Last year someone mentioned making a /now page on mastodon. Basically a page I can update every so often to let folks know what I'm up to.
Life in general has been kinda bad. To be fair i'm not suffering the worst of the facist century of embarrassment, but I've having some personal struggles. Really rethinking getting that comms degree 9 years ago.
I've been sober for like 4 or 5 months cuz I really need to get into therapy first. I don't wanna start drinking as a crutch cuz it can happen.
to end this section on a positive note, I've been practicing my Japanese more consistently at work. I sorta need to work on practicing on my days off, but it's tricky. I am learning and making steady progress though. The NHK articles are getting easier by the week.
I played alot of interest demos from next fest, here's a few standouts.
I have alot of stuff on my PC I'm struggling to focus on. I recently started Sword of the Necromancer Ressurection, but I may still wanna rap up the post of of SAO Hollow Realization before i got any further with other stuff. I've bought alot of games i haven't touched yet, and part of that is I wanna support alot of indies that make interesting ideas I like, even if it's not perfect.
Honestly i may do something similar to the backlog spreadsheet i made in 2019. I don't wanna turn playing games into a job, but I would like to have a bit more focus. Anyway I plan to buy a few more games for the summer sale too, but we'll see. I have two non-negotiable, but maybe some stuff in my current cart i can shift around.
I started watching Hajime No Ippo: The Fighting on Pluto TV recently. Partially because I returned to try and finally finish Boogiepop Phantom On PLuto. I first found Boogiepop Phantom when I first felt super depressed in like circa 2016, and I returned occasionally when I'm feeling down, but I've never finished it. This may be the time.
In addition to that I wanna try and continue my watchthru of the PT-BR dub of Saint Seiya, and the next season of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta is coming back soon.
I recently finished American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis, and it was fantastic. Can't wait to see the movie.
Not sure what to read next, maybe I'll get back to reading the Alchemist. I don't really vibe with the worldview, but it's a beautiful story.
