The hospital I last went to has a financial assistance application and it includes a spot where you can write a little letter explaining your situation. They waived my whole bill after that.

Janet beat P5R and now I’m going through withdrawal- this is totally normal behavior.

There should be expiration dates on a video game once you stop playing it, pretending you might come back. You won't. C'mon. Now, what's in your fridge?

"I support the team because it has a great mix of people with a diversity of perspectives. Like hearing the women in the group connecting with Consume Me on a personal level. Most video game content out there is all dudes who have lived the same life as me." #whysupportminmax www.patreon.com/minnmax

Sure but what’s funny is that it’s not actually being evaluated on the factor. It’s like “I think if I did replay it it would be good to replay based on the one time I played”

Remember when replayability was factored into a game’s score but no one actually replayed the game for that so it was just on vibes. 😀

Btw I have a podcast with my soon to be husband @isaiahsmith.dev! We took an unexpected break this last month but there is over a year of content for you to dig into. It’s about games and not games.

Games And Not Games @gamesandnotgames.com · 1d

Wedding planning took more out of our weekends than we expected so please forgive our brief hiatus. In the meantime make sure you are caught up on all the episodes:

Here's the latest from The Gangcast!

I have no chill so me relaxing is also done to the extreme.

Janet Garcia @gameonysus.bsky.social · 1d

Wedding weekend approaches and I’m officially done with work! Don’t expect content from me until the week of October 20th and that’ll be a light one of me “easing back in.”

I deleted Slack, deleted Discord, set out of office emails then signed out of my work accounts.

I know it's cliche but it's truly an honor to be nominated. Pew Pew Bang has been even more fun and fulfilling than I imagined and I promise no other video game podcast is doing it quite like us.

The pitch: every episode is a slumber party where we talk games, share stories, and dish out advice.

Pew Pew Bang is officially an award-nominated podcast! Thank you to The Astra Awards for putting us up for Best Game Podcast & to everyone who has listened to/shared our show. 💛

Day 1 of Persona 5 Royal vs Day 615 of Persona 5 Royal.

Me in the old version of my studio. View is pretty zoomed out and angled from below. You can see from my hip up. I'm sitting on a big folding chair and theres a mic leaned toward me on an arm with a white cable running from it. Other details: laptop slightly in view, larger water nottle, kingdom hearts keyb;ade leamned against a 1up arcade ms. pac-man machine. There are also birthday balloons that say 30.

Me now in the new version of my studio. Camera is only slightly above eye level and zoomed in to be chest up. I'm sitting with a different mic on an arm, wearing a bidoof hat, with a pikachu squishmallow in my lap. Backgdrop are painted panels, a fake plant, and a purple glow.

Janet is a real one. I never wanna play a game this long again but I'll probably be the first in line for Persona 6. It's been a journey watching but what a game.

Janet Garcia @gameonysus.bsky.social · 1d

I said I wanted to beat Personal 5 Royal by Wednesday October 7th so I could have it done before my wedding weekend.

Rolled credits today: Tuesday October 6th at about 3pm.

Never doubt me.
