As a father I can see that my parents were doing the best with the skills they had, but the boy within me rages none the less so I must strike a balance. None of this is sufficient so when it is overwhelming I dive into a story or a game when not spending time with my family. I don't want to repeat the same mistakes as my parents. This is mostly just shower thoughts, hopefully it sounds cohesive.

I expect it will be quite stressful overall but I go through the motions for my daughter to have some form of a relationship with her grandparents. Work has been incredibly stressful recently but the break will be nice at least.

It really is an amazing game mode and it taught me so much more about the game. Learning how to achieve whatever goal I am going for within my restrictions is always enjoyable. At this point though I am in a lull and might pause the game for quite some time. I am purely in the endgame now and my goals are thousands of hours away and starting on anything else feels like a waste of time. I enjoyed the time I spent with it even if this is the end of the road for me.

Just got to my third planet and getting a hang of interstellar logistics.

dotdev LinkI came here from that post myself, so far so good. Excited to see it grow and evolve.I came here from that post myself, so far so good. Excited to see it grow and evolve.
After binging through all of Tokyo Ghoul and the sequel manga :re I was pretty emotionally exhausted. It was really enjoyable and I do plan on reading the author's next manga Choujin X but I felt like I needed something a bit more positive to bounce back from that last ride.
I decided upon picking up the original Dragon Ball since I had only ever read the sequels. I knew most of the story but going from the beginning was a blast. I just wrapped it up and I am probably going to continue through all of Z.
I have some other nice active ones I am churning through as they come out with the highlights being Kagurabachi and Ichi the Witch.
