Back from my week off tomorrow and desperately desperately in need of work. I’m not getting payments for thing I did, my car is broken down, and I’ve got a big gap in schedule work coming up. In a much tougher position after a vacation than I planned on. If you have any leads on work, let me know

A little late, but GOD Phantom Blade Zero is gorgeous and has some of the best combat I have ever experienced. For people who have been in love with wuxia, this dark fantasy is going to absolutely sing for you. I played 6 hours and this is all I have wanted to play since. My preview:

I cried so much while playing Forever Ago. I've been with my husband for 12 years and he has made me a better person every day he's been by side. This game makes its player grapple with the impermanence of life, but also the enduring strength of love. My review 👇🏽

It really sucks being ghosted after multiple rounds of interviews. Coming up on a year after losing my job and this job hunt has been so utterly demoralising. Nothing but anxiety.
