Look, it wasn’t supposed to be like this. I entered the Oblivion Gate, a plucky young adventurer overflowing with zeal and a desire to prove the nine divines were right to give me a second chance. I channeled the spirit of the dearly-departed Patrick Stewart in a wig. His words, commanding me to CLOSE SHUT THE JAWS OF OBLIVION, they were ringing in the ears attached to my potato-shaped head adorned with a face only a janky mother could love. I was not ready.

Went to Birmingham earlier this week for a thing. Somehow managed to do the best lap of Monaco I've ever done in front of some devs on a racing sim rig with manual gears and only medium traction control on, and then got annihilated at bowling cos it'd turned my arms to jelly
