Have I mentioned how much I love The Sound of Music? Cause like it has got to be one of my favorite musicals. Basic take I know. 😅

Evil Dead SHOULD be played out by this point, and yet 6 movies and 1 tv series in and the franchise is still top to bottom bangers! Evil Dead Burn was GREAT and I'm looking forward to Wrath

Someone called the cyclospora outbreak MAHA Blast and I'm cackling like I'm 13 again.

Getting back on my Physical Media/DVD menu nostalgia. Maybe one day I'll make that shorts series covering the highlights of my collection

marensdasein.neocities.org/critical_ess... New Essay. Gets a bit bloggy at the end but the first half is essayistic enough I'm sticking it there.

Is it normal for a Kingdom Hearts fan to hear Ansem call out "Come Guardian!" in their head? I need to know... for a friend.

Paramedics Praised For Being Too Late To Save Lindsey Graham

feel like taco bell is a scapegoat for a diarrhea outbreak caused by an incompetent government. i guess it could be both. the government. the taco bell. a combination government and taco bell.

It is so dumb that not only is Disclosure Day essentially a remake of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, but it's also worse somehow.

Anyway, Wendy Carlos is still alive and that's wonderful 💜

Finally completed Kingdom Hearts II. Less of an RPG than the first game, and definitely more focused on spectacle. Kinda like Mass Effect 2 when compared to Mass Effect 1

Silent Hill (1999) has been decompiled and has an unofficial PC port. This PC port has options to turn it into a third person shooter. This RUINS the game but it is funny AF.

"Woman software comes in a little glass vial." "A little glass vial?" "A little glass vial." 🎶 *to the tune of Zydrate Anatomy from REPO! The Genetic Opera*

So Sony is sunsetting physical media for its game consoles. Just want to point out I've spent the last month playing a Sony console game on a disk released 21 years ago. Sony thinks this is wrong.

Kingdom Hearts is about 2 things: extreme spectacle and extreme emotions. All other concerns are secondary at best.

Sora IS the Drift King!

Somehow, I've fallen hard for Kingdom Hearts in the past 3 months or so. This has triggered interest in jrpgs broadly. REALLY not beating the "weeb" allegations.

Kingdom Hearts II is a really impressive game. Also, the beginning with Roxas reminded me of I Saw The TV Glow. So that's a thing.

I used to think that I didn't have any regrets, because I was content with my life. Nope! It was because I was mildly dissociating and that felt like contentment. Not dissociating anymore? Here come the regrets!

New Blog Post marensdasein.neocities.org/blog/2026/06...

Well I finished Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. Not beating the "weeb" allegations.

Being single was a lot easier to deal with when I low-key hated myself.

"Getting good" at videogames is overrated. Sure, its fine and dandy if thats what you wanna do, but as a 30 year old...seems pretty childish

The Death of Robin Hood (2026) is very much a modern movie aesthetically, however it feels thematically dated. Like it would have worked better in the '90s

Rewatched Iron Lung (2026) recently. Probably the most interesting thing about it from a filmmaking stand point is how impressionistic it is.

Well hello there consequences of my life choices. Why do you have to suck so much sometimes?

IN THEIR LAST MOMENTS FASCISTS ARE CONFUSED AND SCARED, THE GRIM REALITY OF THEIR OWN MORTALITY PIERCING THE WALLS OF BULLSHIT IDEOLOGY THEY HAVE ERECTED AROUND THEMSELVES

For all its clunkiness, wizards is really important to me. Throughout the film everyone is like "don't worry, avatar will use his magic to make the fascism go away!" And then the movie says nah. Sorry. Fascism has to be killed. It will be brutish and ugly but it must be done.

I lurk in r/DefendingAiArt, it is really not surprising a ton of posts are just pointing at amateur art and saying it's shitty.

I feel like we're experiencing a competency crisis at almost all levels of society.

I find the hero worship "Gamers™" have for Gabe Newell very off putting. He is a business owner not some great savior of gaming. He *will* screw you over for profit.

Strongly suspecting that HRT is making me better at videogames. Couldn't *possibly* be that I'm just more confident and less self-effacing.

I am seriously, no joke, slowly becoming a Luddite.

When will Christopher Nolan direct a Bond movie?

I think AI feels so inhuman because humans evolved to actually *do* things, and not just ideate. Doing is satisfying.

I made this, and pretty self explanatory how bonkers this show really is. Happy friday #rickandmorty #dizzeerascal #bonkers #rickandmortytribute #iloveshleemies #grabmyterryfold www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_lx...

Looks like Neocities is back up!

Wow what a shit show! 🤞 It'll get cleared up soon!

Ah so THATs why this website is down. 🤞 The legal issues can get smoothed over. I have a backup but it's not current 😑 I'd hate to have to rollback and find another webhost.

marensdasein.neocities.org/prose_poetry... A short prose poem I wrote a few days ago. Born from mild frustration and intense joy.

marensdasein.neocities.org/blog/2026/06... New blog post! This one contains a VERY important life update, but if you don't want to read the whole thing here's the important bit: I'm a woman. I'm switching to She/Her pronouns.

Been working on a website update that's effectively complete. No significant content, just a some layout changes and a new background image. New blog post to come tomorrow evening so look out for that. If I can hold myself to it, this update will coincide with a percipitous drop in Bsky engagement.

I need to better organize the backend of my site. It's a *mess* trying to track down a specific day's post. I should make at *least* every year its own folder if not every month.

What would I really lose if I cut off social media engagement entirely and focused my entire online presence on my website.🤔 It's not like my style of post gets a hell of a lot of engagement. I have some thoughts.

Robert Pattinson plays Chris Hanson in a movie about "To Catch a Predator" was not on my bingo card but given... Ya'know... Everything I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

4 years estrogen!!! never give up💙🩷🤍

Being a person is an unending creation. By "being" we are constantly building ourselves out of the tools, and raw materials of our minds and bodies. To be a whole person, one needs to work with curiosity and intention. Planning is essential but so is execution. If you do not "do" you can't "be".
