Also I appreciate that people will offer kind words, but unless you're prepared for the situation, maybe don't engage me on this topic. I'm an absolute wreck at this point.

One of our pets is declining. I've had many animal companions over the years but this is my closest one yet and the grief is hitting me really hard.
I want to keep this private but I thought I should post this just to say I'll be less emotionally available until this blows over.
Early reactions to Tyrant Lizard Queen are starting to trickle in, one goodreads review concluding the story is โthe most extreme enemies to lovers I have ever read.โ ๐ฆ
thank you for this, Joe! btw would it be possible to include their block sizes? would make planning a lot easier before committing to a purchase
yeah it's arguably the darkest plot the franchise has ever seen
wow damn pokopia's lore text get much darker than i thought it would, the internet's gonna have a field day with the speculations when people have collected all of them
i thought it was because they were buried in ranch dressing
this character-based approach feels even weirder once you've read enough lore text to decipher why the world is the way it is in the game. like there should be definitely more than one individuals of each species in this world
A hand-drawn digital painting by the artist Dhiyanah Hassan of three garden eels on the ocean floor. The one in thr foreground is painted in more detail, sticking out from the sand and slightly bending its head towards streams of light depicted in a soft lilac tone, part of the dynamic shading of the piece. The other two are in the background, facing the opposite direction but similarly looking up at the light rays. The background is a mix of textured and blurry, wuth some grains of sand highlighted.

it keeps getting deeper and deeper, this is a big problem
i was shocked by the price tag (both the console & the game) but it's annoyingly, incredibly good
pokemon players: HMs suck
pokopia: what if the entire game is HMs
yeah that's why i can't bring myself to delete my accounts even though i've emptied them out. it's annoying

Sailing The Golden Chersonese!
it's seriously incredible! hope you'll get it eventually
yeah even the game itself seemed expensive for me but then i tried it and it's probably the most solid game in its genre since ACNH, so i was like, ok i get it now
tried to play "a bit" of pokopia after work
suddenly it's 4:30am
this is gonna be an ACNH-sized obsession isn't it
LOL true

Joe I haven't even started and you're almost done ๐
hope you get a well deserved break soon

This is still just the tip of the iceberg, though. I could rant for hours!
I bet it's the same for speech-to-text, if you could find someone from that industry to explain!
