The magpies outside my window having a lengthy conversation.

I missed that the full game has been released!
The demo was a lot of fun. And for some reason the graphics scratch some kind of nostalgic itch for old 80’s CGA graphics.

In all of these cases I always answer “Because I like it that way”
I don’t have to explain anything to anyone if I don’t feel like it.

🎶No no, no no no no🎶

West of Loathing and Shadows over Loathing are two really funny and silly games.

Ouch, that’s way too accurate.
I’m going to save this one for when I started doubting myself again.

I’ve been on it for about 3.5 months now and I think I can see it starting to have effect. Though that could be wishful thinking on my part :)

There’s not been any effect down there. Though in my case I was warned that finasteride could cause somber thoughts and was thoroughly questioned on whether or not I had suicidal thoughts before. But that might just be an extra precaution because of me being trans. Thankfully I haven’t noticed any mood changes, though I asked my partner to keep an eye out.
Also finasteride could have an impact on your liver, so I had to get my blood tested as a precaution.
My GP was hesitant on prescribing due to these effects, but allowed it to due to gender dysphoria.

Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups. Always verify to make sure you(and others) got all the necessary information.

You might worry that you’ll come across as inexperienced or unprepared, but people usually appreciate the effort. And it will save you so much headache down the line.

My samsung printer had terribly unreliable network access. I could never figure out what its problem was.
In the end I connected a raspberry pi zero with a cups server to the usb port and let that one handle all the printer requests. It works so much better now.

My job is important within the company, but that’s about it.
I’m not proud to do it though, just mostly amazed I got this far at all. Impostor syndrome runs strong with me and even after all these years there’s still a nagging worry that they’ll find out that I’ve been faking my competence.

I have several crocheted bracelets around my wrist that I tend to fidget with.

I recently had to attend some course at work. Everyone was required to introduce themselves with their name and a single word that would describe them, starting with the first letter of their name. Like: “My name is Chris and I’m compassionate“
Of course my name starts with a T 🤦‍♀️
I was last in line and all I could think was “don’t say trans, don’t say trans”
Ended up with something lame like “technical” 😒
