@jasonsuriano Who you cheering for again? ;)

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@jasonsuriano Yeah, it's an issue with how characters are viewed as tokens, but I read somewhere that it's being addressed. I'll try to track down the snippet I read.

@JayWatamaniuk You thinking of giving it a go this year? If your mind isn't in a place for fiction, I know I would love to read your thoughts on community engagement, moderation, and writing for some of the biggest gaming IPs of the last few decades. You sir are a superstar.

@kristadb1 So many Dad jokes just popped into my head. I must be getting old.

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@PhilAthans Both. It can be both :) Enjoy the warmth and sun! Then find a basement. Oh and don't forget the basement dank factor. It has to be dank for the full Seattle winter effect.

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@JayWatamaniuk It won't be much in the blip of your career, but feel free to add me and I'll write a review for the excellent work you did for our game and all the help you've given me over the years as I worked my way to becoming a professional writer/editor.

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

Pretty excited for #Baldursgate3 from @larianstudios, just wish they'd made their co-op useable by an average gaming group 4+1 (GM). Instead of limiting the multiplayer campaign to a party size of 4 it probably should have been 6. Oh well.

Only a few more hours until the #YEG rock show begins. I'm stoked!

#blink182 is back and I feel like I'm 20 again!
Well except the knees.
Fecking knees.

For #ADHD brains, “relaxing” often means *taking a break from self regulating.*

Letting your brain do what it wants.

Making myself focus on something “relaxing” — or fighting my brain if it wants to work — isn’t relaxing. It’s draining.

Let your brain wander sometimes.

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@PhilAthans Needed to hear this today :) Thanks!

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@JayWatamaniuk Sounds like it was a productive day!

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@kristadb1 Today is going to be hard, but damn was Worf lucky to have you <3

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

Haha, okay I needed that laugh! Thanks for sharing your adventures @danidonovan 😆

I was so happy that after YEARS of accidental plant murder, I’d finally managed to keep one alive

But upon closer inspection this morning, it turns out I’ve been watering a fake succulent for the last 5 months

I regret never seeing him take the stage. He was my first intro into the world of Rock/Metal as my buddy Mike and I belted the lyrics to Crazy Train!

Hoping he gets to do a few livestreaming performances while his voice holds strong.

[Ozzy Osbourne @OzzyOsbourne]

This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my loyal fans…

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@PenwellWrites I keep seeing Screenrant and CBR freelance job posts for content writers on LinkedIn? Checked them out?

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

Gah! Why am I doing this? Am I subconsciously punishing myself? Why else would I binge #TheWalkingDead start to finish? But I should stop, no... Alpha's gotta get got! Grrr 😤

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@taprootyeg really enjoyed the Pulse this morning! @mastermaq thanks for going all in with the hydrogen news! So cool!

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@EveKoguce I think this question, better than most arguments, points to the weakness of star ratings and the ranking system it creates. It requires explanation by the person giving the rating, but only a few will read it. Sorry, yes; they're still a friend, I'd be happy they read my story.

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@HowtoADHD Diagnosed as an adult (37 when I accepted it might be a thing and sought professional help) I've had a good look back over the last 5 years since starting medication and developing tools (you have been a big part of that - thank you).

[Derrick Ferry @dferryonline]

@HowtoADHD (ATB)
Impulsively; all the ups and downs that come with it. I've loved with hyperfocused intensity, cheated, and held out hope for far too long. An amazing friend, son, and partner, but a terrible one too; and often all but oblivious to my position within the social pecking order
