Milk Bar: my sci-fi RPG set in a post-Soviet Poland is now live on Kickstarter!
Hey folks!!
Milk Bar is a sci-fi tabletop roleplaying game set in an alternate-timeline, post-Soviet Poland. After the Soviets grew in power, their ultimate clash with Capital left your city in ruin. All you can do now is gather your fellow Communards, salvage whatever you can, and build your Milk Bar.
Based on RPGs like Cairn, Mausritter, and Mothership, and video games like Disco Elysium and Control, Milk Bar is a game about the post-collapse and rebuilding.

Bready or not, I present to you: my Daschbun birthday cake! 🥖
We made this a-dough-rable cake live on Twitch as part of our fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital! It's the famous Momofuku Milk Bar birthday cake, topped with birthday cake crumbs, a cinnamon buttercream transfer Daschbun, and little icing breads, croissants, bagels, buns, and cookies!
I never cease to be amazed by the presence of the Starbux milk bars in countries where good coffee can be taken for granted and pleasant cafes are common. Perhaps it is because in those countries, including Argentina, Uruguay, France, Italy and Spain among others, coffee with milk is common only at breakfast or for children. A visit to Starbux is a retrogression to childhood?
heya, hope you’re well :) I collected my folio and final works from my Landscape Design class at my old campus today. We had to leave them there to be marked last June and I’ve been itching to get them back home since late last year.
Folios are similar to albums to me in the way that they are kinda like my children. I spend so much time and energy with them that being without them/losing them is kinda scary. Getting these today was a particularly poignant experience because I feel like I got closure from that part of my life, that a part of me has been reunited with my whole self. It felt very, very nice to do. I also took some cute photos, which I’ll chuck below.
I also finished uploading and syncing the lyrics for all of elsewhere! Yay! They should all be up on Spotify and other platforms soon (some are already up ☺️). Also, I worked on making more of the Slowed + Reverb versions of the songs off of elsewhere. I’m up to ‘singularity’. Anyways, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3
