Resisting the urge to wait until I know exactly what I want to say before saying anything.
Spent the day on the couch playing Dave the Diver which I did not like at first, but which I think gets better, and watching Christmas movies. It’s a rare treat to get to spend a weekend day doing basically nothing, by which I mean doing only what sounds nice in a relaxing manner.
Speaking of Christmas movies, I watched 8-Bit Christmas for the first time, and it ended up being deeply touching. I cried. I think the premise is maybe a 6/10, but the execution has a lot of heart. If it sounds even remotely like something you might enjoy, it has my stamp of recommendation.
With two weeks left in the Year of Time, I’ve got one last cut to make. It’s time to say goodbye to comic books. I’ve done a terrible job of keeping up with them since I picked the hobby back up in May 2022, and rather than let them slowly continue to pile up in the living room I’m going to wind it down so that I can focus more on my keystone hobby goals for 2024. This Tyranid army isn’t going to paint itself.
It’s pretty clear that I still have at least three major time-sink hobbies, and I estimate that I could probably keep up with maybe two of them. One of the following probably needs to go:
- Warhammer 40K (unlikely)
- TTRPGs (unlikely)
- Lorcana (… possibly.)
Lorcana doesn’t take up that much time at the moment, because in practice I don’t actually play it. I’m collecting cards on the chance that a future version of me decides it’s more fun than the other options currently taking up that time. There exists a future version of me who wishes the current version of me were doing this, and until I’m certain I won’t become that person it’s cheap insurance. But I fully acknowledge I’m not actually doing anything with the cards at the moment.
