Mom: Did you do anything special for your birthday?
Me: (shrugs) I mainly spent it on the couch dithering over the formatting of this guide I'm working on for the best way to 100% complete a game I've come to realize isn't actually all that good.
Mom: ...
Me: It fucking ruled.
#I won't name names#but in our house it has come to be known as#manitoba: become android#funny that for a game designed to be played over and over again#it really doesn't hold up to repeat scrutiny#especially compared to the two games i've played on either side of it#1000xresist#which isn't actually designed for multiple playthroughs#but which i *immediately* turned around and played again#because it was that good#and then#expedition 33#whose worldbuilding is astonishingly thorough and cohesive#as opposed to a certain game#where the answer to “why would they choose to handle it this way in-universe?”#is nearly always “shhhh”

There are sadly always other factors that can limit the accessibility of archery, but you might be surprised by how adaptable it can be!
Archery GB have some useful info if you’re looking to get involved in disabled archery

"Just tell them it's a masturbation injury"
"Oh god, that reminds me of this one time in church"
"That's a rough segue"
"Don't worry it gets worse"
#short version: he made a joke in mixed company in middle school that you have to switch hands or your dick starts to bend#and a couple of girls believed it for a long time#like one girl told her husband and he laughed at her#no context for you#about the first part at least#I have to maintain some aura of mystery#poor spouse knows he's about to get tumblred when I giggle madly and then run for my laptop

In the past year or so I've taken to talking in my sleep. Since it usually corresponds to me yelling within the dream, it's always quite clear and distinct in the real world.
For last night's installment, I apparently said, "'Calm down' has never helped anyone in the history of 'calm down.'"
Spouse was about to give me a little comforting snuggle like he usually does when I'm having a bad dream. But then I added
"the audacity of this bitch"
and he had to leave the room so he could laugh
#I didn't remember the dream until he said it#it was just some random dude on the opposing team telling me to calm down#and I went OFF on him about how insulting that was#distinctly remember shaking my head and walking away as I said that last bit#at least we weren't in a hotel this time

I got home in enough time to take a decent nap, but I just laid in the dark and had Feelings instead
#it has been so long since i actually accomplished or achieved anything tangible#i kind of don't know how to deal with it anymore#and thinking about how long it's been and how much every step hurt#brings up its own kind of grief#for a long time i was someone who could Get What I Want and who could Make Stuff Happen#and then overnight i Wasn't#i had been getting used to the idea that the other person was just gone#but maybe things are still possible????#it's A Lot#and of course now i have to go back to work sigh

clair obscur: expedition 33 is like
remake final fantasy X
give it a strong Vibe from nier: automata
run everything through a filter to look like an oil painting
and make it all Very French
why did no one TELL me so I could get properly obsessed, this is like someone reached into my brain to design my ideal game
#the Vibe is mostly the music and the sense of doom and the suggestion that the monsters aren't just mindless baddies#aka all my favorite stuff about nier#and ffx was my first final fantasy so it has a special place in my heart#clair obscur: expedition 33#final fantasy#video games

Research has shown that pleasure affects nutrient absorption. In a 1970s study of Swedish and Thai women, it was found that when the Thai women were eating their own (preferred) cuisine, they absorbed about 50% more iron from the meal than they did from eating the unfamiliar Swedish food. And the same was true in the reverse for the Swedish women. When both groups were split internally and one group given a paste made from the exact same meal and the other was given the meal itself, those eating the paste absorbed 70% less iron than those eating the food in its normal state.
Pleasure affects our metabolic pathways; it’s a facet of the complex gut-brain connection. If you’re eating foods you don’t like because you think it’s healthy, it’s not actually doing your body much good (it’s also unsustainable, we’re pleasure-seeking creatures). Eat food you enjoy, it’s a win-win.

tumblr leftists being surprised to see middle aged white women with signs or hats saying "deny defend depose" really reinforces for me that tumblr leftists don't actually talk to people lmao. like I did a lot of canvassing as a teenager and you know who the best most reliable political organizers are? middle aged women. you know who's bloodthirsty after watching rachel maddow every night and sharing HuffPo articles on facebook? middle aged women. maybe sheryl from iowa who's been voting religiously for democrats for the past thirty years IS more hardcore than you, tumblr user who did a write-in "protest vote." what are you going to do about that.

Something I need to be reminded of often. Yes, I'm very lazy and also have executive problems up the wazoo (the difference? laziness is fun), but the cultural expectation of being productive every waking moment isn't healthy either. And the business of feeding ourselves is especially fraught these days.

looks up one of those youtubers who mess with those scammers
fires up DMs
"I have a proposition"
hear me out: ancient vampires who find out there's an entire subgroup of scammers preying on elderly people
as elderly people, the vampires naturally conclude these scam artists would themselves make great prey. cut to a thousand-year-old grandma signing up for a coding class to figure out how to hunt down those suckers
