So how does that lead to so then there’s only negative things to say? It is, once again, not out yet. I’m starting to dislike being in any community around games, because everyone appears to just hate games. It’s exhausting.

Why are y’all so damn negative? Every thread I’ve seen on here about Starfield has been like this. It’s not even out yet, god damn

The Empire dissolved in 1776 into stateless enclaves led by Councils of Friends

Re-reading Hyperion by Dan Simmons. I read it as a teenager the first time, and I wonder if I’ll get something different out of it in my 30s now. I’m also reading Heart of Dominance by Anton Fulmen along with my wife. More of a book for them than me, but it still has good information to glean regardless. If I want to include graphic novels, I also just finished Sunstone. It was sweet and entertaining.

I just got my rejection email for the job at the beginning of the week. Thank you, by the way! I’m proud of myself too for getting through several rounds of interviews despite my brain screaming to not step outside. I’ll try again when they do another hiring round in November, I suppose. Maybe I’ll get lucky the second try?

That’s incredibly sweet of you, alas I am in Canada and also would feel guilty because I don’t know how to accept gifts or kindness lol

It’s been pretty awful, sadly. As Neil Gaiman says, “Events are cowards. They come in packs.” It’s been one blow after another all week, and I don’t think I can handle any more bad news.

While this is awful, I feel like I’m missing something? This article was published August 25, 2022. Did something change for this to be making the rounds again almost a year later?

I applied for a great job that I’m definitely not qualified for, and I’m through the first two rounds of interviews. I didn’t even think I’d go to the first interview purely because of my agoraphobia, so I’m proud of myself for pushing through it.

I’ve had a great week, for the most part. Making progress on my mental health through very unconventional means, and feeling happier for a change. Possible job interview this coming Saturday, so we’ll see on that front. Health issues have prevented me from working for a while now, and I’m anxious about returning to the job market.

Lol, is that the best they’ve got for us? I call myself worse things in the mirror. Mutant just makes me feel cool and interesting.

A bit better than usual lately, which is nice. Getting some PR photos today to finally get my IDs updated since my name change certificate arrived! I will finally be rid of my dead name!

Also started working on my first leather working project this week. While it’s rough and I’m missing a couple of tools to finish it well, I’m happy to be learning a new skill.

All in all, a good week, which is a nice change of pace.
