That thing where I overclock my Human Simulation Mask for an Important Conversation and then need to spend some recovery time just being a weird little noise-emitting gremlin for awhile

I think one of the big reasons my marriage has been so successful is that nearly all of our Important Conversations happen in gremlin noises or after a drink or two. Or both.

@pluralistic ooh, that Barnes & Noble in PDX is easy bike distance from my house!

Guess I'll have to pick up a paper copy of Picks & Shovels after already scarfing it down on my e-reader - which I've apparently done with every installment in the Martin Hench series so far 😅

Aw man, I finished the main story in Control again. Got the DLC remaining and then I have to find another game to semi-hyperfocus on for dopamine
