I know it's Easter, but I'm not doing anything to celebrate, so here I am with a blog post! (Well, blog posts are written before they're posted anyway, it's not like I'm typing this as you're reading it, but. You get it.) My big news this month is that I watched Heated Rivalry Season 1! I subscribed to HBO Max for a month with the plan to watch Heated Rivalry one time and Our Flag Means Death...
I am aware that it's mid March and like half of these books are out already. And to that I say... Who cares? I haven't read them yet, so I'm still excited for them! Really I'm doing you a favor, because this just means you don't have to wait to read some of these. You're welcome. 😊 As always, I'm focusing on books for the first half of the year and books that are either standalones or the...

I'm sorry everyone that I did not post anything in the past month. My blog was having issues, so I've been turning plugins off and on, installing new ones, testing things, and I didn't want new posts to add another variable. Anyway, I think the problem was bots, but I'm still working my way through plugins in case. I've finally taken the maintenance banner down, as long as things keep working,...
Good work everyone, we've made it through another month! To be honest, I don't even know what I did in January. Survived? I played some Palia, but even that has slowed up. I tried playing Sable, but I think I'm giving up because the movement is too slow and clunky for me, making the exploration not fun. Technically I think this was in February, but I also played a bit of Rollercoaster Tycoon,...

The trip makes Max realize he's not as alone as he thought, but things go awry when the Blood Moon legends turn out to be not entirely made...
I think the first update post of the new year is always the most difficult for me to write because the socially acceptable thing to do is to say, "Happy New Year!" and be excited about a new beginning. But, even though that would be easy enough to do, it would feel disingenuous. I have health problems that are getting more imminent and, to summarize it very succinctly, my whole situation is bad....
