scrubjayspeaksBy the gods, I made sure I rested this weekend. In fact, I have been feasting on Stephanie Sterling’s YT videos. While I really only have one or two Let’s Play channel I watch, I now have several video essay channels that talk about video games. I will never have the time or budget (or in some cases, inclination) to play all the games that are out there, but I like hearing about interesting thoughts prompted by them.
That being said, Stephanie talked so much about Vampire Survivors, to which she contributed writing, that I felt compelled to check it out. And look at that, there’s a free demo version on itch.io. And ohhh, the full Steam version is on sale right now. And woooo, the bundle with DLCs and the OST is on sale too.
Yeah, so, it’s a very satisfying game. I would never have expected to enjoy bullet hell or really most rogue-lites, as that’s not my usual jam. But the mad cascade of numbers as I become a damage-dealing pinwheel is delightful.
I had my next HRT follow-up. I mentioned that the pharmacy continues periodically to have some kind of brain crisis around providing me with the correct type of syringes and needles, despite doing this every month for two years at this point. Which is how I found out my Planned Parenthood clinic is now offering injection supply packs. I now have everything I need for six months for, as far as I can tell, no cost at all. This is incredibly cool of them. And it makes up somewhat for the fact that the pharmacy also has a brain crisis around honoring all the refills I have on testosterone for no reason that any of us can discern.

Day job: 40.25 hours, with Wednesday short for me
Cleaning: did a little room refresh for the season

Listening: StarX Lover by Dreamer Isioma (new album! Love how many of the artists I listen to released something new for Pride Month)
Playing: Vampire Survivors
Aftermarket Parts: HRT follow-up, the last of the month’s appointments, all good
