In our year-end review post, I mentioned having dropped the ball on several things I still intend to get back to when time/energy levels/etc. allow. We still plan to do the 2021 gameblogging awards posts, for example, even if it's 2022 now. I'd like to stream more, too. (Oh, we're on Twitch now, by the way.) All sorts of creative stuff from ( Read more... )

The year is drawing to a close, and the title of this post doesn't refer to my or our intent to discontinue our yearly recap posts or anything like that; we're reporting as normal (sort of) and it's our lives that feel like this was the year that everything just kind of... stopped.

There's our former job, you see. ( Former? Ah, yes, about that.... )

We don't upgrade computers very often. When we do, we tend to go excessive. This is mostly a case of applying Vimes Boots Theory to PCs, and going big just to give ourselves room to grow.

Happy June 25! (Posting this early because I'll be working tomorrow, shush.) That is, of course, the estimated "ehh close enough" day we choose to observe and celebrate Sara's birthday. :D ( Read more... )

I had a bunch of doctor's appointments and exams today, mostly because I only wanted to use one day's worth of PTO to get as many of them crossed off as possible because I'm stingy.

Disclaimer: The post title is a joke taken from some late-night banter with friends in our room. Someone blurted that out in response to some comment or another, I noted how that without context would make a great slogan or bumper sticker or something, and then added, "Watch, I'll probably make it the title of my recap post."
