Idk if you’re into wrestling games but they’ve got some pretty fucking naners ones on Steam. But people like you always keep me alive. Cause legitimately I never had a personal direct interest in wrestling, but growing up my folks who did always kept me in the know. And you guys have so much passion it gives me life. I’ve seen a couple of gigs and it’s always super entertaining. I’ve pretty much got one guy left in the life and his joy is contagious. Only catch is I don’t understand a damn thing about the game anymore. Simple example is I have absolutely no clue who Chuck Taylor is (I was like - shoes?) BUT! You’re so jazzed and I dig that.

I'm not huge on playing the games but I love watching people play through them! Fire Pro is fucking bonkers.

I really appreciate it :) My coworkers mostly think it's adorable but childish (even the ones who love wrestling), but when I can get really into telling wrestling stories it's so satisfying and fun~! For example, if you really want to understand one of the current catchphrases in AEW, you literally have to start with a ring name from 20 years ago.

Rabbits are incredible! I can’t have them, because my lovelies sustain off of them =_o!! Their paws are wonderful though, I agree. As are the paws of chinchillas. Not the same, but the only other creature I can think of that is int he same boat. Not sure if you’re into camp and absolute goofy horror but they made a horror movie with cutie bunnies called Night of the Lepus.

What are your 'lovelies'? I love hearing about pets!!

And thank you for the recommendation! I think I have this on my steam list to play, so I'll have to check it out!

Hahahaha, Fire Pro is absolfreakinlutely bonkers =P! I thought you'd love it. I play a very slim set of games, but I was talking with my mother the other day and was talking about how many have eluded me as a whole. I am not entirely sure when the divide was, but I can't play a majority of what's out there nowadays =P! I figured I would toss you Curious Expedition in case you were in the spirit for a simple rogue-like.

One of my favorite music videos by the by Modern Jesus which I like to think of as a real tribute to Americana - has a backyard wrestling bit in it. It's all of two seconds long, but it really captures the insanity of that type of wrestling. My one buddy is hooked in with three former wrestlers who started a podcast. They seem like real dope dudes, but they're on the other side of the country, so I don't know them personally or anything like that. But I still dig folks like you as I said before, you guys give me life =)

My lovelies are ferrets, and they are destroyer of worlds. And by worlds, I mean other cute things that look or feel similar to them. I've got a gal who's all white and I swear she might be the softest thing in this world. I know you'll fight me on that, because rabbits are freakin' soft too. But I often hold her and think - I am not sure what is more luxurious in this world than holding this soft warm loving cloud baby. She really zens out my heart. I love pets =P!

The game goes super cheap, but if you ever want to play together or something I can dm you my steam name and we can have a go at it. You'll probably kick my ass, because it seems no matter how long I play a game - I still suck like it's day 1 =P!

Either way all the best =)
