taking time out of being depressed and upset to do some self-appreciation (cw: selfies/eye-contact)

I was gonna make a last minute plea for people to buy me the Leisure Suit Larry source code so I can archive it in the most interactive way... but the auctions are gone!!

an epidemic of unclaimed death surrounding a fancy boutique in my apparently snowy film-noir town
