Playing Star Wars: Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 has me thinking about something.

Star Wars is one of those big media franchises (like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Trek, Doctor Who, etc) that I never really got into, despite several attempts to try to.

I like it, but I don't love it with fervor like others do. Everybody will talk a lot about that franchise, while I have no major interest. Thus I feel like an outcast.

I don't know if that's a shared sentiment, or I'm just weird

Retired my dad's old PC that was a ticking time bomb with a new laptop. And the journey to get it working was kinda annoying.

Using Edge to install Firefox, importing all of my dad's old bookmarks and passwords, uninstalling Copilot and other bloatware...

I love modern computers!!!!!!!!

family, mh (-) 

today is what would've been my mom's 62nd birthday.

she passed away almost a decade ago, and every time May to June rolls around, I feel incredibly sad.

I miss her so dearly. I hope she would've been proud of how much I've grown as a person.

yeah, my music pool playlist is chaotic

from conventional classic rock standards, to guitar instrumentals, to the theme from Law & Order

basically don't pass me the aux cord

Thanks to @arielmt, Today I learned that Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing was on the Commodore 64

*and* one of the modes is a racing game of sorts

Educational titles got pretty wild back then, didn't they?

reinstalled Quake 3 to check out some mods and maps, and as I kept playing, I came to a realization

I think I'm more an Unreal Tournament kind of gal

PSA: Using "female" as a noun to refer to someone, as in "a female," "that female," or "those females," makes you sound like a Ferengi.

New Secret Area post: It's RTC-3057 for Doom.

When the Doom source code lead to cool stuff ZDoom, people were doing some pretty damn wild things, including this mod that echoed elements of Doom 3.

Likes, shares, and comments appreciated, as always.
