When lovers fall, they're breathing underwater, They never feel the waves crashing over ·
the more I dream, the more I come apart ·
so cut a hole in my being, crawl right in ·
I recently found something that makes my brain synapses feel warm - fiddling with crystal-like shiny bumps Since finding this out I've been placing these stickers where I can, such as my schedule book and keyboard:
disclaimer: I have never touched earthbound
They feel really nice to run your fingers over, and they are so pretty to look at :D I also recommend them on machine buttons like the microwave and remote controls, on buttons that you commonly use
Another thing I have acquired is a gram of cats
They are so small. They are so tiny. They have so much detail I wish to consume them But I cannot
I got the gram cats yesterday, after visiting the maid cafe with a friend The one and only time I've been to one was by myself, and I never got the polaroid set This time I did!
Our maid was amazing, god tier, I feel that she would be the best in the city we were very lucky to have been graced by her presence

linux mint
4 February, 2025
more like linux faded
yes it was time of the year for me to try and complain about linux again
the current rankings on distrowatch:
I tried Linux Mint again, which I haven't tried since 2014 probably The experience does get better every time, for example, my proprietary wireless headset with their proprietary USB receiver worked out of the box, which is unreal Also it has nightlight now, also unreal
Not surprisingly none of the games work which could mean a good thing for me
But it does just freeze a few times a day if I open one too many program or have two video tabs open at the same time
It sucks
I really do want to get used to Linux before Windows 10 is expired though arrrrrrrrrrrr The only other one that has a chance of working better would be Ubuntu but I have never had a good experience with GNOME
that is all
what
what are you looking at me like that for
the what?
the game jam?

I did not get very far before terminating it
post-mortem: "it was just like, too hard, man."
our counter for 2025 canceled projects has increased by 1 already leTSGOO though I do like to think that at the end of my life I can round up all my little projects and put them together into one game world (haha yeah good one)

January things
Manga
Sometimes it's nice to simmer your brain in romance and continue to get lost in the deep end
I found one called Sign of Affection. It's unique because they use a lot of sign language. I recognize a tiny bit of AU sign language, and was able to learn things like the sign for "What" being the same in Japan and Australia!
It's got the usual shoujo plot [very cute innocent pure girl falls for avoidant baddie DOUCHEB*G while her childhood friend (pictured above) gets absolutely emotionally scammed] but I still found it enjoyable justice for Oushi...
Video Game
Been getting to play a bunch of Atlyss with people and it's fun
I would describe it as a mix of Phantasy Star Online 1 and <PS2 platformer> It's pretty fun if you like nostalgic grindy MMOs :3c
Board Game
I have had the high privilege of getting to play some board games One introduced to me was called The Mind, a German card game
It is a game where you and player 2 have some cards numbered 1-99, hidden from each other, and you have to place them face up in numbered order together on the table But you cannot speak or make gestures
it sounds goofy. and it is goofy. it's very fun when you play with goofy people. a great entry-level "warm-up" board game

I am armed with Ukelele
STEREO RIGHT: ESL One Raleigh, Xtreme Gaming vs. Team Tidebound, Game 3 STEREO LEFT: Untuned Ukelele playing 7 chords, which is about 6 more chords than I can handle SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN: me mumbling something
i'm going to try stopping the medication thing I am on, I have a bit of a complex with being on any medication but I decided to go on it a year ago after I was scared of dying from menstrual pain the last time it happened :D
But maybe my body is nicer to me now! Maybe it's somehow magically fixed
My family tell me it's because I'm eating bread or because I'm not drinking ginger tea but I don't think either things are what cause me to behave like a roadkill raccoon
But yes if I suddenly disappear you all know what happened :DDDDD (i'll probably be ok) wish me luck
~ + ~ + ~ + ~ + ~
there was something else I wanted to talk about but I forgot
the 2025 game jam is coming up, I'm thinking a browser card game of some kind i've been theorycrafting two characters so look out for those soon <:

Happy new year everybodies it's been nice
People asked me about my new year's resolutions and I decided mine was to create a dedicated workspace for art matters a place where I can be messy and cluttered I was waiting on having a "home" home until I have a workshop like this but I guess things don't work out that easily! (the other thing I would have had is a neat library of books)
Site updates! I tried adding a guestbook again, this time with personal site URLs required, hopefully people will be nice and russian bots won't spam it again. (The domain DNS propagation finished in about 2 hours for me which was really quick, it might still not work for some countries though)
I wish you all a happy 2025 full of warmth and nice food
