June 2024 (Happy pride month)
June 30, 2024
Gonna try to be consistent about writing diary posts again starting next month. Stay tuned! My big goal for next month is to make a links page. Not so sure about crochet posting cause i post all that stuff to my instagram and I don't wanna tie myself to something sort of tied to my actual identity. Will probably still put up the peepy pattern though.

I'm back! Haven't had the motivation to come on here much recently, but I just finished Klonoa so I thought I would jump on and write a quick review of it. I've been doing well, just haven't been on the computer much.

Spent all day doing basically nothing, which I sorely needed. Yesterday I went to an amusement park and it wiped me the fuck out. I love love love roller coasters and I'm so glad that a new friend does too! In previous trips I've gone with people who tap out really quickly, but this time I got to stay and ride everything I wanted, sometimes twice! Today I felt sick though, probably because of how disgusting is at the park. Lots of germs and whatnot, I'm sure.
The Orville really hits its stride in the second season. It's still just star trek lol, but the writing improved! A much better hit-to-dud ratio this time. I also genuinely like all of the cast members and their relationships developing with each other, especially the one between the Data stand-in and the human woman. Their episode together was a really interesting take on humans and robots dating, and I thought it brought something genuinely new to the scene. Robot sentience has always been a favorite topic of mine in sci fi, though I think I would be intensely robophobic in real life. I'd definitely feel pity and scorn for those who were unable to find human companions and had to rely on robots, beings that would be purposefully engineered to please us. I'm chronically single myself, but even if it was an option I would never seek artificial companionship. I've never gone to chat with AI's out of lonliness, and I despise generative AI in all its uses to a religious extent. I suppose I'm just a hypocrite.

I've been watching this show, The Orville. It's basically star trek. This is the part where I'd pitch it as "it's like star trek but xyz" but no, it's just like star trek. I missed star trek! Watched a good deal of TNG when it was still on netflix, and I forgot how cozy it feels to watch. I Loooooooooved doctor who when I was in middle school too, so cozy episodic sci fi has always been a love of mine. Anyways, it's a pretty comfortable show to watch. The crew are fun enough to watch interact, there's enough interesting aliens around (though I noticed they scaled back the security officer's prosthetics/makeup from the pilot to the actual show!) The robot character also isn't nearly as good as Data, but I've been enjoying it quite a bit.
I've been listening to Chappel Roan a bit lately. Makes me wish I had a girlfriend, but who knows when that'll happen. I'm very picky apparently (only interested in other lesbians) and I have an..abrasive personality, to say the least. 'Good Luck, Babe!" hit me hard.
Right now, I'm reading Affinity by Sarah Waters. I want to read more lesbian literature this summer, and this one sounded good. Trying to ignore the self imposed stress brought on by also 'reading' like five other books lol. Ah, but such is life.

Finished Jak and Daxter today! I want to write about it soon while it's still fresh-ish in my mind, as well as write about animal well while I'm here.

Hello hello hello lovely people!
It's a new month! That means a new html page and maybe a new css.....later. lol. cut me some slack, I'm an adult with other hobbies(hobby) I'm actually good at! of COURSE i'll trap myself in a loop of only pursuing that one especially if i also have a very tiring job to deal with. No promises this place'll look any better but I am willing to promise to actually write more about video games this month.
In site news...I'm glad to see divsel kicked off the site! I was getting sick of that creep using a bot to mass-like EVERYTHING for clout. I wish the block function worked better but i'm totally happy with him getting banned too.
