Who has two thumbs and forgot her meds this morning??? 👎👎 this girl

Turns out I can get a new video card for much, much cheaper than I originally anticipated 👀

Person: [carrying a covered foil pan]

Everyone in the office: 👀 whatcha got there?? 👀

Also last night I dreamed that Jake Peralta was confirmed bi on the show. Imagine my irritation at waking up to a world where this was still not the case

Hahaha so my #Frostpunk city got totally befuckened last night. It’s kind of “fun”/clever how you don’t know what the weaknesses in your city are until it’s already too late to fix them.

Anyway, my people banished me from the city to die in the wilderness, going to try again lol

I finished A Wizard of Earthsea and accidentally spilled feelings all over my Goodreads review

My least favorite part about the city-building gaming community is the people who are like “your city is totally inefficient!!! Your houses should be in 4x4 grids!!! You aren’t maximizing your coal output because your road is 2 units too long!!!!” like ok maybe my town isn’t 100% efficient but isn’t the point of this to have fun and be creative so you don’t end up with the same city every time?

All additional CWs are subject to my own judgment. I tend to CW things that are gross, uncomfortable, or that involve a lot of immature bitching on my part, but I can’t make any promises about content.

Of course, if we’re mutuals or if we interact a lot, feel free to ask me to CW something and I will do so.

I don’t post much NSFW, but that will always have a CW.

I will never be able to CW every potential trigger for every person. That said, I do my best to cover direct mentions of some of the big/common ones, not limited to:
- rape/abuse
- drugs/alcohol
- blood/gore/body horror
- suicide/self-harm
- mental illness

I don’t CW food, homebrewing, or political, since those make up at least 50% of my content. I happily invite you to mute me if this is problematic for you.

Side note, paczkis are great, shoutout to Polish Catholics for blessing us non-Polish non-Catholics with your tasty donuts

I’m still kind of grumpy and unmotivated, but I keep myself in perspective by looking back to where I was in February of 2017

Shit was BAD and DARK overall, but a useful reference point is the time when I woke up at 3am, disheveled and unrested, and got up to eat a paczki (standing over the sink) instead of lying awake in bed, and I tend to do gross things like that in an attempt to feel any sense of joy or pleasure in the midst of depression

Reality check 2019: I’m not doing this!

So far Frostpunk is like if Banished and The Long Dark had a sad, cold little baby

Social media was a mistake

Wow!!!!! I gave my CPU and GPU a little baby boost each, and Frostpunk is now playable! Still potato, but not intolerable!

Overclocking for the first time. Pretty sure I’m going to break something, buuuut new hardware is on my shopping list anyway...

Update: I’m getting like 10fps lol

I GOT FROSTPUNK RUNNING! Graphics are set somewhere between “Etch-a-sketch” and “Tamagotchi” but it’s working!!!!
