Will use this new blue sky migration as an opportunity to see how it might feel for a lifelong lurker to write about personal stuff for once
Broke my leg. Got insurance payment. Bought a cheap tablet just to read books in Japanese. Set it up with goated Jidoujisho

It feels so good to read on compared to my phone or PC. Surely it means that I'll actually start reading now. At least one book till the end of the year. Right?

Remembered about the Coub website and got sucked into rewatching Coubs I've liked years ago

This one gets me every time

Finally dropped a Mirror in one of the last maps of this league. Goal achieved, but still a bit salty. Should've gotten at least two with average luck (maybe three judging by divines?)

Excited for the next league. Excited for this currency to fund the Standard GigaRF char. Async trade 🫦

Can finally put Megabonk down for good. Unless there's new changes or some content. Or a fun interaction discovery. Or a sudden rush to fight in the leaderboards. Or just an intense feel to play it more.

Why do I want to suddenly pick up all the DLC to Vampire Survivors while autumn sale lasts help

Got sucked into playing Megabonk -> started watching videos on youtube about it -> found Megabonk's dev videos -> got inspired about gamedev after seeing that he's a solo dev (unless i'm mistaken?)

Currently got two game ideas and spend my time browsing top of all time of r/Godot and r/gamedev help

Found this image while browsing CPTSD subreddits. Reminds me of how alien the relationship between my partner and their parents/relatives felt. It was actually warm and kind and they had interest in asking each other questions and going out together and just talking? Wow

Bought Megabonk, the game that's exploding on twitch right now
Big mistake

Launched at 5pm. Went to sleep at 2am. Couldn't fall asleep for a few hours. Said "damn it all" and went back to playing it till 11am

Can someone please add unlocks and achievements and carrots on a stick to real life?

Playing Path of Exile, dropped 46 sacred orbs this league, yet zero mirrors.

Hoping all the luck is getting concentrated in me winning a jackpot in a lottery. Would be nice to have the ability to retire this early and move to a different country

Knock, knock.

Who’s there?

Hike.

Hike who?

Dad waiting with baited breath,
Sets the perfect trap.

I always think that GGG can't possibly top *insert most recent announcement* livestream. Seem to always be wrong. What a reveal. The cinematic, the gameplay, the mechanics.

I wasn't that interested in Path of Exile 2, thinking I'll have fun in my powercreep PoE1, but now I'm pumped for early access

Finished rewatching AI: The Somnium Files playthrough by CohhCarnage and damn, what a game. Top tier comedy, story, voice acting and music

Don't remember being as much into the second game but will give watching it a go again too. Might've been a case of "first one SO good, the 'usual good' is meh"

Still wondering if I have ADHD or not, if I should try to get diagnosed, been like that for years. Then I stumble upon this Reddit comment of ADHD changes from medication

This is me. I can't brush my teeth without pacing around, I have trouble not taking breaks when some activity takes 30+ minutes

Totally not jealous of that title my partner got like 1 hour into the game
Still, Webfishing is chill and fun, all those long term goals make my neurons activate... hm...
November 2, 2024 at 6:54 PM
Played Webfishing with my partner
Might be addicted
Can't play while I'm home alone
No Man's Sky is a good enough distraction

Also, took me (us) a while to realize you only need to mash your mouse when there's a bar, we were mashing it all the time and wondering how hardcore this game is

Problem: not becoming a person I want to be, disorganization, lack of set goals, no goal list, no steps written down to reach them, no pet projects

Solution: make a Telegram bot where I can manage all that stuff in a way that works for me

Time till first line of code is written: 1 hour to 10 years

Played games on 12yo pc with fx6300 + 1050ti combo until just under a year ago, wasn't that enjoyable but games were still fun

Upgraded to Ryzen 5600+32GB RAM first, CS2 and Path of Exile became more enjoyable, overall PC speed was noticeably faster, yet the GPU was still a big bottleneck

Understanding enough to start actually reading short/ish posts in Japanese over here instead of skipping over them out of "I'm not gonna get it anyways" habit

Might get hooked and rocket boost my progress, it's fun

Going through all the memorable games I've played/watched throughout my life I've remembered there was a game where you could spec into blood magic and it feeling somehow exciting or special

Thought it was around the time I played Dragon Age Origins, but not sure if that's the game from that memory

First I saw this
