Painfully Blind. I watch 1 anime a year, beat 3 games a year, and enjoy writing books if motivation allows for it. He/him.

Good a place to start keeping track of everything I finish this year. 1. My own book. Draft zero anyway. Two months and one week, 80 hours of writing give or take, and 125,512 words later. Pretty happy with it as a foundation for something actually good in the future (I hope).
Learned that arachnophobia modes do not work on me very well. Satisfactory replaces spider-like creatures with .png’s of cat faces but I know what they’re hiding. I know their secrets. And it still creeps me out. Better than just seeing spiders swarming me, but still.

Turns out I don’t need a test for the former, as I have been absorbed into the world of Satisfactory. I will reach peak efficiency, eventually.
I can’t say I’ve ever been tested for either but I promise you, YouTube, you’re asking the wrong guy.

Therapist asked me yesterday what I excelled at and, if it wasn’t open already, I fear my silence would have shattered the window in that office. Listen we’re here for anxiety and fear not confidence and self-image.

First session went well. Talked about all the usual stuff I assume happens in therapy; family history, medical history, known traumas, goals, everything in between. Another set for two weeks from now.

The gender neutral urge to find a cheap place to live, pack two bags, and move several hours away to get a fresh start without notifying anyone.

Consultation went well so now I can actually use this.

Of course it’s the addition of vampires making me want to play another not-civilization style game.

Back in the writing mines, the boring one with all the study of scenes, structure, and various analyses. And also the boring book mines, I cannot wait to be done with my current read. Probably tomorrow or the next day. Then I throw a dart at one of four series’.

About to call the vet on my sister’s behalf and cover the cost if it turns out I’m just paranoid. Pretty sure the little guy has had a fever all day and potentially a UTI or something similar. How she doesn’t see the obvious changes in her cat, I don’t know. Been stressing me out immensely for days.

Sometimes I wonder if my sister deliberately convinces herself her cat isn’t in pain or has health problems because she’s too broke to afford vet bills (and should therefore never have gotten the cat). The thing causes me more stress than her, one of two reasons I do not want a pet.

Pretty sure the cat dislikes fish flavoured foods. Which is annoying, considering the stranglehold Big Tuna has on the cat food industry.

You can’t call it a “North American tour” if the only stops in Canada are Toronto and Montreal! Stop this nonsense.

There must surely be a better way to make a cat eat food with mixed in powdered medicine that isn’t starving them until they realize it’s the only food they get till it’s gone. Or maybe he just hates the new diet food, which tough luck there buddy.

How it feels to have been right about your cat being in pain when everyone around you, vet included, thought otherwise for three weeks:

Why does some no name loser boss (who has beat my ass for two hours now) in a random… church organ building(?) have a theme that goes harder than most HK1 bosses.

Good news about the “is it ear canals or is it brain cancer” concern, I can’t hear half as well anymore and my head doesn’t hurt. So my olive oil and Chinese water torture methods have moved the problem to a far more manageable location that I can easily fix. I live another year, I guess.

Hand is messed up again but that’s fine because now I have an excuse to wear the cool brace again.

Seen too many comments around saying you can’t expect Gen Z and younger to know what the Odyssey is, as if it was written in 1990 by a middle aged Homer. That or millennials were born in 700BC which I’m leaning more toward.

Apparently pissed off the excessively right wing guy I have to be around often, by making two small jokes about Current Events (one being “I wish his name was Mario”). Same guy that has made school shooter and racist jokes at every opportunity, even unprompted. So that’s good news.

“Are those (flowers) for your girlfriend or your mom?” I appreciate girlfriend getting top billing, old man I passed by on the sidewalk. He was seemingly very proud they were for my mom.

Either I need my ear canal power washed again, have an ear/sinus infection, or have brain cancer. Cross your fingers and toes it’s not the Bad One. Lot of less than ideal situations these last few weeks.

The Sinner’s Road area of Silksong has tested my will to continue for two days. Need to play something fair and fun, like Dark Souls 2 or Crash Bandicoot 1, to reset myself and come back to it.
