I'm feeling very chatty and just rambling in various Discord servers and thinking, god, how do people make friends. Who could I ramble about this TO, because surely the people in the ttrpg servers also talk about these things? But not in the server? How do you bridge the gap!

One day I will watch this show.

My MacBook Air (the fucked-up one I spilled coffee on and have to use an external keyboard & mouse with and keep plugged in at all times and reinstall the OS every time it switches off) is now not sending sound through my headphone jack, just when I got used to having a headset where I sound better.

Every few years people re-discover that a lot of romance novels are smut and get really shocked that a lot of women like pornagraphy. Like yes. Some adult humans like erotica. The horror of it all.

God, I love a good [videogame] methodical chain of assassinations in a camp/fort/what have you. I don't even have arrows in this one yet. I have throwing knives but way too few of them. I know this sounds sociopathic but it is so soothing and I feel so present and so competent.

Having a sad today. Just feeling lonely and unloved and stuff. Sister shit.

Starting Assassin's Creed: Mirage. They just throw you in the deep end immediately in this one, don't they. That first bit of parkour was not unlike the catch-the-piece-of-paper challenges in Valhalla. We are also thieving right away. Very good.

For nerd reasons, that [Hollow Knight] Radiance fight took: 117 attempts 29 made it to phase 3 6 made it to phase 4 (2 made it to the very top) 3 days 85 of those attempts took roughly 4 and a half hours (4-5:30 pm, 7-10 pm) Is this normal? I have no idea. But it amuses me.

Ahhhh got one ending of Hollow Knight and am already sad. I hope the other one makes me feel fewer feelings (unlikely). Though I guess if I beat the Radiance whatever I feel will be mixed in with relief and triumph. It won't be as overwhelming as what I felt when I got through White Palace though.

My mom took something last night and is still asleep at 10 pm. Beautiful. Sister got up around the time my game ended and I decided to take a nap and she's gone out now, at least. I had another game now but it was postponed and I was tired and sad so I just lay down with Ciri.

My mom wants to wait until it stops raining to go run errands and I'm afraid it's a) not going to stop raining and b) gonna make her fall asleep.

I feel like such an awful cat parent every time I tell Gorgug not to jump onto my lap, but he makes me so goddamn sleepy every time he naps on me.

Painted my nails black. Got the Void Heart. Am on death #3 to the Radiance. This is going to take a long time.

Knew I'd end up napping if I ate lunch and I did and now my executives are dysfunctioning. Couldn't get myself to iron; in the end I managed one (1) shirt for tomorrow, and then quit because ironing on a blanket was terrible and I'm changing my sheets tomorrow so I can iron on there instead.

10 years ago this week, I started work on Tunic. The game wouldn't have been the success it was without LGBTQ+ folks, both devs and players. So, I'm matching donations to Trans Lifeline. If you can spare $5 (or more!) reply with your donation and I'll X2 it. Thank you! 💕 give.translifeline.org

I'm not allowed to nap today because it will ruin my 9 pm game for myself, but the temptation is so, so very strong. Everyone's either asleep (sister) or in bed (mom), Gorgug is on my bed and Ciri curled up in my lap and it's making me so sleepy.

First espresso in god knows how long! It was Good. Oh my god, the smell. I have hearts in my eyes and also my nostrils. I fully spilled coffee everywhere opening the pressurized can, because of course I did, but whatever. I think next time I'm just using the two-espresso filter, both for me.

My sister decided to get up earlyish for once and shower before me and it's thrown my entire day off-kilter.

I think, unfortunately, my game and the espresso machine and the nap I took with my cats because they looked so cozy have KO'd me and all I'm going to do for the rest of the day is watch people play Clocktower.

The new jeans I ordered that are one of the guest brands Springfield carries but not actually Springfield are... the thin kind. Which I'm not super into, but these are weirdly nice texture-wise. Just not warm for winter. I'm keeping them though. But not ordering Only jeans again.
