She / Her I enjoy astronomy, fossil hunting, photography, miniature painting, video and tabletop gaming, and raising caterpillars. I love horror / found footage movies, and I am an avid reader. Trans. Furry. Autistic.
I have zero complaints about the base game and the other dlc, and I don't want this to be construed that way. But Cost of Hope is giving me amazing OG stalker vibes. Very creepy. Very rewarding of exploration. And I am just so happy that Mavka exists.
I was finally able to afford a new model. Super excited to have found it at the local shop, and can't wait to paint it.
I took this screenshot on January 30th of this year. I thought, what is this thing? It kind of looks like a fallout power armor head. Today, in Cost of Hope, I found out what it actually is. Ooof, man. (Also, I had to scroll through 22,000+ screenshots to find that one from January.)
So, stalker 2 cost of hope is pretty incredible so far. And the 2.0 upgrade is a miracle. The game looks better even at my regular settings, and I was able to crank the settings up, so it's more efficient too. Plus, the qol improvements are fantastic. This is just really, really great.
Stalker 2 - Cost of Hope got me all like: (And this was right beside the velocitaptor containment area too)
Opened the Sisters of Battle subreddit to see what other people are doing with the army and the first two things I see are catgirl sisters, and Trans Flag Wings Celestine. Nature is healing.
I feel a lot of things very, very strongly. Many of them, perhaps most of them, are unpleasant. But I feel joy and wonder just as strongly, and even if it's rare, when that happens, it makes it all worthwhile.
People trying to do mothing during the eclipse today is easily the best thing I have seen in 2026. Team moth forever.

What can lead to an autistic meltdown? What does it feel like from the inside? "I need time & quiet to calm down before I can think properly, & every new demand is just prolonging how long that will take." Sonny Hallett @scrappapertiger.bsky.social, at TPGA. thinkingautismguide.com/2019/03/melt...
The Meltdown: How Autistic Humans Experience Crises
A meltdown is a reaction to difficulty & stress that is normal to autistic ways of being, but not nearly well enough understood by others.

This is a cool thing that exists. (The colors in this picture are weird because I'm too lazy to move somewhere with better light.)
I finished Dan Abnett's novel "Hive" today. It was the 100th Warhammer 40k book I've read. Abnett was amazing as always, and I particularly loved the autistic coded character Theophania DeNoon. Highly recommended.
Some photos from 7-25-26. A Ringlet, a Wood Nymph, A Wood Satyr, and a Carrot Seed Moth.

Really anxious today. Having trouble getting started with everything, straight out of bed. I think it's left over exhaustion and anxiety from yesterday, but as always, it's hard to pin down. I'm taking some time outside in my chair, ear plugs deployed, trying to relax before work
Omg, we finally got binoculars. I'm really, really excited to return to the zone. youtu.be/l5BwA-OUyNY?...

It's national moth week. So, I just thought I would say, I love moths.
During my walk today, I saw 16 species of butterflies and 2 species of clearwing hummingbird moths. What a lovely day. Picture to come later.
