Chapter:
Characters:

I’m out of room on my shelf and there are still pre-ordered games coming in the mail. I need to stop watching boardgame reviews, that’s what gets me. I can read a review and not care, but seeing it in motion tricks my brain. As is, seeds that will sprout sooner or later have already been planted. Of course I need to buy a sequel to two games I’ve barely started. And an expansion to a game I’ve only half played once? Immediate purchase. When will these even get played this year?

I’m late

Chapter:
Characters:

My wife has succumbed to the to the spooky season early for once. Dilly and I are ready on July 5th so we normally compromise with decorations starting September 1st. This year however a new piece comes out from the closet every weekend. It’s time for scary ask reddit threads and horror movies. Tomorrow will be “In the Mouth of Madness”, it straddles the line between summer and fall movies for me.

Thanks Metal Storm

Chapter:

Hear is an odd phobia for you. My absolute favorite NES game was Metal Storm. It had this amazing little robot that could flip gravity as it ran and blasted its way through,…what ever the story was, I honestly have no idea. The more I played the more I thought about what would happen if it happened for real. Well one thing lead to another and now I automatically imagine gravity flipping if I look up for too long and immediately need something to hold on to. Sometimes I do it to myself for laugh at the absurdity.

Does a fear of reverse heights have a name?

Birfday.

Chapter:
Characters:

I have a son. I’ve felt guilty he’s not in here but my son was not born when this idea was started an as he’s developed a personality I’ve folded him into Mr. Owl. I’m just acknowledging it here so in the future he know’s I wasn’t ignoring him.

Irony.

Chapter:
Characters:

I did not feel like doing anymore work today when I sat down. This will be my first weekend even sort of off in 3 weeks so my brain has shut down. In shutting down my brain still took the same length of time to get this one done as if I’d done a more elaborate one. The feeling is still correct.

Out of gas

Chapter:
Characters:

After 23 days the crunch is done, I feel bad for game developers doing that all the time. Since I haven’t had a day off in so long, my brain keeps thinking its friday. That makes it very hard to be motivated on what should be a day off. I’m going to step away from my computer and read one of the unread books that are collecting dust on the shelf.

It’s all ricked.

Chapter:
Characters:

I sat down to draw and realized I couldn’t. Not that I didn’t want to, but I was to befuddled. Even writing this has been a practice in typing a sentence and deleting it because the mood of the moment has changed. There’s probably a long german word for the experience of exasperating exercises in poor decision making and the hilariously terrifying selfishness that,………. I don’t even know how to finish this thought. Every day is somehow worse than before. There had better be the mother of all black comedies at the end of this mess that is somehow more believable than living through it.

2020. It’s all ricked.
