That whole story is quite the intense read. Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoy the vibe of Returnal, but it is absolutely too difficult for me. I’ve never been great at quick reaction games. I don’t mind the difficulty, I love Dark Souls and Elden Ring, but in those games patience and being able to make a tankier build make up for what I lack in twitchy reflexes.

I still haven’t beaten Returnal, but I did find a slate of mods for the PC version that help with the difficulty without being flat out godmode cheats, so I absolutely plan to jump back in at some point using them.

I can’t sit my pets down and explain to them what chemo is or that they’re going to have an invasive surgery and may get better afterwards. All they know is that they love me, but they’re in pain. You may question it for a long time afterwards, but if they’re miserable and don’t understand why then keeping them around is more for your benefit than theirs.

I’ve spent way too much money getting care for a sick, young cat because I knew the pain would be temporary and they could get back to their bonded half and recover quickly and I’ve had to put down a dog that could have lived a few more years because their dementia had become so bad they were confused and lost constantly, even when in the same room as I was.

Compassion and love are always important, but you can’t explain to them why they’re in pain, only save them from needless suffering.

I knew something was off about all the Little Dark Age edits I’ve run across on YT but I never looked into it. Fucking nazis.

Event Horizon. The trailers made it seem like just another 90s sci-fi horror flick trying to ride the Alien high, but it ended up being such a good movie with a tight script, beautiful set design, actually smart characters, and great acting.

The chemistry between Kevin Costner and William Hurt was so perfect. This is one of those hidden gems that I like to recommend people to surprise them with just how good it is.
