In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

I spent the first 9 months of 2025 very happy and carefree--the best time of a PhD program is after you got in but haven't started it, they say. BUT then my life became a crazy mix of family bad news and overwhelming life responsibilities. At least I finally have a steady income so 7/10.

I always go fully qualitative on new year resolutions. No number goals. Just vibes
Right when it comes to new year's resolutions I'm not doing them, I'm doing plans instead. Using up that scrap yarn, doing another Mabel jumper but better this time, not counting the books I read so I do not feel oppressed by the tyranny of more numbers, etc

idk if it’s just me but I feel like my Spotify shuffle doesn’t really shuffle. Feels like it only repeat my recently played songs. Maybe this is why
The goal of Spotify’s algorithm isn’t to help you discover new music, its goal is simply to keep you listening for as long as possible. It serves up the safest songs possible to keep you from pressing stop.

Recently played this demo. I would say this is the type of game that you need to pace yourself to get a better experience. For me one map per day is a healthy amount.
(Btw I play all three difficulties in a row in the order of hard-normal-easy. Cuz Speed run easy mode feels like a good reward)

my take: cats are like rabbits and dogs are like horses.

even though representation is not everything but one of the main motivations for me to buy the game, join the discord server, and start actually caring for it, is how diverse the NPCs are. Especially for a game that sets in a western town.
Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.
