I Tried to Complete Persona 3 Portable in Three Days

January 15, 2024

I could have left playing Persona 3 Portable in such a short space of time honestly. These games aren't exactly known for being done quickly. I know, for one, having already played Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal. However, nothing kicks in my ADHD hyperfocus quite like a deadline, particularly if it's something I enjoy. So how did I do, did I manage to actually complete Persona 3 Portable in three days? A game that on average takes around 65 hours to complete if you're just there ... Read more

125 Hours of Balders Gate 3

January 10, 2024

Spoilers below for the RPG video game by Larian Studios Balders Gate 3 based on Dungeons & Dragons. Balders Gate 3 is an incredibly good game and worth putting in the long hours to get to the end of the story. I finished a complete play through last night which was the second campaign I started after kind of messing things up on my first campaign and deciding to start again. I have since gone back to my original campaign knowing more, being able to play better and to see if I ... Read more

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. A few years later I kind of got into Sailor Moon and Digimon but for some reason for a girl my age that wasn't fine anymore. I got made fun of and teased about watching Anime and that stuck with me. 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
