I have never really cared for massages. Except for those two years I was going to massives almost every weekend and two of the women in the rave fam were learning massage therapy; high on molly while getting a massage in the middle of a cuddle puddle was an otherworldly experience. But otherwise, never really been a fan. I have friends who swear by them....

Last night, I begrudgingly sat down to write. I was tired, annoyed, and tired some more, but I was in my routine and couldn’t not write. It was automatic. Not writing would have been the hard thing to do. This was the plan all along, to arrive at the point where I’ve maintained a practice long enough to just do the damn thing without having...

There’s a game on Game Pass called “House Flipper.” I can only surmise what it’s about, give that I have no desire to open the ad and actually see for myself. Best guess? You’re a millennial who manages to acquire a piece of property and at the behest of your savvy real estate friend, you decide to get into the real estate game.
JFC, even...

Have you noticed that some of the most epic anime isn’t necessarily anticlimactic, but rather has an anti-climax? In some of the most interesting, thought-provoking, or just plain bad ass anime, the shows/films/adaptations don’t just come rolling to a halt, but they’re goddamned confusing or outright tragic and that’s what makes them so good. If you’re an avid anime fan, how many times have you...

It’s interesting how entirely complex a game can be. I returned to Tower of Fantasy (ToF) after almost a year break with the intention of diving deep and really working on my character, and I’m finding that there’s so much to understand about a myriad of mechanics that it’s overwhelming. When I stepped away from playing oh so long ago, only Asperia existed. Upon returning,...

I find it fascinating how people with really deep convictions would rather implode than change their views. When that moment strikes where you realize you’re wrong in the midst of an argument, how hard is it to admit it? So much of our action is wrapped up in emotion, and we almost always never realize it. Every choice, every reaction, everything we do, despite how...

Not too long ago, I posted a thread on X about coffee rules, just to have a little fun with regard to the fact that coffee snobs can be, well, snobs about coffee.
Me being one of them, of course. Just kidding.
I fucking love coffee, and while I’m particular about how I take my own coffee, I really don’t care how anyone else...

Fuck. I think I’ve watched Arcane five or six times now (seven?) and every time, every fucking time, I cry at the end. I feel too deeply for these characters. Everything’s just so damn plausible with regard to their interpersonal relationships. It’s one of the few shows that I keep returning to for its depth of characters. And the conditions under which the show...

Two nights ago as I sat down to write I had one idea to pursue, and in settling in, after browsing X, I ended up with three ideas. Not wanting to have to decide which one to write about, I wrote briefly on all three. Tonight, the opposite occurred: I had three ideas to choose from as I settled in to begin writing, browsed...

A friend posted on X asking if people felt like they were ignored due to others thinking they had nothing important to say. It’s an interesting question to consider, especially when social validation is on the line. Everyone actively producing content and sharing it on social media is fishing for attention. I argue that this is literally what social media is for. People fish for...

Anyone play Tower of Fantasy?
I spent this past week trying to catch up on ToF. I want to complete all the winter festival missions before the event ends, and that means getting far enough through the Vera and Domain 9 missions to unlock access to their respective missions in this season’s event. As part of these missions, there is, of course, a raid boss,...

I sat down with the intention to write about how much more civil politics were played before Trump. Then I browsed on X for a bit and threw that topic out the window when two others popped up that felt more … pressing. Not that any of this is pertinent, given that we’re stuck dealing with it all and having to work our way through...
