I think I realize something. I only ever seem to want to write when I’m depressed. That seems to be a common thing now that I think about it. Lots of blogs online serve as little spots to vent. Sometimes these are maintained but often they eventually fall into disrepair and abandoned. I feel so anxious when I stumble across things like that. I think that’s what makes discovering old content so unnerving. It feels almost like that person is dead because they haven’t posted or have deleted the content.

However, licensing keeps me away from stuff like Netflix and Hulu because it seems like anytime I want to watch something on a streaming service, it has been removed to go to another one.
In other news, I want to learn Lua but I am lazy. I have read over 42 books this year so it hasn’t been a total loss. And! knocks on wood I haven’t gotten covid so I’m pretty damn lucky. I’ve got my core rules for Cyberpunk Red now and I’m currently preparing for online sessions.
