“At last! The lost Temple of the Dragon Sword! Wealth beyond imagining is ours!”
“Sir, there’s apparently been a transcription error.”
“A transcription error?”
“This is the Temple of the Dragon’s Word, sir.”
“Word, you say.”
“Yes sir. There’s a plaque.”
“I see. And it says?”
“It says ‘Kindness and friendship are the greatest of all life’s treasures’, sir. It is signed ‘Nydjwallyier’, I believe a dragon’s name.”
“I see. I am somewhat let down by this.”
“We did make friends along the way, sir.”

Black Mesa Spoilers 

playing through Xen on the new Black Mesa beta finally. and...WWWOWW it is SO different!! for a start, it's absolutely beautiful to look at, properly alien looking environments, wonderfully detailed, a real feeling of wandering an alien ecology and landscape, an ACTUAL RESEARCH FACILITY MADE WITH TEMPORARY PORTABLE BUILDINGS LIKE THERE WOULD BE FOR A RESEARCH EXPEDITION, interesting new enemies and environmental hazards...

and actually FUN to traverse!!

my brain this morning: hey, hey, wanna hear a song?

my brain: :) too late :) *animutation flood!*

private health insurance stuff 

#PrivateHealthLIFEhacks actually we can think of a few notes, about prescriptions

get your prescription refills before it's super necessary if you can, so that you don't run low, and so that you have a buffer if you need to argue price with the pharmacist.

also: discuss prices with your pharmacist. ask if that's with insurance, for example. there are some things, like GoodRx here goodrx.com/ that provide free coupons that drop the price of uninsured medication by a lot, and sometimes, that price drop can literally be more than insurance saves you if you're able to be on private insurance. it's very good to keep an eye on if those or something similar will pop up local to you.

uk pol inspired private health insurance stuff over on twitter 

over on twitter, Imani Barbarin started posting #PrivateHealthLIFEhacks, which is a hashtag for the disabled community in the US (mostly) to spread info about getting by with private health insurance

twitter.com/Imani_Barbarin/sta

we'd defs recommend posting stuff here (we'd post things ourselves if we knew anything) and do check out the tag over on twitter

however, Skatebird looks fun as shit so I'm still probs gonna check it out, especially on Switch.

the Skatebird demo was really hard to control and I'm not sure if that's just me not having gotten to grips with this steam controller yet or what. also steam why is your layout weird for the buttons why this is very weird of you

so the System Shock Remaster demo is... good? but holy fuck none of the audio options work or do anything (including subtitles it seems) so voices get drowned out by the music and the fuckloud sound effects, there's no brightness options and everything is fucking pitch black, it's really unclear what you're meant to do to proceed and it's got massive performance issues even on lowest settings, but...

damn that's atmospheric and it looks good.
