Random aside: It makes me smile to see my wife, a human being below the age of 40, playing and enjoying Pitfall for the Atari 2600.

Saving for later.

Dear DOGE: In response to the request for my 5 things I did, I: 1) Learned how to make videos on AI 2) Created a creepy video of Trump and Musk 3) Uploaded the video to TV screens at HUD 4) Gave the day off to our A/V staff 5) Hit 'play' button on Monday morning Yours truly, Loyal HUD worker

I wrote 12 pages of content yesterday for my game. It's honestly not that much, but it felt cathartic to think about it, sit down, and just write things and think about the game constructively again.

Germany 1, Elon Musk 0.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

Picked up Citizen Sleeper for literally one dollar on Steam. Which is kind of an unbeatable price. I've really been wanting to play it, and it's sequel, for a bit.

Streaming! Twitch.tv/joerocks1981

Moping is obnoxious. Let's do something good with Thursday night. Like return to Thursday Night Retro Game Night! Come hang out with me while I play something old with a burrito in my mouth! It's something! Twitch.tv/joerocks1981 7 pm! (EST) be there!

Best advice I’ve heard lately.

Wow, what the hell?

Sorry to take the lead on this hot take, but man, Elon Musk is kind of a gigantic asshole, right? Pardon my French.

I’ve been in the mood to play the following: 1) Lawman. 2) Mothership. 3) Paranoia. (Maybe XP) 4) Neon Lords of the Toxic Wasteland. 5) Outgunned (Core or Adventure.) 6) Tiny Cyberpunk

Don't forget to...

Hey. After reading this, remember to. 1) turn the news off. 2) turn the phone off. 3) do something creative or fun. 4) remember. Video games and books are always here as a valid source for that. 5) reach out to your friends. 6) talk about things not related to reasons you would do 1 and 2.

I really hoped that i'd avoid any more complications on annoyingly complicated times, but it seems that i have contracted the flu. And it's kicking my ass on a day when i can't afford to be down.

The reality behind the whole 51st state thing.

In other news, i'm: 1) rereading old comics i liked for some reason or another. 2) reading current comics i'm trying to like. 3) messing in procreate and affinity publisher to set up zine templates and sketching a little bit. I'm drawing just to draw. I desperately need to be creative again.

I am off all other social media besides this one now. Trying to stay gone from my usual haunts. I still don't have much to say, and my brain feels like its just tapped out and screaming incoherently. But maybe that'll change.

Oops 😬

*wakes up, goes on social* Sponsored post with somebody who runs some podcast nobody of substance listens to calling out all hard Fs in very pro-right, hateful fashion. *closes out social app. Considers laying in road.*

Nervous about something. Got a bad feeling.

"Yo, Chet. Bro, Wake up. You got a callback." *bong rip sounds* "whaaaaa?" "Yeah, dude. It's for the FBI." *turntable scratch* *Third Eye Blind - semi charmed life (128).mp3*

Not doing great.

Boy, I can't wait to not care about the Fantastic Four all over again.
