If you’re new to this type of post: it’s plenty of different topic slices on the plate that usually add up to a full meal (or in this case full length post.) Today we celebrate the streaming show Rake, a live concert I wish I’d been in the crowd for and something something millennials and OnlyFans.
Dracula’s Castle – The Van Helsing awesome renovation hour!
It’s 1986, you’re the vampire lord himself waking up in casa de Dracula’s Castle and aside from an incredible thirst for the red lifeblood stuff, you find yourself incredibly annoyed. That evil bastard Van Helsing has snuck in while you slumbered away for decades and completely renovated your castle!
Obviously it’s time to rip out his throat. Once you figure out the zodiac coin room system between you and him first.
Welcome to the Dracula’s Castle Gamebook from the mid 80s – seriously, why don’t they make books this good anymore?

The overkill budget build PC is go!
The plan: Create a budget build pc for my daughter that she could use to play Roblox and Minecraft on, watch YouTube and in emergencies, actually do some homework with.
