Is it bad that I feel most like myself when I'm dressed like a survival horror video game protagonist looking for his wife? 😅 ('Tis the season, I suppose.)

Love the flannel!

A white guy with short brown hair and a brown beard, greying at the temples and towards the jawline of the beard, wearing the where's-my-wife survival horror protag outfit: faded green jacket over a hoodie and jeans. To clarify, reader: He is, in fact, a single gay man, and does not have a wife.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

Every now and again, something reminds me that the song "Nobody" by Skindred exists, and I am utterly delighted to rediscover it.

Sometimes that ends up with me rocking out to it at 2AM in the bathroom while I'm getting ready for bed, but nonetheless...

I loved it. I was terrible at inventory management and combat, but I LOVED the story and really want to see what the other endings are like (but I'm avoiding looking them up--I wanna play them). And the visuals were INCREDIBLE.

STREAM CRASHED, BUT IT'S BACK NOW

Ian Doherty @idoherty451.bsky.social · 10d

SLIGHT DELAY ON TONIGHT'S STREAM: I'm on the final boss of Silent Hill f. I AM BEATING THIS GAME BEFORE I STREAM. However, the stream probably won't start until 7:30 at the earliest. I'll try to post if anything changes.

As someone with a very loud brain that I like to try and silence with lots of loud things (video, radio, music, etc)... I am so mad that the best thing to do is to actually just sit in silence without moving for a full half an hour. Game changing. Silences the brain completely for hours.

Having a particularly bad head day today. Feeling discouraged about the job search. Not being very kind to myself.

If you've got some good news, whether from your own life or life in general, I'd love to hear it. Or, failing that, pictures of cute animals are also acceptable.
