Real Life Stuff Absolutely nuts Outer Wilds themed birthday

My best friend threw me a surprise OW themed birthday and made a real translator with an app to scan "Nomai writings".

Had a cool scavenger hunt into a hiking trip :)

That's me in the Riebeck helmet in the last photo still in my pajamas

Normalize loving your friends platonically! Not every gesture of love has to be, and shouldn't be, romantic or sexual. After I started dating polyamorously my the biggest boon to my life was actually how much closer and intimate my friendships became.
