One thing that tipped me into thinking I might be autistic is that I have always felt like an alien. I talked about it with an online friend who is autistic, and I said those exact words. “I felt like an alien when I was a kid.” At the time, I thought it was just… Continue Reading
I want to talk more about weapon forms because I can. Here was yesterday’s post on the same subject. When I decided to teach myself the Double Fan Form, I naively thought that it wouldn’t be too difficult. After all, I taught the Fan Form to myself with relative ease. Well, that’s not exactly correct.… Continue Reading
A few days ago, I wrote a post about how I’ve pared down my daily Taiji/Bagua routine. For the past year or so, I had been feeling a bit of a slight drag when I did my morning routine. Instead of looking forward to and being eager to do it every morning (well, really afternoon,… Continue Reading
I’m still playing Tiny Bookshop (neoludic games), and I have more to say about it. I left off part one by saying this is the perfect small bites game; I still think it is. I also said that I had several small complaints, and I want to expand on that a bit. First, though, I… Continue Reading
I’ve been on a cozy game kick for the last few weeks. I’m just done with hard games. It’s taken me quite a while to realize that I don’t really like ‘hard’ games for a variety of reasons. I play FromSoft games for the exploration, the exquisite level design, and for the lore. I suffer… Continue Reading
I have played several demos this year, and I’ve really enjoyed it. I have played a few meaty games, too–well, at least one–and by the time I was done with it,I was exhausted. There have been several soulslikes this year, and I have been very reluctant to play them. Not only because I don’t actually… Continue Reading
I have been taking a break from long, grueling, HARD games beacuse I’m just done with them right now. Instead, I’m playing a bunch of casual games and a few indie games to cleanse my palate. One thing I have always appreciated about casual games (and now indie games) is that they always/usually (respectively) have… Continue Reading
I have been doing my Taiji/Bagua routine every morning (well, early afternoon because I don’t get up in the morning), and I have slowly been adding to it in the last decade. It’s amusing to me that I couldn’t force myself to do five minutes of practice when I first started studying Taiji. For whatever… Continue Reading
I’ve been talking in the past several posts about my family, and here is something I rarely admit out loud. One of the reasons I get so frustrated when my mother goes down the negativity route is becuase it echoes the monkey chatter in my brain as well. I can ‘what if’ until the cows… Continue Reading
I’m back with one more post about family. Here is yesterday’s post in which I talked about how sad my father’s life is now. I feel a little bad for him, but at the same time, it’s the logical consequence of his previous behavior/attitude. It’s something I contemplate from time to time because my parents… Continue Reading
