a strange crow. 🔪

i did play and beat re: requiem this past weekend and man, i loved it. it's right up there with re4r for me, though it has also inspired me to go back and maybe get to finishing some of the other games in the franchise this year.

maybe this is the year i finally finish a few more of them.

life has been a lot of health stuff in the past year or so, but in the past month there's been more going on and i kinda forgot to exist on here.

saw iron lung with a couple friends last night + i'll say it was genuinely impressive. the cinematography was so dang good, imho. i'm also happy to support what this means for indie film making.

i'm hella proud of mark for this + look forward to seeing other projects he explores in the future.

… had an irregular ekg during my yearly physical and bloodwork did explain it so i am being referred to a cardiologist… ngl, a bit nervous.

ngl, i knew the pitt fandom would be immediately insufferable with the s2 premiere.

biggest goals for this year: get a new job, read more books and make better dietary choices.

i hope you all had wonderful holidays whatever it is that you celebrate, and that you had a happy/safe new year's... here's hoping that this year isn't ass.

the hate and discourse of e33 sweeping the game awards is so strange to me... there is almost nothing about the story and rise of that game and it's success that shouldn't be what we wanna see in the industry.

it should be celebrated.

i feel more alert and less lethargic after having it in my coffee. i don’t feel heavy or tired like i was, i don’t have migraines as often anymore either.

i know one of the meds i’m on is a diuretic, so it is definitely helping on that front. but i think it’s more than just that.

i don’t know how it works exactly, but i started using buoy’s hydration electrolyte drops and i have noticed a difference in how i feel in a lot of different ways… and they are all good ways.

placebo or not, i am loving it.

i might've gone a little crazy on paper haunt's etsy shop and may have a bunch of stickers incoming because of their sale [along with a few other non-sticker items]... and i may be tempted to get more after they come if i really like them, lmao.

epic games thinking that AI shouldn't be labeled properly on games + being critical of steam for because it'll 'be in nearly everything one day'? oof.

i think that it is absolutely important for a consumer to know... that way they can uphold control of what they are, as a consumer, supporting.

happy day of consumption of turkey to all who celebrate! 🦃

suffering is all i know: a steel guitar [the lap kind, similar to like a guqin] fell on my foot.

it's luckily not broken and it didn't hit my toes... the bruising started almost immediately and it hurts so much right now. i might have a big bruise by the morning or it'll be more of a bone bruise.

I don’t like agreeing to plans too far ahead because I can’t predict how I’ll feel on that day. At the same time, I don’t like last-minute plans either, as it’s too short notice. Anyone relate?

when you have errands you should do, but it's cold out and your bed is warm and cozy.

i have all sorts of highlighters, pens, notebooks and more from japanese brands that i use for this little hobby/special interest of note taking... something tells me that this might be the autism.

i might have a bit of an addiction to japanese stationary and picking random topics to learn about so that i can use said japanese stationary to take notes on within. i have a notebook on mechanical keyboards, one on italian language rules and a few others.

note taking is basically a hobby for me.

having digestive issues is so annoying, so often… it doesn’t even matter what i eat half the damn time, my guts just decide it’s time for a rebellion.

it baffles me that there are people who look at what this admin is doing to federal, medical, general governmental, etc website resources as good… do they not grasp how all of this is going to decimate understanding, public trust and societal progress?

rhae - @corva the cryptid in the dark corner of your reading room.

i'm gonna try and get myself reading more again — like next year i'd like to have a proper reading goal for myself. i've gotten a good amount set up on a goodreads alternative and i'm a librarian for it too, i can do this this next year. i believe in me.

that moment you realize that you have dyslexia and it explains so many things...

i had so much paperwork to fill out today... managed to avoid a paper cut until quite literally the very end of it.

fandom discourse on twitter genuinely gives me a migraine.

i’m gonna make some reading goals for next year and actually follow through with them, i swear.

it's so hardcover --> we're so paperback

i may or may not have [i definitely did] buy 6 books from penguin classics and pelican shakespeare to have on my bookshelves. you, know, for scientific reasons.

A comic panel from Watchmen, showing a partially muscled skeleton (Dr Manhattan) screaming in pain in front of two horrified security guards. Text reads: “November 14th: a partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing…”

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

doing some cat sitting for my sister and look at this handsome young man.
