Loved hearing you two talk about one of my favorite games! I made sure the PC I got for high school graduation could play Diablo II. Favorite character: Necromancer. I once summoned so many skeletons in act 2 that I had to release them so I could navigate the narrow spaces of the sewers. 😅

I can't recall a time when Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire wormed its way into my brain so consistently than it has this second Trump presidency. 😮‍💨

Odin the tan dog lying on a tan couch with a white pillow with text that says calibrating and chill giving his belly for some belly rubs.

Happy Wōdnesdæg! Odin humbly requests some nice belly rubs. All belly rubs are appreciated. 😁

Happy New Year. Though I expect this year to be as rough as last year, I hope we can all find time to rest like Odin here. Take care of yourselves, press into your community, and remember that you can't do everything, but you can do something.

100% agree. My DMs are open, too, if you ever want to talk. In my experience on Twitch, most variety streamers struggle because a lot of people show up for specific games, or just chatting. People like us with eclectic tastes have a hard time finding an audience.

I've never experienced more shame at being a white American man than to see such a blatant disregard for life while self-aggrandizing his own achievements. The true mettle of a person's legacy is what people say about us later, not blaring the horn for ourselves and building arches and ballrooms.

With another loss of life and the downplay from our wreck-in-chief, one thing has become clear to me: the only life he cares for is his own. Venezuelan lives don't matter. Trans lives don't matter. Black lives don't matter. The lives of his own people don't matter. It disgusts me beyond measure.

Dusting off my resume after almost ten years. Still isn't any easier to write statements about how I'm a good fit for a position.

A blue and purple present some snowflake designs. As a present mimic, it has an adorable and toothy grin with its tongue sticking out.

I was able to be creative today for a white elephant character exchange with my gaming group. It's freaking adorable!

It wasn't until yesterday that I realized I own too many games where I can, and do, say "I'm going to farm some souls."

I'm Thankful this year that I have to redo a playthrough of Aria of Sorrow because I missed one boss soul that I can't get in this first playthrough. Good thing I like the game and am willing to play from the beginning again! 🤪

A brown dog lying on a gray blanket on the floor in front of a tan couch. The blanket slightly covers his head.

Happy Wōdnesdæg! When was the last time you made a tent at home out of blankets and sheets? For Odin, it was last week. He didn't even ask for help!

Odin the pup snoozing and blepping on the couch after a busy and fun day.

Happy Wōdnesdæg. After a busy morning as autumn is in full, nothing beats a nap. It's also a great way to avoid Trump supporters and proselytizing strangers. Seriously. What brought out all the crazies on our walk today? Having someone yell, "Jesus bring you peace" sure didn't bring us peace.

Out of the 50 trick-or-treaters who came to our door tonight, no less than 5 were young Hispanic kids or teenagers in police or SWAT costumes. 😅

My nervous system is shot and I'm so close to burnout, and the fire hose of political shit won't shut off. Thankfully I have time with friends this weekend to look forward to.

Is it possible that with the president demolishing an entire wing of the White House that this is the most damage the building has sustained since 1812? It's also a stark visual image of the destruction he's engaging in with Americans in general.

Odin sleeping on the floor at his Dad's feet, exhausted from a fun day.

Happy Wōdnesdæg! Today was an exciting and fun day for Odin. He went for a walk first thing this morning and after work spent time making new friends at the dog park. Time to sleep it off until morning!
