Based on how my regulars eye-twitch and trauma-scream at the mere mention of things like "tooth fairies," "yellow fog," or the shout 'Teke-li-li!', I'd guess therapy must not be for everyone.

"Ms. Scint, what's the maximum number of slides we can have?"
"It's a 3-5 minute presentation."
"But, like, how many?"
"99."
"We have 2000; is that okay?"
"Better talk fast."

At 24fps, that’s only 1:38 movie. They need MORE slides, dammit!

I don't know how they get in here and I don't know why they do it, but every time I fall asleep a gang of ruffians bludgeons my body with bars of soap inside tube socks. It's the only plausible explanation.

"We're going to look at a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet now. Here's your worksheet - you'll need to compare and contrast the characters who fill the same role as well as the relevant scenes. Now, this reinvisioning sets it in 1950s New York. Instead of noble houses, we have rival gangs."
"And it's a musical have fun"
"GANGS DON'T DANCE, MS. SCINT."

When mummification goes wrong.
Oh, but this makes my mummified little heart all a-flutter. Way back in the AD&D1e days our characters worshiped the Egyptian Pantheon and that sparked a love of all things ancient Egyptian that persists to this day.

The exact point or use of this exercise is beyond me, other than making things needlessly complicated.
Needlessly?
Or awesomely!
It's a fine line.
Tonight is our group's third session of Pathfinder 2.0. Still meh. One of the guys who moved away asked me how it was going. I replied: "It's everything I expected it to be."
*shrug*
I dunno. We'll see. Maybe it'll get interesting. Maybe I'll find something else to do with my Monday evenings. I hear curling's fun. I own a broom. Though we don't get much ice round here...
When mummification goes wrong.
Neat.
On a related note, I've been slowly working on a D&D theory of personhood based on the Egyptian concept of the body/soul, including its various parts. Undead are various parts of the whole.
I'm extremely interested in this idea.

Is there a link or is it somehow tied in to your Spotify Playlist?
It's an RPG setting (might be a standalone game, but I think it uses 'Into The Odd') - here 'tis
Nothing to do with my Spotify playlist, but if you want that, maybe we can do a swap?

If that were a d20 based system I house-ruled a simple chase/race mechanic. Rather than use the official rules, which seemed cumbersome and slow to resolve, I just divide a character or creature's move by 5 and then use the result as a modifier to a d20 roll. Then it's just opposed rolls between those involved in the chase or race. It works the same for standard move speeds all the way up to running or sprinting.
I've got the playlist already and my whole account is set to public so I'll link it here. Feel free to peruse away (This goes for anyone who wants to see it).

WOOOOOOHAAAAAAAA!!!! I'm going to see one of my favorite bands for the first time ever tonight! W.A.S.P.!! They had to cancel last year but they made good on their promise to reschedule and they and Armored Saint are bringing the thunder tonight! I will be there in the handicapped seating area banging my head, but not enough to hurt later. I'm old and have learned a thing or two finally.
I'm very excited.

Me: I'll give you 10 minutes to finalize your notes, and then we'll start the discussion.
