  • I’m deeply skeptical of any and all utopian ideas. They have this mysterious tendency to wander down paths to authoritarianism because we, as a species, are more defined by our ideas of who and what we are than by anything else in our existence.

    When an idea becomes an ideal, people become willing to kill or die in attempts to bring that ideal to fruition, no matter how vain.

    In fact, this is how I self-edit my own beliefs about the world and myself. “If the cards were all really on the table, would I be willing to proudly die in defense of this idea?” If the answer is yes, then I cling to that as an ideal that I strive toward.

    All human lives matter equally.
    It is important to lift up those who have less than I do.
    Any small effort to alleviate the suffering of my fellow humans is meaningful.
    There is always hope.

    That is the utopia I choose to live in deliberately every day, and what I appreciate most is that it is resilient to the whims and chaos of this world that I can’t control.


  • I’m mildly obsessed with HK lol. I only got it in Dec 2022 and I just beat The Radiance for the first time a few weeks ago. I can’t seem to manage it a second time, so I literally just bought the game on Steam and got an Xbox controller because it’s more responsive than my Switch. I’m not sure what happened to my life haha

    (Still waiting for someone to get my reference though. Not HK related :)







  • I’m not a gamer.

    I beat the original Contra on NES and I’ve barely played anything ever except the first Animal Crossing and AC:NH during the pandemic.

    I picked up Hollow Knight for Christmas last year and it’s the first game I’ve played to completion in literally 35 years. I just got [no spoilers] ending with 105% completion like two weeks ago.

    I can’t begin to convey how much I love this game. It’s definitely what I’m (still) playing this week.
