A day before the surgery. Whatever you believe in, keep my boy in your thoughts. He's my life, I can't even think about a world where it doesn't go well.

Okay but you need sleep. You literally need it. We don’t know a ton about sleep but we know it’s when your brain processes memory and cleans itself. It’s when your body makes repairs of its tissue. You will literally hallucinate if you don’t get enough of it. We gotta listen to our bodies man

Once took a new medication that had me up about 4 days straight (it still causes gnarly insomnia if I forget a few days). You get dangerous that tired. You'd do anything to just...not exist. And it's not the feeling of being tired, it's the wanting to escape your own mind.

See, this is why I think it's VITAL to differentiate the people making the games from the terrible corporate circumstances they're working under. The people actually doing the work are usually the coolest goddamn people you'll ever meet, fully in it for the love of the (video) game.
VGC@videogameschronicle.com · 4d agoAccording to former Arkane veterans, the reason Redfall was able to get its last major update was because they asked Xbox to let them back into the office and finish it after being laid off, and Xbox agreed. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/former-...
This might be a spicy take but I believe that sometimes V I B E S are more important than a watertight plot.

Typing up my year (2?)+ long Apothecaria game after nearly losing it all in a luggage debacle. Decided to set it up in a databasey program, as it was getting untennable to track.
so, plants under solar panels do well, water under solar panels does well, foxes under solar panels do well, just need to put solar panels over more things

One of my best TTRPG experiences I was wildly uncomfortable the whole time (my fault) and it marked a long moment of self reflection that helped me grow. Horror in general is great for increasing that discomfort capacity.
Maladroithe@maladroithe.bsky.social · last wk.Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?
One of the hardest things to teach as a therapist is finding the line between discomfort (things we may not like but aren’t hurting) and harm. Especially because a traumatized neurosystem is either over-sensitive and treats everything as harm, or under sensitive and treats harm as nothing.

Good point. This is my newly favorite musician. He runs the Open Mic and Acoustic specials at The Night Owl in Fullerton. He doesn't perform often, but I'm always excited when he does. Names Rod Harrison. Had to cut vid down so it would post.
Little shits gonna keep me in this hell state for 6 more weeks.... I love him so much
27 now. Not even going to ask for a good year. Just a calm one would be nice. Please.
I have spent 9hrs straight playing Sovereign Tower. It's so addicting. Maybe I just haven't played a lot of stuff lately, but I'm rabid. In Act 3, already excited for a second run.

Speak of the devil, Lil Guardsman's developers are working on something new and a demos out. Looks visually stunning, and if its the same folks that make Guardsman I'm so incredibly excited.
Hilltop Studios@playhilltop.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Curse of Resthaven demo has been out for just over a week, and we've been THRILLED by the response. ❤️ Mashing up narrative investigation with trading and roguelite mechanics is a big swing, and it's been incredible to see it landing and resonating with people.
Rec thread Cont. I Was a Teenage Exocolonist- Of these great games, this is on the lower end, personally. Think of it like finding a 20 on the ground, instead of a hundred dollar bill. 1/2
I'm going mad waiting on a call for my cats surgery so I'm gonna plug the insane games that are on sale right now in the Make Your Choice Sale. I'm going in the order I see them scrolling down the store page.
Me: *Lamenting how, if things were different, this would be a great time for top surgery.* Mom: Why do you even want that done so bad? There are things I don't like about my body, but I don't kill myself. Me:...I....those aren't...ok.
