I'm jealous! As soon as I heard it was made by the Dragon Quest Builders team I knew it would be πŸ”₯

Okay I know we're all normally like "don't make any of them into a person" but hear me out for a second....

I’m starting to get the urge to reboot / rebrand my social media presence for the billionth time. But that would be a bad idea, right? πŸ˜…

Congrats to A.D. Sui, and thank you Augur for the continued clarifications about the 2025 submissions. I eagerly anticipate seeing my manuscript move up in the queue. 🀞

Come far enough south, and you start to miss the snow. I've been in NC for several years now, and we're lucky to get a single good inch or two each winter.

I'm a "small circle" person, and you're one of the last people standing from the small circle of Twitter folks I would actually interact with several years ago. #RIPSwitchRPG

I don't need 500 people when I can have just a few high quality ones.

It had been a long time since touching those dogs made his heart race in a blind panic, their inability to respond somehow making the weight of his isolation all the more oppressive.

Now, they were a comfort. A simple ritual. A lifeline to reality.

It wasn't long after hitting 30 that I needed to start sleeping in VERY specific positions in order to not have back pain.

I have a whole three-pillow setup that travels with me wherever I go, lol.

You might also put in a moment where they have to pause talking for a second when the teacher turns back to face the class after writing on the blackboard for awhile (or something similar).

Ben pushed these thoughts aside as he marched the familiar path downtown.

At 7:43, the only pedestrians out were a few dog walkers. He stopped to pet each dog in turn, thinking perhaps they might sense his affection, despite being frozen in time.

There was a time when Ben would have relished the isolation the time freeze granted him. No time pressures. No unnecessary niceties. No expectations or guilt.

Now he just wished for someone, anyone, in that frozen world to notice him and say hello.

The speed at which my ADHD can ruin my day and damage my relationships is absolutely stunning.

Then I turn around, and my autism makes me socially awkward about the first problem and just makes everything worse. 😠

Ben spent a lot of time not thinking about the implications of his situation. Not thinking about why time stopped at 7:43 one morning. Not thinking about why he could interact with objects but not people. Not thinking about how long he'd been alone.

I know it's technically summer in the southern hemisphere, but this still slayed me. πŸ˜‚

When Ben finally did venture out, he gave his neighbor Steve Gruden's frozen hand the customary high five and tried not to think about the consequences.

If 7:44 ever came, the force of all those high fives might make poor Steve lose his hand.

Nothing like trying to get in touch with a company when they don't respond to emails, their phone is constantly busy, and their chat services is "offline."
