Finally finding a clip that’s puts to words something that felt weird to me about the game when I played it a while back but was struggling in how to put it is satisfying. I liked the game, but did weirdly think those bits felt…out of place or tact on or strange feeling.
And Roger is a powerful story about what it means to be a caregiver as a loved one enters their final days—and it also has a religious turn that rubbed some of us the wrong way

Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Meds that have made me feel like a normal human and not in pain the past ten days -> GREAT

I am a sane person and sound in mind, but about twice a year I think about the possibility of a particular ex of mine somehow placing a hex on me of some sort for thinking she was done wrong by me that causes me very specific misfortune at the worst of times.

Last night I got my first real, "full" normal night of sleep in days which of course lead me to have such a dorky dream I remembered about being named an assistant coach of a pro OW team.

gaming is only books if the game has a defined ending and then you sit back and think about it
Gaming doesn’t count as screen time. Gaming is books. Unless it’s on your phone - that is screen time. Movies are books unless they are Marvel, who produce screen time. Television is screen time.
