Okay I like Stardew Valley a lot but the inclusion of fishing and the target goal of catching various specific kinds of fish was a mistake. Doing the same thing over and over and hoping the RNG is beneficent isn't very fun.

But what if: a game where if you were too aggressively trying to put Friendship Coins into someone they'd get uncomfortable and try to get you to stop because that's actually super creepy.

So many romance quests in games feel like picking out what car you want to take home from the dealership, and it's super gross and not actually very fun.

But what if: a videogame where the romance options are actually non-deterministic. No matter how many friendship coins you put in, she's maybe just not actually into you. And it's random and baked into each save file.

...so now I have a spare 8x10 frame and a painting that still needs to be framed.

Today I learned that an 8x10 flat canvas doesn't actually fit in an 8x10 frame.

Keep getting stuck in this indecision paralysis where I know I should be keeping some sort of notes for tracking/processing some MH stuff, but I keep not being able to pick a good medium and thus don't actually have anything logged.

A paper notebook feels like it'd be best, but the act of physically writing things with a pen is super aversive to me. But I also can't think of any good way to organize things digitally...

Filing under Lessons Learned: spray glue really *should* be used outside.

Update: I went to an art supplies store and it was a magical place.

I don't want my life to have forms of expression inaccessible to me because I was too afraid to make something bad.

For a long time I've thought of myself as being bad at creating visual art and music. Like it's just not something I can get good at without putting in way more effort than I'm actually willing to spend.

But y'know what, fuck that. I don't want whole creative media to just be inaccessible forever. I'm gonna try to make stuff.

Even if it's bad for a while. Even if it's bad forever. I've got time to learn and improve even if it's slow.

I'm really glad to hear it :)

I bought some Newman's Own peach salsa because it looked like the best thing the small grocery store had.

This was a mistake.

It tastes like peach jelly with a hint of spicy tomato. Way, way too sweet. 3/10 would not salsa again.

turns out sprinkling on a little cayenne and paprika makes mediocre frozen pizza a whole lot better.

Oh I forgot to attribute this.

Artist was Battershell at True Love tattoo. I had a really pleasant experience.
