This is one of the rare times in Illinois politics when you could call for the governor to be jailed and be incorrect.

EVERYTHING I DO I DO FOR THEM

I definitely play games for the wrong reasons. Ragequit out of Silksong last night and I want to get back in solely to rescue more fleas. I am obsessed with them. AWOOOOO!!

If you live along these two routes (or anywhere in these townships, actually) you could certainly call your local hotels, restaurants, and gas stations to let them know that serving said troops would deter you from doing business with them ever again. Not that I'm suggesting that. Or anything.

Having a high-functioning anxiety disorder is wild because people will compliment how "on top of things" I am and I have to not respond "Thanks! If I don't color code the next two months on my calendar, I can feel my bones trying to escape my body!"

I beat two bosses last night and only died seven bajillion times!!!!!! Clap for me!!

I'm absolutely atrocious at platformers AND big bad boss fight games but having watched about 20+ hours of Silksong, I think I have to git gud just to play this game. The overall visual aesthetic is amazing. Collecting beads looks addictive. And if I'm playing I can READ THE LORE.

Saturdays are brutal because I have to yell at myself for like two hours to avoid laying horizontal in front of Overwatch Esports the entire day and it's a struggle. No want think or clean. Only want six ults on screen at once.

Highly encourage everyone to join me in slamming the laptop shut and sticking your hands into whatever creative hobby will make your heart rate go below 100 tonight. Whatever you're gonna read, you probably already know. Get the paint out.

Update: I had never felt more insane in my life until today, when [redacted very large bank] sent notification that my request to have the total of my dad's frozen bank account transferred to me has been denied because I have to fill out paperwork...that I already filed three weeks ago. LOSING IT

seeing my art on official OW merch 😭😭😭💖💖💖💗💗💗💗

Living in my own little bubble this weekend to escape ~the horrors~ and I emerge with a lukewarm take: we should be able to sentence people on HGTV to extensive jail time for what they're doing to historical/quirky homes. PUT DOWN THE GRAY PAINT AND WEATHERED WOOD, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST

The President of the United States just essentially declared a war on Chicago because — wait for it! — Black and Brown people live here. This is not normal. This is not okay. And we are going to fucking fight back.

Had CNN on for an hour just for this press conference to be about space and the cheeto looks fine

Taylor Swift's engagement is cool, but how about we Engage with Overwatch Season 18 where you can earn...*red dot appears on my forehead as the sniper lines up their shot*

The glorious khanate sends his regards.

Fantastic and hilarious issues happening on the other site.

Something beautifully hopeful about me accidentally building a smiley face farm in 7 Days to Die. The horrors persist, but so do we.

Dragon Age Origins and they could charge me $200.

Update: sent the death certificate and they still canceled my request for termination of services because they "didn't have enough information." IT'S CABLE TV WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??????????????????????

- Person that writes the puns on Beat Bobby Flay - Vintage jewelry seller Most importantly: - Cayde-6 origin story novel writer No matter how you feel about me you have to admit I'd make that a NYT Bestseller

If you're ever wondering "should I eat this ready-made food that was packed yesterday at a grocery store I only half-trust to maintain appropriate refrigeration standards?" I'm gonna give you the answer: NO. NO YOU SHOULDN'T. 🙃

Is there a way to turn off the "I have to do more, I have to get things done, I have to" feeling as soon as I sit down for five seconds or is that just my anxiety throwing hands and winning?

This one deserves a 20b: Behind every sensitive/kind/angelic individual is someone who will proverbially go for the jugular if you disrupt that joy. I gave myself a lot of shit growing up for being reactively cruel and unafraid of conflict, but it turns out I'm here to protect softer people.

The other blue site would clown me for this one, so: At the press event for 2019 OWL Grand Finals, there was a little section of food and I was running late. I turned to @goopyknoopy.bsky.social while holding grapes and went "are these real grapes?" not knowing Flowervin was directly behind me.

They will all be very goofy ones, but let's roll. One like = one opinion that's not on politics.

VICE's owner Savage Ventures has requested the removal of my Collective Shout articles. This is due to concerns about the controversial subject matter—not journalistic complaints Effective immediately, I will no longer contribute to Waypoint. I suggest letting VICE's owner know if this upsets you

Not sure if this counts but one of the funniest moments of my life thus far was stepping into an elevator the morning after 2022 OWL Grand Finals only to see Proper in his pajama pants double fisting MVP and ROTY trophies

If there's an intelligent blonde woman with human flaws who is immediately hated by the fandom, I can guarantee I've taken up internet arms for her.

Morbid end-stage capitalism fact of the day: did you know most big companies have pages /specifically/ for when an account holder dies? (Good, actually!) ...then you STILL have to complete about 40 steps to close an account after that? (Bad, very!)

Anyone else use the urge to play certain games as a clear indicator of mental health? I've been getting the "I should start a new Stardew Valley save" itches, which means my mental is REAL BAD and I need to organize things in rows to feel better.

Boy is it really, really, really hard to keep keeping on this week. I actually don't think the human brain was built to handle this much world-dooming information!!

I have the best friends in the world who sent me the largest Wooper they could find to help me deal with The Horrors Meet my Emotional Support Wooper (pictured with two tinier friends)

Oh yeah?? Well, can genAI do THIS??? *stands up too fast after being seated/writing at my desk for a while and immediately feels dizzy and my vision goes dark for a few seconds*

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

"Where did the women in games journalism go" Me, sitting on £700 in unpaid invoices: haha yeah, I wonder

Not to be a buzzkill but maybe the day after we enter into war isn't the best time to SET OFF THE MORTAR SHELL FIREWORKS THAT SHAKE THE ENTIRE BLOCK man

Time to share my favorite Law and Order: SVU screencap for no reason in particular

Was anyone going to tell me you can't upload your own GIFs on this site or was I just supposed to find that out with a 2018 Saebyeolbe depression peace sign on my own

It’s actually your job as a writer to go get a little snack when you’re blocked. Don’t make me push you out of that chair.

I think my bsky at this point is half Overwatch content and half @adashtra.bsky.social reposts and that's really peak honestly

A remake/update of DA:O+2 would save Bioware from the financial ruin EA has inflicted on it

ITS SHUT THE FUCK UP SATURDAY YALL

I was at an industry party for BlizzCon 2019 and Matt Mercer (dressed as Cassidy) had to get behind me while gently saying "excuse me" and tapping me on the shoulder. You can imagine my double take of "is that guy in Cassidy cosplay" and then "WAS THAT MATT FUCKING MERCER" Anyway he's so nice

sorry

game conferences

i'm not at SGF, but i'm microdosing the experience by eating poorly and being tired for no reason

If you're a retired party girl - or dormant FOR NOW like I am - and you have a full day of work to do on little sleep, highly suggest tapping into your former feral ways for energy. Be me and blast this song all day while remembering the power you have inside. youtu.be/2wU-wN1t1Eg?...

Ghoulish. Absolutely ghoulish country we live in. Rhetoric has consequences.
