It seems like its been a fucking time for more than just me, so doing another check-in thread to see how yall are holding up. Especially since its been a LONG time since ive done one of these.
Got something you wanna vent about? Wanna share something cool? Nows the time!
Love you all 
For my own part - back from tour. The band made money, but I am broke. Fortunately, starting my first job in 2 years on Monday, and whats more, ITS FUCKING COOL! Finally out of the tech field, and working thru Americorps to help with a local anti-homelessness organization. Im gonna be doing back end stuff interfacing with other local orgs, but its still a job im happy to have and can be personally proud of rather than working with stupid bullshit SAAS stuff. Met a hexbear on tour and had a great time with them, and after 3 floods in a week, my partner and I are moved into a new apartment and finishing unpacking. This time were on the 4th floor! Nice building, no complaints, place is modern looking and very clean, it just feels surreal after everything that brought us here.
Terrible. Trump has started his persecute trans people focus, seasonal depression is kicking in, some snitchass neighbor complained about our lilacs bush so now the city is making us cut it way back in summer (technically), which is the wrong time to cut it, and I got all excited to play Hollow Knight only to find out it sucks so I don't even have good escapism to run to rn.
Also Israel still exists. I had a dream last night I was in Gaza getting shot at by the IDF and woke up mad.
Sending love, hope things look up soon
Took the dog for a walk. Neighbors were all super friendly and the sun was out today. Takin a hot bath now.
Went back to playing UFO50 and almost golded Campanella. I think I got it next run
Whats ufo50?
It's an anthology-sryle game of a fictional developer's catalog of 8-bit era games, made by the spelunky and downwell devs, and maybe a couple others. 50 games, almost all of them pretty good to great. It's got a bit of everything, with puzzle games, platformers, shooters, strategy, etc.
Campanella in particular is an etc. You fly a little saucer around using one button to thrust and the other to slash, and navigate little obstacle courses. It's one of my favorites due to the controls just being fun
Oh hell yeah sounds fun!
