Video game enthusiast moonlighting as a bomb-ass bassist. If you're taking me seriously, you're wasting your goddang time. He/him.
I love that my pursuit of "no thoughts head empty" games while I am mentally blergh has lead me to replaying the Ratchet And Clank Future quadrilogy via emulation since my PS3 has gone kaput.

Hillbilly black magic emulation keeping gaming history alive, 12/10 will never understand but yippee

AAA first party title that has been sitting in my to-play pile for months: uhh doc you're going to play us at some point ri-

Doc, fists clenched around a quirky dark indie game that he fully expects to be traumatized by: YOU WILL SPEAK WHEN SPOKEN TO

Its good to know that it is not just me that is looking at the state of the earth and economics, and begrudgingly taking a long drag of their cigarette.

Its not so good to know, however, that being in an ongoing and endless clusterfuck is shockingly bad for chronic ongoing mental health problems

There is a special circle of hell dedicated specifically to whoever decided that you needed to be a "member" of a supermarket club to make groceries actually affordable.

You wanna profit off of a duopoly AND selling my data? [Alexa play "Steal From The Supermarket" by Dartz] Fuck off cu

We are three months gone from the year, and the US have set fire to the global economy, more of my family shit has reared its ugly head, and I am neither paid nor respected enough in my workplace to make any meaningful differences to anything?

Fuck. I picked a bad year to drink less.

Genuinely having a moment of existential dread thinking about what different people consider to be "life-changing" amounts of money, and how that same amount is pocket change to the super rich

You know what would help? A "life-changing" amount of money, you can PayPal me at leedam[muffled thumping]

So I kicked a hornets nest over on The Bad Place. If you came here to get angry about a two inch enamel butt plug, stay mad and get over yourself and your faux-religous, holier-than-thou, bigoted horseshit.

If that makes no sense to you, please disregard and proceed with your day. You aight.

Who wants to donate an undisclosed amount of money to the "get Doc a decent office chair so his lower back stops sobbing" fund? I am pretty sure* it is tax deductible

I love the idea that because I'm dealing with the box of broken kitchenware of a brain that we've been dealt, I don't know if I had to flee a social engagement because of autistic burnout, critical lack of depression spoons, or a secret THIRD thing

Mental health has me sifting through my nights dreams like an old timey prospector panning for excess trauma, like "im pretty sure op shops are safe from father figures? let's not dwell, it's a better haul than NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE"

TW: mental health, past trauma

I really hope it is just coincidental that my brain is screaming my past failures and a bunch of horrid family memories at me in my sleep, because I have no desire to dance the new med samba with this much on my work plate. Fluoxetine pls fren do job

Listen, I understand that everyone has critiques about NZ's healthcare system, but if you are telling me you would rather have America's healthcare than the problem ridden one we currently have, your name is David Seymour, and you're missing another system update, please check your WiFi settings.

On Christmas Day I got no messages from family, except for a phone call from my father that I deliberately let ring out, for obvious reasons of my father being a cunt.

I shared my Christmas and NYs with laughter and joy, not from the family I was given, but the family I found.

It's...bittersweet.

My dearest friends should always remember that no matter how bleak or senseless the trials of your life may seem, or how lost you may feel, I will always be standing there beside you to look just as confused, seriously what the fuck is going on fam we need to call someone

We are on Round n+1 of "Should I just tell capitalism to suck my nuts and just start streaming for funsies?", and honestly the more I debate it, the more I want to give the routine an honest go. People seem to have liked my questionable personality and attempts at entertaining folks thus far?

Shout out to my brief hyperfocus on modded Civ V, the best example of historical revisionism I can think of

Twice a week, I consider the possibility that mediaeval peasants may have worked less than modern humans do under capitalism, and twice a week I feel like this serf from Monty Python.

I just heard the bus driver get his daily report by work mandated robotic AI voice recording, and if that doesn't sound dystopian as fuck to you too then I dunno what to tell ya

I need to shake the hand of whomever came up with the term "situationship". Vague enough to be ominous and suggestive, firm enough to be A Thing. Zoomers might be onto something.

This "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" bullshit was peddled by a hyper religious virgin, but I gotta admit he may have got it wrong, because corn flakes are fantastic and I sin CONSTANTLY

As a cis white male, if you buy into the ban on trans women in women's sporting events in NZ being for the "safety" of women, I deeply question your self-awareness of where exactly you think the problem is here

There's something just a little venomous about not just having my leave cancelled for Boxing Day (which was expected because retail), but also being told I have a 6am start on Boxing Day AND potentially can't take NYs off either, despite stating I'd much prefer that because of my anniversary.

Wooo.

I'm willing to bet my house that the people against co-governence are the same people that will unreasonably defend the practice of calling the front seat by screaming "SHOTGUN" and then getting real pissed when someone else gets the front seat for a better reason

Nothing tells me that capitalism is fucked more than having a Black Friday sale extended to a week of teeth clenched customer service dickery
