This whole "going through a midlife crisis" thing as I am literally about to turn 40 in a week is kinda harshing my buzz, not gonna lie.

I wonder what it says about me and my musical tastes that I mostly grew up in the 90s/00s and yet if you were to ask me my musical "decade" choice I'd have to tell you I'd listen to 80s over most things.

There is ratfuckery afoot, of this I am certain.

I picked up Pokemon ZA and just started it. Now, I haven't seriously played a Pokemon game since... Red. I spent an entire summer playing red and blue with my buddy, and nothing has captured that high. ZA, in like 20 minutes, has captured what my brain always said MMO Pokemon would be. Wild stuff.

I have been so incredibly depressed lately. I'm taking my meds, but nothing brings me joy for the most part, and when it comes time for dinner every night **nothing** sounds good, which leads to me not eating, which is saving me money but you know, nearly passing out from lack of eating isn't good

@cmet.bsky.social I just want you to know that you have what might be my favorite webcomic running right now, and I look forward to seeing what the brigade is up to weekly. This Becket and Klara stuff is killing me, though -- every time they're together I am just going "NOW KISS". So, thank you. :)

So I'm looking through the roadmap for Destiny 2 and I noticed that they're doing universal slot exotic ornaments, which is rad. But it makes me wonder -- what is the difference in systems between that and just making Ghost Shells custom appearances?

With my birthday coming up, I might pick up Pokemon Legends: Z-A. I know I have had gaming paralysis lately, but I haven't played a good pokemon game in a long, long time.

I am so, so fucking tired.

We're gonna be playing Pathfinder (think D&D but better) over on Cool Zone Media Book Club for the next six weeks, and I figured why not start with a little prequel story as a teaser, complete with character art.

Missed my shot by a few days then took it midday today and hooo boy, a few hours later I felt like absolute dog water. So much so I asked my MIL to watch kiddo and just crashed out for two hours feeling ill. Slightly better now but it's the lingering effects that are bugging me.

I know they're going to try and drag us back into Hell tomorrow, but fuck that and fuck them. Tonight we get to breathe a small sigh of relief that there are people out there still fighting for everyone, and it's not over.

I can breathe again, for the moment.

Okay I am abso-fucking-lutely over this day now.

Body dysmorphia is a bitch. I've lost this weight, I'm fitting into way smaller clothes (hell my wife bought me L undershirts and I managed to wear it to the wedding) but when I see myself in photos all I see is how big my belly looks and it's just so self-defeating.

My Destiny 2 Halloween Costume this year. It's been a surprising hit with the community, getting lots of Best Dressed awards. #FotLCreation2025 #Destiny2

I'm pretty sure the guy who I knocked out with 1 second before evac in ARC Raiders is really, *really* cross with me right about now.

Shouldn't have gotten into a gunfight with me earlier, I guess. 🤷‍♂️

So I gotta ask -- what was the last song that was stuck in your head? For me it's both Elton's version and Taron's version from Sing. Oy, could be worse.

So uh, in better news -- I'm going to a wedding this weekend and knew I needed new clothes because of my weight loss. I went from a 54 waist to a 44, and a 5X shirt to a 2XLT (and honestly I fit in an XL but it's not flattering or easy to breathe in).

All I'll say is if it wasn't for having bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
