Honestly lol. I'm was kinda like "come on body, I have things I gotta get done!" Although to be fair, I don't need illness to still be a procrastinator lol!

I feel like I've been pretty negative about my work/day job recently, and even though it is genuinely rough and frustrating in some ways (as far as 9-5 office jobs go, anyway lol), part of it is my attitude too. And the attitude of those around me. Just need to take a deep breath sometimes!

It's kind of wild how much later events can retroactively taint older memories

Anyway, finally happy to be able to get back to the projects I've been wanting to do, and not as happy to get back to the chores I had been putting off lol

I have a PC connected to our main TV downstairs, and use it all of the time! Like even for coding and art.

And yeah, it's amazing for games lol. Nowadays, it's so easy to set it up with an Xbox One controller if you want that. Biggest issue I have is my GameCube controllers making things weird lol

- a guy in a cowboy hat high-fived me for eating said pretzel
- I rewatched the first 2 Star Wars films, since I haven't seen them since like high school and I didn't know how to be critical of media back then
- still very happy that I ate that giant pretzel
- still a fan of Star Wars Episode 2

I'm not going to be making a social media post every time I start a stream however, because I think that was starting to get a bit spammy on my social media accounts. Just know, every other Thursday evening, I'll be there!

I'll be live on Twitch (twitch.tv/JaykeBird), and I might figure out YouTube streaming at some point too.

Coding streams will also make a return on an infrequent basis starting in December.

Some of you know I have a project going on involving Mario Party, so right now I just need to play more of the games! (Oh no, how terrible, I have to play video games! Lol)

I agree! So many people on the internet decided 9 and 10 were "the bad ones", and so many other people dismissed and skipped over these games without even trying as a result.

This probably leads into a larger discussion about needing to form your own opinions, so I'll digress lol.

I grew up with the GameCube Mario Party games, and I honestly appreciate what they were doing with 9. It's definitely quite different, so that's kinda the rub for some people... but I've pulled it out to play with friends on multiple occasions and we've had a fun time!

Lol! Same answer, different work to get there.

Yeah, caffeine just doesn't really seem to do much anything for me. I could just straight up drink a Monster and then go to bed lol!
