How Many Gamers Use macOS?

While macOS is traditionally associated with creative professionals and productivity enthusiasts, its appeal among gamers has grown over the years. Despite the dominance of Windows in the gaming world, macOS has carved out a niche. But just how many gamers are using macOS today? Recent statistics reveal that approximately 9.8% of gamers use macOS. This figure reflects a slight increase from…

re: sending an ask about something that makes you hopeful to start off the new year on a good note. this is a personal project that has given me hope! (sorry for the length, i'm a rambler)

next to my house is a shallow creek. when we first moved in the banks were choked with trash, scrap metal from the road, and invasive brush. when it stormed, rainwater would run off the road, turn the creek black, and make it smell like roadkill mixed with chemicals. once we were settled in our house, we decided to try and clean it up a little bit at a time. we got to work replacing the invasive bushes with native groundcover just a few seedlings each season, and every spring since then we've made a tradition of sending out an invite to a bunch of neighbors/extended family/friends to come help clean trash out!

its been a source of hope and pride for me to see how the younger people in our community have gotten excited about taking care of the creek after that first little push. our little ecosystem has slowly improved thanks in part to our efforts: the biodiversity has steadily improved with each passing year, the baby trees we put in are going strong, the wildflowers on the banks are beautiful in the summer and help catch the gravel/muck that slides off the road! Its all very rewarding, and i love the feeling that we have made an impact, even if its a small one :)

anyway, that's something that brings me hope! i wish that 2025 will be an even better year than the ones before, for our little creek and for the world in all. p.s thank you for this blog, it has been a real light for me in the past year <3

!!!!!!! This is amazing!! This is what it's all about - picking a spot where you can make a difference, and then doing it. Small, local impacts make such a huge difference, especially in terms of ecology and ecosystem restoration

What an amazing story, and thank you so much for doing this!! That little creek and the plants and animals that live there are so lucky rn

was having some robb stark thoughts last night trying to fall asleep… sigh

you and robb usually rise in the mornings at the same time. queen & king in the north, you have duties to attend to that force you both out of bed earlier than you’d like. but sometimes, robb has to be up before you.

his weight dips down on the bed as he sits beside your sleeping form, fully clothed & ready to leave. he wants to let you sleep, knows you need your rest—but you’d kill him if he left without waking you up to say goodbye.

his hand comes to tuck your hair behind your ears, soft murmurs of your name rousing you from sleeps hold. he pulls his hand back as you open your eyes, both of you smiling at the sight of the other. you reach out, still half asleep, hand finding robb’s. he brings your hand to his mouth, kissing it as you look up at him—love etched in your pupils. you pull him closer, & robb chuckles at your neediness, voice warm & dripping like honey. he leans in, pressing chaste kisses to anywhere he can reach. he starts at your cheek, trailing down to your jaw and eventually your neck. each kiss grounds you firmer and firmer to the present, pulling you out from the hazy state sleep puts you in.

he eventually stops, resting his head in the crook of your shoulder. he closes his eyes, soaking up your presence before he has to become king in the north. right now he’s just robb, the man you grew up with at winterfell. your hand comes to run through his curls, as your other thumb massages lightly at his temple. he relaxes further into your touch, a groan rising from deep in his chest. robb’s body had been wound up tight during his time at war, as to be expected. the weight of his burdens sit heavy on his shoulders, long days of fighting not only lannister armies, but sometimes his own men—clouding his mind with headaches that only you seem to be able to relieve in the slightest.

“keep doin’ that and I won’t be able to get back up.”

he’s only teasing (he’s completely serious), making you laugh as you retract your thumb from his temple. his eyes flutter open, sighing at his own stupidity, wondering how he could ever ask you to stop making him feel good. his mind takes over, reminding him of his duties. if he doesn’t get up now, he surely won’t be making it out of this tent by high noon. he can already hear greywind rustling from his guard outside the entrance of the tent, warding off someone’s presence.

he gathers his wits, trailing kisses back up your neck. once he gets to your cheek, he even teases by placing a kiss at the corner of your mouth. he smiles at his own antics, proud of himself, before he presses his lips to yours. his hand comes to cradle your jaw, kissing you long & firm, as he sits up. your lips chase his, and he places a quick peck on your lips once more as he stands up. his hand leaves your jaw, and you could almost whine at the loss of his touch.

you watch him turn & walk away, he doesn’t turn around to look at you again, knowing if he does—he’s going right back into your arms. he grabs his sword, opening the flap of the tent & walking out. you stretch, content with his goodbye. you’ll get up in a few minutes, and you’ll see each other around the camp, but it’s the quiet mornings before the world wakes up that keeps you both sane. you smile, hearing robb & theons voices outside the tent as they walk away.

“what took you so long? greywind almost had me for a snack, you know.”

“would be a small meal.”

is screaming at your own writing something u shouldn’t admit cause AHHHHHHH. put me & him in a room tg & we BOTH walking out pregnant.

Just had a vision of Gonta making an entire huge pollinator friendly garden with water features that he expands on constantly and he ropes his classmates in on helping him after the game (mainly because my mom is doing that with her garden and it's awesome)

Can we please challenge people to stop saying "D&D" when they're actually referring to concepts which apply to "TTRPGs" or "roleplay" on the whole, because it undermines a whole genre by attributing its importance to one franchise made by a corporate monopoly.

We don't say "Call of Duty" instead of First Person Shooter, or "Candy Crush" instead of Mobile Game so we really shouldn't do that for D&D.

Question because I feel like you’d know. Is Amy from little planet? I’m seeing people say that she is but I can’t find a source to say that it’s correct?

Hi Hon❤️✨

No, Amy Rose is not from Little Planet. She ventures to Little Planet with hopes of meeting Sonic, but she encounters Metal Sonic instead. (Damn it Beepo!) It’s a very popular headcanon though!😊

Now, if this is a question in reference to the SCU, hmm… I have no idea. We’ll just have to wait and see!😊

Are you a night elf lore nerd or RPer? Do you like scouring books and game worlds for tiny lore details?

Then I encourage you to consider joining the 2025 Night Elf Roleplay Guide Project!

The Night Elf Roleplay Guide by the Silver Circle guild, while a fantastic resource in introducing players new and old to night elf lore, is in sore need of updating. All expansions from Legion and onwards, as well as all the novels published since then, will need to be closely examined for any and all lore details to bring the guide up to date.

This is a huge endeavor, and the more help the better! Please read through the forum post above if you're at all interested.

(And reblog for visibility if you're so inclined!)
