hmm that's five pebbles from the titular indie game: Rain World, the DLC of which I am currently playing and enjoying GREATLY. The Watcher campaign is as fantastic as it is confusing, as unfair as it is beautiful. Aimless wandering has never felt more aimless, and yet, the sheer disorientation leads to an experience so uniquely-cadenced that I can't think of another game that feels quite like it. Like a journey whose objective is unknown to you, you simply move to survive, bouncing between timelines in a vain effort for meaning - that meaning, however, is constructed through that very survival. The asynchrony of the world leads to the occasional moment of blissful serenity, a brief hiatus from predator and time, to stand and observe quietly the environments and art without interruption - as if the game knows this, the music slowly fades in to drench the scene in meaning. A sense of poignancy underpins those candid moments in a way very few games can muster. Some feel the sentiment of The Watcher betrays the OG game, but I think it's the only way to develop the same confused spectacle that the base game had, by pushing the boundaries of its own framework.

there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well

and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it

Am I the only one who actually likes kharma??? Rip

I got 1 task done today. I emptied the big trash can in my bedroom. That's one less fork to deal with.

I have severe executive dysfunction. I've been dealing with it by having myself do one small task a day. So far it's helped a lot. By doing it this way my brain doesn't freak out trying to tackle everything at once.

I got my inspiration for it from this Donald Duck comic:
