A big part of US internet now is someone posting "America must be cleansed. Women are eating a new food called 'salad.'" And then random people start making shit up like "What even is 'salad?' I had never heard of this until yesterday." And if you don't stop reading that shit you will go insane.

Working on some very cool secret offstream grinds. They're very cool, but I just don't feel like explaining them/verifying my research live until I see it for myself and make a video!!

My day in 3 radically different images. Warhammer to start, Buccees and Pokemon midday, Everdell with my wife and friends to end. Shout out to @absol.standingintheodds.com for also sharing in the FOMO on the poke events this weekend (by having our own event with Buccees and Bidoofs!)

Got a used Sun file today, and the only 3 nicknamed Pokémon are it are TROY, SHELIA, & BILL. They never caught Tapu Fini... I must do that someday. Maybe a lock removal hunt if I'm feeling insane??

Retro gamers, beware of grifters. I swear they're worming their way into retro gaming spaces trying to act like they always ran things and trying to push a narrative that games were better when marginalized people were out of the spotlight playing them.
