a lil place for rose to post stuff Pages About Me Games of the Years of my Life Favorite posts...
I've been fat my whole life, so it shouldn't really come as a surprise that I think about my body a lot. I've had sort of a contentious relationship with it in the sense that I have gone back and forth between hating it and accepting it as is. When I was a kid, I had a fuzzy picture of myself as thinner, more attractive than I was then. But, unlike the way we see with some celebrities, puberty did…
Whooooee! It's been a minute. Looking at my blog, the last one of these I even tried was in October. Def have fallen off this particular wagon. Alas, time is hard to come by. Anyways, just kinda wanted to post something as I feel like I'm settling into the new year (Rose, it's 2/3 through Jan. questions at the end, thank you ). Normally in these, I talk about different stuff I'm consuming, but I…
image: the sailers as characters from Final Fantasy Type-0 How we intend to approach the New Year It's been a hell of a year (derogatory). Everyone I know has been having a rough go of it this year. But! There's some wins! There's some joy! I started working out more consistently (so have several of the sailers; we're entering our collective gym era). I'm also more excited about my teaching and my…
I have anxiety. Now, before you say "yeah, Rose, we're aware ", let me explain. My head is frequently filled with junk, broadly speaking. It's pretty hard for me to relax, in general. And I have a hard time calming down in plenty of instances. The reason I bring this up is because I've been thinking of how I just want to fall into a game again. I think the closest was Absolum , which kicks ass.…
I fucking hate "AI." GenAI is genuinely a fucking disaster. From the environmental effects, to the anecdotal examples of leading to cognitive decline to the NINE people it has killed (and that number is just ChatGPT!). That's more than double the "lemonade that kills you" from Panera, which was pulled from their stores so fast, I only heard about it after it was pulled from the market. I tried it…
Boy howdy, it's been a minute, huh? Can't really call it biweekly at this point (I could, but I don't like to lie). Because we're understaffed at the ole Retail gig, I've ended up working 6 days a week between that and teaching for the last month and a half or so? Not loving it!! I know many people work more and I don't think they should have to either. But when one job has homework and the other…
Binkies (Gags, goofs, other positive notes) El beat MGS3 and then Delta came out, so we've been watching them play that and she just flew through the game. Like, that game came out barely a week ago and they've already almost finished. It's been a lot of fun, even if we just watched her do it last week lol Even as the world continues to be shittier, I'm going to get queerer and cuter. I will not…
What do I even say about this game? It's peak. Kingdom Heats III just did not fuckin' hit and while games between II and III have been pretty fun, nothing hits quite like Kingdom Hearts II did. It was just the right mix of silly and serious and the combat was fucking unparalleled. Watching Mint play a randomizer of it was super fun.
(axel voice: two twos?!) This game fucking RULED I've already talked about my affinity for Warriors games but this one was the peak of that experience for me. It felt good to play, there was a pretty solid roster of characters, the progression was level-based, AND it had secret weapons. It was fucking great. AND on the PS2?? Truly a goated system. Also, having playing Dynasty Warriors 5 again,…
As I've mentioned a few times, I've been watching a lot of King of the Hill lately. We're watching the revival in the discord right now and it's also great, too! I have sort of dim memories of some episodes from when I was a kid, but I can tell you very specifically that the fire ant episode really turned me off the show for a while. Bobby getting mesmerized or whatever by the queen ant was…
