Having to advocate for your own controlled substance mental health medication is absurd. I basically have to convince a rotating group of strangers that I am both functional enough to be trusted with powerful drugs and also dysfunctional enough to absolutely need them.

Honestly, sometimes that's just what you have to go through to progress through an RE game. I'm playing the RE2 remake right now, and I was having such a difficult time alluding the lickers and Mr.X at one point until I died and I was finally able to get the hell out of RPD. 😂😂

A digital illustration of a crow, aiming toward the southeast, seen from a high angle, with its head turned to the southwest. In its beak it is holding a steak knife of some kind. You know like in that meme but a little different. The crow is casting a pink shadow onto an irregular orange shape it is standing on. And arrayed around said shape is some rough lettering in multiple colors reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

I think that is a pretty good first run with Krauser IMO. I was also shocked by how much game was in RE4 too. Like I was so certain the final boss would be at Salazar Castle, but then there was even more game to complete afterward! 😂

Black and white drawing of the orphanage girls from the video game Resident Evil 9. Amidst a misty background are four bald-headed girls in night gowns with stitches running across and around their heads. They all smile ghoulishly towards the viewer. In the back are a misty pair of legs.

NO PEOPLE CAN BE FREE WHILE DEPENDENT FOR THEIR BREAD

COMMONWEALTH WHEN WEALTH IS COMMON

ART AND ENJOYMENT FOR ALL

HOPE IN WORK AND JOY IN LEISURE 

COOPERATION & EMULATION NOT COMPETITNON.

SHORTEN WORKING DAY & LENGTHEN LIFE

ENGLAND SHOULD FEED HER OWN PEOPLE

THE LAND FOR THE PEOPLE

‘Sun in an Empty Room’ 1963. Edward Hopper.
An oil painting depicting a room, seemingly empty, illuminated by sunlight coming through a window, casting angular light & shadows on the walls and floor. Leaves on a tree can be seen just outside the window.
One of Hoppers final paintings, completed just four years prior to his death at the age of 84.

A digital illustration of Statler and Waldorf, the sarcastic old man muppets, seen sitting in their opera box at the Muppet Theatre and heckling whatever is happening onstage. Probably Fozzie’s act. Starler is in the right with the big chin. Waldorf is in the left with the mustache and heavy lidded eyes. But the are almost always shown in the reverse order of their names. There are red curtains behind them and along with some bits of filigree in the front of their box are some brass (?) letters spelling out ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Black and white photo of a white boy (tween or young teen I guess?) in a cowboy shirt and hat, looking seriously at a shorthaired white kitten he is petting. The kitten is sitting on a western style horse saddle and looks rapturously happy. It’s light colored fur and whiskers are luminous in the sunlight.
