I had a very sleepy day today. My sleep schedule has been like, moderately bad the past week, but not as bad as it used to be. I have been going to bed around 2-3 am and only getting like 7 hours of sleep so my head kind of hurts even as I type this now. On the brighter side, I have been playing and enjoying a lot of video games as of late. The two games I am actively playing through right now are Cereza and the Lost Demon and Psychonauts 2, both of which are incredible. I have been playing less tf2, but will probably start back up when the smissmass event is in full swing. The Binding of Isaac co-op came out recently but I have not tried it yet, as I have already played a good deal of co-op through parsec and steam remote play, and it seems as though this official online co-op does not support using mods, which is basically a dealbreaker for me, as I have worked on and off with a friend of mine for a few years making a custom mod for the game, replacing a lot of visuals and audio. Playing the game without that mod enabled is surreal with how many hours I have logged with the mod on.
I also played dress to impress recently on roblox for the first time. I had never played it before, but saw it on a few streams and it looked really fun, so I finally tried it out and I think I cooked some killer looks. It was fun and I will probably play it again at some point. Also disclaimer, I do not play much roblox, I am 25 years old. Although if you are 25 and play a lot of roblox, no judgement from me, I just don't.
Been hesitant about mentioning this at all because I do not think many people will like this take, but I tried playing half life 2 for the first time last week and I really did not enjoy my time with it. I never played any of the half life games growing up, so I have no nostalgia for the series. I tried HL1 when it was free on steam and liked it a little but had some issues with it and ultimately only played about 3 hours. With half life 2 however, I kind of disliked it way more and almost all of my time with the game was begrudging, so I have put the game down for good, as there is no point to try and power through it. I got to the part with the car, got the rocket launcher, and will never touch it again. I am truly sorry to all the half life fans that I have the wrong opinion here, and I have nothing but respect for your series.

I have never used social media of any kind so I am extremely unfamiliar with the sensation of interacting with strangers online. The last "mmo" type games I ever played if you can really even call them that were wizards 101 and club penguin back in my childhood, so even that did not prep me much. That being said, I want to extend a profuse and sincere thank you to everyone who has commented, followed, or even just viewed this site. I have had such astounding positivity from everyone who has engaged with this site and I am very grateful to the kind people on this platform. There are so many talented people here with breathtaking and staggeringly impressive sites, so the fact that people have taken the time to visit and comment on my site is very appreciated. I have basically finished getting most of my current publicly available content uploaded to this site, with a few things in the works to come once they are uploaded publicly. Since that is the case, I can probably start dedicating some time to figuring out how to make the site look a little less barebones visually, as everything is rather basic right now. I don't really have any distinct plans or ideas for the site though, so I can't promise anything soon.
I think that's all for today.
