Antillus “Tide” Stratford

The dude of the two HVAC people has been trying to get me to divulge when I’m leaving today. He’s sneaky, but it ain’t the bear’s first rodeo.

RACCOIN AND TANUKI: PON’S SUMMER (bmx delivery game) ARE BOTH COMING TO SWITCH 2 ON NOVEMBER 11TH?!?!? HECK TO THE FREAKING YES!!! RISE OF THE RINGTAILS!!!

Hmmm… my Feeshy sense is tingling. “HVAC people” just showed up at my client’s house… they’re wearing nothing showing they’re HVAC technicians. Homeowners are gone. When they got here, they started asking me weird questions about vulnerabilities and weak points. Oh, also, they’re driving a freaking ambulance. For further context, the homeowners are quite literally loaded… massive second home in a nice area. And their first home is in one of the ritzy suburbs of Atlanta. So this is a prime target for some shady stuff.

Been watching this in real time… especially with the sheer amount of men whom are being laid off. It’s sobering.

If they announce the Switch 2 update for Tunic or the Tanuki BMX bike delivery game in tomorrow’s Indie Direct, I’ll lose my mind in the best way possible.

OC idea unlocked.

Nothing like getting to a job site and you find out the homeowner decided to “help” when you weren’t there… And so they clean up and throw out your sawhorses because they thought they were trash.

Whoops… my hand slipped. Histories of Earthenhymn. A four part series chronicling the unlikely friendship between a veteran of the Bridger corps and the exiled Barkfather, the heir to the long empty Willowed Throne. Their connection sets in motion a series of events that forever alters the paths and truths of Ayos. Vol. I… coming 2027.

Seeing the Switch 2 leaks/dumps is ironic. People generally claim they do such things to preserve games. Not saying those folks don’t exist… but most of what I’m seeing right now is people celebrating being able to steal current games and trying to expose the development secrets of future projects. How is that even justifiable? If you do or support pirating current games, even to “stick it” to Nintendo, you have no legs to stand on when you cry about improving the gaming community, industry, or the proper valuation of games and the skills of those who work hard to craft such things. You’re simply selfish and entitled. It’s pathetic and sad really. Support creatives and their works meaningfully and ethically.

Putting in some work on my work before I actually go to work. HoE logo may be dropping tomorrow… I hope!

Which one of you turkeys got Switch Sports Resort, too??? I NEED TO BUST YOUR BALLS. In an aerial dogfight, of course. >-<

Y’know… maybe going on a hunting expedition with my lean-mean, marine, machine break-neck pacing making boss when I haven’t gotten full respiratory function back from this dadgum cold was not my best idea. lol Probably doesn’t help that I’m carrying 25+ pounds of gear so he can take a shot if we see a deer. What doesn’t kill you, right? XD

Do not fear change. For those whom do never change. And if you do not change, you do not grow. And if you do not grow, you will die. Art by infernaledge

Not gonna lie. Was struggling with some significant depression last night. Saw stuff that made me wish I had what I saw… a spouse, family, home, etc. and it got me questioning my life. But as I was laying in bed wrestling with those thoughts, I decided to reorder them. Rather than dwell on the good things I didn’t have… I thought about the good things I do have. After tossing and turning for over an hour, and listening to Yotes screm, I nearly fell asleep immediately when I started cataloguing the good gifts in my life. Some of the best sleep I’ve had in a while. My life isn’t perfect, don’t get me wrong. A lot could be better. But that’s okay. The few things that are good I don’t deserve, but it makes me cherish and thank God for them all the more.

CAN THE FREAKING YOTES OUTSIDE DO ME A FAVOUR AND STOP BEING ANNOYING HOES?!? I’m trying to sleep and you’re sitting here yipping and yapping until the yopping has spread to all the dogs in the area. Rude!!

Goodnight, y’all! Early bed for me because I’m getting up at the crack of dawn to do something I’ve wanted to do for years. I’m going hunting. Trading the Feesh for Durr this time.

Here’s the dream. Names changed for privacy… One of my best friends, Mossclaw, took his wife and kids on a cruise to Europe. I went along to help with the kids. But one day on the cruise, the kids, his wife (Aira), and myself all begin to realise we’ve been noticing weird things about him over the past week of the cruise, but we can’t think of what it is that’s off until we stop having any singular conversation with him. It’s weird. So we begin to watch Mossclaw closely. We’re all convinced that there’s a doppelgänger of him on the ship. One that’s either trying to mess with us or, the craziest idea we’ve had, he’s been replaced. After one conversation with him, it hits me what’s different about him this time, and I ask myself, “when did Mossclaw shave his head and become a bodybuilder??” So I run to find everyone else as he walks off the ship. I find his oldest child, and begin to explain that this impersonator of him has a shaved head and is basically a fitness nut, and so I go to the window and point out to their oldest that Bodybuilding-Mossclaw is standing on the shore flexing and talking about health and food stuff. Their eyes get wide and they tell me they just saw Mossclaw a floor or two down in the hallway. We both dash down the stairs and run into him… but now with a pompadour and wearing some very groovy 70’s clothing. After that brief but weird conversation, filled with lots of funky words he never normally uses, Groovy-Mossclaw walks off, and the oldest child and I sit there deeply confused. Aira soon joins us with the rest of their kids, a puzzled but pleased look on her face. She says she didn’t realise Mossclaw was into golf, and saw that he was decked out in golfing attire, but figured it was for our Scottish leg of the trip. She was ecstatic he was enjoying the European trip so much that he’d get dressed up as such. Hearing that, the oldest child and I share what we both saw, and the idea is thrown out that Mossclaw is secretly swapping wardrobes to prank us… because he’s naturally mischievous. So we all dash to the hallway to find Groovy-Mossclaw and prove this theory by ripping off the disguise. Well… to our horror and shock, as we find Groovy-Mossclaw walking through a door away from us… Guess who comes walking out the door at the same time towards us? Mariachi-Mossclaw. As we shout his name, realising there’s now proof there’s someone impersonating him, both Mariachi and Groovy turn around and smile as if they are the original Mossclaw. It dawns on us the ship is filled with alternate Mossclaws. Then I woke up.
