New on the Secret Area: I did a little weekend writing about replaying BioShock 2 through the Remastered Collection, and how it's surprisingly better than I thought it was.

Saw it happen again where someone posted a toot I had sent to someone else.
Am I hallucinating or something
woke up and thought of the silliest idea:
"why don't I write about stuff on the weekends about games I've been playing, or something."
I look at this as a positive in two ways: I get to actually tackle my backlog, and I get to keep writing something consistently.
Even if I don't publish every weekend, I should write about *something*.
loneliness, social anxiety (-)
lately I've been staying up late too often, which leads me to watching videos/streams and listening to music. most often by myself.
There's friends who I wanna talk to but they're asleep. and I'm usually asleep or too tired in the day to really talk to them.
I need to fix this more than anything else. social anxiety is the worst.
music nerdery, loudness war
I ripped most of Eric Clapton's August album. I already had two tracks off that album from a later Clapton compilation.
I re-ripped those tracks, honestly expecting no major differences. Turns out the compilation was a victim of that "loudness war" bullshit and was louder than the original release.
Granted, these aren't really a concern considering I use ReplayGain on everything, but it likely means a better sound in the long run.
gender (~)
There's so many things about this journey/exploration that are just... scary to me.
Exploring who I am is scary. Figuring out where I land on the identity spectrum is a process that stresses me out. Transition is a big deal and it makes me worry.
I praise those who eventually figured out who they are, and made those steps to becoming who they really want to be.
Maybe that'll be me some day, but it's tough to get through when I'm scared like this.
