Thank you for bringing this to people's attention! Do you have any links to support causes or raise more awareness?

@Lithium: Hello! Sorry for the delayed reply. For mindscrewy stuff, I was thinking stuff like the Backrooms or SCP case files, where paranormal investigators go out and find weird stuff to mess with - or just normal people get dumped into supernatural situations and have to try and survive. If that sounds like fun, we can put together some sort of mythos (or just crib from existing ones) to play around in.

@MimikyuToo: Well you've already made my day brighter, so you can count that as a win! It's nice that the Sims are so old now that older systems can run them. Doubly so that it's free hahaha. In emergencies, you can always get the roms for old game boy / DS sims games and really rough it :^)

@MimikyuToo: I do love wholesome streamers. It's nice to take a refuge in a pastel bunker when the whole world is collapsing and watch someone play with digital dolls, hehe. How long have you been playing the Sims? I never played any other than 4, but I played Sim City 2000 when I was a kid. :) (And also, it's physically impossible to fail a Friday, as any time not used working on it contributes to an EXTENDED WEEKEND AW YEAH )

@Totalanimefan: Haha, it's alright. You're totally correct about the food thing though. I can't get out of the grocery store for less than $30 no matter what I try to get. It's alright, though. Hopefully my birthday will be at least a little fruitful, and that's coming up in a few days, haha. Sorry to be such a downer, though! What've you been up to today?

@Hydrangea: Nah you're fine! I was just being sarcastic about my dumb assumption that you were in the same time zone as me. Well don't stay up too late!! Remember to get at least a little sleep tonight.


@Totalanimefan: Oh yeah, I'm living that dream full throttle right now. I found out that my credit is good enough that my bank will cover overdrafts of up to $1k, so I basically do all my grocery shopping right before rent is due, then let it get hit way into the negatives until my next paycheck, lmao. The worst part is this job is new and it's a big step up from what I was earning before. Only issue is my gf can't work so I have to support the two of us.

@Hydrangea: What?? Impossible. Everyone knows the entire world works off of the time zone of the United States east coast and that's it. Then it sounds like you're just about ready to get your weekend started!! May the art gods bless you with one uncharacteristically good doodle, and several others you enjoy but only enough to keep around for a little while.

@Hydrangea: Well I can say with all certainty and without a doubt that it is, IS, unequivocally, Friday. And I'm very excited about this! Hoping I get to work some on either a game or some writing this weekend. What about you?

@Hydrangea: Okay, fine, binary brush or what have you. I respect the CRISPNESS of your art!!!

@Totalanimefan: We'll have to see if it covers it! I also have my tax return coming in, so I won't be destitute, but I like to live life with a little mystery.


@MimikyuToo: Omg my girlfriend loves lilsimsie so much. I could never really get into the SIms myself (unless I was doing really weird challenges like my Worm Man underground run, or my all-water dolphin challenge) but it's really fun to watch what other people get up to.

@Hydrangea: Oh my gosh!!!!! That art is so good, I have infinite respect for pixel artists.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah, we're looking at basically 11 hour days for the whole week. Possibly next week too, depending on when they cut me off, lmao. But at the end of the pay period, if my calculations are correct (i've always wanted to say that) I should be up an extra $500 or so.

@Meg: Heya! Welcome back! I hope your absence has been restful and edifying.


@MimikyuToo: I was gonna write my dream down from last night and share it on here, but to be honest, I zonked out so hard watching Markiplier play Power Wash Simulator that I don't even know if I dreamed at all.

@MimikyuToo: Nap dreams are literally either "oh i saw a cat!" or a fifteen year long epic saga where you watch the rise and fall of kingdoms with involved lore and characters that you can't ever hope to put to words when you awaken. There is no in between.

@Totalanimefan: Well hey, when your car breaks down and the apartment needs repair, sometimes you just do what you gotta to make ends meet. It helps that the boss just greenlit a ton of basically uncapped overtime pay so I can just sit here and process records for ten hours straight, haha.
