Vol. 54 - Why is it so Hot
Some fun links and a lot of good games I've been playing lately.
You don’t need to tell me the answer, I already know. But I’m not happy about it! It’s mid-September, and I know for a fact Colorado is going to skip Fall and head straight to Winter.
On to the stuff.
Interesting Stuff
Tamaweb
It’s tamagotchi but in your browser/phone! Cute. Now they can die and stress you out without the need for a second device!
Hollywood Has an Influencer Problem
Film Cooper’s editing style can be…an acquired taste, but his latest video on how influencers have been colliding against the film industry is really interesting and a great watch!
The Universal Hint System
A site that helps you progress in various games! The hints it gives increase in depth each time you ask for a solution, so you can get a nudge or shove in the right direction based on your choosing.
Planted Recently
I wish I had more to show in this section lately! I have not had deep thoughts that can translate to long-form posts — I think it is mostly the exhaustion, lmao. And when I do write it’s been for my long-term story I’ve been working on.
I have something cooking in my brain, but said brain is currently fried. Hoping to get something out soon!

Status Update
Honestly feeling great! Enjoying time with my friends, and even though I’m not feeling super creative, there’s been a deluge of great media for me to chomp on and excite and energize me again.
Plus I finally started making music again!!! It was tough ramping back up on a new OS with a new DAW, but I feel pretty good about FL Studio! It’ll be slow going making new tracks at first, but I’m excited to work on my mediocre-but-fun music again.
