A little local bookkeeping announcement:

We've defederated from social.byoblu.com for good ol' fashioned white supremacy and aggressive transphobia.

...and my son is checking it out. Erase the I above.

A small bright spot:
My pre-order of Burnout Paradise: Remastered arrived and I my son is checking it out.

today is a good day.

BOOSTIN' MY OWN TOOT TOOT TOOT

Mobile #mastodon clients:

I’ve loved Amaroq for quite a while but it’s not iPadOS native and it feels long in the tooth.

Anyone have recommendations for a new, more modern feeling client that supports iPadOS?

I’d consider #pixelfed support a nice to have but I assume there aren’t any #fediverse clients that directly support it yet.

I also follow FAR TOO MANY Canadian SWers.

I mean it’s not a bad thing but I don’t see myself heading to Toronto or Vancouver anytime soon.

(Still love y’all!)

It’s been so long since we’ve been in a threesome I think we may need a bit of a reintroduction to restore some confidence. Tonia and I are f’n great. She loves strapping on AND loves being the center of attention, it works really well... but yeah.

I know I regularly follow SWers here/on twitter but I’m going to keep my ears/eyes open for someone who does duos and is relatively local.

Time to start setting aside a little at a time!

Hi all... so that was embarrassing. I lost access to the server thanks to a 2FA / Device SNAFU but I'm back!

In other news I’ve found #Stellaris and I’m hooked. I’d kinda love to get a MASSIVE game going if anyone’s interested.

#civ6 players also apply within.

#coronapocalypse2020

Even interacting on social media was tiring... so we’ll see where this goes but I’m optimistic.

months my energy / general will to handle emotional loads has been declining. I can push and do anything for short periods of time but end up paying an energetic cost later, and it was enough to ask my psychiatrist for advice.

I’d already been barely taking any antidepressants (150mg Wellbutrin) so I’ve been shifted to a higher dose (300mg). It’s made a huge difference and while that may balance out over time... I don’t feel like everything requires a ton of energy.

So for almost a year I’ve been adjusting to what I consider an intense dive back into bipolar disorder. After 15 years of coping without medication i slowly ended up at a point with very little short term memory and energy... except for the times I had tons of energy and could take on the world.

FF to a very light combination of mood stabilizers and anti-depressants I was able to find a balance and serious general improvement, but over the last few... (cont.)

I just pre-ordered the Nintendo Switch v.Animal Crossing and...

I suppose I can call myself a gamer again.

I don’t do this often but...
holy shit that’s awesome!
