the <^> game | v. twenty-four

[viles]

• i cut my finger at work several months ago. i'm not comfortable going into details about it in a public setting, but i wound up going to the hospital for it.
  
  ^ oh no, i'm sorry! that sounds uncomfortable :(
  > starkid is remounting the guy who didn't like musicals, and i am annoying all my friends with how excited i am about it (/j)! i rewatched all the hatchetfield musicals yesterday, and i really wish i had someone who wanted to watch them with me KJDHFKSH
  v what's on your mind?

[FoxyCipher]

Very thankful the weather is nice today. If it were cold and rainy like it was last week, I'd have absolutely zero motivation to get anything done at all this weekend.

^ I remember when I was (briefly) interested in Starkid. Twisted isn't bad, but none of their other stuff ever "stuck" for me - looking back on it now, I think something about their sense of humor rubbed me the wrong way. "Immature" isn't quite the right word for it, but it's somewhere in that ballpark. These days I stick to actual Broadway musicals.

> I have SO much to do this weekend. Gotta pay bills, gotta go shopping, gotta do laundry... plus next week at work isn't going to be fun, and I'm not even going to be able to crash and burn next weekend, because I'm going to have something to do for work then too...

v Favorite candy?

[crème de leigh crème]

I could absolutely demolish a share size Twix rn. Masticate it to smithereens

^ That's a looong to do list my friend. My finals are coming up and I empathize, sending virtual hugs. I wonder when your next big break will be, and if you could plan something for then to reward yourself. Also, you're quite a new user, it's so nice to see people still coming here! I hope you're getting all the help you need, pretty much anyone here is happy to help inform on trade values but you probably already know most of the guides haha
> I'm trying a more plant-based diet, and just... Why is nutrition information so contradictory? I already know not to trust everything I read online, and it would take me too long to fully explain, but even some books confuse me haha. I guess... it's a net positive we're making new evidence-based discoveries about nutrition everyday
v Did you drink enough water today? :) Are you someone who forgets to or are you a hydrohomie?

[woahelle]

i'm usually pretty good about remembering, but i forgot to bring my water bottle with me when i went out today. i need to go fill it again! thanks for reminding me.

^ UGH i know! it's so confusing! it's so hard to tell whether a diet/nutrition info is reliable and backed by science or just something that lifestyle influencers want you to believe so they can sell more product. i've recently started dabbling in that world too and it's so exhausting trying to figure out what to put in my body. best of luck to you, friend.
> not sure if this is just me but i have such a hard time with executive dysfunction. i KNOW i have to do the work, but it's like a physical barrier stopping me from beginning a new task. sigh.
v if you could write a tv show/book/movie, what would it be about?

[Anglia]

Perhaps a story about somekind avtar of Earth disguising heself as a human and opening a planetarium in the city, anthropomorphizing the solar system thing, you know. Anyway, I just wast my creativity on writing fanfic.

^ I can understand that feeling, and I also have a similar problem, which is reflected in the fact that even if I want to play games, it will drag on until I can't play them at all, and then precious weekends will pass like this...

> Today is my day off, and I could have used this precious time to play games, write something, or do something meaningful. But now I'm just idling away time before taking a shower, wondering where my cat is hiding. I guess she found another hiding place at home that humans cannot enter, but I have no evidence.

v Did you watch any web series? If did, what is it?

[Chevalier]

Not sure if this counts but I watched Bee and Puppycat back in the day when it was on Youtube.
^ Sometimes a day off doing nothing is good. Spending it with a cat sounds even better.
> My washing machine started smoking, and not in the cool way. Oh dear. At least it had the kindness to finish the load I had on before starting to die, I guess, so I have a week to have it fixed before I need to do laundry again.
v I like this question from above:


v if you could write a tv show/book/movie, what would it be about?

[akü]

it would be so cool to have some kind of visual adaptation of my oc's journey to inter her dragon father's remains in their ancestral home under the sea. if i ever had the time i'd learn ren'py or rpgmaker and make my own little vn or rpg for kicks, but the key word is time and i don't have that :[

^i imagined a washing machine with a fat cigar for a second... in all seriousness, that is very unfortunate and i hope you can have a functioning washing machine soon
> new lorde song was just what i needed... feels nostalgic since it reminds me of melodrama, and that is one of my all time favorite albums
v what is your fav soup? or sandwich if you're not a soup fan

[exigua]

lentil soup, with an honorable mention to egg drop soup (good in its most simple form and good as a base to add even more ingredients to, platonic ideal of soup)

^ hey i follow you on oekaki! very nice linework and rendering, super neat and clean. i do think i'd like to see that kind of style in a game
> i have to figure out what classes i want to take before registration opens but... this semester i dropped all but one of my classes... i'm choosing to believe that this is just not my problem right now. the aimless college student life builds character if you really think about it
v what's something you think is underrated?

[miito]

i think chilling is pretty underrated rn. i feel like everyone is always in a rush to achieve something or do something. i get it, but sometimes i wish people stepped back from hustle culture and took time to themselves. it's also lowkey impossible in this economy so i cant really judge haha...

^ thank you for reminding me about egg drop soup. i am now craving egg drop soup.
> found out i have to double on saturday, which is usually fine, but then also was told i would be alone for all but two hours. please. end my suffering
v how has this month treated you? are you looking forward to anything in may?

[*StormCloud*]

This month has been okay, it's been a rough last few months but I feel like I am getting to a healthier place and hopefully will continue that trend in May c:

^yikes, that sounds miserable. Doubles can be rough, especially when you don't have proper back up. Wishing you luck / a smooth shift!
>Im I think imma make some spicy noodles >:) I'm obsessed with trying random kinds of ramen/ramen-esqe foods, it just makes the perfect snack imo!
v what is your go-to or comfort snack?
