So last night our family dog passed away. Ponyo. She was 13, so was basically near the end of her life, but still, it was all so sudden... W… moree expected more of a sign, or gradual decline, but... that was not to be.
It's... gonna be weird, and sad for a while I'm sure. I'm mostly afraid of how this might affect me today, this week, next month, etc. Not sure if I should inform my manager at work about this just in case, but that probably seems wise?
I think it still hasn't fully hit me yet because I'm still in shock about the whole thing. It all just unfolded so fast.
She was perfectly fine yesterday morning. By sheer coincidence, my sister is back in town this week to visit a friend/loiter around the Taylor Swift venue if she can get a ticket. So she was happy to see her, and the whole family was here to comfort her in her final moments...
After her walk yesterday before dinner, she stayed outside as usual. But when it came time to b… [view original content]

Thanks guys. Just trying to take it one day at a time. It's mostly really strange since my brain keeps expecting to see her lounging around the house, but... no...
Today I worked, but only for 4.5 hours (just half of my scheduled shift). Everything was a little too overwhelming with how busy it was and my emotional state keeps thinking of Ponyo. It was tough to hold back tears once or twice today...

I'm really sorry Chicken. It ain't easy. Losing a pet, as one as beloved as Ponyo, hurts. I remember when my cat Percy died. We had her for 17 years. We came back home for Thanksgiving and she greets us. My dog came up and saw hi to her (they loved each other) and then within moments she was on the ground and shaking and then was gone. We didn't have enough time to get a towel to wrap her and take her to the vet. Heart attack, we figured. But she waited for us. We were gone for days, and she waited for us to die in our presence. That's how my mother described it, and it always stuck with me. We were petting her freshly-departed corpse, and my mother was just saying "Thanks for waiting" in a sweet way. I am glad we were with her at the end. I would have been devastated if she had died alone without us, us finding her body after the fact. We buried her in the backyard. It was many years ago, but I miss her still. It hurts.

Hey Chicken, I know losing pets is hard. I still think about the bird I had named Quincy that passed away years ago. It’s hard to describe to someone who hasn’t owned pets or hasn’t thought much about them. I’m sorry for your loss and may your dog rest in peace.

I think I'm probably going to skip watching the game awards this year. The main reason I've even been watching them live for the last few years has been for Wolf 2, and the way I see it if it shows up I'll probably find out not long after it happens anyway. I think I've finally grown too tired of the 3 hour advertisement show. So unless Telltale just says go watch it, I don't think I'll watch this time.
Plus if I don't watch it'll 100% be there, so you're welcome everyone. That or we finally get that 2025 "delay" update, let's go!
Thank you for your sacrifice poogs, I'm hoping this finally manifests it into existence, again (again) 😢🙏
Oh yeah happy 12th anniversary of TWD S1 Episode 5 btw! #LeeForever
(I've been thinking I might play the delisted "Collection" version of TWD, since it was marketed a ton that they improved visuals and character models for TWDS1... -- It was a pre-order bonus for TWD S4 that I never checked out heh... yet!

So... someone at Square Enix or Deck Nine might be in big trouble for abusing a copyright law, because Max/Chloe shippers are having their posts taken down on reddit for criticizing the omission of Chloe from the new DE game...
What, how can you abandon us, 3 hours of ads and approximately 17.9 minutes of games and that's suddenly not good enough? You have better uses of your time? Nonsense! Now come and watch the Swedish chef had an awkward skit with Geoff Keighley and hear references to memes that went out of touch 8 months ago.

I mean who doesn't like seeing 3 minutes of Anthony Mackie playfully yelling something unintelligible at the audience that the mics barely pick up, while also presenting an award at the same time?!
[This Chicken will most likely still watch the awards, because he is a fool that hopes the structure will change this year... also ngl he also likes some of the announcements... 😓]

Geoff: That's right, folks! The Wolf Among Us 2, episode 1, the 4 hour premiere of a 6 episode series is available 2 weeks early for EVERYONE for FREE if you download it RIGHT NOW in the next 3 hours! Trust me, you do not want to miss out! Can the game awards get any better than this? I don't think so!

Haha, great news, Geoff! Thank you to our sponsor, Door Dash! And remember: Use code "DOORDASHTGA" if you need to satiate your lycanthropic appetite!
Now, to speed-run the following awards categories...
