Programming is so funny. Game I'm playing was crashing after new mod install. Find singular comment about some weird fix.
On line 261 in some XML deep in the mods files is "Guinea Pig" and for some reason that's causing the crash. Remove it and the mod works great.

It should be illegal for vets to cost so much.
$1,400 just to say they don't know what's causing our cats issues, and then they wanted another $2,000 to give him a treatment that may not even work. (We opted out of that, I'd rather give him the medicine myself and save $1,940)

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

This Elden Ring randomizer seed is a troll.
I have been all over the base game, looted so many items, killed so many bosses. I was even working toward the DLC just to find a single great rune.
Then I said to my wife "I bet I can get to 100 bosses killed before I find one."
Boss #99 dropped one.

The great thing about doing randomizer runs in Elden Ring is when it swaps bosses around it tries to change their name to match what is there and what used to be there. So when Commander O'Neil replaces Wormface we get this:
I almost died to him because how do you fight while laughing at the name?

I've really gotten into building adventure maps in Minecraft. I'm having so much fun making little redstone puzzles, stories and hidden lore. Plus some pretty nice builds. (to pat myself on the back a bit)

#LateNightWrite really making me work for it. But once I remembered the name there is one song.
Loretta (FMC) has one goal: one more day. No matter the cost. To me the song is about begging for just a little bit more time. So it fits.

Hey #LateNightWrite I'm Melissa. I'm no good at talking about myself, but who is? I write, play games and collect cephalopod stuffies.
My current WIP is a post-apoc adventure with a mechanic FMC (and her companion ferret name Sparkplug) who breaks a few people with a giant wrench.
