This video is pretty great

Like I also feel like "Bel" is a "more real" version of my actual self at this point than the person that I occupy in meatspace.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose your chosen "voice". My voice is mostly text.

I hate that spellcheckers do not accept my usage of the word "automagically"

Does anyone else out there keep open a text file throughout the day that they use as scratch space?

Trying to decide if I am a weirdo for this practice or completely normal.

I mean I already know that I am a weirdo...

Morning Folks! This one is another one of my weekend recap smorgasbord-type posts as I talk about the launch of #Diablo4 Vessel of Hatred this evening, some #Minecraft nonsense, more attempts at attaching to #Soulframe, and being grumpers towards #Nintendo about them systematically shutting down legit Switch emulators and pushing that scene underground.

@binarydigit more or less leaving behind mainstream social media has done wonders for my mental health

@binarydigit it is surreal how pure tumblr can be at times and how everyone understands that essentially the days are numbered because it is not making money,, but they are enjoying the ride while it still exists lol

Tumblr has become basically my geek instagram and I kind of love it for that. One of my favorite bits has been this WebComic Our Super Adventure
https://oursuperadventure.tumblr.com/

On a whim the other day I decided to click through to the storefront and fell in love with several stickers. What I was not expecting was an impromptu sketch thank you card, an art postcard, and a couple of small ghost stickers thrown into the mix as a bonus.

Morning Folks! I'm a bit later than normal this morning because I took the day off and I have been sidetracked.

This morning I talked about how effective my chicken farm has been in #Minecraft and how it is making me contemplate sending the cows to the big farm upstate to free up room.

Additionally, I talk a bit about what I have been doing in #LastEpoch.

Morning Folks. It seems like the longer I am sick... the more likely I am to eventually retreat into #Minecraft. This morning's post is yammering about a new survival world as well as me linking a playlist of my very first world back from Alpha.

@youronlyone I'm pretty sure at this point anet might be the only thing that is still profitable

@BeAware look I've found my tv remote in the fridge...

If it were not for a YouTuber that I watch to keep up to date on dumb TikTok trends I would think I was having a stroke with all the sudden influx of "demure" and "mindful"

@BeAware I don't remember any queues in previous season launches so it lessened significantly after those first issues.

Diablo IV updating, but I am not certain I will actually get to play over lunch at the rate it is going.

@scopique @massivelyop time gating, cash shop bullshit, a UI that is constantly screaming for my attention in 300 different notifications all firing at the same time... daily login nonsense.. no ability to just "play the game" without wading through all of this.

They are all universally awful. Sometimes I am bored enough to try them but rarely if ever last longer than a few weeks before realizing I am playing a button clicking chore simulator.

if nothing else #Fallout76 has won because it allowed me to create a giant dinosaur inside of a vault.

Nothing I am hearing about No Rest for the Wicked makes me think it is a game I would like. I am not a big fan of Soulslikes but even that aside the discourse about inventory pressure and item durability would destroy any enjoyment I might find.

I did not beat Breath of the Wild until I played it on an emulator where I could disable item durability. The first thing I do when I play a Bethesda game is find a mod that removes encumbrance and gives me unlimited inventory.

I would be miserable.

@Baley I can actually see your avatar and such on this one :) the previous one I never could see any images you posted for some reason.

@jayesh @Baley yeah I had to click through to them to get them to open, they never showed up in feed is what I meant

Nothing better in life than being a cat's chosen human
