I realize I don't get on platforms like Bluesky/Twitter when I'm off work.

For the first I was like what kind of trash is this with misaligned assembly holes. I packed it up and took to UPS for return even though they’d closed.

I got to play a video game today. I’ve been so consumed by adult life that I’ve not touched my controller in 2 months.
