okay brain, as payback for giving me a solid hour of semi-awake panicdoom dreams that i could only tamp down by picturing cartoonishly violent revenge fantasies, i just bought a bunch of leftist "how to resist" books and when they get here i'm gonna make you stop playing Civ a couple nights a week and we're gonna sit and read them and learn how to be better. and THEN once we're healed up we are going to go stickering twice a month with the stuff i just ordered from @municipaladhesives.

Nightmare Mode is a coping mechanism. he is not a real person (yet). he cannot solve our problems. we are the ones we have been waiting for.
