DoA #17

The nose nose.

You know I was going to sit and write a big ol’ clever opener for this DoA - kinda like I do each week- but then I got a nosebleed. And it bled and it bled and I think it drained both my concentration and my will to be productive.

Actually, what’s more annoying than the nosebleed is the fact that I just had my nose cauterized last week for nosebleeds. THAT was a rousing success. Apparently, there are two ways to cauterize your nose: one where you get knocked out and it’s very involved (I didn’t have that one), and then one where they singe it with some crap and it hurts for a bit.

Sooo yea. I guess I’ll see what the ENT says tomorrow. Fingers crossed that I don’t have to go back in and have it done…again?

Let’s jump into the past week!

❣️Noteworthy Last Week

⌛ The Front released into Early Access- it looks like a bit of a trainwreck currently and sits at “Mixed”, with most negative reviews targeting poor performance. Maybe let it sit for a bit. Fractured Veil pushed back the EA release till January 18, 2024. Endzone 2 is fully funded- but there’s still time to back it on Kickstarter. Both Icarus and Forever Skies released some chunky content updates.

💙 Diversions

🎵 Music: You’ll thank me later.

‌➡️ Most Used: This is my favorite pen in the entire world. (Lying, though, it’s tied with this one my wife gave me.)

‌📚 Fun Consumption: Reading a favorite series over again!

‌🎮 Game: It’s been a long while since I clicked with a Pokemon game, but I am enjoying Arceus a lot more than I thought I would.
