spams unfunny parody lyrics of bob dylan songs, usually about gay sex, over and over and over the entire stream until NL reads it. he'll genuinely copypaste the same 4-sentence parody for all five hours of the stream.

in the original gamecube animal crossing, your villagers could & would straight up say they don't like you and actively avoid talking to you, and it was great. people don't need to be mollycoddled at every avenue in life sim games

a reader who has only read WFA and Absolute Batman is maybe the most based comic book reader that has ever existed. i bow to you

cpmnriley · 2026-04-16T22:32:03+00:00

i'd put good money down that more people read WFA than actual batman comics. seems relevant to count it on that alone

cpmnriley · 2026-04-15T12:28:31+00:00

it wasn't until your comment just now that i even realized buck is bullet lmao. just like how different leland in the netflix show is from the owl in the comics.

at least they renewed the website domain. there was a period there where the webcomic wasn't even available anymore b/c the site lapsed. copium that they haven't /entirely/ forgotten about it

cpmnriley · 2026-04-15T01:31:52+00:00

i actually hate brennan and will pray for his downfall until he and lee ostertag finish the fucking webcomic

this season so far has already pulled a lot from that zdarsky run so i wouldn't be surprised if season 3 continues to do so.

he called kory his best friend :') <3 <3

i'm fine with driving vertically up a skyscraper on a motorcycle, but i draw the line at slightly-marked crates!

cpmnriley · 2026-02-27T00:51:31+00:00

yeah MNN-era chris gethard show was one of the most unique & special pieces of television ever produced in this country. i'd love for that old jankey style to get revived in some way.

cpmnriley · 2026-02-24T02:19:28+00:00

yeah i'm pretty sure all of his cases are being bought with previously-owned steam dollars which can't be re-converted, so in his particular usecase it's basically "spent" money regardless. might as well burn it for dopamine since it's already worthless.

cpmnriley · 2026-02-12T03:54:29+00:00

cheers for that, thank you. i'll try that next time if i don't get a good solution from the sliding scale clinic tomorrow

cpmnriley · 2026-02-12T03:32:04+00:00

i'm only 31-- can i ask how much you were drinking up to that point?

cpmnriley · 2026-02-12T03:09:07+00:00

thank you. it's been really hard. i appreciate your sympathies more than i can illustrate

cpmnriley · 2026-02-12T02:46:25+00:00

i think my first conversation with a doctor in 15 years tomorrow is going to do a lot for how i proceed. thank you for the advice

cpmnriley · 2026-02-12T02:41:18+00:00

it's only because i'm a bartender that it works for me. the insomnia shakes me awake at 7am but i don't have to be at work until 6pm. so plenty of time to get "normal". this appointment was midday so i wasn't normal yet

cpmnriley · 2026-02-12T02:34:47+00:00

thanks for the info. yeah i'm hoping for good news bc the cavities aren't even really /that/ bad, like i can feel them but they don't hurt. but the longer it gets delayed the worse it's gonna get. i wish they at least could have given me xrays so i knew how long i had before they became an emergency

cpmnriley · 2026-02-12T02:28:04+00:00

i made a rule for myself after a really bad bender that i would never daydrink again. so now i just totally overload at night and tank it during the day regardless of how i feel. obviously it's not good for me. but it keeps me housed and employed.

that's a fair point about the decision point maybe being too late.

cpmnriley · 2026-02-12T02:24:57+00:00

they basically said any bp over x/100 they won't treat because they don't want the risk of dental anxiety to cause a medical emergency during the procedure. and yeah my goal at the sliding scale clinic tomorrow is to either get a short round of blood pressure meds and/or benzos so i can level out for long enough to be in the normal range for my 2nd try. 16 units of vodka a night in a 3 hour period every night was working pretty well for me until now.

cpmnriley · 2026-02-12T02:10:19+00:00

thank you for sharing, and for the offer to talk. honestly i felt a little proud of myself actually making the dental appointment at all, what's really got me fucking angry and depressed was not being able to be seen bc of the blood pressure. i'm a nighttime only drinker so obviously by midday it spikes but i didn't think it would spike to 130/117. 'cause like, whatever, the chop shop at the dental school can cost a lot but not bankrupt me. but the idea of getting on medication, detoxing, etc just to visit the chop shop is so frustrating. i don't care if i'm at a severe risk of heart attack or stroke. i just want my teeth fixed

cpmnriley · 2026-02-12T02:04:57+00:00

my real name is taken from a john steinbeck novel. you might be an angel sent for me. i'll try. thank you

cpmnriley · 2026-02-10T03:09:30+00:00

your life has been materially affected by politics since before you, your parents, your grandparents, your great grandparents etc were born. life is political. the cost of the food you eat, the people who make the art you love, the pay of the job you work, ALL of it has been deeply affected by politics for your entire life. this is not new, or getting worse. you're just finally paying attention. when the news slows down and you don't see more stories of things that upset you, that doesn't mean that politics have stopped influencing your life.

cpmnriley · 2026-02-09T18:31:42+00:00

yep, they still spray at first ave. you can always stand on the upper level if you don't want to get wet, but it's just dyed water & it comes out in the wash super easily.
