Kind of feel like Platner is the one who tanked Platner’s campaign so it’s weird to see people yelling at literally anyone else about it

The list of HD-2D rpgs I’m very interested in has slowly ballooned over the last few years and Nintendo decided to put all of them on sale so I’m about to spend a bunch of money and then complain about not having enough time.

Of course it would be funny if it happened on Saturday but remember there’s no bad timing for it. Friday, so we can make “missed it by that much” jokes? Sunday, like it was just to spite us? Five minutes ago, before I started typing this? All hilarious.

Paynan got new boots
POV shot of a pair of shoes.
Who is Paynan? Why are his boots relevant?
It seems like Paynan has been getting a lot of boots. Does he not know how to care for boots? Does he suffer from boot addiction, using footwear to fill an otherwise empty void?
Also they are hiking shoes, not boots.

To be clear I'm not saying I'm going to buy this without discussing it with her and she'll be mad. I'm saying the very fact that I want this will put irreparable strain on our marriage.

There’s a certain build of dog that’s big and floofy enough that when it curls up to sleep it’s indistinguishable from laundry, and while that’s not for me I respect that there are people who see that and think “yes; no notes.”

Now that I’m… Jesus, seven years past some pretty severe burnout, I think I might be able to start writing again. I want to keep it manageable though, and everything I had cooking before the Bad Times was a massive novel-length project. Where did all my short story ideas go?

I don't focus on this enough. Tolstoy wasn't thinking of a Japanese guy when he wrote Ivan Ilych but that doesn't mean it was a mistake or an insult to interpret it that way.
