And so it was written
that the hand of the LORD didst descend upon the head of Gazelle Joe, and the LORD did say unto Gazelle Joe, “O Joseph of the Gazelles, I am the LORD thy GOD, and I proclaim your hamburgers to be just the worst, absolute dog droppings.”
And Gazelle Joe did look upon the LORD and he didst say “agoo bagga morgus” and then exploded into a fine red mist, and so it was that Gazelle Joe’s business partner, Sally “Party Time” McLastname, did receive the same statement from the LORD but with the names changed.
And Sally “Party Time” McLastname didst say unto the LORD, “So this is kind of a lot to deal with and I don’t really feel I got a fair shake, is it all right if I and my restaurant start looking into worshipping a different deity?”
And the LORD didst produce his STATE-MANDATED LIST OF OTHER DEITIES, and Sally and the LORD did discuss the possibility of her worshipping BELIAL or BEELZEBUB or BAAL or T’KUK or ODIN or SOBEK or PRIMUS or HORUS or THE EMPEROR OF MANKIND or SONIC THE HEDGEHOG or SONIC THE HEDGEHOG WORSHIPPING GOD or SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG or AN ACTUAL HEDGEHOG AT SONIC or SONIC WHO IS A HEDGEHOG BUT NOT SONIC THE HEDGEHOG JUST A HEDGEHOG WHO HAPPENS TO BE NAMED SONIC WHO IS WORSHIPPING SONIC THE HEDGEHOG WHO IN TURN IS WORSHIPPING DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER THAT’S RIGHT WE BROUGHT IT BACK
and that’s why i ruined what are you playing again
Bonus question: How do you cope with not getting enough sleep the night before?
​Andrew Ross (@dengarsw): I managed to snag a Switch 2, so I’ll be swinging between Mario Kart World and Pokemon Go so I don’t turn Wario sized.
Eliot, you spying on me? For those who aren’t, I sneaky nap. Am I watching TV and using my phone? Nope, napping. Reading my notes on a table? Napping. Hanging out with the dog on the floor? Nope, napping and using her as a pillow.
Brianna Royce (@nbrianna.bsky.social, blog): I’m swamped this weekend, or so my calendar says, but I’ll surely get in my Palia. I haven’t missed a day since I started it!
Tea! And going to bed early next time!
Chris Neal (@wolfyseyes.bsky.social, blog): I’m continuing my slow walk up the various levels in Palia, casually doinking around in Monster Hunter Wilds, and hopefully coordinating some time together with the family in the demo of Jump Ship.
Bonus: Generally I feel awful and then force myself to stay up just that little bit later so I can absolutely crash out the next night. Sometimes the plan works but often it doesn’t.
Eliot Lefebvre (@Eliot_Lefebvre, blog): The usual Final Fantasy XIV and Warframe routine, for the most part. I’m not altogether certain, though. It’s been a bad week, folks.
Usually I try to just drink some extra caffeine and go to bed early, which usually means going to bed at the same time and waking up late the next day lately.
Sam Kash (@samkash@mastodon.social): I’ll continue my trek through Nine Sols. It’s got a fairly good difficulty curve. I’ll die several times but then the muscle memory takes over. Also with the head start for Dune Awakening underway I’m hoping to find a few breaths in there as well.
Bonus: Too little sleep is my default. Every night I tell myself I don’t need to stay up another hour to watch anime. Then every night I watch one more episode.
Tyler Edwards (blog): Path of Exile seems to have won my ARPG death match. I don’t love it, but it’s scratching the itch for now. I’m also grinding the seasonal server in New World, but I will probably be spending most of the weekend playing something I can’t talk about.
Bonus: That’s the neat part, I don’t!
