I just caught up, having read all of this since yesterday evening. Great job crafting a funny narrative with some real investment in the characters.

So I started my first game of EW last night (normal :shobon:

) and I pulled the first terror mission 1 day before I got beam weapons. We'll see how that goes!

There's a reason they don't land in Australia much.

Australia already has native chryssalids?

Also also: Heads up: HAVING SURGERY NEXT MONDAY.

So I'll be out of it that day and not in good shape most of the rest of the week. I'll have work off but how much LP I'll do will depend on how good I feel. But I'll try to give you guys a few more updates between now and then.

hope all goes well, man

Sorry for prying but... what kind of surgery?
Just so that we can get an idea of how risky it is. Eg, is it like getting your appendix removed, or is it closer to having shrapnel removed from your lungs?

Air in abdomen found in cat scan. Might be the cause of it all.

I originally misread this as cat in abdomen

drat, look at Speedball taking on race and gender issues and loving owning it.

IMO, nihilism is for lazy bums who don't want to care about anything. It's much easier to not give a poo poo than to care and have to deal with the baggage that comes with it. But what's the point of living if not to care about things?

to shoot them and to make them explode into piles of weapon fragments

It's fine, this may give me another page onto which to put today's update (it's a long one!).

Doing my part! Looking forward to the update.

Uh, so this is probably kind of personal, but might I please ask what current events have gotten you depressed? You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I'm just curious and think that if we knew what is getting you down, it would be easier for us to re-assure you, or whatever. Again, you don't have to say if you don't want to, and I'm sorry if I'm overstepping my boundaries.

Regardless, we will be here for you if you need a place to vent or whatever.
