  • Get back into playing guitar. It's been about 5-6 years since I've picked up an instrument. Played regularly from 14-28, was even in a band. Ended up selling all my instruments because I was poor.

    Just bought this for $180.

    Gonna get a boss katana 50 and see how it goes

    Also gonna get back into drawing. Haven't drawn since I was a kid. Seems like a fun, calming hobby. Thinking about just doing graphite or pen and paper.


  • Been watching my partner play Metaphor: ReFantazio and it's basically a better version of the Persona games without the forced romance or weird shit that persona games do. It looks like it took all the best elements of those games and improved upon them. The story is pretty good so far 20 hours in. Gameplay is typical persona/jrpg gameplay but I like the choice of either enganging an enemy and transitioning to a turn-based fight, or just wacking it with your sword and keep it moving if you're stronger than the enemy. More rpgs need this.

    I was recently playing Watch Dogs 2, since it was on gamepass and I thought I'd give it a shot. I think the story is pretty cool 3-5 hours in but I also put it down about a week ago and have no desire to pick it back up. The gameplay wasn't really doing it for me. Just kinda felt like a clunkier GTA game with some sci-fi elements. The characters seemed interesting, though.

    Honestly, been looking for a game to really scratch that itch and I haven't found one I really enjoy in a minute. I need to buy a mini pc to play Baldur's Gate 3. Oh, and I'm looking forward to Date Everything because I love goofy shit.


  • Every single day goes by like any other day, a cycle of endless repetition, stuck in samsara

    But yeah, christmas hasn't felt like anything special since I was a kid and honestly I dread it every year. Lots of ptsd from working in retail my entire adult life, or being forced to go to mandatory company holiday parties, to having to spend it with my father-in-law at his mom's house, as he loses his temper over something trvial, yells at his daughter, and causes a scene. Sometimes I get money though, which is cool.





  • luke-warm gaming take: I don't want remakes of anything. Games do not need to be remade. Just make a new game instead. "But this game was so cool it had such unique mechanics and a cool story" Hey, that's great, what if we remade it and gave it the same shitty type of gameplay that all new games have and then condensed the story and got rid of the more interesting parts to make it more appealing to a broader audience? That's what you guys want, right?

    I like clunky controls. I like bad graphics and fixed camera angels. I like bad voice acting or no voice acting. The world does not need anything more advanced than the ps2. If you twist my arm, I'll let you have up to the xbox360 but that's it. We're going back, folks


  • i am a strong believer that if intent and meaning is able to be interpreted from what you write, then structure and delivery or grammar isn't as important. I know a lot of grammer/english nerds will scoff at this but I don't give a shit. My favorite shit is those crazy ramblings or scribbled ideas that are only marginally connected to each other. Like the kind of unstructured ideas jotted down in a notebook with little to no structure. Love that shit.
