I get boo-ed out of the kitchen in my own home anytime I have celery with peanut butter. Is it really that repugnant?

It is SO satisfying when you retain a lawyer and they respond to sender on your behalf within minutes of you getting an email, saying that senders are basically being idiots. I feel validated.

I can't believe January is almost over. Between getting ill, dealing with legal shit from several provinces away, managing the kiddo's first high school exam season, it's been a rough start to the year.
Still nothing compared to this time last year. Just trying to live moment to moment.

What is Consume Me? Good question! Consume Me is a darkly funny life-simulation RPG about Jenny's (@qdork.bsky.social) life in high school!

So happy to see Consume Me nommed by so many of the IGF juries! Congrats to that team, it's a game that really left an impact on me and I've been thinking about it since I played it. It's really an incredible treatment of a challenging issue.

And it's done. Insta and FB are deleted. Four years since I left Twitter. Thirteen since I left Livejournal. Always sad to leave what was once a happy, healthy community. But freeing to erase that digital footprint 😅

Happy new year! I'll be mid-air when it hits. Sort of. I'll jump from about 11:50pm to 12:50 am as I skip timezones on a redeye. 2024 can see itself out.

Now that IGF judging is up, I just gotta talk about the one I couldn't put down: Blue Prince. This just hit all the right buttons in my brain so I didn't want to stop playing. Just. One. More. Day. Another new room, puzzle, letter, mystery.

I love that my kiddo is FINALLY interested in watching the original Avatar series with me. And I've discovered my ear is still hyper tuned to Star Trek voices. I immediately IDed Sulu and Odo (twice) and we aren't even through season 1 yet.

Just finished the Fallout show and I personally LOVED it. Not only did it perfectly capture the joyful ultragore but also the creepy retrofuturism. The characters, the conspiracies, the insane amount of lore tie-ins. I geeked out so hard at the last episode. Fingers crossed for S2!

It's been a few years since I tried the franchise, but I'm really disappointed to discover that Just Dance on PS5 has done away with the Move controllers. AND that they delisted the digital versions on PS4.

My ambidextrousness shows up in the weirdest situations. I'm primarily right-handed, but used hockey sticks left-handed. Right now I'm teaching myself how to knuckle roll poker chips (or the pretentiously named Steeplechase Flourish) and realized I'm using my left for that. Brains are weird.

Thread of fun things I've been filling my time with:
The NYT Connections game is addictive for my ADHD brain. The categories I struggle most are the connecting word before/after. Spelling Bee is a close second.
