I passed my personal fundraising goal for the first time 😊 Thank you to everybody who tuned in and donated!
A screenshot of my extra life donation page. Raised $298 USD, my goal was $200USD! Screenshot from the stream. I’m playing “No, I’m Not A Human”, deciding whether or not the person I’m talking to is human or a visitor 😳 I pulled out the gun and made a regrettable choice aosnwishejzbwjzb 😭

Suddenly remembered that I was down bad for Michael in the Good Place
It’s Michael in his midlife crisis saying “Birth is a curse and existence is a prison”. Somebody else posted this pic here today which is prolly why I remembered. WHY DOES HE LOOK SO HOT HERE. WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT MEEEE 😭

I’ve been playing through Golden Sun with my partner and he fell in love with the game as soon as he saw this group of puppies blocking a path 🥹
Screenshot of Golden Sun (that we’re playing on our Switch). There is a group of cute white puppies. Some text on screen that says, “There are some puppies playing over there.”

Just beat Hollow Knight 😊 Had such a fun time playing through it! Not only was the gameplay good but the world was so beautiful and (ik I'm weird for thinking this) cozy 🥺

I wasn't able to do 112% (some of those dream bosses are way too tough...) but I managed to get further than I expected :)
Screenshot of my saved file showing hours spent in the game (44h) and completion percentage (106%). Also shows that I got all the health/soul slots

We did a bunch of stuff to celebrate our one year anniversary 🥰
We went to some gardens and I bullied him into taking photos of me 🥺 I’m wearing a blue dress and I’m surrounded by greenery. He kept calling me short, which is how men say I love you 🙂‍↕️ He’s an amazing chef and he baked a bunch of cupcakes because I was craving something sweet :o there’s four in this picture with candles on them (and an additional candle in the background). Lots of pink sprinkles This was a picture taken during a surprise party. I think he was giving me a lil smooch on the forehead. That’s easy for him to do because I’m short allegedly 😭 He made me steak!! And fries just the way I like them (that he made from scratch by chopping up potatoes 😵‍💫) We also watched a lot of movies. (That’s not pictured here)

A friend and I went to a nearby market/street fair where we found a bunch of cool stuff! I didn’t end up buying anything but it was nice just looking around. The weather was perfect so afterwards we went to a park and chatted while sipping iced coffees
The inside of one of the stores we went to. There were knitted flower bouquets

Post a sequel that really hits!

My husband and I started playing Psychonauts 2 right after wrapping up the first one (it’s his first time, I already played through it once before). It’s such a fun game with one of the coolest intros ever 😤🪥🦷

At work we had a board game night as one of our fundraising activities for Extra Life! It was so much fun, and I got to try out some cool games 😊

I’m specifically raising money for my local children’s hospital (SickKids). Here’s the donation page: www.extra-life.org/participant/...
Stars of Akarios! This picture mainly shows all my player stats, ship abilities, etc Stars of Akarios again, this shows the game board with all the spaceships on it. I put my ship on a suicide mission a few minutes after this picture was taken xP I actually forgot what this game is called D: Some people were playing this right next to us during our Stars of Akarios session and I couldn’t help but admire the models OuO

Thank you Yakuza… I needed this 😔🙏
Screenshot of a substory from Yakuza Kiwami 2. Out on the streets, a character named Yoshida is telling his wife(?) “Got me thinkin’ though, there ain’t no rhyme or reason to life. Ya just gotta roll with the punches.” Kiryu is watching this exchange from the back.

So I went a couple years without much reading (except for fanfics 😳). Last year I decided to change that! I got the Libby app (which I love!!) and read the books shown in the image. I know it’s not much but I’m really happy with my progress. It’s nice to enjoy reading books again 😊
The books are: I’m Glad My Mom Died Seek You: A Journey Through American Loneliness Wendy: Master of Art Rosemary’s Baby Bad Feminist Trese The Cruel Prince Her Body and Other Parties The Lost Sisters

In 2023 I became a part of the Game Awards Future Class. Since then I’ve gotten to know the other members of my cohort and also go to the award show itself. Honestly had such a wonderful time, the other FC members are incredible and it was an honour being able to meet so many inspiring devs!

I found a picture of my inktober drawings from 2018! 🥲 I want to reuse these characters for something… maybe a game jam sometime in the future 🥰
