Cyrrene will definitely reach 100 books read this year, btw. We spend most of our nights hanging out together and reading, it's great.

Hey there Delilah
Upward it mooned while onstreaming
And if you understand these words
Then you must be from that gleaming
land of Tlön,
the one where all the maps are gone
We made it spawn

In general, my limiting factor for gaming is time and interest, since I'm more of a reader than gamer now. I've read 60+ books this year.

Also, my gaming budget has plummeted. I'm just as happy reading books from the library, why would I buy multiple $70 to $80 games?

Anyway, support indie devs.

I'll say though that I won't spend $500 on a Switch 2 just for Fire Emblem, and there's nothing else that would make me buy one right now.

Actually, I'm more interested in the Mario Galaxy physical story book than anything else.

Oh, huh. Ok, so that's a sequel (?) to Three Houses.

I'm in for Fire Emblem while riding a.. turkey ostrich thing. Yes, I'm in for that.

Please tell me I misheard that, loooool

Did I just hear "Ciao Ciao"?

The famed warlord from the Three Kingdoms era, Ciao Ciao.

Ditto human chimera, I'm fucking dying, help

I was on the periphery of these art groups, that's why I have memories of how these things developed.

I sometimes come across these reminders of how things were in creative spaces back in the day, and I can't help but be nostalgic.

There is actually a ton of hidden history for many of the creative works we enjoy today, and while perhaps the ones I mentioned are more oughts to 2010s, I think if you look, you can find them.

That's because back then, the online art communities were quite small and people knew each other.
