28 y.o. Gay 🏳️‍🌈. Eagerly engaged.
Just a fellow trying to find interesting people and things.
Life-long gamer, new furry (no OC yet), and dork trying his best.
Say hi, I'm always looking for new friends.
I also go by Cheshirefiend.
Two of the greenhouses I work in are having serious ant problems, and now I can't stop feeling them all over me 😵‍💫
Not the best way to start the day if I'm being honest.

So my hubby went to that Big Time Rush concert on Sunday, and the gal he was with asked him what kind of music I like. He said my favorite artist was Aviators, based on how often I listen to him in the car. A very good answer, it seems singing My Church at least once per trip rubbed off on him lol.

This social media thing is hard.
I'm not looking to popular or anything silly like that, but looking at communities and fandoms that I want to be part of makes me feel like I'm back in high school. Everyone already has their groups and cliques, and I feel like an intruder for wanting to join.

Finally ordered my first Trench Crusade warband. I'm looking forward to learning how to play with my Pilgrims when they arrive.
My next concern is finding someone to play with lol.

At the House of Blues to see Men I Trust. My fiance is really excited, although the high 90s temp did make the wait a bit draining. It's going to be a grand old time 👍

It's my day off, and absolutely nothing sounds good. Most games sound like too much investment, I have no one to play anything multi-player with, and I still can't force myself to try my hand at model painting. I'm both restless and incapable of really going anywhere.
Suggestions welcome.

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.

So don't let it go away. Keep it going.

In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

I'm tired and have had a long week. Here's a picture of my dogs that always makes me happy.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.
Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

To any Trench Crusade players, satisfy my curiosity.
What faction caught your eye first/most and why?

We got a new sign for the pesticide closet at the lab.

Please, it’s an emergency.
We urgently need to raise €6000 as soon as possible to cover life-saving surgery and the treatment of post-surgery infections. Time's running out.

I got on a Trench Crusade binge today, and now I can't stop thinking about potential Trench Pilgrims warband names for when I make one.
"Witnesses of the Steel Sacrement" has a certain ring to it that I like.

Comfy pants, Irish coffee, snuggly dog or 3, and Nosferatu on the screen. Time to make this Monday worth a damn.

Outside of Endless Legend 2 hitting early access, August is looking a little thin in terms of things to be excited about. September is when Trench Crusade officially launches, Silent Hill F comes out, and at least one nearby con returns. It'll feel a bit slow, but it'll be worth it.

This has been a weekend of Witchfire, napping, and espresso martini. I don't think I could ask for a better end to a long week 😁

One of my coworkers brought in a duckling to the lab this week, and I got to pet it.
Top that. I dare you.

The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) AKA The Big Bullshit Censorship Bill is now up on @5calls.org

We’ve already seen the results of this over the last few days in the U.K. with their Online Safety Act (OSA). Let’s make sure it dies off again. Call your reps ☎️

Visa and Mastercard released their public statements on censorship!

Visa and Mastercard are pretending they don't make any judgments on legal purchases, but Collective Shout CLEARLY told us they successfully pressured payment processors.

KEEP CALLING! IT'S WORKING!

Doing a movie night with my fiancé and his family this weekend, and I need a few recommendations. They tend towards comedy or romance, so I'm looking for either horror or thriller for a bit of contrast.
