Why does my head hurt? I feel like I've been hit with a sledgehammer. Oh right, I had a fuck-awful day. I love my job, I work with wonderful people, my team is amazing. If what had happened today happened everywhere else it would be the end of my world pretty much, but this is ultimately nbd. However, the fact is there are times where being in IT is ridiculously stressful, and this is one of those times. We've gotten hit with a virus in a really, really bad way. Oof.

Doubleposting because today is a day for winning. My short-term disability claim was approved!!!!! FINALLY.

@cupcake said in Good TV: You guys, the new She-Ra and the Princesses of Power on Netflix is amazing and fun for a girl and a boy. Or kids and adults. The animation is exquisite and the storylines and character development are refreshing. I was expecting it to be good. A (male) friend of mine was regaling me with how, when he was a kid, She-Ra was exactly what he needed. How HeMan was too 'much' (in his opinion) in the camp of "let's mostly just preach lessons at boys AND sell toys" and how when She-Ra came out, it actually told stories and had realistic scenarios and while 'aimed' at girls, it engaged girls and boys both because of that factor. Which was why he loved She-Ra as a kid. He said the new one does exactly the same thing and he's been loving it for that exact reason. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I'm really looking forward to when I get to sit down and do so.

Forever reposting. Telltale is amazing. @thenomain said in General Video Game Thread: Hold on, let me get out my megaphone.... @jaded said in General Video Game Thread: Anyone who has been eyeing some of the Tell Tale Games and considering buying them, the company is delisting games for purchase in Steam but remain available if you have purchased them. So if you want anything you better grab it. There is so much good shit out there from Telltale. Of course mostly "The Walking Dead" and "The Wolf Among Us". No doubt someone will buy up this catalog for stupid cheap, but in the meantime, here you go.

As someone who is bi, the way it is done is what bothers me. That's what is upsetting me. If it was done well. Written well. Woven in well. I'd be more comfortable /OK with it. It just feels wedged in. And I feel uncomfortable looking away in that "Well it's horror" way. I'm glad they're being called out. They should be. Write horror. But write it in a respectful fashion.

@sparks said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff: @auspice said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff: @sparks I've heard good things about it. How it is uh, injecting yourself? Very easy, only hurts a little. (On the migraine sufferer pain scale, the pain doesn't even register.) I am admittedly not a fan of needles, so I'm always antsy about things where I have to stab myself. >.> But if it helps the migraines and the doctor is willing to try it (I'm gonna be very pushy to try a new medication and not just bump the topiramate since doubling the dosage didn't work)......I'll give it a go for sure.
