He (and Hoi) are just two little guys that have a hilarious soundtrack. All the jokes so far have been just expressions of joy at this silly little internet find that isn't at the cost of anyone. And I think I have missed this on the modern internet. The story is true! (2/2)
I've been thinking about why I've been enjoying all the Moon Child memes & riffs so much. Beyond my brain being mush from an intense week, I think it is because there is no need to worry about it going bad: it is what it is. There isn't going to be a milkshake duck scenario or pivot to AI etc. (1/2)
Moon Child began life as an Amiga AGA title before shifting to PC, where it finally saw release in 1997. A fascinating glimpse into a project caught between two eras. More here:

Co-op has some quirks but is really fun
I really hope you like it
I didn't realise how much I could want this
Just driving around just building roads (+ a few very good scenes) has been a boon for my mental health of late
So I'm doing my last suicide & client risk module atm after losing a friend at the end of last year. Obviously not a fun topic & is always going to be draining, but I'm writing this as a reminder to try to show myself a bit of grace if I'm having extra motivation/other issues over this next week.
Or perhaps more power would help?
Congratulations! As someone who struggled through 6.5 years of a PhD I know writing something this big is no joke! Love your work & I really hope this feels wonderful for you for a very long time.

It is also where The Matrix has The Woman in the Red Dress scene. A factoid I have been compelled by my brain to repeat for over 25 years & apparently must continue to do so.
Mumbo's Hut still slaps to this day

Leon: Take this gun Grace. I have two more right here.
A circular diagram that shows Ten Dimensions of Belonging: Being Loved, Being Present, Being Invited, Being Welcomed, Being Known, Being Accepted, Being Supported, Being Heard, Being Befriended, Being Needed.
A helpful description of Belonging was shared with me recently. It really hit home. It’s not just being in physical proximity to others. It is being accepted, respected, valued - and missed when you’re gone.
Finished my 4th & final run of Resident Evil 9 last night to get the last achievement. Fantastic game. While it has its flaws here & there, the one big drain for me is the flashback in the latter 1/3 of the game. While ok during the first run, latter runs it became a boring chore. Allow to skip pls!
It's a good game! I hope you enjoy it.
this really feels like the last days of social media, because if/when this place goes to hell I don't have another jump left in me.
This is technology beyond my understanding
Single-panel comic. The ADHD Alien character stands in comfortable home clothes, holding a mug and giving a small, tired smile. Her hair is messy, and the background shows a cluttered table with dishes, suggesting low energy and difficulty keeping up with tasks. Text reads: “I was supposed to make more content and post more often, but I spent last week being overwhelmed, depressed and did almost nothing.” Below, smaller text adds: “(I did shower yesterday, yay)”
It’s still hard for me to accept that my mental health issues are legitimately exhausting and something I need to rest from.
PSA for Discord's new age verification!
If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it.
Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+
It's really that simple. Give them nothing.
Or I'll do it lol
Best of luck! I know housing stuff here in Sydney is monstrous but good on you giving TAFE a run too.
On refection these negative feelings MAY have been exacerbated by medication withdrawal...
See, if I stop listening to my anxiety brain for ONE minute & tell myself it is ok to relax for like 2 weeks, I'm immediately rewarded with my washing machine breaking mid cycle. Landlords will cover the machine replacement cost but the stinky sodden clothes & wet carpet are all mine to deal with.
I'm going to give myself a pass for January to just be some sort of creature (after everything that has & is happening), but the plan is for Feb to start getting ready for work & the end of Masters. I also need to figure out what I'm going to do with this account. Personal? Mixed with psych stuff?
Enjoy freedom!
For a depressing time look up Australia's "robodebt" scandal and how the current government is fighting to keep the program going despite several inquiries finding how bad it is. Gotta get those people out into the workforce at any cost!
I really feel this
