Casualty of the storm: my freakinge mailbox.

I finally picked up Clair Obscure and I think it’s the most fun I’ve had with video game battle mechanics since like. God of War 2018.

Over 160 million people are under winter hazards associated with the impending major winter storm. Disruptive snowfall is likely from the Rockies to the Northeast, including dangerous ice from the ArkLaTex to the Mid-Atlantic. You can find a detailed forecast at weather.gov. Here's the latest...

Bruh why does Discord SEND YOUR FRIENDS NOTIFICATIONS when you update your status??? I’ve been treating it like an AOL away status?? Pointless thoughts?? And it’s TELLING people?? Who asked for this????

Aww man, the TB-detecting giant African pouched rat I sponsored for several years passed away… RIP Carolina.

My agency received Microsoft+AI licenses recently (UGH) and one guy I work with immediately used it to answer a question i had… in the form of a poem. I will accept this. I would have preferred he write it himself but I still appreciate the sentiment.

their moomin love story... #otasune #mgs

I haven’t seen Return of the King in like 15 years probably. Great excuse to have a cathartic cry intermittently for four hours and some change.

Been watching a lot of Brooklyn Nine-Nine because it’s as far away from The Sopranos as I could think of. Low stakes copaganda sitcom with some heartfelt story beats. It’s fun.

Took me a while to be sold on the extended Two Towers but ooouughh the moving of Fangorn Forest was so worth it. When I first saw the movie 20 years ago, I remember my dad mentioning it happening in the book and was disappointed it wasn’t show. I never knew it was in the extended edition!!!

I’ve wanted one of these mousepads for a while bc they’re genuinely comfortable and found the perfect one at magfest. Thank u www.milesmandel.com

I really needed to sit in a dark room and watch a movie for four hours. I feel so much better.

Movie I wanted to go see tonight got pulled from the schedule so I am doing the Lord of the Rings weekend instead. I’ve never watched the extended editions!

Thinking about LiveJournal’s death and how many cosplay tutorials will be lost 😩 a lot of them were already borked with broken image links or Photobucket fuckery but man. Man.

Four day work training immediately after a convention SUCKS. I am tired of Baltimore area traffic. I am tired of being in rooms full of people. I am TIRED of socializing.

drakengard 1 asks the question of what would it be like if every member of an rpg party were not allowed within 100 feet of a school zone

I’m in a panel where people have to identify video game music and screencaps and literally the only thing I’ve recognized is from Signalis. Gay people problems.

Magfest costumes! Yesterday was the Sister of Battle for the Warhammer photoshoot only, Journey bc I love it and it’s comfy, and today is Anya with a man-sized Curly prop

Caution: Seaman HeLovesMe% was incredible. Love to be in a room full of people losing their mind over a fish saying “I love you”.

X salvage continued, had to save this banger from @molleindustria.org

I was about to say “there are so many Clair Obscure cosplayers here but they’re all doing the baguette outfits” but. I don’t know what their regular costumes look like.

Played like five minutes of Half Life: Alyx and discovered that I do not like VR headsets very much.

I keep seeing the nightmare kart developer walking around and thinking like “oh, I know her from tumblr”

Went to a speed friending event and did not leave with any new contacts but I did get to talk to like two dozen strangers which I love doing and am very good at.

I think my 2026 reading goal will be to primarily read books already in my house. I bought a TON during Covid and haven’t read like… any of them…. I went to a lot of yard sales and a bookstore near me had a $5/full paper bag sale so I am Stocked Up with some interesting stuff.

Imagine being Meadow Soprano and repeatedly fucking up parallel parking to go to dinner with your family and as soon as you enter the restaurant, your dad get shot to death in front of you.

Party hats are kind of bizarre when you think about them - little paper cones worn on the head to celebrate a birthday - and maybe they’re old fashioned, but the fact that I’ve been to FOUR STORES and can’t find any is driving me crazy. Clearly I took the ones from my childhood for granted.

For year of the snake I revisited MGS… What for year of the horse? Replay Shadow of the Colossus? Finally finish RDR2? A Zelda game? Maybe go for a horse ride for real.

Been cleaning literally all day but finally managed to unexplode my house from Christmas -> going to a con for NYE. Now to be normal for a couple days before exploding it again for magfest.

lemon pig . . .

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

@wynfred1840.bsky.social I wore my Maa and Paa brooches out today and got a compliment and I wanted to pass it on to you! The person said they looked so sweet and like a doll you would find in a grandmother’s house.

Love when I see art of two beautiful men and check the tags and the beautiful men are actually Optimus Prime and Megatron

Went to visit my sister and she had motion smoothing on her television. Cant believe we’re related.

And the yaoi tray.

Gin and tonic for lunch

bleh

Both of the Christmas movies I’ve watched tonight (The Night Before (2015) and Violent Night (2022)) have referenced Die Hard multiple times which is definitly a tongue in cheek way to discuss its status as a Christmas movie but also just makes me want to watch it again….

I FOUND IT. It was under my bed behind a box of craft supplies.

Making new purity seals for magfest

Reset my caffeine tolerance (accidentally) over the shutdown and now cannot casually drink tea over the course of the day without my heart rate throwing a fit.

the right attitude

Oouuhh I should watch The Terror again… especially with the six inches of snow outside. Immersive.

Shoveled snow for two hours in jeans and my ass is sooooo cold to the touch. I have fleece-lined hunting overalls!! Why didn’t I wear them!!

Ended a phone call with a guy with “have a good rest of your day!” and he replied with “yes ma’am”. Yes, I’m COMMANDING you to have a good day. It’s not optional.
