Make a novel smaller (Canadian 🍁 culture edition) The Concrete Angel

for some reason I have been bound and determined to donate all my blood to mosquitoes this season - I really should get some insect spray

The new Queen locked herself up in the castle, and nobody has seen her in the longest time. It's said she's obsessed with making a "Royal Gown"... Well Dweller is a dark fairy-tale Metroidvania, where you must burn the wicked Queen to save your family.

for the past few days I've been sitting outside to read and it has been utterly delightful I also had a wonderful chat with a friend who just gets me, even if we only speak a handful of times in a year

You could be juicing fruit for monsters in Poinpy for free on your phone right now.

so excited to get locked in a library tonight

was watching a short where the sound effect used was the discord notification sound and not only was my response pavlovian (paused short and went to discord right away), it also took me way too long to figure out what happened when I didn't have a message

At the bottom of a well, lives the only creature brave enough to challenge the Queen; all the others were plucked to form a splendid gown, glowing in its sheen. Well Dweller is a dark fairy-tale Metroidvania, where you play as the last free bird armed with only a matchstick.

currently on a call with my internet service provider and the agent keeps saying 'fantabulous' I have a good feeling about this

this is happening right now and is so so good!

I found an Amazon package stuffed in the area between my air conditioner and the wall of my house and it looked a bit worse for the wear - not sure how long it's been there tbh.

one of my issues when listening to audiobooks is that sometimes I categorize the noise like BG music and then minutes go by and I realize I did not in fact internalize any of the story

I've popped out the lens on the left side of my glasses like a week ago but today I sure did try to clean it 😅 it'll be great to be glasses free soon but based on this I think I'll be adjusting my non-existent glasses for a while

The Long Form Census You Nerds Wanted

Gretchen McCulloch@gretchenmcculloch.com · 4mo ago

of course, I found out that it was census season again from people on my timeline being nerdily disappointed they hadn't gotten the longform option, so clearly I'm following the right people

I started TR-49 on stream last night and I am hooked. I cannot wait until later on when I get to pick it up again. I've been a long-time fan of inkle as they have such a way with words and storytelling and piecing together the story of this game through the puzzles is rewarding.

Nine Sols is approaching its 2nd anniversary 🎉 Now through May 18th, get it on Steam & Nintendo Switch at an all-time low — 60% off. Haven't played yet? Now is the time 🏹☀️ (Check out Nine Sols Steam page below.)

going live with Under the Island, which I have been looking forward to since I played the demo! store.steampowered.com/app/1583520/...

Under The Island on Steam

Embark on an epic adventure in Under the Island! A 2D action-adventure steeped in ‘90s charm, step into the shoes of Nia, and battle fierce monsters, solve clever puzzles, and explore a world alive wi...

I'm supposedly getting a package tomorrow as fedex called me and gave me a tracking number but I have no clue what it is - I have not ordered anything recently I'm pretty sure... and the one outstanding order has not been delivered to my knowledge and likely will be going through regular mail

between trying a new drink at the coffee shop and it actually having coffee, my distracted self managed to forget that I am lactose intolerant until they were making the drink for me (they kindly gave me lactose free milk at no extra charge)

look, I know there's a wind warning right now, but there's a difference between reading it and feeling concerned as a grown woman that the wind is one good gust away from toppling me to the ground

typed in 'cra' in my address bar to make it to the Canadian Revenue Agency site but it autofilled crave.ca and so I guess I'm rewatching Heated Rivalry for the nth time, I don't make the rules

every time I get three nights of good sleep in a row, I feel like I can take over the world - should do this more often (I will not)

this made my list of games I'm looking forward to in 2026 and am excited to see it's coming soon!

embarrassing bookstore moment of the day was getting the title of a book wrong and only realizing at the end of a call that the helpful employee placed to a different store to set aside a copy of the book on hold

I take exception to the fact that the CRA website is undergoing system maintenance literally right when I remembered that I should put in my RRSP contribution for the year and so should check my contribution room
