"mister president..."

the non-curled strikethrough on bsky just looks like an underline. way too low. unlistening void, accept my directionless criticisms!

I can't recommend Bodark's work highly enough, please consider for any animal-immortalizing needs you may have!! @bodark.bsky.social thanks again for this Monsterpiece. I'm bad about posting but I'll definitely share pics when we get it hung! (also, here's the shot this commission was based on!)

may I offer you a bean the dynamite in these trying times

do you think being crunchetized hurts? like by the captain.

this is an enormous part of why I will never voluntarily give nintendo money, will fully endorse piracy of their games, and think it's fine to judge someone for blind consumerism when it comes to their products even though there's (for some reason) a stigma against doing so in general.

just wrapped my final round of radiation therapy! soon (knock on wood) I will be fit as a fiddle and ready to return to whatever it is I get up to all day.

first round of radiation treatment tomorrow, wish me luck!

I can't post about the way this makes me feel because I'd get suspended. I can't post about what it makes me want to do because I'd get suspended. I'm so glad the motherfuckers who never shut up about free speech are in charge now. liberty oozes from my veins, making another substance quite jealous.

it's early yet but I'm really impressed by Professor Moss Roberts's translation of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. between the approachable, flowing prose and the incredibly thorough annotations, it might be the edition I come to recommend to curious newcomers.

bit Generation: Dotstream (GBA) is my kind of racing game, very interesting paring-down of the genre. I really recommend killing an hour or two with it, it's easy to pick up and put down!

after giving her two books' worth of a shot (Brother, The Devil Crept In) I've concluded I'm not into Ania Ahlborn. insensitive, exploitive fiction that is, moreover, a pretty dull read. it's like revisiting mid-80s Stephen King, but only the parts you forgot because they're boring or offensive.

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation

lol nevermind, oncology just called to inform me radiation for sure needs to happen. PET scan in 2 weeks.

A Meat called it! meeting with a radiation oncologist in a week and a half to discuss whether radiation treatment is suitable/necessary.

my back hurts and I'm all pissed off and disoriented today.

there's something a telling about even metroid 5's most effusive fans starting most of their praise with "yes, the game has issues, but-" mario kart world fans too. like... why do I feel those issues will be far less tractable for me than you? not that I'm playing it anytime soon, fuck nintendo.

I am nothing if not a nihilist.

what is this feeling...? I don't think I've ever- oh! false alarm, just contempt again.

stomach lymphoma. bad mood.

since my hospitalization, as a kind of joke just for myself, I've been playing a lot of games with "blood" in the title (blood omen: legacy of kain, blood of bahamut, etc) and I am completely blown away by Blood Will Tell (PS2, 2004), based on Osamu Tezuka's manga Dororo. 10/10 for me specifically.

please calculate on your own the odds of rolling 8 across 2d6 four consecutive times. they are so microscopically low I already found myself extensively second-guessing my understanding of probability and how to calculate it. then (are you seated?) let me blow your fucking mind (continued below)

"did she forget the actual name of the game or something?" quite the opposite, my friends.

the last 3 rounds of wooden shut the box dice game have been like " @mibetaur.bsky.social rolls an 8, closing the 8 slat. Ganymede rolls an 8, opening the 8 slat. mibetaur rolls an 8, closing the 8 slat." very funny temp stalemate for a game we already play slowly over a period of weeks

my bff asked me who my favorite villain from anything is. I was like "I'm not sure I really have a good answer," and then proceeded to ramble for, no shit, over an hour straight about Lü Bu's big dick energy

with inflation the new fee for wifing in the club is closer to thirty dollars

doing way, way better today! no pain or nausea, no blood coming out of any orifice, and food is staying down fine.

whinging on main again, sry! the list of stuff I can not/should not eat in the aftermath of this is like... all the stuff I love eating the most ;w; even caffeine is off the table for now.

outpouring of gratitude for medicine ramping down significantly as I have to be readmitted to the ER because they "forgot" to prescribe any meds a few days ago, couldn't access my chart (I had printouts), and then suggested I use chatGPT to figure out what my adjusted diet should be. trust nobody.

perhaps immature but my favorite part of my test results from the hospital is the line that says "REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS: Unremarkable." least favorite part is too contested a category ;c

pissed at my body! years of cigs and booze, but the stomach ulcer only decides to settle in after I've been off both for ages. anyway, hello from the hospital. :v

I'm sooo late with mail that I just now found this adorable envelope from @ingridblythe.bsky.social! I can't wait to get home and open it. Just having it in my possession is already brightening my day.

in conclusion, death to america

Lost Flame doesn't even know what to call this, it just lists the cause of death as the player in the grave file. cause of death: tried to exist. that one's on you, buddy.

I love losing such a long-term, deeply embedded roguelike character that it causes me to change my real-life schedule. like I was gonna play this for an hour but that guy's just dead now, lol. pour one out for the wanderer, who was aggressively stat-drained until he had -2 max HP.

so named because it tastes like turkey, in my headcanon (Lost Flame is leaving early access in February!!)

soaking up a good sauce with a good bread is one of life's simplest pleasures. it don't get much better'n that.

wow turns out there WAS a movie, it bombed terribly and I found a director quote from when it was being focus-grouped to death. if the book had ended like the movie I'd be writing some followup like "darn, Scott Smith didn't stick the landing." you even SAY you love it! trust artistic instincts!

Wilmot Works It Out is an interesting followup to Wilmot's Warehouse, and a delightfully fresh take on blind-box jigsaw puzzles that doesn't overstay its welcome or seek to reinvent the wheel. Alas, it's as susceptible as any other game to the devastating it's/its mixup.

only halfway through but I'm really enjoying The Ruins by Scott Smith. it's the kind of horror novel where the fear lives in the planning, presumptive knowledge of a worst case scenario, the outer bounds of that scenario shifting abruptly, and the feeling of being unable to escape it.

watched some of dispatch and holy *shit* should telltale have stayed dead. superhero schlock at its least inspired, with exactly the kind of tired whedon-esque dialogue and sensibilities you'd expect from such fare. your time is better spent on a game with gameplay.

forgot to post this yesterday youtu.be/BuKft9LpL_0?...

omg between my birthday and xmas my diminutive steam wishlist got demolished! the only game left on it hasn't released yet. thanks for keeping ya girl distracted from the horrors, you're all better friends than a crabby old thing like me deserves ♡

holiday staycation to keep Monster medicated and cared for! my BIL kindly got me a copy of crusader kings 3 to pass the time while I've got the place to myself, any advice for a player new to the series?

current mood is Nyango Star drumming on the anpanman march
