    See, things didn’t start with Reddit or even with Usenet. This kind of stuff has always been with us, it just gets easier to see as tech progresses.

    I’ll be whoopee. My partner and I have been very lax on that (depression?) but we plan to get all fucked up on drugs and get nasty. Stupid holidays.

    Samesies. Gonna pull a submarine until January, nothing but art and zaza.

        In terms of “content,” most certainly! Both aspects!:))

        In terms of activity, I’ve been looking forward to some alone time for a couple of years now, so it’s perfection incarnate.

        If this was a reference, I missed it completely!=))

        Playing vidya, continuing to write my cyberpunk-y D&D campaign/epic (which will most likely devolve into something completely different 30 minutes into actually playing it, but it is what it is!:)) )

        That, and I REALLY need to practice playing the bass, get back in the groove.
