Oh Hey

[fadeaccompli]

I should post here more often.

Grad school keeps me very busy. Currently trying to get book 6 of the Iliad read (in Greek) by tomorrow's class, and all of the Iliad and Odyssey (in translation) read by Friday's meeting with a prof.

Thinking about putting together a screenshot LP for some game on the Switch that isn't going to murder me if I pause and line up the angle for several seconds, since I'm told it has a good screenshot function, and, hey, I clearly need more projects, right?

Now if only I could decide on a game... I need one with enough meat to give me something to write about between screenshots, but not so much that it's sixty screenshots for every cut scene and me with nothing to say except pointing silently at the pictures. Maybe it'll come to me. Maybe I will not take on yet another project, when my previous text LPs always fizzled out.

(But I like doing LPs. It makes video games feel more communal and like I'm part of a conversation, without having to actually go to the parts of the internet which claim to be about video games, because those parts o the internet are usually terrible.)

This is a different top-level comment, just to show off the threading feature by contrast.

Hi! *waves a bunch*

I do live! I just tend to retract from a lot of social spaces online when I'm stressed, and goodness it's been a stressful year. (Not a /bad/ year. But stressful.)

*also waves, and so very understands stress-burrowing*

Dirtbag Catullus. Because apparently he needed to be more of a dirtbag?
