* I keep thinking 'I'm pretty much over this cold or whatever, I just need a bit of a nap.... why is it tomorrow?'
How the fuck is it Monday?
* I was really looking forward to finishing Lost Records: Bloom & Rage now that the second half of the game it out, but the game thinks I didn't nab the main quest item from tape 1. I was a few hours into tape 2 before I realized it. As great as the story is, the actual mechanics are very futzy and slow, and this hasn't been the only bug. Some games are fun because of the actual game play, some are good in spite of the gameplay.
I don't have time for this, I am going to find a LP to finish it out.
* [pours salt circle around flist] I really should not engage about Murderbot outside of this space. At this point some of the discourse is so far removed from the reality of the canon I am pretty sure people are just making shit up to support their takes. Actually, in a few cases I am completely sure. Maybe once the show is out the hype will drown some of it out? I wonder if it's dropping weekly or all at once?
It's fine to relate in various ways or to have different takes, but there is some wild stuff out there. Not sure what I expected from the fandom that thinks I haven't really consumed the canon because I like the wrong audio adaptation.

I'm up to Exit Strategy on my re-listen, and Murderbot is still pretty great, so we have that at least.

I did see Martha Wells' response to the take that was insisting that Murderbot used she/her pronouns in the books... and I've otherwise just seen other second- and third-hand takes responding to some toxic weirdness that I never directly encountered.
I'm afraid to look!
