    Week is going okay. Gearing up for some fun TTRPG game sessions. Been trying to get past the 2nd act of Inscryption too (it’s my 2nd time attempting). Love the game, but 2nd act is just such a drag compared to the 1st act. But I wanna complete it because I loved the 1st act so much. 2nd act brings it down for me a lot, but I still really respect the committment and decision to make such a drastic switch—it’s why I love indie games, really.

    WARNING - RANT: You ever have a best friend who, in your adult life, you realize you two just aren’t on the same page anymore? It’s been a difficult realization over the past 5 years or so that my best and I are just on 2 different sides of the political spectrum, and I’m sort of mourning that. What makes it worse is that sometimes, it feels like he doesn’t care about how I might feel about something and just goes ahead and sends me racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc. content. It’s very difficult to talk to him about it even though I know I should, but I just kind of ignore it or awkwardly play along.

      I have a friend like that as well. I basically told him that we can’t talk politics if we want to stay friends. Keep in mind if that wasn’t going to be honored on either side I was willing to end the friendship.
