In case you’re sick of those warm cuddly pets, here’s Nemo

I have had a full fantastic day of solid RP, like just wall to wall super enjoyable character development and relationship building and it’s not even over yet.

I honestly thought that kind of gaming experience was gone for me and I’m so glad it’s not.

Hello friends.

My mom is in the final stages of dementia, which means she spent the last week and a half in the hospital with a respiratory infection and I spent a lot of time with her because she can’t be left alone, along with working full time and being a mom and feeling like I’m failing everyone across the board. She has recovered enough to come home today but it’s very very likely it’ll happen again soon (it’s already happened once before this).

On top of this I am still trying to shake getting COVID last month. On top on TOP of this, I haven’t been able to get my antidepressants refilled until Wednesday. I really loathe saying I’m not okay but I’m not okay right now. I have a very strong support system, but the bench is shallow and only a little less worn out than I am.

I think I can keep from going apeshit on anyone for the next 48 hours but just in case the brain weasels win, go easy on me, ‘k?

Me, an introvert, trying to play an extrovert.

I think this is after I told him he wasn’t allowed to eat the cat.

When a game I want to love just makes me feel tired and empty inside.

I don’t feel like playing any more and I can’t really identify why. Just waiting to see if it passes.

When you’re not at all sure that something you worked really hard on is going to land well…and it lands really fucking well.

My mom’s dementia has gotten severe enough that she was put into hospice care last week. I’m doing okay, I don’t really want to talk about it but if you notice I’m scare, well, that’s why.

I think it’s hilarious that EVERYONE THERE IS NOW IN A CLIQUE and no one has noticed.

@sao I’ve been getting that a lot Thank you and I’m so glad you like it!

I hope it’s okay for me to post this…

If you’re wondering what I’ve been up to for the last few months (it’s okay if you weren’t) since I’m way too cool to play text-based games now (I kid, it’s stress), this is it. Crafts are my therapy and…well…I’m selling some now.

1. I suspect my boss has been taking on some of my workload, either because he knows I’m stressed out or he doesn’t want to wait for me to get to it. Either way I’m grateful.

2. I was put on Ajovy for migraines. I haven’t had one since I took the first dose 9 days ago. I’ve had meds fail me many times before, but even 9 days in a row mostly pain-free will have been more than worth it.

I’ve just gotten dumped on so much in the past year that I’m about done.

@Coin We could always just link.

@Pavel Money can be a hook, I have definitely used someone else’s money in a scene.

@Alveraxus Maybe this is a kind of tech privilege I’m speaking from here but…how does a player not know a game has access to their IP address?

How does ANYONE on the internet not know ALMOST EVERYONE has access to their IP address?!

@Aria this might be a shitty and irresponsible thing I am about to tell you but you seem like you will use it for good so…find a poor rural shelter. Not a rescue. No hoops, no questions besides ‘are you allowed to have a cat.’ Walk out with cat.
