My bad video game habit is playing the first hour or so of something until I get past all the tutorials, deciding I'm not in the mood to play it right now and setting it aside, then coming back months later and not remembering anything I learned in the tutorials but being too stubborn to replay them

Let me tell you, a real plus of having to move back in with my parents during our renovation is watching my 70-year-old dad get SUPER into lofi music and trying to insist he plays it 12 hours a day because he thinks my dogs like it

Welcome to T-7 days to our move-out date, when I am getting through the packing process exclusively through the queer Christmas romance audiobooks artificially animating my withered husk

Just saw someone say that November 11th is Skyrim Day & god if that didn’t catapult me back to living in my parents’ house, playing Skyrim from the comfort of my bed, drinking blueberry tea while it snowed, the songs of Of Monsters and Men’s “My Head is An Animal” coming from elsewhere in the house

Boy I can’t wait to get this done so I can try and focus on the positives of living with my parents and my in-laws for the next 3-5 months: having regular help with my kids, and nothing to do at night but work on my backlog of games I’ve been permanently neglecting.

An update from the trenches: our storage space has finally been finished. We’ve been busy for the past several days boxing things up, so today will probably mean cleaning up the space and starting to move our zillion boxes inside.

I know it’s nearly November when I am consumed by the nigh-on overwhelming urge to read queer holiday romances

Shoutout to that time a guy rang my doorbell and asked to speak to my husband, and when my gay ass said “I don’t have a husband”, he asked to speak to my father.

You can tell that my relationship with social media is pretty warped when I think about posting something unremarkable about my day and 9 times out of 10 I talk myself down like “No one wants to hear about what you’re doing” when that is, in fact, the exact point of the app

I’m at the stage of the fall season that I feel godawful but can’t tell if one of my darling children has given me the plague or if I’m simply trying to do too many things with a tragically mortal body

me every day when I wake up and realize I'm still just a regular mortal and no scary creature of the night visited me last night to tell me about the secrets of the supernatural world, nor taught me how to turn into a swarm of bats

BEST POKEMON I WILL ENTERTAIN NO NAYSAYERS

I haven’t used social media in a hot minute because everything always feels like bailing out a sinking ship, but you know what I like about this one?

Watching people do their thing. Design games & make art & review video games & photograph birds. Whatever your thing, I cherish watching you do it.

STOP ✋ If you are reading this, you've reached a Pokémon check point. You're now obligated to share your favorite Pokémon.

Finally, recognition for my precious boy

Every fall I get hit with the urge to finally finish playing Undertale all the way through, and is this…. the year…….. I finally do it??

Let me be clear, my usual vibe is talking about cryptids and Baldur’s Gate 3 and writing and food, but this renovation is eating me alive and y’all are my only outlet for the time being. I realize you have no basis for comparison here but I’m normally fun I swear

Contractors aren’t coming today to start the project my wife and I stayed up until 1am cleaning in preparation for, so now I guess I continue packing but in hard mode, which is when I scoot around my wrecked house with my face pressed to the floor in anguish
October 21, 2024 at 12:51 PM
I’m at the point in the process of packing up for this home renovation that I would pay more money to own fewer things

I survived throwing a family event and now I need to clean up the disaster that’s been made of my home but what if instead… I lay on this couch playing Tetris and never got up

I don’t know what’s happened this year but suddenly I’m super into stuff I always claimed to dislike and I don’t know what’s going on. Metroidvanias? Sudoku? Retro handheld games? Can someone please explain why I desperately want to play a JRPG all of a sudden
October 18, 2024 at 7:01 PM
what if I taught myself Python just to make a dating sim about romancing monstrous cryptids subtextually representing dying elements of a small American hometown as a metaphor for toxic and bittersweet nostalgia, who’s gonna stop me huh
