…the hours I spent looking at this VHS art. The richness, the light, the realism. It wasn’t until decades later that I realized the same artist was responsible for so much of the imagery of my childhood. Drew Struzan was singular. I’m grateful for the work he left us.

I'm happy it has 2 player co-op but I really wish it had 3 or 4 player co-op so I can play with my regular trio

Depression is strong with this one. Will be furloughed for two weeks come Wednesday and pretty soon that means I'll be missing a paycheck. But I'm playing some really great games. Absolum is a 2D side scroller roguelike that feels like an animated 80s fantasy. Reminiscent of the Mystara arcade games

Can confirm. He smells delicious.

I meant to review Boots. Had plenty of time until my work/mental health/family health imploded. I haven't finished it and it's a bit more silly and camp than I expected but if you want a story about being a closeted gay in a boot camp before (i believe) DADT, what I've seen so far is fun.

One thing I have been doing for self care is play Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. I stayed away from the first one because the fanbase seemed toxic and "anti-woke" but those same fans were pissed when the new game let's you mack on your fellow male friend. So I decided to try and I'm obsessed.

Going into a furlough just when I spent an ungodly amount of money to fix my car sure helped (/s) the mental health.

Terry, Gay and Awful @gaylydreadful.bsky.social · 4d

Anyway if you are wondering where I've been or why episodes haven't posted. Well I'm not in a great mindset right now between this and severe family/parents issues and my own personal health issues.

My check was missing ~1/3rd of my pay and it's going to make things tight. I'm privileged because I've lived through one of these that destroyed me so I started prepping since January. But most people can't afford losing 33% of their pay and then possibly not get any pay the following pay period

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Next week is when it's going to hurt for the military. The following week will be very painful for 700,000 civilian employees. On top of the utter disdain this administration has for its civil service and the RIF plans.

I'm at the stage of furlough where I don't really know what day or date it is. I would normally be planning for this long holiday weekend, but I literally forgot I should have a normal holiday Monday if the people running this government ever really governed. It's meaningless now.

We're back on our BS! This time we're tackling the spawn of the Davids!

Listen to see how much I misunderstood what Boxing Helena was about before watching it. 😅

Oh hell no! There's no way I could do that without that. I can't imagine!! 😨 I used that and the quick silk regen one and the one that gives more natural silk. And I kept going back to the worms to regain silk/heal. Took it really slow with plenty of pauses to wipe sweat from my hands 😅
