I don’t mean to restart the pile-on but out of curiosity has anyone dug into the provenance of Hank’s web games?

Name the first videogame that made you feel truly powerful.

That reminds me, I should read some more Angela Carter.

Angela Carter writes like she’s on the run from Horny Interpol

Every now and then I look at the sources on these, and I think: somebody definitely gave a bureaucrat a fake name and for some reason he looked the other way

We did, in fact, have a (small) fancy pool costume party to celebrate Primo’s birthday. So, achievement unlocked, as they say

Some day, I really ought to actually have a fancy pool costume party

Due to the time differences in our group and that I’m the family cook, I am almost invariably prepping or eating dinner during some portion of our game. And so I think if we end up swapping setting/characters again, I need to just lean into it and have a character that’s always cooking/snacking

Oh are we doing bubble discourse again?

I don’t suppose someone could tell me how to write WE WILL FEAST ON YOUR CORPSE in classical Latin?

Oh so that’s who the song in “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes” is about.

Comedy is listening to all the mistakes we made trying to bake a red velvet cake for Primo’s birthday, tragedy is trying to bake a red velvet cake for Primo’s birthday

Name a song with gun, shot, or bullet in the lyrics.

That’s the KoL equivalent of the prosperity gospel

Also, “I had a two hour meeting” should be legitimate grounds to take the rest of the day off, even if it started at noon

Sometimes it’s exhausting that anything that happens in your life needs about 1000 words of backstory to explain to an outsider. I’m not sure if that’s a problem with my brain’s capacity to edit or just a side effect of the number of moving parts in this household

Were you a child who read The World Book Encyclopedia for fun?

Also, unless I’m misinterpreting it, our respite provider just quit on us with an incredibly conciliatory text message. So that’s great

I’m really not sure I prefer this to just drinking an appropriate amount of coffee. Today’s experiment is skipping the coffee but I still feel like my heart rate is up in an unpleasant manner.

Fat, Bald Dabus@thebleats.by86400.link · last wk.

I don’t know, am I just supposed to stop drinking coffee now?

So far the adderall is mostly something else that I have to manage. On a certain level that makes sense but it doesn’t help that it generally reduces my patience to roughly zero

Look, I hate to keep banging this drum, but there is totally a grumpy teenage Shakespeare skit in The Who Was…? Show.

GRUMPYE TEENAGE SHAKESPEARE "Thys ys just a stage." "ALL THE WORLDE YS A STAGE, DAD! UGH!"

I’m getting the feeling that this doesn’t improve my focus, it just makes it harder for me to succumb to decision paralysis. But I’m a champ and I did it anyway today

I have eaten all but one of the plums which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious As were the tarts, blue corn tortilla chips, avocado and fiber gummies Next time? Skip the scones 🦝

Katharine Hayhoe@katharinehayhoe.com · last wk.

Next? A large handful of my fiber supplements, 5g each. Which I understood, as they taste quite good. (fiome, if you are wondering) At this point I assumed we were entering the “find unconscious raccoon” phase but no, we were not. The bowl of plums was next. All but one.

I don’t have easy access to real photo editing software anymore, but sometimes just don’t let that stop me

I’m just going to apologize in advance.
