we all knew Gritty had a dark side
Gritty looks like a bearded muppet who had its facial skin ripped off. I find exploring his soft side to be the bigger topic lol
I bet Gritty lurks on those 'cannibal looking for people who want to be eaten' forums.

@Tinuviel The only texture I want in my salad is croutons.
I love/hate croutons. They're tasty.
But they crumble when I try to spear them with my fork.
Fuckin' bastards.
I like spinach and kale.
Both raw and cooked.
Come at me, bro.
So it's not a depression meal and yet... it is.
I woke up today an hour late.
I realized I hadn't showered in 3 days.
I barely got a lunch and breakfast (I eat breakfast once I get to work because if I eat in the first 2-3 hours of my day, I get sick) together.
I realized I was deep in SAD. Shit I needed to do around the apartment was going undone, etc.
So, as my workday wound down, I realized I really wanted meatballs. So I told myself: self. You need groceries. If you get groceries, you get the stuff to make meatballs. If you MAKE THE MEATBALLS, you can have them.
So I did. And it not only kept me from grazing or eating ramen or (worse) ordering delivery... it got me out of my funk enough to do some stuff around the apartment. And y'know what? I enjoyed it. I made something delicious, from scratch, without a recipe.
It wasn't easy but it was absolutely worth it. But I think it still counts.
We have those giant sticky notes. On one, we've just been writing various forms of Hello (or jokes: 'Oh hi Mark').
Coworker just walked up and wrote 'Hello' in Hebrew. He turned to me, points at it, goes 'It's Hebrew.'
Me: 'I can recognize Hebrew. I just can't read it. I should, for having taken it for five years.'
Him: '..... Five years? We're discussing this tomorrow.'
@surreality just develop OCD
the only time my place isn't clean is when I'm too sick or depressed to clean
it's greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat
(not.)
I have a bunch of porkchops. I bought a pack to make a thing. I made the thing. But I have a bunch more porkchops still in the freezer.
Gimme your porkchop recipes.
Feeling v. unwell today. Like, 'fear I might pass out' unwell... and I can't put my finger on why, which makes it hard to resolve. It began with nausea that set in when I got to the bus and expanded to just an off feeling in my head.
Getting food and caffeine in me to see if it helps, but I honestly wish I knew what the deal was.

But what if we like pretty games and have neither of those things?
Feel wistful like me.
Stumptown. It's pretty good! And who the hell knew Maria Hill/the chick from How I Met Your Mother could act? As it turns out, she damn well can.
Cobie Smulders? #1 fan pick for FemShep?
I love her.

My stupid left hip hurts and feels out of 'place' somehow. And tomorrow I have to deal with team lead who will make me crazy.
I feel this way about my legs today. Not the out of place part. The pain part. I get this deep bone ache in them and I didn't wanna 'whine' but it fucking hurts and I share because, well, I want you to know you aren't alone in hurting and needing to have a 'this fucking sucks' moment.
Can I join too? Joints are unhelpful and painful. I have a day of university with bad chairs today and I woke up with pain.
Please.
Feel free to join the 'I hurt and there's nothing I can do about it so I just need to bitch about it' club.
For me it's not even my joints. I just get this really deep ache in my legs sometimes that's reminiscent of the growing pains I'd get as a kid.

I acknowledge that Space Engineers is 6 years old, but damned if it hasn't kept me distractedly entertained for the last two weeks.
It is, but it didn't get the updates that made it a full game and not just a sort of constructor set until just a couple years ago.

Also, Faraday once named a plot scene I ran as one of her all time favorites.
So I love her just for that.
(OK not just for that but damn it made me feel good.)

I've been playing The Arcana, which is a mobile game. It's beautifully drawn and has pretty music and a neat story. It's a romance / VN with several unique routes and a story wound up with some neat Tarot mythos. You can pick your gender and pronouns. It's real good. I have been enjoying it enough that I looked up the dev and downloaded their other game also.
I have spent too much money on extra scenes. >.>
I started to play and then stopped because I knew I'd want to spend money and I can't afford to spend money but.
Buuuuuut
It is gorgeous so I recommend that anyone who either has restraint or money play it.
