My resolve to take it easy at the library today crumbled after a single cup of coffee and I have already put together a massive new book order, scheduled out a field trip day, tackled a ton of correspondence and still have the Global Reading Challenge Elimination Round to supervise in an hour

FUCK
OCTOPATH TRAVELER II HAS AN UNLOCKABLE CLASS THAT GIVES YOU A GUN THAT SHOOTS SWORDS

GAME OF THE YEAR 1983

I have reached the point where when I’m not playing Octopath Traveler II I’m thinking about how much I want to play Octopath Traveler II

I think it would be extremely funny if it turns out that not only is the Kingdom Hearts remake real but it also joins the canon as its own thing rather than replacing the original because it wouldn’t even be the first SE game to do that

Octopath Traveler clicked with me after I painstakingly sunk several dozen hours into it. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve learned to love these games but the sequel is enchanting me from the word go. This may be a bonafide classic.

Up late, still feeling a bit down, but wanted to do my routine before I sleep.

Hope you're all well. 🐻‍❄️

I don't actually want more Madoka and that's not at all because I dislike it but moreso because what I adored about it was the way that it made me feel, and it's difficult to imagine a continuation of that story conjuring up those same feelings. Something awfully wonderful like it, though...

What a knockout fucking ED. I still remember just how utterly bonechilling this was the first time I saw it. I feel like I'm still chasing the messy, nightmarish feelings Madoka gave me over a decade later.

The Good Place is such a fucking delight. Jason speaks from my heart.

It's a hard thing for me to ask for help but any contribution during this time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all again for the well wishes, reading them all has legit helped make this weekend be far less awful than it was. It's nice to feel cared about ;~; 💚

I'm not sure that I'm asexual but rather that I inadvertently approach sex the same way that I do Minecraft where there's theoretically so many options in front of me that I'm paralyzed with indecision and wind up contributing nothing to the building process and can only be awed by what I see

I'm gonna be real I don't understand Resident Evil nude mods. Like I get the baseline appeal of seeing someone naked but there's like goop all over the place in those games courtesy of the evil residents. I don't want evil resident goop on my dick, no sir.

ENTHUSIASM WAS STOKED FOR THE IMPENDING GLOBAL READING CHALLENGE SEMIFINALS

PATRONS WERE INTRODUCED TO A BEVY OF FIGURES FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH

MANY FRUITFUL DISCUSSIONS WERE HAD ABOUT THE BLACK PANTHERS

AND NOW

TODAY I REMEMBER

NOT TO LET MY MISTAKES DEFINE ME

BUT INSTEAD TO REGARD THEM AS OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW AND LEARN

KNOWING THAT IT MAY STING TO STUMBLE IN FRONT OF OTHERS

BUT THAT I SHALL ONLY IMPROVE IF I AM WILLING AND READY TO GET UP AND TRY AGAIN

The remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door was a delight but I think the real highlight for me was my wife watching me recruiting Madame Flurrie and blurting out, “Damn, that bitch is as stacked as me!”

Paranormasight is an incredible adventure game. Sublimely atmospheric and creative and deftly written. It makes me wish Japan was real.

I should watch Madoka again. Madoka was super cute.

TODAY I REMEMBER

THAT REST IS AS VITAL A PART OF MY WORK AS THE LABOR ITSELF

THAT IT IS ONLY IN GIVING MYSELF THE SPACE AND THE GRACE TO RECUPERATE

THAT I CAN CONTINUE TO GIVE THE EFFORT AND ENTHUSIASM THAT I NEED TO SUCCEED

On the one hand unlocking the ability to be Luigi at the end of the journey is undeniably pretty awesome but on the other hand I'm legitimately struggling to identify the parts of my life that I could improve upon by jumping slightly higher and sliding around like a motherfucker
