  • I’ve been LOVING SF6. It’s the first fighting game that has ever truly clicked with me.

    I really need to pick up Diablo 4, but I’m spoiled by Diablo 3 on the Switch for portable play while my wife watches TV. I’d love to get D4 on the Steam Deck, but the setup seems a bit intimidating, and I’d worry that future updates would break it.


  • I was totally the same way when I wrote my first novel. I had the general flow of the story in my head with a few scenes, and somehow ended up with a 65k word manuscript just out of my head. It was a disjointed, poorly paced, poorly written, character arc-less, boring mess of a story.

    It was a good learning experience though. I found out that I’m not a pantser. After learning some frameworks (Abbie Emmons on YouTube has some really helpful resources for Planners to use) and getting a full outline written, I’ve found writing my third novel to be so much easier.

    I haven’t heard of Fabula cards, I’ll have to check it out. I’ve honestly just been using the sticky notes app on my Mac and the card-based overview in Scrivener.




  • For me, weirdly, it’s a tie between TotK and Street Fighter 6. Every time I sit at my couch, it’s a coin toss of which one I’ll be feeling. I’ve never been that into fighting games, but SF6 is really clicking with me. Then of course is the unbridled freedom and creativity of TotK. It’s a tough choice.
    I also need to download the FF16 demo. Heard it’s amazing.


  • TBH, the thing I disliked most about Reddit ended up being the community. It was nice having little niche communities, but wisps of inceldom, hivemind, and that general air of arrogance permeated the entire site. Killing the apps that made the site tolerable to use (Apollo, in my case) was just the last straw. I already used a plugin that deleted all of my posted content from the past 5 years, so I’m officially out, and it’s kind of a relief. I’ll stick to Discord interest servers and small communities like this one from now on.
