Watching someone play through Silksong while having essentially no knowledge of the first game or a single piece of lore besides a couple youtube shorts sure is something. Mostly I just cheer when my friend gets through a hard platforming section or boss. I do love Hornet though. 

I love video games, but video games don't love me lol (bad coordination, slow reflexes, carpal tunnel, memory issues.... video games are hard for me, but it is what it is)

I've definitely had a good time with it though! It's not something I would have gotten into otherwise and it's cool, and while I would never be capable of doing well, I still am capable of recognizing some patterns and strategies and giving actually helpful advice? Like, I have made boss fights possible to beat for my friend multiple times just by pointing out "hey try this" type stuff. I seem to keep making singeplayer games "multiplayer" and it's so fun. I am grateful to the internet for making such things possible with people who live far away. I didn't grow up playing a lot of games or having a sibling who played games or anything, so this sorta thing is a novelty for me. 

Idk, it's probably not that deep or whatever but it's nice to feel helpful even in areas far out of my wheelhouse like a metroidvania.

I'm alive!

I'm trying Les Mis Letters (mainly a discord/tumblr thing, but it's basically one chapter of Les Mis every day of the year), and trying some more games. I also want to get more into TTRPG stuff but it's all so intimidating and involves every social spoon I have! I don't really know people who are into it so I'm trying a game with strangers later this month. Wish me luck....

I also really want to get into embroidery for some reason, but I need to save money at the moment. Just desperate for distraction I guess!

My only "resolution" for the year is to try more games (ttrpg, video games, card games, board games, etc), so I got Slay the Spire during the winter Steam sale. It's so addicting! My first day having it I played it for 10 straight hours. Is that good? Proooobably not, buuuuut, I need as many things to fill my head up with as possible at the moment.

I think my favorite character in StS to play is The Defect, but The Silent is the only one I have managed a successful run with so far.

Apparently there's a StS co-op boardgame, and I want to play it so bad!

I also am making a foray into Fallen London, if anyone wants to be friends on there let me know. I would definitely help out with Scandal and etc if you will help me back! I am still very early into the game, I don't have any skills to 50 yet. The writing is so good!

My life is quite the disaster now, so I am hoping to bury myself in various things. I may still snap and get some sewing or punch needle or something stuff to fill an "occupying my mind" slot. I don't have any macrame stuff at the moment and it's more bulky. I just feel intimidated to try new things, because of the perfectionism beast I have lurking in the waters of my chronic fatigue.

Hope everyone gets through 2025 relatively unscathed.

This just turned into me rambling about wanting to watch more things I think.

Well I have totally failed at posting every day and following new people every day but in my defense: I am tired.
