Some people in their 20s get married. Some have kids. Some buy a house. Some people start a fancy new job. Some travel across the world.
Some people have a everything blow up in their face. What I am now calling having their “Life Exploded™️”
Welcome to the Life Explosion™️ Restoration.prj
Rebuilding my life one uncompleted project at a time.
sorry about all the mean things i said when i was right
it's kinda scary how you can just be tired all the time forever
I really miss video games based on movies that just came out
I really miss video games where me and my sister could play the games “incorrectly” and just fuck around with mechanics to do our own shit
I really miss games that aren’t farming sims
I really miss old Nintendo games that were just as fun multi player as they were single player
I really miss video games I could get lost nuzzlocking myself without it being a Pokémon game.
I miss having fun stupid games I didn’t need 6 people to have a similar schedule for.
Idk man. I just miss getting a ds game every year I got good grades. My dad would take me and my sister to game stop for straight As and we could get any game we wanted. And I miss weird platform/open world concepts way greater than the Wii could hold.
I just… I do appreciate what gaming has become. I really do. But I really really miss what video games were like when I was a kid.
Some faves:
Lego Star Wars - PS2
Back at the Barnyard - PS2
Starfy - DS (?)
Kirby Epic Yarn - Wii
Toy Story 3 - Wii
Shrek 2 - PS2
Robots - PS2
Pictogram - DSi
Nintendo Dogs - DS(?)
A million more. I just miss these kind of games. I miss something different from what’s popular right now.
Count the Rice was incredible.
I recreated the player’s experience by accidentally getting too drunk while watching.
Got too nauseous from all the rooms and threw up.

Being worried about your job prospects while in a pool does help you mental health
If you’ve spent the last weekend arguing with people over Baran and Robbie’s confrontation in the final ep of the Pitt I am begging you to read this:
We are, once again, blaming individuals for systemic problems.
Was robby an asshole that entire day? Yes. Literally see my other posts where I’ve said I think the consequences for those actions are going to be a big part of season 3.
So do not get me wrong here. We all have a responsibility for how we move in this world BUT that scene is once again showing us the systematic failures of the world we live in through the lens of the health care system.
Baran strives for equality and equity in her entire career.
Robby as his speeches show, cares for these things too but is hardened and has given up fighting against a system that crushes him daily.
But Robby is right. If Baran showed up as a patient who is a doctor with these symptoms to the ER, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPORT HER. They have had to do the same for older people doing less! Which we saw in this season and is no accident.
And Baran shared this information because in an equitable society you could share disability information with a coworker and not have to totally lose your job and credibility.
But the Pitt is constantly reminding us we do not live in an equitable society.
If we did, there would be a focus on curing ailments and not profiting on maintaince pharmaceuticals and stopping there.
If we did, we would not have an overly individualized car dependent society that punishes those who cannot drive their own vehicle.
If we did, you could share medical information about yourself without fear of dismal under capitalist standards and ideals.
It’s not that Baran is evil for working. She even said she had been cleared and has her drivers license. She is trying to do everything you’re supposed to be safe and still work. But in the way our healthcare system works (and work cultures at large) a lawsuit is more of a concern than the grey area of this kind of diagnosis. Health is grey and complicated and doesn’t fit in boxes, but we have a “you’re disabled and therefore cannot pass go” kind of system.
She would not be in this situation if working environments were adaptive and if her very existence in that hospital did not pose a threat to her employer.
She would not be in this situation if our federal government spent money on researching all illnesses and ailments instead of following financial directives and health as business.
And in a perfect world she could disclose this information to coworkers, patients, and employers without jeopardizing her lively hood. Which she needs because she we live do live late stage capitalism.
Robby isn’t being an ableist dick any more than the systems we all function under are ableist dicks. We just are so fucking used to and (beaten down under them) that we see them as normal. Robby as an individual isn’t the “issue” here any more than he is for the prison system or homelessness or incels or any other large scale problem patients have represented.
He is a representation of the complexities of health care in this fucked up world. Begging you to see beyond characters as someone you might or might not hang out with. For every bit they are recreations of real people they are also a means for creators to explore themes.
We are falling into what we beg people in the real world to realize. And if we can’t see the bigger picture in a tv show how will we ever see or get others to see it in our real world?
Rewatching the Pitt and with the cast announcement for season 3, I feel it should be said again
a book should be $5 a little drink should be $2 and museum access should be free and all hours
Rare to see moss growing on glass.
Wow finishing a 447 page book in less than 24 hours non consecutively ?? We are so back. Someone get me to a library I’m gonna win us a pizza party
Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things
It’s me. I’m back. I know everyone missed me. I am in the breaking out of my chrysalis part of things. I was in there for a bit. Apologies for the chrysalis related absence.
Basically it’s been about a year since my life throughly exploded. In some ways, it was no one one’s fault. In others, it was. And, it was very much thrust upon me against my will, best efforts, and dedication. And I was undeniably very very hurt in the process.
The most fair thing to say is that : I was on a path that dwindled with every step. My denial growing with each foot forward. And suddenly
That path was just no longer an option.
It took a lot of grief. And a lot of heartbreak. Betrayal. Loss. Anger. Screaming. All of it.
All of which I still feel every damn day. But it also took a lot of reckoning with how unfit my path truly was to get where I am now.
Which is here.
That’s where I am now.
I am here.
In the present moment.
Living in what is meaningful and driving for me. Living in what’s in front and behind but most importantly— my own path.
Today is a culmination of that. So here’s to me. Here’s to all of us who had a curve ball thrown in our 9th hour, totally unprepared for a life different than what we had planned. It was not what we wanted.
But we took it and made it what we wanted.
What we needed.
And what we hope to be.
We are braver than what people know
We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for
I would never wish it on another, but if you too find yourself unexpectedly in a place to start over, may yours be filled with love, support, growth, and may your next life be full of more.
Whatever it is you want, may yours have more.
May you know you are not ever alone. Life is not linear. And we are just in the “fun fact” “last dollar” “sleeping on a couch” part of our story.
The part people tell about moments before greatness.
We are among good company my friends. So may I share with you, my very favorite saying.
It is what I tell myself with every eyelash, toast, shooting star, and candle-
To better and brighter, my friends
To better and brighter
what doesn’t kill you makes your nervous system more sensitive for the rest of your life
Born to do video essays
Made to just write the script :(
I love that weighted blankets work. Oh your nervous system thinks you’re being hunted in a Most Dangerous Game like scenario? Crush yourself. It’ll feel great.
