Tapping away at my writing with a lazy van-life video on the TV, nice lighting and a desk I love. Happy times. #apple #desksetup

I just watched a video where a YouTuber said “this is where I work, and consume media.” I don’t like the term ‘consume media’ its oddly dystopian in ways I have never thought about before.

I’ve had about ten days in a row now where I’ve felt unproductive. I’ve still been at work every day, been the gym every day and worked on my qualification studies. But I’ve not found time to write, draw or read. It’s a productive kind of unproductive.

Fishing trip. A Final Fantasy XIV player update.

The first night, two friends and I decided it was time we learned to fish. We found a delightful spot, in an old port, and cast our nets blindly. We expected the entire event to last all but a few minutes before we were going to get bored. I think it was three hours later than we finally decided it was time for bed. That’s three hours and about twenty levels.

Moo, as heck. #art #cow

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds… only #art #startrek #snw

I’m really not enjoying this season of SNW, it just feels like a soap opera more than a sci-fi. And what was with those stupid phones last episode?

Been getting a lot of emails from random mailing lists without unsubscribe options lately. Maybe the golden age of the GDPR mail clean up is over.

Hummm… having some issues uploading an animated GIF, looks like Mario.Social doesn’t like them 🧐 also SPACE! #art

I started watching Wednesday season two yesterday. Did not enjoy. I felt like it was a collection on TikTok videos put in chronological order. Guess I’m not the audience for it.

Did some messing with task managers today. I think I’m staying on Reminders still, the Apple calendar integration is too good to leave. Also, smart lists.

This week I’m not sure if I’m more excited for new Star Trek episode or new South Park episode.

I’m pretty sure I said this same sentence in the 90s 🤣 still true though.

Had a bit of stressful morning. Became the duck. Solved problems. Got through it.

MMOs and their place in my accidental return to gaming.

After losing interest in gaming, rekindling the passion through playing with my daughter and revisiting Final Fantasy XIV has brought joy and engagement back into my life.

This weeks episode of strange new worlds has been the first one that I genuinely didn’t enjoy

Had a great evening at my Bible study group. I enjoy that it happens on a Wednesday evening, it’s like a mid week reset of sorts. Really like it.

Today is a day of academic study. How refined of me 😊

Currently reading Atomic Habits (James Clear) hope it’s as good as its legend.

I had a good time playing FFXIV last night. This evening I have to resist the urge to level, in favour of writing. ✍️

Final Fantasy XIV, on Mac.

I have a lot to say, and write about how fantastic FFXIV is, still. I’m currently drafting one of my signature rambling explorations, on the topic of MMOs. But, today, I’m here to drop information and little more. I own a MacBook Air and wanted to go back to playing FFXIV. I expected this to be hard, however, it was not. In fact, it was shockingly straightforward. Thanks to a website/project that takes care of it for you.
