In no particular order… “Babel” & “Yellowface” by R.F. Kuang “House in the Cerulean Sea” & “Somewhere Beyond the Sea” by T.J. Klune Both “Monk and Robot” books by Becky Chambers “The Shining” by Stephen King All of “Mistborn” & “The Stormlight Archive” by Brandon Sanderson

Realized I didn’t preorder FF Tactics yet, and maybe against my better judgement, I got it physically on Switch as opposed to physically on Playstation…I don’t wanna use my PS5 much these days so the uniformity of my FF shelf will just have to suffer 😅

Hell yeah! Mediocre till you get to know me and I get several updates! lmfao

Hollow Knight. When I played through it the first time, I had just moved across many states, knowing practically no one aside from my partner. Covid also just hit. Lots of feeling isolated and fear, I associate my many negative feelings during that time with Hollow Knight.

Some big conversations and self reflection tonight. A lot of feelings around being unheard, ignored, unworthy, inadequate. Aside from maybe one or two folks in my life currently, it’s a feeling I get from a lot from many people. It’s not great. Feeling rather alone right now. Not sure what to do.

It’s funny. The job itself that I do isn’t stressful. In fact it’s pretty chill. It’s a lot of work, but I manage it. It’s fine. It’s the coworkers stressing out about the mountain of work that’s really rattling my vibe. Can’t even focus on other things because the constant pinging from them.

Checking the news every morning like

I guess the mundanity of work has to be shaken up on occasion. Today has been so stressful and it’s not looking like I will get a reprieve till next Wednesday @.@

Welp, I cancelled my XIV sub. Still got a few months on it before it expires so I can still do the MH content when that drops and still hang with peeps occasionally. Maybe I’ll feel differently when the time expires, but with life and everything going on, my much needed break from the game is here.

Love that tracking my sleep got better with this new update, but also don’t love how little I’m apparently sleeping. Going to bed late but still waking up naturally in the morning is rough.

You ever hear a word or phrase & instantly think of a quote that’s irrelevant or uninteresting that it makes no sense to say it out loud? Anytime I hear or read “last call” I think of the flight attendant from The Fifth Element. “Last call to Fhloston Paradise! Hurry up!” Like why who cares lmao

Me when I'm trying to enjoy my leisure time but I also have depression

This has been my explanation every time someone asks why I bothered buying a Switch 2 at launch. You think prices are really going to drop any time soon?

I’m so unbelievably excited to see what folks will do with housing.

A lot of older games honestly. Mega Man 2-6 & 9. X. Resident Evil 1 remake. Final Fantasy I (GBA version or newer) Castlevania 1 Tomb Raider 1 (a more recent addition) WoW too obviously, along with FFXI & FFXIV. A simple answer is my comfort games are my favorite games growing up more or less.

I’ve got several characters at 80 but do I remember how to play any of them? Nope! May as well just make a new one and relearn the class.

Who were the ones who suggested a bluesky blackout??

i'm gonna be so real, y'all, no amount of dogshit changes will drive me back to twitter. nazi site that directly funds nazis... have some self respect. if they ban me here for posting dark shit, i'm just gonna keep making accounts like the world's most annoying cockroach

Actually horrific

New Apple Watch came in today. I thought I wouldn’t really notice the size difference between my old one and the new. Going from 44mm to 46mm but wow it’s a massive difference. Also practically no bezel is so nice Oh I got the pride watch band included with it so now everyone will know I’m a huge fa

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

gif of the last movie you watched

Finally free from work and my night sadly plans got cut, buuut that frees up time to play WoW which honestly it’s been so nice to be so excited to play a game as of late. I’m like, itching to get home haha

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

Daniel Greene uploaded an ELEVEN HOUR VIDEO summarizing all the Wheel of Time books. I took a long break from those books after book 11 and I’ve been trepidatious about going back to them, worried I’d forgotten too much. Here’s Daniel to save the day though! Ugh I’m so happy right now haha.

Been watching a lot of YouTube vids on WoW and it’s really funny to see a lot of folks not enjoy some dungeons that I enjoy a lot haha. Again coming off of XIV and the very formulaic dungeons there, going to WoW and flying around in the Dawnbreaker dungeon is so refreshing for example! It’s nice 😅

Since the topic has been broached, I'd say it's past due for me to do a proper thread on queer representation in WoW. More specifically, how it is... lacking, to put it nicely, in The War Within. 🧵

It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do

Coworkers found out about K Pop Demon Hunters today. Shocked at how popular it is. So obviously the convo devolved to how Netflix is brainwashing adults with children’s TV. Time to turn on noise canceling on my AirPods~

I had to make my mouse pointer larger and enable it to have a trail so I can find it easier to find on my work computer. I kept losing my stupid cursor. Am I getting old? lmfao

Having the urge to read is wonderful but boy howdy I wish the urge would occur when I didn’t have to sleep/when I’m sleepy already lmao

Look. All I’m saying is we hike up a mountain together during the fall season. We find a lovely spot that over looks a valley, lay a blanket down and cuddle while we watch the sun set and trees sway in the wind till there’s nothing but the moon and stars covering the sky.

Apparently this is false, the article that cites this information was translated from a Korean article that doesn’t mention ChatGPT at all. The song was also written 8 years ago. I think Sherwin Wu just lied to try and drum up excitement using a popular thing

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky

That Fourteen brain thinking Weekly Reset for WoW was like at 4am or some shit. It isn’t till 10am. I’m in the office today I can’t see if my vault will finally give me shoulders till this evening

Laying in bed wondering if I made a mistake making my paladin a Tauren because I forgot their heads technically don’t sit on their shoulders so any helmet on them looks so odd to me floating out in front of the rest the armor. 😩

It’s soon to be that time of year where the leaves change and which means I get to use one of my favorite commissions I’ve gotten as a profile pic.

Finally watched the Midnight Cinematic trailer and man...Like it's neat haha. Coming off of The War Within trailer though, man...I don't have the same excitement! I'm still excited for the expansion truly, but wooo man TWW trailer is /sooo/ good! Like ooo man

Today's been playing catch up with work from Thursday and Friday. Half a days effort so far and not even a dent made...I need a nap.

Not only is it #ShirtlessWoLSunday today, but it’s the fourteenth! WoL/Selfie day too! Go figure!

I think my new favorite subreddit is r/shittymoviedetails. I’m laughing way too hard at many of these posts.

I’ve never read a Marvel or DC comic before. Only ever partook in the things based off them. Movies, shows, games, etc. I’m reading Green Lantern right now and I gotta say, this is so fucking cool. I’m sad I didn’t read this much sooner in life. Now I feel like I’ve missed out on so much.

What the hell am I supposed to use this Level 80 boost for a character when I have most, if not all Classes, at or pretty close to 80? I wanna use it but like...on fuckin' what? lmao

I had a discussion with friends and the AI topic came on and they asked me: "What could you do that an AI would never be able to do as good as yourself?" I told them I can animate a big crocodile man with pecs bouncing and big nipples. I then showed them this gif and they went "AI could never 👀👀"

Apologies that I’ve not been posting a lot of gposes and such. I’ve been having a lot more fun with other games as of late. Well, game. Lowkey ready to unsub if not for raid and very good pals. But I plan to bank some screenshots to share. I just gotta find the time to do it 😅
