Funny story: yesterday, while I was getting prepped for surgery, the anesthesiologist told me that I should avoid driving, operating heavy machinery, and impulse buys. My wife, who knows me very, very well, said, That means no Kickstarters, hon. I laughed and agreed.
GUESS WHAT DROPPED YESTERDAY?
So I wake up, check my mail, then carefully go down multiple flights of stairs until I find my wife. She looks at me, visibly wondering why I’m downstairs when I should be in bed, and I go, Hey, remember when we agreed no Kickstarters? Well, DELTA GREEN: THE CONSPIRACY just dropped… and then she interrupted me to say, Well obviously that’s different. Of course you’re going to get that; it’s one of your favorite games.
Which I have, at the $40 level. Sure, I want the $300 level, but discretionary income is getting a little tight these days. If it’s a choice between this and getting out another chapbook, obviously I have to get another chapbook out. I need to have that stuff available.

Far be it from me to advocate treachery, but as a rule, Moe, you shouldn’t feel obligated to honor promises you made while under duress or in a reduced mental state due to anesthetics or medically proffered potions. And even if you were stone sober while making said promise….medically drugged Moe is not responsible for any actions he undertakes, even if sober Moe benefits.
So if you haven’t already, order the book before your prescription runs out. 😉
Nah, this limited austerity program predates that. 🙂 Besides, I did pick up it at $40, so the worst-case scenario is I pick up the other stuff as they come out.
I feel like this is a case study in both life and relationship goals.
