This is a snip from one of my newsletters. I cannot express how happy I am with the results. A little bittersweet because Tennessee remains a shitshow but that wasn't unexpected. What was, was just how bigly we crushed the maggots. May this be the true beginning of the end for all them, with a nice stop in a prison cell. But that might be hoping for too much. All I know is I truly feel like we just saved this country.
It Ain't No Big Thing, but an orb spider has been Only Alive in the corner of our back door. We've cleverly named him Roy Orbison. Even If Only For While, he's become our Best Friend and we try our best not to have a Communication Breakdown. Though sometimes he builds his House Without Windows a little too big and we have to knock down some of those Rings of Gold. Roy understands Changes. He's no Problem Child. He just comes Crawling Back, no harm no foul. I hope he doesn't Drift Away from A Love So Beautiful. But if he does our memories of Roy are Something They Can't Take Away. I will Say No More.
I like games where you get to build things, like your own home. Valheim seemed like a perfect fit and had great reviews but it just didn't click with me. I ended up moving on to my next game before putting much time into the building portion. The combat was limited and a little boring, but the biggest sin was it was a huge world and you had to run, very slowly, everywhere. Or build a very slow ship that was extremely frustrating to use. You spent way more time just jogging to get places than doing anything fun or interesting. And when you finally got to make portals - for some inexplicable reason the devs decided you couldn't use the portal carrying certain key items. Making the portals basically useless. Anyway, big miss for me. On to the next great adventure!
And so we come to another crossroads in our country. I hope, but I am pessimistic. People suck and my donkey friends seem to be so adept and pulling defeat from victory. We shall see. Fingers crossed.
Bear's first Halloween with us. He didn't seem all that thrilled. He quickly got bored so we took him inside and he took a nap.
