A black cat with big round eyes looks up from the corner of a dark textured background. Above the cat, the text reads: “Hello, human..”.
A small moment of gentleness in the middle of everything. 🐈⬛🤍 (please open the thread)
At my old job, we would often have "Lessons Learned Meetings" where we would go over what went wrong on a project, why it went wrong, and what we can do it to make it better going forward.
Through the past 7-8 years, I've had a few too many of those moments. But we learn, get better, and move on.

Well here we go... this won't be confusing at all.

That said, games in 2026 look so damn good, and so incredibly realistic, that certain things prompt a very visceral, intense physical and emotional reaction. I've seen too much real shit, so certain things are just immediate "look away nope can't do this" moments.
It's an incredible game though.
Watching a Resident Evil: Requiem playthrough from the beginning has been a lot. But I'm curious if it can act as a form of safe exposure therapy. Just gotta get through it.
Yet again paralyzed in bed on a Monday morning. Doesn't matter whether it's a big step or not when even the bare minimum feels impossible.
So another day goes on, tick tick tick until the process repeats or the end comes.
Typing it out, I realize I need to be better. Haven't been better in years.
Sometimes you read or see something in a piece of media, where there's a clear message that's trying to be sent. Such moments can definitely hit with extreme emotional impact.
Then real life gives a whole new perspective on the moment. And it changes everything.
I need to figure this all out.
It’s okay to listen to video game soundtracks every day*

Dusting off the 00s/10s concert DVDs/BluRays.
Cool to go back in time a bit, and feel like I'm right back at the show.
You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.
Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.
I can tell that the therapy and meds have helped things under the hood. Now it's just a matter of trying more things, building more confidence, and getting the most of whatever life I have left (I should really get checked out juuuust in case).
Today is a good day. Actually.
Love when I dread making a phone call and sending an email for an entire week, but once I force myself (because of external pressure) to actually DO it, it goes just fine.
I'm also encouraged by how calm I was during all of it, including when an agent hung up on me because we had a bad connection.
Between the new Pokemon games and a POSSIBLE new Mario game... 2027 will probably be the year that I buy the Switch 2.
I should have my life and finances back in order by then as well. Fingers crossed.
Kansas is doing Nazi stuff to transgender people. This is not about minors having surgery. This is about adults having the most basic civil rights.
‼️ ATTENTION FELLOW S.E.E.S. MEMBERS ‼️
We are assembling to finish the base game of Persona 3 Reload THIS SUNDAY at 1 p.m. EST. Make sure to be on the ground floor of the dorm by then🦋 We have a final mission to undertake
See you then 🫶
Through all the hockey drama of the last couple days, my main takeaway is that I need to watch more PWHL.
The women's Olympic tournament was incredible hockey, especially the final, and it's great to see the support that league has had so far.
(I need to proofread my posts BEFORE sending...)
Trying not to get down on myself. I often feel that I've completely lost hope of turning things around, and might as well be dead to save everyone else the hassle of having to deal with me.
Big picture... it's okay. Change is scary and I have no confidence, but I'll get through it.
Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten
I honestly didn't realize the US men had not won gold in hockey since the famous 1980. Had grown so adjusted to the US women winning gold, I assumed the men snuck one in.
Congrats to them!
Good thing hockey will be banned here in a few years... right?
Holy shit what a game. Nothing else to say.
To steal a quote from a couple days ago... I need a cigarette.
Surely social media discussion of this US v Canada Olympic hockey game will be completely civil, and not the slightest bit toxic.
Got my three hours of sleep and am so ready.
Looking forward to catching up on the shenanigans in a few hours.
Gaming helps people in so many different ways.
When I was in my teens and I was getting bullied relentlessly in school, i always found comfort and joy in gaming.
God bless video games.
I'm apparently preparing for Sunday's early hockey game by sleeping from 7pm-1am on a Friday night. Whoops!
(I'd get up and play something but there's a shadowy, slightly mobile mass preventing me from doing so at the moment)
Fun read about the default names in this game. As a kid, some of these made sense at the time, others were over my head.
I remember trying both the Mode 7 hockey and basketball games shown here. Cool concept but it was easy to get confused and dizzy.
But the original Griffey Baseball game was legendary. Loved playing my Dad in that one, and renaming all the (uniquely-themed) default players to the real MLB names.
I'll need to find some Slovak metal bands for the afternoon matchup.
So will today be a Nightwish day, or an Unleash the Archers day?
(Love me some Olympics with coffee)
Big picture I just need to get out of my own head, and live a good, healthy life.
The combination of the world going to shit and personal change / uncertainty / fear definitely makes things feel hopeless, but there are so many little things (and great people) that help keep me going.
