Hey, it's been a while since you left a comment in my guestbook recommending Zenith & Nadir by Isabel del Bosco. I wanted to stop by to not only catch up on your blog, but also let you know that I listened to the album and really enjoyed it! So, thank you. I also was so intrigued and mortified to discover the Living Alone Diaries video you recently shared... I have so many thoughts... :eek:

Hey, it's great to hear from you again! I'm really glad you enjoyed the album. :) It always feels good to know that a recommendation was successful. I watched the Living Alone Diaries video too, and...yeah, same. Lots of thoughts. It has definitely given me more pause about sharing details of my location online, although I *think* I do a fairly good job of keeping my home, schedule, etc. private. I watch a Living Alone Diaries channel regularly by a woman who lives in Lagos, Nigeria, and I think she does a good job of keeping her pinpointed location private. Even though I know the city she lives in, when she goes out she points the camera at her feet so you can't see any incriminating details, and I've never seen the outside of her apartment or the area around it. I think that could be a good practice for people who are going to post that kind of content. There's definitely a level of mindfulness that you need to have, and some of those examples are just...not mindful at all.

I adore your site! I was just checking out the coffee + Cast n Chill post, the screenshots are so lovely and it's been on my list for months now. I'll take this as a sign to check it out.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the post. :) It's a gorgeous game and perfect for either having on in the background or doing some relaxing fishing. I hope you like it, and feel free to come back and let me know what you think!

Thank you so much for your kind note! I like your phrasing of journaling to arrange your thoughts. I feel like my mind is constantly a jumble of mess, and I only start making sense of it when I can physically see the mess turn into words on paper. For the first time today, I literally hugged my journal and thanked it for getting me through some of my toughest times. A bit silly, bit comforting.

Replied on: April 11, 2026 at 7:23:09 PM

I completely understand! I'd be lost without my journal. It's exactly as you described: my brain is a mess sometimes, and I need to organize it, and writing things down in my journal is the best way I've found to do that. I'm so happy your journal has gotten you through the tough times too. <3

Hey Syl, thanks for leaving such a kind message in my guestbook! I really enjoyed your blog as well — it feels very personal and slice-of-life. I loved your post about being in your 30s because I pretty much share that feeling, and I also liked your zine and the fact that you are a videogame write, how cool is that! It's nice to find another fellow Resident Evil fan :hail: and to see that you enjoyed Requiem as well. On release day, I couldn’t put it down and played for more than 12 hours. For me, it was an event too. Easily in my top 5 RE games, now I’m going for the platinum! Have a nice day, I'm looking forward to read more from you. :)

Hi Ginoz! Thanks for stopping by and leaving this lovely message! I'm so glad you enjoyed Requiem as well! I'm hoping to go for the platinum myself once I get through a few other games on my backlog. I played for six hours on release day and then spent the entire next day finishing it haha. It was absolutely an event, that's a great way to describe it! I hope you have a great week. :)

Hi Syl, For what it's worth, I enjoyed reading your music history posts! I'm now thinking of writing something similar myself about my own music journey. If you ever decide to revisit the subject on the blog I'll be happy to read it. :)

Replied on: February 22, 2026 at 5:46:17 PM

Thank you, Erik! I'm glad to know you enjoyed the posts, even if I wasn't happy with them myself. I would like to revisit them in the future and revise them to a point where I feel happy with them. Please feel free to drop me a note or an email and let me know when you've posted about your music journey, if you do! I would love to read it. :)

I just stumbled upon your blog and enjoy the feel of it. Both the aesthetics and your tone drew me in. Ranni is precious!! :D please keep writing

Replied on: February 16, 2026 at 5:12:51 AM

Thank you so much! This blog is my outlet and I sometimes feel like I just ramble incoherently, so it's really nice to know that it drew you in. I will absolutely keep writing and posting about Ranni! <3

I came across the blog through kagi's small web tools which landed me into your sauna adventure. I kept going around and reading more and more. It made my morning cozy in the way Coffee Talks did, and inspired me a little bit too. Just wanted to say hi and have a great day!

Replied on: February 10, 2026 at 5:15:43 PM

Hi Lt. Kitsuragi! Love that name btw. Disco Elysium is one of my all-time favorite games. :) Thank you so much for leaving this lovely comment. I'm so glad you found my blog and decided to stay for a while. It's honestly the best compliment to know that you found it cozy and that it also inspired you! That makes me really happy. I hope you have a wonderful day as well!

Something nice! Hah! Kidding - mostly. Seriously, something nice. I'm glad I stumbled across this - it was via your Steam profile is you can believe that. Waiting for a download, I started browsing friends, with a taste of nostalgia for early Steam days, when the gang would get together and run from digital zombies. I enjoy the blog and it is inspiring to boot. Rose is also a constant writer. Literally hundreds of journals around this house she's kept consistently since her teens to the present. An entire life story - like a script for a movie (or an ad interrupted HBO series). We are such beautiful and strange creatures, we anthropoids. I'm glad you're sharing you anthropoidic experiences and thoughts!

Replied on: February 7, 2026 at 7:44:21 PM

Ryan!! This is such a nice surprise! I'm so glad you stopped by and left a message! I can't keep myself from writing, so I created this blog as a place where I can channel that. And speaking of nostalgia, having this blog also serves as a way to connect to the old web that I miss so much. I can definitely relate to Rose! I write in notebooks too, and I fill them up quickly, so I'm constantly buying new ones. I hope you and Rose and the baby are doing well, and I'm so excited for you regarding the bookshop news. I can't wait to make my way out there to visit and buy a few books, hopefully sometime soon.
