I think my favorite thing about MS Windows is when you can’t do anything with a file or folder because “it is open in another program,” but it won’t say which program.
That’s the best!

Substitute Writer: Autumn Christian
This week’s been rough. I’d like to share one of my all-time favorite essays with you. It’s called “The Routine Boredom of Misery,” and it’s about joy. Normally I would put an excerpt here to entice you, but I can’t pick just one part. Believe me, I’ve tried. Every sentence of this thing carries weight; every paragraph leans on the ones before and after it for support; every point builds on what’s already been said while simultaneously setting up what comes next. Just read the whole thing, it’s not that long.
Then, if you like it, read some more!
Joy and health to all of you.

Why Am I Like This, pt. XV
Me: The Palworld type system needs fixing.1
Nobody:
- I’m sorry, but it’s just so dumb! The “basic five” circle of 💧-🔥-🌿-🪨-⚡ is fine–don’t fix what ain’t broken and all that–but then they have this weird little…dongle off to the side. Fire gets two advantages for no apparent reason, neutral is objectively the worst, the relationship between dragon and dark makes no sense, and all the other coolest types from Pokemon (like ghost and psychic) just get lumped in with dark. Ugh. ↩︎

My Favorite Candy
I love gummies, I am a huge sucker for tiny versions of regular things, and I am delighted by novelty. Other candies never stood a chance.
They used to be sold in the US under the Wonka brand, but for some reason they were discontinued here. Now I have to have them shipped from the UK to get my fix…

In Case You Were Wondering
I don’t know how many of you have looked at my Music page, but if you have you may be wondering why I haven’t updated my “currently listening” playlist in a while.
Did I forget about it? Have I been too busy?
Nope! The reason I haven’t updated it is because I’ve just been listening to the same thing over and over again for the last three weeks.
(The Deltarune soundtrack, if you’re curious. The OST for chapters 3 + 4 is particularly good!)
