Playing on easy mode. Gaming 🎮 Crochet 🧶 Reading 📚

I’ve been busy removing myself from Meta products. Data was downloaded & everything is scheduled for deletion.🎉 I hate what FB + Insta became & are becoming. I will however miss all the wonderful connections I made on them. Social media is great because of people & that seems to have been lost.

We have tiles like this in our bathroom and when i’m in the shower or bath I love to relax my eyes and brain and find characters in the pattern. There is a fox with a cape, a t-rex, yoda, mythical birds, deers, tigers and an owl. Every time I discover something new.

I’m exhausted from managing cat relations Girl cat doesn’t like Stray 1 or Stray 2 Stray 1 doesn’t like Stray 2 Stray 2 is on edge because he is the most hated for unknown reasons Tabby boy is unproblematic Ginger boy is pissed at having meds which is fair

Our female cat will generally ignore you if you talk to her & will happily do her own thing. However if I start recording a voice note to a friend she will be on me within 30 seconds. Tonight she was ignoring me & hiding under a chair so I pretended to do a voice note. She came over immediately!

I’m taking a gamble & have bought my non reading brother a book for Xmas. He recently really enjoyed a tv adaption of one of the authors books that was true to the book. So I have bought him the first book in a series that this author said will never be adapted. 🤞🏻 he might give it a go.

You really just need to give the right book to a non-reader. That's the hard part. Knowing which one will hook them.

I played The Exit 8 today 2 months after reading the book & I was completely engrossed by it. For such a simple short game it pulls you in completely & several times I felt very on edge as I navigated that subway station corridor. One of my fav gaming experiences for sure. #gaming #indiegames

I devoured Exit 8 in one day so here is the latest square on my book blanket to represent it. #booktok #crochet

Banjo fan here. Banjo Kazooie is one of the best 3D platformers I’ve ever played. A top 3 N64 game for me. Few games like it. I am perfectly fine without a new game in this era of layoffs and corporate meddling. There are tons of other games I can play anyways.

Game studios shouldn't be allowed to have an "ultimate edition" if it doesn't include all future DLC. "Ultimate" literally means "the greatest extreme: maximum" As in EVERYTHING. Releasing an Ultimate Edition then releasing new stuff that isn't in it? False advertising, far as I'm concerned.

Book 23 of 2026 is ‘Kindred’ by Octavia E. Butler. I watched the series based on this book last month and it ended on a cliff hanger. Then they cancelled it 😞 Apparently the series covers about a 3rd of the book so I’m looking forward to finding out what happened. #BookSky

It turns out you feel less fatigued if you can breathe properly! I have had on and off sinus issues for 2 years or so and currently i’m on some meds for it. I can now breathe properly through my nose again. 🎉 My energy levels are so vastly different because of this. Existing feels easier.

I have finally finished Gone For Good. This is the longest it has taken me to finish one of Coben’s book. Partly that was down to the last two weeks being super stressful but I also didn’t love the characters in this one. Anyway here it is with it’s finished square #BookSky #crochet

The book Gone for Good by Harlan Coben lies next to it’s matching crochet granny square on a book blanket. The square is made up of dark green, mint green, light blue and coral.

I wanted to buy my friend 7 books for their Birthday but I can’t afford that so I tried to source them second hand to see if that would make them more affordable. It didn’t! The second hand books were the same price as new from Waterstones! WTF is going on?

I feel that if game developers cannot count on keeping a job after a game ships they should at least get residuals. To me this is a moderate position.

I love all my friends and family born in September but I’m a bit fed up of writing birthday cards and wrapping gifts now. It’s like Birthday Christmas and far too close to Christmas where I will be doing this process all over again very soon.

It is never too late to start wearing a mask A well fitted respirator like an N95 provides excellent protection against Covid and other airborne viruses With healthcare cuts and public health in shambles, we should all do our part to help each other If you can’t afford them… look for a mask bloc!

The best time to start masking was in 2020. The best time to resume is right now.

I’ve been scratching my head as to why I received an e-mail saying our custom domain e-mail addresses had been disabled. It baffled me because I had set it all up correctly. Turns out someone who shall not be named reset everything with the domain provider. All my work was erased! It’s now fixed.
