I know I'm on here encountering terrible posts and taking psychic damage, but you won't catch me dead on X or Threads. That's like escalating from a weed to PCP in terms of health risk.

I'm increasingly annoyed by products advertised as Advent calendars when they're not 25 days and don't count down to Christmas. It's not a Halloween Advent calendar, it's just a Halloween Calender!

It's thematically appropriate that Darktide released their new level the day I scheduled my flu and covid vaccines. Hopefully my arm isn't too sore to play it when I get back.
