I don't have the patience for PvP, but have found multilayer co-op games a lot of fun.

Not sure which is more mesmerising, the eyebrows or the tie.

1. Kevin slouches on his couch, bags under his eyes, playing his Switch. Next to him, an empty bag of Doritos and a few empty beer bottles. His bird, perched above him, leans in. "Umm… are you okay?" the bird asks. Kevin replies, "I read that playing Tetris helps distract your brain from anxious thoughts."
2. His bird looks concerned. "You've been playing for the last nine hours straight," he says. Kevin looks up briefly. "Have you seen the news lately?" he asks his bird.
3. His bird looks off into the distance, thinking, as Kevin goes back to his game.
4. Kevin continues playing, his bird nestled under his arm. The bird lays its head on Kevin's chest, watching him play.

Ah, so this is the stress that comes with trying to buy a place.

Totally dependent on others with no way of sorting things out.

Never thought about this before, but I'm in the "don't feel my toes touching unless they move" camp.

I think your brain just ignores what it interprets as normal and focuses on the important stuff, like watching out for saber tooth tigers coming to eat us.

This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

It did seem a little harsh that you were snuggling the dog while she was stuck under the burner.

Unless the dog did it and is holding you hostage?

Took a sec of wondering why your log burner was on your wife.

Happy new year :)

And then you take annual leave to have a longer break but you end up doing the same, getting slightly less wrung out to do it all again.
