how do I stop itching?

Last winter it was really dry and cold and my ass cheeks started itching. I, of course, scratched them. I apparently scratched too hard as I developed welts on both ass cheeks. The welts itch and I can't stop scratching because I have no self control apparently.

I use lotion multiple times a day, I've used benadryl itch cream. Nothing seems to work. The itch is greatest after my workout and when I get in the shower. I thought maybe it was water temperature related, but I've gone from hot to cold and still itch like crazy.

I apparently need a cone of shame for my ass.

Anyone faced this before?

Trying to find a song based on a very tiny fragment of memory

There's a song, I think I only heard one time likely on KGON in Portland, OR and likely in the late 70s. This song has haunted me over the years but I have never been able to locate it again.

The one thing I really remember is that there is a spoken-word portion where the vocalist talks about the Boogie Woogie, but pronounces it more like Boozhi Woozhi.

I'm laying in bed quarantined with Covid and once again its memory and my inability to determine what song it was is haunting me.

Favorites Broken on Series X

My favorites broke. They were working great but now they don't work at all. I can't favorite anything there icon sits in the middle of the plus sign and I can't move it to any open slot. Things I had already favorites continue to work, but I can't add new things or swap things out.

I've tried dropping my entire inventory and then picking things back up but that is not resolving there issue. It's not game-breaking but it is frustrating.

BTA 3062

Shortly after my previous post about BEX, my merc company folded due to a lack of funds.

I took the opportunity to install BTA and give it a try. I love the depth, I love the details, but I'm really struggling with the lack of a cohesive art style. I'm finding it pulling me out of my suspension of disbelief.

Has anyone else had that difficulty? Will I outgrow it with time?

Is the video game fair game here? or is it table top only?

If the video game is fair game...

I've been playing BEX, and I suck at it mostly. I always play Ironman, so that entails lots of restarts. I finally have a merc company that has lasted a bit. I've moved up to 2 and 2.5 skull missions.

Needed some money quickly and took a 1.5 skull mission. Comstar showed up, wiped my lance it was the last mission in my current system, I didn't know what I was going to do to not go bankrupt.

Discovered I had Shadowhawk in cold storage sold it, started taking out my "starter" mechs on half-skull and one-skull missions, I'm starting to become a bit more financially solid again and may have survived afterall.
