ghoulmouse: ([Bloodborne] Hunter's Nightmare)
I...really want to be doing stuff, but the combination of picking up more work in the isekai mines and trying not to have this cosplay come down to the absolute wire is just eating up all my time. I feel like I can't do any projects outside of the stuff I committed to before I decided to make this costume, and I can't play any games that require, like...thought. Of course, this means I distract myself a lot with games that are pretty mindless and thus I can put them down whenever and start working, honest.

I've been playing Torchlight 2 again, because it's peak mindless, and...man, you know how people say a book has "workmanlike prose"? Torchlight 2 is that but for video games. It is absolutely the most unambitious game I have ever played. It adequately checks all the boxes and isn't interesting enough to actually be bad, so it's easy to just kind of plow through it with zero thoughts.

I tried to revisit the original Torchlight as well, but for some reason the game (and only that game) made my computer start producing a high-pitched noise whenever the window was focused. Nothing else happened but it made me nervous so I uninstalled it without playing, lol.

Have been slowly working on crossposting and making a Personal Website and...god I cannot overstate how much I hate a lot of my old writing. I keep being tempted to orphan it. A lot of it is for fandoms I'm still into, because my interests have apparently barely changed since the 90s, so I'm tempted to write "replacements".

I also keep running across author's notes like "definitely going to write a sequel!" or "major edits forthcoming!" and like. Girl. Did you seriously think that was gonna happen. Be real.
