Cleaning out for move and found this notebook where I tracked the amount of perfect pelts I needed in Red Dead 2 and the perfect example of both why I stopped playing it and what a fucking nerd I am

Replaying Dragon Age Veilguard (for some reason, I have diffuse itchings I don’t know how to scratch) and using the photo mode to peek at unreachable areas. I just found this corpse in Dmeta’s crossing, placed in a very suspicious pose on a … giant wheel of cheese. I salute you, whoever did this.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

Really excited, terrified and proud of this one! åEver since Gabriel Knight Mysteries as a kid, detective games have been my absolute favorite game genre. Now, this is obviously constricted to the world and story of Dune, but to be the designer on our own investigation has been SUCH a joy. Check it!

Is everyone’s mom fully delusional or only mine? Today she said not only does she NOT have bad hearing and I’m the problem for mumbling too much, but also that her state-issued hearing aid was a «pedagogical experiment» to trick grandma into getting one too.

Two girls playing around the bridge where I’m taking a swim talking:
Girl: Would you rather be a spider or a fish?
Girl2: Spider.
Girl: Why?
Girl2: Because less people would try to eat me and I would get to eat all the time.
Awesome reasoning.

Listen I know the heat wave in Scandi right now is a joke to most, but remember- buildings here are built to RETAIN heat. We don’t have aircon. Our bodies are confused. We don’t know how to dress for this weather. So I’m just asking if it’s ok if I sleep in the shower. With the water running.
