So, I did decide to spend time with the family and it was quite the fun event!
I was mostly nervous about having to explain TTRPGs to them AND get them to play for more than 5 minutes before getting frustrated AND continuing the plot AND resolve everything satisfyingly.
Especially my brother kept

Merry Christmas, friends! And also Pippin Christmas, Sam Christmas and Frodo Christmas!

At least the food con will be solved - was asked whether I wanted to order something at work.
Still haven't considered whether to go to my mum's after work.
Pros: spending time with the family again, GMing a tabletop game for the first time, being near a bank so opportunity to pay a bill, probably being able to surprise my grandmother who loves Christmas

Yesterday I was asked something that never occurred to me.
When I said I don't celebrate Christmas, someone asked whether it was for religious reasons.
Being an atheist I don't know whether the answer to that is yes or no.

Don't do that in Austria. You will be regarded with suspicion and/or verbally attacked.

I won't manage to come out to my family this year (as was the original plan). The only family member I'll probably see until then would be my mum.
It's equally annoying and a relief as I have had so many lovely reactions from my online friends (including already using my new name) and I doubt it'll

Why do YouTube ads have to be twice as loud as the videos I'm watching?!
Every single one of them, often enough also every couple of minutes. It's fucking annoying, especially when it's the middle of the night.

I have an announcement - I'm a dad!
Unfortunately my previously unknown child lost their phone and has a new number but still... I'm feeling validated by the trans affirming spam SMS.

I don't want to go to work tomorrow. That's already the 6th day in a row (including 10h shifts) and as I took a day off Saturday because I had plans where I wasn't home all day, it's basically the ninth day without rest and I'm getting overly stressed. Plus still feeling like shit since sick leave,

Was playing with Simba with a D20 and just after I rolled a nat1 he tried to bite me and stopped playing.

Philly just scratched me and I'm bleeding.
Not because he was particularly angry or scared but simply because he's a dick.
I didn't allow him to go out and steal Simba's dry food and he took it personally.

Good thing Trump is mainly seen as a joke here (albeit a tragic one).
The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Neighbours are fucking drumming again.
I've had a hard day and they are legally allowed to make noise for 8 more minutes. But there have been days when they did their shitty drumming way after 11pm, nearing 12am.
If that happens today, the probability of me brutally murdering them is significantly

Since the information got out that it was my birthday yesterday, here's a funny story to complement it:
My grandmother called yesterday evening wishing me "a great day for tomorrow's birthday".
Me: "But it's today."

My camera settings are all gone! This is even more annoying and not as easily fixable.
Had a phone update. I'm reading through the changes, thinking everything is going to be okay but now the phone's gallery icon (previously a nice mountain range with the moon in the background) is now the standard ugly flowery pattern.

An equally sad and heartwarming thing: Philly is slowly learning how the life of a house cat works.
There are so many cat things I do automatically and I'm getting a very confused look from him because he doesn't understand - but the recent weeks he started coming for cuddles: He's been sleeping in
