Finale for a game I've been in since January or so.
William Riker-expy died, disaster lesbian died, timeblind kitsune with no concept of gender or modernity - oddly doing great.
Kyoka (It/Its) is a crab-eating fox. It exists to make scary noises. It loves rap. It just learned about cassettes.

Cuck Schumer has truly earned his title.
He playfully says no, while he sits pleased. He delights in watching us get fucked. Its all play theatre for him.
May his rotted heart fail him as quickly as he has failed the American people. May he be forgotten for all history.

Just kinda riding the wild waves of not having my meds til, god willingly, tomorrow.
Framed out a bunch of contingencies/ideations for how to make playing as a spouse in CK3 potentially fun. Should probably re-learn how to mod that game.
It'd be fun to make that more a feature for campaign play.

Next offer from this company in its continued restructuring is half what they're currently offering me, so that ain't happening.

This is actually a genuine call for insight:
I have some projects I wish to devote myself to next month.
But at this juncture, I'm either starting one that is pretty much new - or having to gut/re-order one that is almost complete.
Those are my options.
There's no way around it. Which to pick?

I'm realizing I've finished a surprisingly large amount of narrative video games this year. I usually only think of myself as playing sandboxes and simulations, but I suppose those fit more with my "play an hour or so" rogue-like mentality about a lot of things.
Realized also, my DLC mindset.

People have chosen to laugh at that waste of skin for the wrong reason.
The funny thing is that every day, every moment, every terrible choice leads him closer and closer to that which awaits all old men.
Like that's the funny thing about it.
That time's arrow seems to have found purchase.

Well.
Love it when they call in all my meds but the one that I am actually running low on.
We had a doc visit today too and everything.
Such that it is. These things happen. Just a bit inconvenient.

Looking back at the d66 of backgrounds I did for Yatra.
I think I was doing tragedian things before I intended to; as most of these travelers are coming from places of sadness. Which makes sense, journeys are paths of discovery and ways to enlighten the self.
But also, there's a bit of bleakness.

Worm McGurk: "That's what I'm saying Peter, he was a fool of a Took - all right?"
Peter: "Yep."
McGurk: "A fool of a Took. Because he'd take things, you know? He'd take things but in a silly way. And he'd do fool things. He'd wear wigs, Peter."
Peter: "What?"
McGurk: "Or maybe that was Merry."

More whinging on about Irori and some Vudra thoughts, because I know what the audience wants is not what the setting would need with regards to the caste system being handled/dismissed/dealt with.
But that's neither here nor there.
More a realization that I'll drag Irori if I even see his name.

I would like to offer grace in the belief that someone at Paizo has accepted that they tried to make a Buddha-type and ended up making the Demiurge.
Because each time he gets more lore he's actively doing way more /evil/ things. Which does give me some hope for what must occur inevitably in Vudra.

Lol.
Lmao.
Can't wait to find out if this is another sundowning that'll shuffle me about or if I'm free proper to do other work.
Crunch is bizarre and these fools keep overpromising and doing more pizza party nonsense.
That said, guess I'll get what I can before it burns down. Again.
It's funny.

Monster Core 2 is out, and I got to have a fun time consulting with @bigprawn.bsky.social on Asura matters. They still wish to obliterate reality, but now they're sort of unequivocally correct in their desires.
Enough to give your planar good guys some existential crisis via a false immaculate.

I am having anxiety attacks.
I know why and there's really way for me to deal with it as it remains beyond my control. I could cut my caffeine intake a good bit, and will, but that leads to its own issues.
I have been a slave to temporality before, but things feel worse now because I brought it on.

The invisible net is an interesting but unpleasant thought exercise. I remember when "living in America" was viewed as beneficial to these sorts of exercises. Among other things.
