January 8, 2024

I want to try this year. I want to try and make things better for myself and for my loved ones. It isn't that I haven't explicitly tried in years prior but I feel a little lighter right now and I want to try and embrace what I am fortunate enough to have. I am going to look for a neurodivergent therapist for myself. After a very long and daunting process I was awarded PIP at the end of 2023 and want to use that allowance to help improve my mental state, understand my limits with my ... Read more

Turning 35

December 30, 2023

Today is my birthday. I have spent it with family and chatting with friends. With delicious food and buying nerdy things. Cuddling my cat and pampering myself with face masks and bath bombs. It's been a nice day, although hectic and busy. My daughter wrote me a birthday card that made me cry with such a thoughtful message and the first time she has gone out of her way to get me a gift of her own money. Not that I expect my children to get me anything but her thought really mattered. I ... Read more

Netflix – Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

December 18, 2023

Spoiler warning because I suck. Please watch the show if you don't like spoilers. When I was younger, I watched Pokemon and that was fine.

Even though there is *so* much around that isn't just pocket monsters and magical girls, having this notion of not being allowed to watch it because ... Read more

From Trails in the Sky into Reverie

December 14, 2023

Spoilers probably (for an incredible series of games that no one should be spoiled on so warning potential stumblers of the internet) because I have no chill and can't keep my mouth shut. Apart from that one time I knew one thing and didn't spoil it for exactly one person. Everything else is off the table, unless I've forgotten it. There was no way I could add in the Cold Steel games into the title but this is my current love letter to The Legend of Heroes: Trails series of video ... Read more

Replaying FF7R in anticipation for FF7 Rebirth

December 7, 2023

It's no secret that Final Fantasy is one of my favourite franchises (lets not talk about FF16 right now though, I currently have no desire to finish it) and I wrote a few years ago now about my experience playing FF7R when it first released on PS4. Fresh information has been streaming through about the highly anticipated FF7 Rebirth coming in February 2024 so I thought not would be an excellent time to refresh my memory on the gameplay of FF7R and finally get around to completing the ...
