Ok someone please tell me how to intro these posts, because I don't know anymore. I've had this blog for over eight years, I've used every update intro that exists. There are no more left. I have spent my free time this month playing Baldur's Gate 3! Again! I finished another playthrough. It's just such a cool game. I love all the characters. I've been posting about it a bunch on Tumblr. (If...
I feel like I'm supposed to start this post by saying, "Happy New Year!" but that would feel disingenuous. This year isn't going to be any happier for me than the last one was. But this post isn't about the new year, so ha. Take that, 2024! It's about what I did in December. And one of the things I did was make art! And I'm so happy with how it came out. Seriously, this is what I was...
November. Another month gone by in which I've mostly just played games (well, mostly one game) when I felt up to doing things with my brain (and my body, sometimes even moving my hand takes too much energy). I got back into Sun Haven after taking a few month's break! They've had two big updates since I last played, and I've been having a lot of fun again. They made my favorite NPC romanceable!...
I forgot to keep track of anything this month, and now I don't know what I did. I guess I played more Moonstone Island? I've already posted my review, it's a really cute farming sim / creature collector game! Oh, I got a little ghost cat in Cats & Soup! It shifts between opaque and translucent, it really is cute. I'm also still watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I'm on Season 3 now. It's...
So a bit of real life... My energy levels have been worsening for a while, and I felt like I was spending more and more time in a haze, struggling to focus, trying and failing to keep my eyes open. I thought my illness was just worsening. Turns out I've been living with CO2 poisoning from a poorly ventilated room. Which is good, to have figured it out! But also bad because there's no good...
I always feel like I should announce it in the title when I make art because it happens so rarely, but I'm not that enthused about this one, so it felt weird to draw attention to... Anyway, I played some more games. I mentioned giving up on Brookhaven Grimoire last time, but I went back to it and ended up finishing the game. There was a frustrating lack of guidance for the player, but I loved...
I'm a couple days early since July isn't quite over, but eh, whatever. I don't like to get too into things here on my blog, I save the diary-worthy overshares for Twitter, but I've still been stressed and struggling and worried about my future because of health problems and living situation. So I went back to distracting myself mostly with games. I'm trying to enjoy them while I'm able to...
Making art for Mermay got me back into an art mood, so I set to work on one of the numerous started-and-paused drawings I have. I struggled with it a lot and am not entirely happy with how the drawing came out, but I do like the coloring. It had been a long time since I'd done a portrait with semi-realistic coloring (as in, not cel shading or watercolor splotches). Anyway, it's Jacobin and...
I've still been struggling a lot lately. So I'm sorry that I still have not been visiting or chatting with everyone much. I've been posting here less too, but I'm still going. I've also been listening to fewer books, but podcasts have been great. Among my usuals, I've been bingeing a trivia podcast called Good Job, Brain! It's interesting and fun. As for games, I've still been playing Sun...
Let's see. What did I do in April... I played more games because they're a great distraction from real life. Which means I also got a lot of headaches, but eh, that's not fun to talk about. I've been having a lot of fun with Sun Haven! It's the first cutesy farming/crafting sim I've played, and it's full of fantasy stuff, and my character is a naga with four boyfriends :-) I want to stop for a...
