No apologies needed! It kinda made me want to play a DnD game with you as DM =P

I have that too… So that checks out lol

That was me yesterday. I was really hoping I could muster just a fraction of that vibe again today…

All it took to derail me this afternoon was one little hiccup in my plan, and my entire “day-off of productivity” became cripplingly overwhelming and thus ruined… 🤷

There’s always tomorrow tho

Executive dysfunction being the most unbearable symptom that I regularly experience, this one hits home…

Just had a post removed for breaking this rule. I’d just like to apologize for not reading this prior.

Stahhhp… I do that a lot more that parentheses, and now you’ve made me self-conscious about it lol

stream of conscience-y

I think that’s why I relate to the OP tweet so much. When I’m writing a text or comment, it’s usually in a inner-voice type of thing where I’m imagining myself speaking directly to the person. And I definitely speak with lots of parenthetical “bonus thoughts”

When I’m writing out something important, an official letter or work email, etc. I take my time to form the full thoughts and put that all down in writing as properly as I’m able to.

“the message that it communicates … is that police officers can kill you and hide details, because you’re a member of a movement.”

A decent headlamp. Flashlights are well and good, and sometimes necessary too. But if you’ve ever had to do something intricate with both hands in the complete dark, a good headlamp can be so much better in those situations

Definitely been there and done that

Anytime I get to a point where I even need to consider using braces or brackets, I know that’s when I need to rewrite the whole thought lol

I remember that line too

Nothing as profound as what you described there…
But… The Last Of Us was an experience for me…

I hadn’t played a “new” game in about 8-10 years at that point, so the huge increase in development was mind blowing to me.
But really, the intensity of the story is what really did it for me. I legit got teary eyed in the intro, and then the burning restaurant scene made me ball my eyes out…

Phenomenal fucking game

Or, to bring it back to my youth… The Illusion of Gaia was probably the first game I played that made me feel things. That was so long ago, and I was so young when that came out that being specific about it is hard. But I think I really related with the main character, and I remember really feeling things during the lost-at-sea raft scene.

I might need to go find the ROM now…

**Or, to go a bit further back, Dragon Warrior.
That was the first game I ever played that really captivated me. It was the first RPG I ever played, and even tho the storyline is incredibly basic and cliche, it was the first time I experienced a story at all in a video game. It’s definitely the reason that I prefer fantasy RPGs over every other type of game

I have so many questions…

We were having issues with our security system at my work one week, which resulted in the alarm going off a lot. For the next several days we had magpies that were mimicking the alarm’s tone and rhythm almost perfectly.
