Dug this. @realgdt.bsky.social doing Frankenstein makes too much sense, and Jacob Elordi was, dare I say, a revelation. A gruesome, gothic winner.

FINALLY got the Orca built. Gonna quickly bang out a couple of smaller sets next. But eventually I’m going to have to decide whether to tackle Rivendell, the Great Deku Tree, or the Black Pearl. (All three are sitting in my office.)

Only Balatro players will understand, but, after an absurd number of attempts, along with seemingly endless frustration, I was FINALLY able to pull this off. Seriously one of the toughest things I’ve ever had to do in a videogame.

You know what’s not ideal when you write for a living (and spend most of your free time playing guitar and videogames)? Shattering your elbow when you tripped and fell over your fire pit because you were suddenly spooked by some deer in your yard (like six feet away from you) at 11:00 at night. 😭
