Hades 2 reminds me how utterly washed I am, especially considering I wasn't really that bad at the first game but some attacks man ...

Never going to stop thinking about that first uni friend I had who was like "you look like the type of guy who would play dnd" (I don't...) and every time I ask someone they agree 😭and some even say I look nerdy enough to lol

which tbf considering what I play, I shouldn't be surprised...

it's nice actually getting into hobbies you're genuinely *proud* of

bought helldivers like a week and a bit ago and was not expecting to be so easily entranced into the whole super earth thing

(also the game is really fun)

I've been every now and then (but gradually increasing in frequency) sending people photos of near where I'm situated, just like mostly pretty nature / sky pictures... It's not really something I'm experienced in, yet people seem to call me talented at it which is nice and surprising

I think there's a lot of pressure on everyone to be courageous but I just wish I had some sort of peace and could sit back and wait for it to blow over. Crazy bloody times we live in at present and it feels surreal to be living in so many historical parallels.
At least I have video games to calm me.

I hate group chats but it's really heartwarming to know that mine are forever now and always more secure and legal than the Trump admin lmfao

Used to look at news and go "Oh this is obviously fake" then find out two hours later it very much wasn't

Now I see fake posts from The Onion and go "yeah, nothing surprises me anymore..." and then realise "wait crap that's an onion post"

Red alert 3, a game part of a decently large franchise of games completely abandoned by EA, got a major update on steam yesterday that gave the source code and is allowing steam workshop mods / maps so I don't gotta download them from like moddb

This was NOT on my 2025 bingo card, but I'm glad

The Australien Government has made an ad to announce the 2025 election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

scared to play balatro (which i bought the other week) because now when i sleep i can hear its soundtrack in my head

hella fun game tho

Australian election season: *Looms in the distance*
Every political party's social media marketing team: "GOTTA PUMP OUT THOSE MEMES TO BE HIP WITH THE GEN Z / MILLENNIALS"

on second thought it like, makes sense. Gen Z is voting now and whatnot, but it does feel crazy being overloaded with memes

honestly it's my birthday tmr and i'm excited in a way cause it's my first like, "birthday of freedom" away from parents where i don't have to constantly worry about what goes on in the immediate vicinity, but i'm also still really nervous for just the different reasons than i used to.

waking up as an australian is crazy because i just go "so what'd i miss with the inauguration?" only to hear that "elon did *that* salute"
thank god i don't live over there

hoyoverse be making me attracted to characters i don't even like as much
goddamn herta is very pretty

society has so brainbroken me that every time i look outside at the night sky and see a plane or flashing lights i sarcastically go "oH lOoK gUys it'S an uNiDentIfieD flYiNg oBjecT"

getting my pfp recognised by complete strangers online (in discord servers and such) is crazy cause fym other people know what patapon was? when you spend your entire school life having nobody even owning an obscure psp game and all of a sudden people now know it's jarring

now that i have this i'm not too sure what to even post, i usually reserve discord for chatting and insta for posting noita gifs or hsr / genshin pulls but ehh, i'll find smth.

maybe i'll get back into drawing again? once i have money for it

I probably would have joined twitter, but then it become X. Not that I was like super big into social media before turning 18 but like still.
Joined insta few months back thinking it was the least insane of the bunch, after hearing what's going on I regret that lol
Hoping this site lives long tho :)
