I'm playing:
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 🥖
BG3 (haven't ever finished) 🐉
DATV 🐉
Coral Island 🌴
Stardew Valley 🐔
Please use alt text.
Please be nice to people!
That is all. Have a great day!

I fired up my Act 3 BG3 save from months ago and the gamenesia is real.
Karlach is a paladin? Wyll has a fleshmelter cloak? My monk/rogue is wearing yellow and white?
The journal sparks zero recollection of any of these quests.
Fake it til I make it?

I have 2 extra days off work. I was going to BG3, but here I am, doomscrolling and playing Stardew Valley to alleviate the doom.
My other goal is to put a few Stephen King in storage so Lucy Score has more space. Love me some King but gotdamn there are a lot and I just need my favorites nearby. 🤓

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

It's still chili if your main spices are chili powder and cumin, right?
Ground turkey (beef was $10, f that), onion, crushed tomato, green beans, broccoli, kale, garlic, S&P, and a touch of oregano.
No beans, there's enough roughage. No pasta, I'm not from Cincy. No actual peppers. Works for me! 😁

Last year I made a 15# turkey with all the trimmings and ate it all by myself over the course of 5 days. This year, I'm donating my Thanksgiving fund to a food bank. Please find it in your heart to feed a family or two...

Thank you to whoever mentioned Sally's Baking Addiction apple cider recipe.
I've made stovetop apple cider to my own specifications, which today was 6 honeycrisps, 1 granny smith, a navel orange, a cup of candied ginger slices (for sugar and spice), cloves, nutmeg, and NO CINNAMON.
😋
Good stuff.

Like, there are some journalists on Bluesky I don't block almost immediately when I encounter them! I voted for @joshuajfriedman.com for mayor! But it basically comes down to "who's here solely to further their career" v "who's here to shitpost about Alf's dick down here with the rest of us"

A year on, I forgot how DATV annoyed me with:
Clunky dialog ("It's quiet." "Too quiet.")
Harding
Neve
Jumping to initiate interactions because I don't wait to be in range of the object
Dr Pimple Popper blight
The economy

Every $1 donation provides 4 or 5 meals from food banks. Even a donation of $5 right now can feed up to two dozen people. No, we shouldn’t have to do this. But we can.
Remember that while food banks welcome donations of food, they prefer $$$$$$$. They have deals with grocery stores and suppliers. You can only buy one dollar's worth of food for one dollar, but they can buy several dollars' worth. So don't, like, buy food to donate it, just give 'em the dough.

Make it through the DATV prologue without redesigning the character 6 times challenge: Impossible.
Yes, I've restarted again-again. 😁 Anastasia is a human Grey Warden warrior and will probably smooch Lucanis, because Lucanis is still the smoochiest. 🐉
Thank goodness for tutorials.

I played at launch, finished several PTs and romanced everybody once. (Emmrich 2x, tho I did a branching save with him. IYKYK.)
The characters started to wear on me, so I shelved Veilguard and ran COE33 and I'm back on cozy farming sims. For now.
Another 3-4 months, DATV will be fresh again. 🐉 😁
