the start of a tumblr post by three eyed hare mp3 first day in the time loop it is not a loop yet. i go about my day and its a pretty good day and when i make my evening cup of tea i wish all days were like this second day in the time loop and in the moment before waking i have a dream about something i have to do tomorrow. i do not realise i will never get to do it. third day in the time loop i get hit with a wave of deja vu sitting in traffic. i am bored of the songs on the radio.

Introduction Begin Again gives us unassigned assigned seats, recognizable laughter from next door, gossip that haunts your tenure, years-long grudges, the swift yet brutally slow passing of time, and the voices of everyone you know asking “So, what’s next?” In Begin Again, you play as a group of college students staring down the ticking clock, frozen on the precipice of a world they’re scared to face. It is a waiting game where you can wait no longer. It is grappling with the reflection looking back at you. It is hating the place you’re inextricably tethered to.
the cover of the FOOD FIGHT! minizine. there is a drawing of a salami fighter and a cheese fighter facing off with chopstick swords. the text beneath it says "FOOD FIGHT! is a quick-play fighting game for two players. each player drafts a party of FOOD FIGHTers, then they face off in combat."
a graphic depicting the art of barclay travis, including the following, left to right: a full-body reference drawing of a white man with black and gray hair; a drawing of a red tiefling woman, rolling out dough, from dan walter's "StoryBake"; a drawing of andhera and binx from d20's "a court of fey and flowers" that imitates the famous picture of one woman doing another woman's makeup while straddling her on a bed; a black and white drawing of an attractive spy giving the audience eyes, a shirt slung over their shoulder; a self-portrait of barclay looking bug-eyed; a sticker of frog and toad labeled "it's SPRING!"; a cool-toned portrait of a teenage boy dressed as a mage, glaring at the camera; a black and white drawing of flowers coming out of a suitcase, drawn to look like a carving or print, done for luke jordan's "heaven in the dust".

It is a waiting game where you can wait no longer. It is grappling with the reflection looking back at you. It follows a group of undergraduate students in a small town who– for whatever reason plagues them– are terrified to leave this place.
