The <^> Game | V.22

[darling feathers]

okay, i have a few favorite games! my top 2 are both life-sim
type games because they're really nice & relaxing, my other
favorite is not life-sim though:

- animal crossing (specifically city folk & new leaf)
- stardew valley
- the 1998 spyro the dragon (as well as the remastered version!)
for spyro + animal crossing, both of these games have deep
nostalgic ties for me. i have many happy memories of playing
spyro with my dad as a kid, as well as around a year ago,
replaying it while he watched me :') probably one of the few
interests that my dad & i share so i really cherish it! for
animal crossing, i've been playing it since i was in elementary
school, so it brings me back to that state of my life where i
had very little to worry/stress about. i frequently find myself
listening to city folk soundtracks (+ other ac soundtracks) even
now to get through my school & they are just so nostalgic!
for stardew valley, i didn't start playing it until last year, but it
is honestly one of my favorite ways to pass the time. it's just so
peaceful & fun to explore. i appreciate that it doesn't have a
strict storyline to follow & that you can kind of do whatever! i
also really respect the creator, concerned ape, because he has
basically created the game by himself & that is so impressive

thank you for letting me write about all this lol >;3

^ you might not get something done but at least you're
having fun haha >:)
> MY PHILOSOPHY PROFESSOR JUST PERSONALLY EMAILED

V do you have any good news to share that you heard recently?

[cainhurst]

for personal good news, not really, my apologies! you made me google "good news" though and i found this, which is really nice news imo



For a second time, the nonprofit Save the Redwoods League has orchestrated a donation of coastal redwood forestland to the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council to permanently protect trees on the Lost Coast in Mendocino County, California.

The League purchased the 523-acre property, formerly known as Andersonia West, in 2020. To ensure its lasting protection, the conservation group transferred ownership to the Sinkyone Council, which then granted the League a conservation easement.

Through the partnership, the Sinkyone people resume guardianship of a land they lived on generations ago, before European settlers moved in—and the forest will again be known as Tc’ih-Léh-Dûñ (pronounced tsih-ih-LEY-duhn), meaning “Fish Run Place”

^ yo that's awesome, congrats! philosophy is such an interesting topic of study too
> i am once again asking for the matrix to glitch when i go to sleep tonight so i can wake up a sexy nobleman stricken by the oh so very unsexy affliction of vampirism in their beautiful gothic revival style estate tomorrow. is that really too much to ask for?
v what does your bed look like? size, frame, bedsheets, blankets, pillows, plushies, etc.

[grey matter]

twin bed, adorned with a husband pillow (like, the back support things), either some red/black/white bedding or some star wars bedding, two delightful pillows, and The Bed Squad, consisting of a bootleg Spamton plushie aka Spamton Jr., Batter, a weighted red dragon plushie, a Baikinman plushie, and Baby, a sock... creature... thing. It's right next to both of my windows and a little side table.

^ I hope it isn't too much to ask, that sounds like a delight.
> Ah, if the matrix glitched me out, I'm not sure what I'd want. I'm rather contented at the moment. / Shuffling my mega-playlist in an attempt to find inspiration.
v How do you get inspiration?

[vi‎ ‎]

sometimes there's a dynamic between two characters that i want to convey, so i just pick up my ipad/my journal and draw. i listen to music, i watch tv shows/movies, i talk to my friends, and i look at art/poetry that i like!
^ your comment about the matrix was funny lol. also i hope you find some inspiration!
> i was thumbnailing for a dtiys that i want to join. i hope i have enough time to complete it and have fun!

Mockin’ Bird Hill from Teresa Brewer. my friend shared it with me after I sent them a random bird video, and it makes me happy & brings me a smile instantly upon hearing it, even though it’s outside of my usual taste! It’s so joyful and contagiously happy, I just love it. C:
