6cald5egtlsc3my/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgsnhnptds2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/shamaneffect.bsky.social/post/3lwr2ojwjw22vI want to thank everyone for continuing to post art and stuff during rough times. It really does comfort me on those days. Last week, several things kinda piled on and I wasn't in the best head space. It really did help. Thank you, everyone19 Aug 2025 13:51 +0000at://did:plc:mte4vombs6cald5egtlsc3my/app.bsky.feed.post/3lwr2ojwjw22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/shamaneffect.bsky.social/post/3ltftgepgts26Man, I wish I was better at planning out events. So many friends and cool people were at the con, but I couldn't figure out how to get there myself because of the ride situation. I've heard a lot of good things. Maybe I can figure things out for next time07 Jul 2025 22:27 +0000at://did:plc:mte4vombs6cald5egtlsc3my/app.bsky.feed.post/3ltftgepgts26https://bsky.app/profile/shamaneffect.bsky.social/post/3leizaphskk2bUh oh, the balloons have come for me.

I didn't get bored, we were just eating good in terms of game releases. I took part in Party Animals' Shen Loong event and unlocked all of the skins for Lotus the Dragon. I'm glad I got back into this27 Feb 2024 15:58 +0000at://did:plc:mte4vombs6cald5egtlsc3my/app.bsky.feed.post/3kmfwgo5sgc2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/shamaneffect.bsky.social/post/3kkc67kh5z42bPlaying games from my childhood again. Installing Thief Gold with fan patches to make it play nice on my modern rig. After booting it up again, it feels good to be back. The og Thief games were so cool.31 Jan 2024 17:16 +0000at://did:plc:mte4vombs6cald5egtlsc3my/app.bsky.feed.post/3kkc67kh5z42bhttps://bsky.app/profile/shamaneffect.bsky.social/post/3kihxhlpnku2kHeavily considering a good keyboard upgrade. Do people prefer mechanical or optical switches? The one I currently have is mechanical with clicky switches. Too clicky, picks up way too much on my mic. Looking for a much quieter option.08 Jan 2024 13:41 +0000at://did:plc:mte4vombs6cald5egtlsc3my/app.bsky.feed.post/3kihxhlpnku2khttps://bsky.app/profile/shamaneffect.bsky.social/post/3khrakoqqr22hThe balloons have come for me! For my first b-day here, I want to say this site has been pretty nice so far. I know I don't post much, but I still use it all the time. It's been very chill and I thank everyone for that. Hope today is a great one for everybody30 Dec 2023 12:53 +0000at://did:plc:mte4vombs6cald5egtlsc3my/app.bsky.feed.post/3khrakoqqr22hhttps://bsky.app/profile/shamaneffect.bsky.social/post/3kafqbw7tax2xSo far, the move here has been pretty nice. Past three days, I've been slowly finding all of the good peeps that found their way here and in general, the news on my feed has been way less stressful here. This fresh start feels pretty good27 Sep 2023 21:06 +0000at://did:plc:mte4vombs6cald5egtlsc3my/app.bsky.feed.post/3kafqbw7tax2x
