Not too surprising with my twitch recap this year. Watched a lot of sumo wrestling, friends doing just chatting streams reading books, and other stuff. Supported my own game. Fell asleep with RiffTrax on now and then.
I really like twitch, but fear of the perpetually encroaching enshittification.

I'm getting into solo RPGs. My disability makes me take frequent breaks; scheduled group play's difficult.
But I couldn't find one which focused on what I like: rules-lite, locale-specific, modern setting, ongoing concerns rather than quests and looting. So, I'm making my own: "The City Unseen."

It was a clear plastic bag and the sticker holding it shut just had the DB logo. Here's a flatter picture of it. The tag on the neck does read canvas as the brand. It's possible this is not from DBFH given it just says desert bus on it. Maybe it's blue leg? I have no idea where I got this.

I don't normally post selfies; too self-conscious. But I decided to break out this Desert Bus for Hope T-shirt that I bought like 15,000 years ago and never wore.
I'm thankful there are still charitable and giving people in this world, no matter the cruelty pouring down on our heads from on high.

TIL that Siri has apparently found Jesus. This is what I got when I asked on a whim "hey Siri, is there a God?"
I don't know what's more unsettling, that my phone thinks it's going to silicon heaven, or the source that of that information is called "kidz dot org." Implying a nonprofit.

(And yes, my character is 85% my absolute aesthetic. Tomboy with glasses and nerdy accessories and baggy clothes? Take away the guns and I'd say "Yes, Mr. Alien Flesh Shaper, I'll take that, thank you kindly.")

Man, Fortnite may be a tumor on the industry but adopting Harmonix was the RIGHT move. Daft Punk collab? Okay, let's trip absolute balls and do a full-on adaptation of Alive 2007, why not.

Got my retirement gift today! I suggested the specific inscription for the plaque. It's calculated from the day I started with the job to January 19.
Because nothing after that was in support of the public. But everything before that? I'm proud of the work I did to ensure safety and good health.

This is hands-down the best Balatro run I've ever had. High face card, multiplying and multiplying forever. Still haven't reached scientific notation numbers but it's damn good.

Okay, I fixed it. It's a bit more cramped but using the ACTUAL per-pixel resolution makes things very sharp, which is nice! Means I don't have to scale the text up so much to make it readable.

Getting closer to being able to stream. I figured out how to stream at my phone's native resolution, taking the dang "notch" into account, with a 1080p game window and reasonable chat and streamlabs panels visible.
