In time of stress, blobfolk begin reverting to their natural form

Kiddo has a meltdown at work.
Me: you've gotta learn how to process your emotions without just immediately turning to electronics.
Me (after work): I'm sure I can get 6 hours of gaming in before I need to sleep.

Holy moly! This is awesome! Did you ever play Wattam? That and Katamary are two of my favorite games of all time!

All Fish Cops Are Fish Bastards

He's perfect. My hope is that everyone's character is bringing them as much laughter as we have with our fucked up Muppets.

LOLZ! Gobbless this game's character creation! What is with your teeth?! I'm in tears, this is spectacular.

I had a belief when I was a kid that people lived until they blew out the candles on their 100th birthday cake and then immediately collapsed. I gave up on that belief when my great-grandfather lived until he was 107.

Welcome to the Living Lands! It's goofy, sometimes clunky, sometimes breathtaking but overall honest and earnest in being its own game. Can't wait to hear of your adventures!

The animancy stuff is really fun!

My jam, tho your character is an Imperial Envoy to a colony, is making all the anti-imperialist choices bc the NPCs are all like, oh you're not a jerk, that's refreshing, and anyone in power screams at my decisions, lol

Particularly, I enjoy that you can be a total goofball in your dialogue choices and there's one main conflict early on that if you resolve peacefully, numerous later NPCs reflect that in their interactions with you. So diplomacy actually has merit.

I think that comparisons to Skyrim and BG3 are unavoidable, however, there are a lot of game mechanics that I find incredibly refreshing and more fluid than the other two. The crafting is way more streamlined and you can't just spam it to level up. Everything has a function that's useful.

I'm really digging Avowed so far along with acknowledging that there is a need for a few patches, one of which has already been sent out.
One of the main companions is basically Billy Crystal but with poor timing due to having to cut to him saying the line, lol.

Is this like how Sergio Aragones "killed" Marty Feldman?

Other excuses they've given: "You're insurance says you're too old to take this med." "We don't have a record of you taking this med." "You shouldn't have gotten a message saying we filled your meds bc we haven't filled your meds." Linear time is not their concern.

Hy-Vee pharmacy exists outside of time and space. That's the only reason I can think of for them telling me in the morning they didn't get a refill notice from my docs, to the afternoon saying, quote, "we have no idea why this wasn't filled." Every month a battle to sync up timelines.

Gumby still slays

Based on character creation options alone, Avowed is already winning my heart

My new character. Immediately worth all the money I spent on this game! ❤️

nah, feck those chuds, i wanna bop some fantasy critters

uh oh, started reading the reviews NOW I DON'T KNOW. why did i read them?? i guess the main complaint from some folks is that it's meh or not "groundbreaking" enough... but will *I* enjoy it?

Yeah I looked that up and it does seem freaking sweet, especially since I took college courses on Slavic folklore. But Avowed may be that total immersive experience that my lizard brain craves.

Damn, and it's available now on presale? Faaack, why do the gods tempt me so?

Ah jeez, there goes my time and paycheck

It was in the midst of walking in the snowstorm yesterday that the plot structure for my next Spuds Malone book fell into place. Been 13 years since the first book came out and 13 years of false starts on this second book, but I'm finally ready. Nature is magical, especially for cartoon potatoes.

Went on an epic winter hike to the comic book store with my friend Adam today, about 3-4 mile trek through the snowstorm! It was fantastic!
