Disco Elysium is one of those games that really shows that video games are art.
It was so impactful on my first playthrough a few years ago but going through it a second time with more life experience has gut-punched me so many times

Nothing in a game infuriates me more than when I can't pause in dialogue.
Why don't you let me pause dialogue?!!???!??!!???!?!?

There are times when I love PC gaming (ultra quality graphics, 240 FPS that sorta thing) and there are times when I hate PC gaming (my friend's microphone has just stopped working and we've been troubleshooting for an hour and nothing has changed)

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

I regained my love of reading this year and I'm so happy.
I went from reading a book every 6-12 months to having read 18 books in total this year.
I'm going to beat that number next year

Sitting and staring at my games collection with over 150 games and not knowing what to play seems like an odd dilemma to have and yet I have it

The fact that writers can use various combinations of 26 letters to make me care about people who never existed and then destroy me emotionally by making them suffer is the weirdest, most unfair, and wonderful of magics

I finished Edgedancer today. Brandon Sanderson is an absolute master of the craft but I made the stupid decision of asking for Oathbringer for Christmas so now I have to wait over a month to continue the series

That inevitable moment in a D&D session when everyone gets distracted by the soundboard on discord so we spam dumb sounds for 5 minutes then carry on like nothing happened

Sometimes a game means so much to you that you have to immortalise it with a tattoo.
A few months ago I got this tattoo of the Quen sign from the Witcher 3 as a symbol that I have the strength to shield myself from the things that hurt me

I've been reading through the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson and it's become one of my most favourite book series ever. Highly recommend for anyone who loves epic fantasy with deep and rich worldbuilding.
Also The Way of Kings is one of the only books to make me cry so ya know... it's good

The thing I find funny about conservatives getting mad at echo chambers is that that's exactly what they want to do with society by banning all books and shows and films and games that don't conform with their ideas. That's the ultimate echo chamber
