  • I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. I had used Xbox gamepass for a long time when it was really cheap. You could upgrade a regular subscription to gamepass for a dollar. That went up after a while by a little bit but stayed the same service wise.

    They recently changed it to where you can convert, but they reduce your subscription time. It’s annoying because I want to use gamepass as a rental service, but if I do that, they convert your entire account to gamepass and reduce your overall time for their regular online services (which is a whole other can of worms)

    I’m debating if it’s worth it right now. I’ve experienced a lot of games i likely wouldn’t try, because of the service. I’ve gotta go through and calculate all the games I’ve played and the price associated.

    I already buy most games when they’re on a 60% or more discount. I’m wondering if I should/could just stop most of my purchases… There’s a lot of older titles I’ve always wanted to play.

    I’m torn because I don’t really spend money on anything else. Maybe some food or treats. It’s weird because I’m in this middle zone where I can technically save up for some luxury items, but too poor to save for anything actually significant. So it kind of feels like I’m just perpetually stuck on a hamster wheel. I’ve been trying to figure out how I can either work less or earn more because right now it’s really getting hard to justify just working to exist. It just feels oddly pointless

    I feel like the carrot(media and consumption) is getting dangled in front of my face. I chase it in order to feel better about my situation, but it’s just a band aid for larger systemic issues that I don’t know how to fix. Without consumption, I am nothing (which is extremely sad and messed up now that I think about it.) Any major goals or milestones are just a dream and consumption is the escape from the reality.















  • I finally finished persona 3 reload. I skipped part of the DLC because more dungeons sounded like torture at that point. But otherwise it was great.

    I started playing blue prince and then, after a few hours, realized the name was a play on words for blueprints. Doh. It’s been interesting. I am kind of getting a bit tired of the RNG of filling out the house, but I’m getting enough progress made to keep me going.

    I’ve also been playing the oblivion remake, and it’s been a lot of fun! It’s like the ratatouille meme while playing. It’s nice. Oddly cozy


  • I’m recovering from a cold, which is nice. As much as it feels bad, it feels great knowing each day is going to improve. I’ve been trying to find a cosy slice of life manga or something to read the past while. I feel like I should be reading more!

    I’ve been playing the oblivion remake. It’s nice to revisit the game after so long. It’s cool because although I put in hundreds of hours in as a kid, I don’t remember a lot of it now. So it’s exciting to have my memory jolted every once an a while lol
