The State of Me

🎵 I'm continuing to play Wandersong, but slowly, as it requires me to concentrate on reading text and occasional platforming. It's still adorable and positive with a bittersweet edge.

🎮 ~~I've hit a wall~~ WALL IS STOP in Baba is You right now, I feel like I'm simultaneously stuck on four different levels in Rocket Trip. "Empty" is doing my head in. Even the two hint guides I use aren't helping.

🧠 I'm not in a great place emotionally right now, for various reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture.

📖 One more week of study to go! Even though I feel like I'm putting infinitely more effort in, my grades so far have been only marginally better than my undergrad. Oh well, at least I'm passing. And I've dropped to two units for next semester, so hopefully I'll have time for fun things again.

In what feels like a symbol of our times, I typed "fun" into OSX's emoji search and the first one it suggested was ⚰️.

💥 It feels like four separate fandoms have exploded or reached a Dramatic Finale in one way or another in the last couple of months, and I'm not in any of them*. Hope you're all doing okay (as much as possible)!

* Not even MCU, I decided it was better for my enjoyment of the characters to stop watching Avengers films after Age of Ultron. I'll probably watch Captain Marvel at some point though.

💻 Dreamwidth made a change to their style system (I think) that broke some of the colours in the layout I use (Fruit Salad by renoir for Leftovers)... I could easily fix it in my custom CSS but then it would override the colour picker in the customizer, which feels morally wrong. But it's been so long I can't remember how to modify styles to fix it myself. Alas.

🍪 I really want chocolate chip cookies... If I get ever get this assignment done I think I'll try out this recipe from Cook's Illustrated / Brown Eyed Baker.
