Yeah, I stared at the opening screen for five minutes, trying to duplicate the cube they give you and turned it off. haha! My ADHD was like "let's try painting again..."

The "shitty shading on a cube that looks like I never took any lessons on light placement" button. haha

Elden Ring is an autumn game.

I need to get my visual art back into play. I can't do adorable stick figures, since you already cornered that market, but seeing my wife and kid surpass me and be extremely creative is making me envious and inspired both.

Maybe today is the day I learn Blender.

We have Bayonetta cosplaying as Samus in Dark Souls before GTA6.

Someone needs to pay $30 for the electric bill and they're basically begging their last 10 fans to pay for it.

Whoever was president on Jan 6 2021 needs to do something about this. Arrest the president.

Found this “obituary” for Ian Watkins.

Ian Watkins, former loss, prophet, singer, and prolific sex criminal, has been killed in a knife attack at HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire England. No word yet on the inmates conditional though we wish him the best.

On the 18th we need to be vigilant for increased violence and provocation by both law enforcement and counter-protestors, both of which will be used to try to justify more violence and authoritarianism.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

She really was. We joke that she’s our cat’s cat because she follows Oliver everywhere, even into our house.

Ryan (BenGraven) @bengraven.bsky.social · 2d

1000%. She has been neglecting her since literally the first week she had her. And the little girl has been spending the last few months sticking around our house, sleeping in our place every night.

By “he” I meant to put “maintenance guy”.

Ryan (BenGraven) @bengraven.bsky.social · 2d

I got all excited because I noticed her car hasn’t been here in weeks.

“Hey man, is she gone?” I ask as he’s pulling her carpet out the front door.

“Yeah she’s out. Don’t know what happened but she gone”.

She left her cat - she’s been in our house for months.

“That’s your cat now bro”. 😎

Ryan (BenGraven) @bengraven.bsky.social · 2d

Walk outside to see the maintenance guy, ripping apart my neighbor’s apartment.

Do you know what that means?

Say hi to Emory (formerly Twig) Ailts.
