just finished the playtest of Haunted Paws with a friend and it was really good! great co-op, just the right balance of silly and spooky. still pretty buggy but nothing I wouldn't expect from something still in development. I'm really looking forward to its release now!

good news: my throat doesn't really hurt anymore (shoutout to warm saltwater gargles)

bad news: my whole entire respiratory system hurts and I keep coughing and sneezing at the same time

update: cold caught 🤧 throat is killing me, kinda congested, generally feel yucky, but not so yucky that I can't function.

rare benefit of feeling sick all the time is that piling on a little extra barely even registers lol
both of my parents came down with a cold this week, so my sister and I opted to cancel book club this week in case I've also picked up the bug, and now I am experiencing what I can only describe as Pre-Cold Oogies. so that was probably a wise move on our part.

how it started vs how it's going

sometimes I think maybe I'm being unfair to the ACNH soundtrack and then I'll listen to the one for City Folk/Wild World and just. sigh so deeply.

shocked by how much a good or bad narrator makes an audiobook considering how often I use a text-to-speech reader for news articles and stuff all the time and am kind of used to hearing stories in a robot voice
November 16, 2025 at 12:56 AM
hey this is kinda random but was anybody gonna tell me that K.K. Slider knows how to do Mongolian throat singing or was I just supposed to find that out myself
November 15, 2025 at 6:10 AM
sometimes I'll think maybe I'm too hard on the acnh villager personalities but then I'll talk to two different villagers and get the exact same line from them and just sigh

but one did randomly show up at my house and that was really cute? more of that please

I was talking about this in therapy the other day but I think one of the reasons I come back to Animal Crossing games when I feel my absolute shittiest is because it's a good low-stakes way to practice skills that don't come naturally to me but I don't really notice because it's a video game.
November 15, 2025 at 12:10 AM
animal crossing island decorating progress is slow going. I've been alternating between stuff to listen to while I build cliffs or dig rivers or whatever but I feel kind of gross today so not much is sticking. but I got a start on an audiobook and watched a few episodes of father ted at least.
November 14, 2025 at 6:27 AM
Just want everyone to know I have officially selected a new favorite Animal Crossing villager and that villager is Murphy.
November 14, 2025 at 4:30 AM
playing acnh and I love you time travel I love you treasure islands I love you cheating as an accessibility tool I love you curating one's own experience and playing with one's toys in a way that maximizes personal enjoyment

I found this neat ACNH island planner and it's been SUCH a major help since it lets me fuss around with the general layout without getting too bogged down by details (and it's a huge time-saver compared to actually doing all this in-game first)

I can't wait to bring my vision to life😤

the Brilliant app continues to be very fun but I am not the strongest at math so it has also been very Humbling

and by that I mean it had me scratching my head over Bayes' theorem for the better part of two hours last night (I think I get it now but please don't ask me to explain or apply it)
November 12, 2025 at 12:06 AM
I've been reading this book that's basically united states economics for morons (that's me!) and I just finished the chapter on the stock market and I gotta say, I'm no less convinced that the stock market isn't just astrology for boys. still just sounds like gambling with extra steps to me idk man!

just wanna remind everyone that SNAP still hasn't gone out for most states (my own included) and the Supreme Court blocked the court order demanding the release of those funds.

SNAP serves 1 in 8 Americans. do you know 8 people? then you know someone who is hungry right now.
November 9, 2025 at 3:25 AM
this exact situation happened to me when I was chatting with someone while working the polls on Tuesday and you know what, it's still true!
I once again keep getting asked if I’m going to school at the ripe age at 31. Here’s a comic I made 3 years ago
November 8, 2025 at 12:38 AM
speaking of sobering reminders it's probably also worth reiterating that SNAP has still not gone out and we're living in the genesis of a mass starvation event in America. my SNAP would normally reload on the 6th (tomorrow). I've been hoarding what I have leftover but not everyone can do that.
November 5, 2025 at 11:29 PM
went to bed pleased with the recent shift in american politics, woke up to my car being broken down and undriveable for at least the rest of the week. a sobering reminder of how politics is both relevant and not at all relevant when you're poor. democratic suits can't fix my car. probably.
November 5, 2025 at 10:15 PM
I love winning and socialism
