I'm doing okay. I'm having a lot of health issues tho. Specifically, I have an incisional hernia. (Read: I got my gallbladder removed 10 years ago, and the incision that they made in my bellybutton, that they pulled my gallbladder out through, has torn open, and now there's a hernia there. Fun stuff.) My surgeon recommended I lose about 40 lbs before I have the surgery tho, to give myself the best chance of a successful repair. Which is fun because I've been trying to lose weight idk my entire life???

So I've been meeting with a therapist and a nutritionist for BED for about 6 months now, which has been very helpful and I'm now in recovery from that. But it didn't lead to any significant weightloss lol so now I'm on Zepbound. I've been on the lowest dose for 2 months and I'm about to start the next dose up this Friday.

Other than ALL THAT, things have been good. My family is doing well. My mom has her own health problems but she's finally taking some initiative on that. My brother got divorced but he has a house now, and a good co-parenting relationship with his ex. And my nephew is about to turn 11 and he's such a smart and awesome kid :') Hasana-chan is still my bestie and we're doing good as well uwu♦️

I've deadass never been so stoked on a video game in my life holy fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I am obsessed with this game, I wish I had a computer that could run it :')

"The Thing" is one of my absolute favorite horror movies, and "Still Wakes The Deep" is a perfect love-letter to it. The setting, attention to detail, the building of tension, the music, the monster, god, even the main character is named McLeery, which you cannot tell me is not a direct nod to MacReady.

If you love "The Thing" as much as I do, and wish you could experience what it was like to watch it for the first time again, 10outa10 would recommend playing this game, or at the very least, watching MrKravin play it on YouTube. MrKravin specifically, because he currently LIVES in Scotland, where this game takes place, so his perspective is [chefs kiss]

You're asking MOI?

I'm so flattered ☺️!

To give you the cliffnotes version, it's a horror ARG about an old Sesame Street style show called Welcome Home, that was super popular in the 70's, but suddenly vanished from the airwaves under mysterious circumstances. The ARG comes into play in the form of a website, created by a team who is trying to gather proof of the shows existence, but there seems to be a sinister force at play within the website itself.

The website has undergone several updates since its inception, almost like seasons of a show. Each update brings a new element of the story to explore. so to get the full experience from the beginning, i recommend watching Night Mind's coverage of the story. (This is an unlisted playlist i made 👌)
