One of greatest victories as a teenager was in 12th grade government. I raise my hand.
“May I go to the bathroom?”
Teacher: “I don’t know, can you?”
“I can, but I asked ‘may I’.”
Teacher (putting his hand to his face): “Dammit! Yes, you may go!”
Class laughed, so did the teacher. Good times.
I was baptized Catholic as a baby. I have never participated in the church in any capacity. I have been a full blown atheist for almost 30 years.
The fact I need to side with the Pope in any sort of debate baffles me, but here we are.
Thank you @maddymakesgames.com for making something so fun but also so poignantly beautiful. It’s one of my top five games of all time.
As a cis guy, I played Celeste before the reveal, and as someone who doesn’t struggle with mental health issues, I valued it for not only the amazing gameplay but the insight into a world and experience I do not know.
The trans reveal made me love and appreciate it even more after the fact.
It feels kinda crazy to me that one of my new all time favorite movie characters is a sentient rock spider.

Yesterday was a prime example of the conundrum of me wanting to be an informed citizen, but also wanting to bury my head in the sand.

I don’t want to be big and famous and stream full time. I just want to play games, be silly, and find folks who enjoying being silly with me.
A personal streaming conundrum! I want more viewers so I can provide more good like raising money for charity.
But that means growing my audience to a size I may feel uncomfortable with. I like a chat that is active, but slow enough to engage with.

It feels kinda wrong to push myself outside the intended experience, but it was one of those times where I wanted to enjoy the game more than I was. And so far, I'm glad I have.
In fact, I restarted in "Freedom" mode where I didn't need to worry about food and water. And installed a few mods (like a map) that make it more of a exploration/crafting game as well.
I know this changes a lot of the vibe of the game, but I'm enjoying it much more now.
So as part of my Backlog this year, one of the games I started to play was Subnautica since @danfloydplus.bsky.social started playing it, and I didn't want spoilers. And as someone with moderate thalassophobia and dislike of survival mechanics, it was a struggle to start.
And if you're wondering why I went from Game 8 to Game 10, that's cause I'm still playing Game 9: Subnautica.
It feels good to be getting back into the 2026 Backlog again. Got a new review up for game #10: Little Kitty, Big City
Backlog went on a mini-hiatus as I got back into streaming and spent more time working on streaming stuff than gaming. But now I can get back to it!

And now this!
Ah! The age old moment of “I’m back into streaming, so YouTube recommends a bunch of ‘how to grow and be big’ videos at me” without comprehending this a hobby for me. Not a side-hustle growth venture.
It’s just fun to do. Let me be a small streamer in peace.
I would still argue the idea of keeping the reduced level cap, but let them show up in roulettes for past expansions. Or have an “allow restricted jobs to join” in duty finder.
Blue mage is a lot of fun, but I really dislike the idea of needing to pre-form a party to run an instance.
It was 80F yesterday! What the hell!?
In world of extroverts and early birds who think everyone is like them, we introverted night owls are going to have to suffer this annoyance.
Bleh.
I struggle to get up by 7:15 during standard time and you want me to be up by 6:15 instead?
Be early birds all you want! That’s fine. Just leave me the hell out of it. And maybe work should have the option of doing 8-4 and 9-5.
