I Don't Know Who Needs To Hear This But Please Please Please Please Please Explore The Settings. Of Your

I don't know who needs to hear this but please please please please please explore the settings. Of your phone, computer, of every app you use. Investigate the UI, toggle some things around and see what happens. You won't break anything irreperably without a confirmation box asking you if you really mean to do that thing. And you can just look up what a setting will do before touching it if you're really worried ok?

Worst case scenario you just have to change the settings back if you don't like what happened but it is so so so important to explore the tools available to you and gain a better understanding for how the stuff you use works.

Even if you already know. Even if you're comfortable with how you use it now. You don't just have to accept whtever experience has been handed to you by default and it's good for you to at least know what's available to you.

The Third Batch of Cards Has Been Mailed/Emailed!

I sent everyone in the third batch an email today that either confirmed your Holiday Card has shipped or included your eCard, so please double check your inbox and junk folders if you haven't seen it come through yet!

Please also wait patiently for your Physical Cards to be delivered; they can take up to 2 weeks to arrive, especially if you live outside the US.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to my Ko-fi to help with PHSI! Your kindness has helped cover 44% of the cards sent this year!

The Third Batch Of Cards Has Been Mailed/Emailed!

The astute among you might have noticed that last week 48% was covered but this week it's only 44%, and might be wondering where the extra 4% went. Let me explain: When more people request a physical card, the total cost spent on cards goes up. If people don't donate to help match the number of requests, the percentage of cards covered goes down. This is why I always mention the need to donate in my posts!

I really hope that people continue to donate and help cover everyone's cards this year. After all, doing something nice for someone else is what PHSI is all about! Please visit ko-fi.com/247testing and click the Donate button if you'd like to give $5 or more to cover the cost of a card for you or someone else.

If you'd like to learn more about the Portal Holiday Spirit Initiative or request a Holiday Card yourself, check my blog's tags for #PHSI 2024!

Thanks everyone!

Imagine

If LEGO made a TTRPG system, providing you an encyclopedia for every kind of piece/item/block they've ever done, including stat modifiers depending on quality. They'd ruin Hasbro without even trying, and might accidentally create a quasi-monopoly on player character figures, due to the ease of customization.

It could also work if that was the premise for another LEGO Movie: group of friends invite the younger brother of one of their players to fill in for him/her, in a TTRPG campaign where they use LEGOs. Our protagonist (both the real guy and his character) feels out of place, that he cannot fill in for his sibling, even though he really likes LEGOs. But through the power of imagination, he finally gets into the groove, providing everyone a wonderful time and successfully defeating the big bad that the GM created for the campaign.

🏚️ Haunted House Commissions Are Back! 🏚️

🏚️ haunted house commissions are back! 🏚️

is your house (or apartment, or rv, or a house you really like from down the street, or a house from a story) haunted? do you wish it was? for a small fee, i'll put ghosts in it for you!

i'm trying out a google form for commissions this time around rather than a first-come-first-serve model. this form will be open for a limited time. probably till around the end of may. i'll have a handful of commission slots to begin with, and i'll pull from the form response pool once more slots start opening up.

want a haunted house? fill out the form here! (reblogs are super appreciated to spread the word! 🫀)
