A game that soothes anxiety is worthy of anyone's time. It's like it's not a game you want to play, it's a game you NEED to play.

I bet. I played the demo and was already in love. I might have to squeeze it in sooner rather than later. It seems so relatable plus I love tea. 🫖

Progress is Progress

What have you been working on? Well, I have a few reviews that I hope to publish this week. The writing portion of them is done. I just need to edit them and add some more images. Two game reviews and one book review for a book I finished, today. I have also been thinking of…

What have you been working on? Well, I have a few reviews that I hope to publish this week. The writing portion of them is done. I just need to edit them and add some more images. Two game reviews and one book review for a book I finished, today. I have also been thinking of using one of my old notebooks to help me each time I hit an obstacle with my fanfiction so I can get myself back on track.

Oh that, I feel like there could have been another way rather than having Xaden resort to that.

Emily @monsterlady.bsky.social · 1d

Last week I started watching 911 Nashville for the hell of it and Blue Bennings is cute. Maybe I'm just saying that because his hair and muscles remind me of Xaden Riorson, but his skin is not as dark. 😍

The actor Hunter McVey is cute too when his hair is the same as that.

Suit yourself but what made you mad about Iron Flame?

It’s Two Layers

Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. I used to bake cakes all the time, and the next time I do, I want to do it from scratch as I've been using pre-mixes. Anyway, when I was still learning to bake cakes, I made a really dumb mistake. I did everything right, except…

I tried the demo for a game called Cats & Cups where you run a café serving cats coffee and other beverages. There's no tea for some reason but who knows.

I liked it but I had trouble stirring the chocolate syrup maybe due to the ergonomic mouse I had. But it was still a cute game. 🎮

my favorite thing when it comes to the discussion about the Horizon franchise is when gamer bros furiously talk about how “it’s so boring” or “a bad game,” and yet…

they continuously talk about it. 🤭

not to mention it’s THE franchise sony is putting their money towards, so clearly… 🤡

Spotted two wankpanzers being test-driven on my way home from the physio clinic since there's a Tesla dealership nearby.

Once again when I see those ugly things my first thought to the driver is, "What the hell is wrong with you?" You want a Cybertruck? A dumpster on wheels?

Idiot.

Tbh I would rather hear people blasting metal (even if it's not the type of metal I like) than rap because it's all I ever hear coming from people's cars.

Emily @monsterlady.bsky.social · 4d

I used to go to a lot of metal concerts when I was in college but now concerts are expensive and my introverted brain has become more reserved with how crowded they are and most venues..... they're always in shady parts of the city that I don't want to commute to and from.

Emily @monsterlady.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah that's pretty much me too. 😅 I've noticed that it's more common with modern metal these days.

But I shall stick to power and symphonic metal... and the more traditional stuff.

I love Sabaton! Seen them 3 times.

Also as a fellow Metalhead I am the same way, I like metal bands with "cleaner" because I can't understand the screaming either. Plus clearer vocals are easier to sing along to.

I don't mind some raspy vocals like Rob Zombie and Motörhead though.
