Fallen Tear: The Ascension: They cannot name a video game anymore. All the names are taken. This is an, again, gorgeous Metroidvania. They put some money into it and I will probably get this one too.

Wild Blue Skies: Really pretty Star Fox clones. Almost looks like a mix of Wind Waker and Star Fox.

Steam Next Fest is a semi-annual event on Steam showcasing demos for upcoming games. They're limited time only demos, so you have to jump on it now if you're interested to try them. The current Next Fest ends on Monday, so you have basically the weekend to try them out. Here are some of the better demos I've tried so far. Vampire Crawlers: from the Vampire Survivor people, it's a dungeon crawler roguelike card-battler. I know that sounds terrible, but it's awesome. I will 100% be buying this when it comes out. The Eternal Life of Goldman: this one's a platformer, sort of similar to Rayman Legends, but with a conceit similar to NES Ducktales. You bounce on a pogostick-like cane. The graphics are GORGEOUS. Kind of similar to Cuphead, but a bit more refined. Scott Pilgrim EX: A sequel to Scott Pilgrim vs The World, the great pixel graphic style with all the fun of a brawler, and the elder Millennial references. Those have been the standouts so far, but I'll make some more posts as the weekend goes on.

When will he die?

If conventional firepower became as powerful as mid-20th century nuclear weapons, but there was no nuclear fallout, would they be more likely to be used?

Why is Vegeta always reluctant to put on the potara earrings? He’s the dominant personality in Vegito and he gets mad powerful AND taller (not that he’s ever minded being a short king). What gives?

More and more, people are rejecting the advice of experts, doctors, engineers, and various other people who specialize in one form or other of their profession. Just so many folks out there that have "done their own research" and believe because they found someone else who agrees with them on social media, that their opinion (that's the kind version) is correct. Is this fixable? Should we dismantle social media? Are those folks right? Also, has cynicism won the day?

I'm doing way way better, haven't vomited today and I was able to eat and take meds. Thanks everyone for the advice and well-wishes! All good to know if there's a next time, so it doesn't hopefully get this far.

I’m home, they ran so many tests and said it’s just RSV. This is the devil’s anus of colds if that’s true. I feel so much better though, they pumped me full of stuff. So happy, I may even eat tomorrow.

Well, I’m in the waiting room of the hospital, hoping to be seen soon…

Thanks y’all, this has been uniquely miserable.

Sick, extremely post nasal drip, vomiting very frequently. HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO TAKE MY MEDICINE!? Seriously I don’t know what to do. I can’t keep liquid down sometimes. What can I do?

Why did that Nerds commercial have a Jeffrey Epstein look-a-like?

No gender reassignment here, my best feature is my beard, and I'm not an extrovert so bearded lady is out.

Ryan is PR to appease the fanbase, is my take.
