My dad has been having lots of fun with my gifted copy of Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate; he's almost at rank 15 too, which is further than I've ever gotten.

I wish that yesterday's school shooting that affected multiple people got anywhere near as much attention as the other event that happened yesterday; a lot of media seems to be ignoring it and I think that's disrespectful to the students involved.

My latest psychiatrist appointment went better than expected and I have a newer third medication that should target depression; unlike with an older third medication that didn't work out, this one won't have weight gain as a side effect, so I'm feeling hopeful and optimistic.

A cartoon Swan and a cartoon Ram stand next to each other, both in more goth/black attire than usual. In addition both have makeup on, mostly around the eyes but also on the eyebrows, and some lipstick. the Swan has a heavy metal logo t-shirt that says BE KIND, whilst the Ram has leather jacket on, sporting a Trans Rights and Pansexual flag badge.

Been spendin a lot of time trying to work out the mechanics/possibilities of doing the Swan & Ram comic I planned. Most issues come from how to do BGs/colours. Did some (rough) experiments last night, and I'd be interested to know how people think it looks. Had to crop to avoid story contexts. #Art

A cartoon Ram looks sad and tired, with an abstract blue background and blue tinted shading. A cartoon Swan looks cheerful in an abstract, orange-tinted playground/park setting.

The fact that some people are complaining about Silksong being priced at $20 rather than more is honestly baffling and annoying to me; the game already costs $5 more than its predecessor, and the takes that involve attributing malice to the developers are beyond stupid. #Silksong

A (roughly drawn) four panel comic of the Spooky Lizard getting his guyliner on. In panel one, he looks into the mirror, shocked that he doesn't have any on. In panel two, he can be seen walking into a BOOts Pharmacy, that advertises a new miracle drug 'Coke' and 'Vegan Plasters'. In panel three, he can be seen, grinning and with a basket full of 'guyliner' at the till, where a BOOts employee looks on in exhaustion and shock. In panel four, he can be seen applying his guyliner/mascara in the mirror and looking happy about it.

I have to get a new hedgehog wheel for Lil' Ma'am today since her old wheel has finally started making loud and squeaky noises; I got that one on May 19, so if we assume that Lil' Ma'am runs 5 miles a night, that means that the wheel has endured 510 miles of running and is now screaming for mercy.

I think Dawntrail had more fade-to-blacks followed by cutscenes than it did ordinary conversations that didn't first wrestle control away from you; cinematic sequences are of course fine, but there's a point where it becomes excessive and mostly used for mundane exchanges.
