Crunchy & Nutty What do you love now, that you hated when you were younger? One thing I hated as a kid was nuts of any kind. I didn't like them in anything soft like brownies or ice cream. Back then I was quite sensitive to having crunch in something that was the opposite, especially when I tried that Rocky Road ice cream flavor. https://monsterladysdiary.wordpress.com/2026/07/01/crunchy-nutty/

A Hero Has Passed You know what we must do now. Present, arms! That's right, so yesterday I was checking Discord in my car before heading into the gym. Then I came across a post in the Blaugust server that the founder of the group and host of the annual event: Belghast.... had passed away, the author of the blog Tales of the Aggronaut as well as podcast. https://monsterladysdiary.wordpress.com/2026/07/04/a-hero-has-passed/

Back Into My Bubble For the past year, I’ve tried to keep my stress level down, but no matter what I did, it still was high and there was only one answer to that problem. Every waking hour, my mind was on one thing from a rabbit hole I should have never fallen down and that is my rising concerns of laws around the world being passed to control the internet but presented as child safety to get us to be okay with it. https://monsterladysdiary.wordpress.com/2026/07/13/back-into-my-bubble/

Lately I feel like I am forcing myself to play Death Stranding. The lore is interesting but there's still a lot I don't understand and as time went by, I've been getting tired of getting constant pings from three different NPCs about how to do something when I can figure it out on my own. I've put up with a lot of slow pacing for this long now and I swear, every time I hear that beep that timefall is beginning to rain I'm like "oh ffs not now...". But maybe now I've reached my limit. I had to trek a long way to get to Mountain Knot City only for the person there to refuse to join our cause, so now I have to go all the way back the way I came to devise a plan and fast travel is limited.... fuck.

I haven't got a new fictional crush in a while.... what's wrong with me?

All of a sudden over the past year I've fallen down the cybersecurity rabbit hole due to the sweeping global legislations that make us dox ourselves for "online safety" Thus I've made significant changes to my regular internet usage. I might not go to the extreme levels (like switching OS or de-Googling, for now at least) but I've been doing some little tweaks here and there that make things better.

#BillC22 ? No thanks, I prefer Signal, NordVPN and DuckDuckGo.

I'm gonna keep playing Death Stranding after all. Sam started calling the BB, Lou.

RE: https://indieweb.social/@lonseidman/117056179260674320 Good, they deserve everything coming to them.

Man, this Guardians of the Galaxy game is just as I expected. Fun combat, great soundtrack and lots of humor. Drax is so literal and I thought I was the best at that! One chapter complete already and I won a bet against Rocket.

Steam Wishlist Declutter Round II Another round of going through my Steam wishlist, and playing demos to decide what goes and what stays on the list for eventual purchase. The results were balanced this time. https://monsterladysdiary.wordpress.com/2026/09/14/steam-wishlist-declutter-round-ii/

Exodus Well, I did it, evacuation complete. This was a long time coming. What did I do? I deleted my Facebook account. I never thought I’d get to this day. Hell, I recall setting up memorialisation settings to have it deleted if something were to happen to me. Who would’ve thought I would end up just pulling the plug myself? https://monsterladysdiary.wordpress.com/2026/09/18/__trashed-2/

Visiting my aunt today for her 80th birthday and my dad got her husband hooked onto his favorite YouTube channel: JT's Barn & Grill. My dad is obsessed with tractors.

I love how #Proton is purple

@ZombieGopher@gamepad.club Well that's certainly one way to describe it. I got frustrated coming all that way and had to go all the way back. Thank goodness for Fragile jumping. I took a break from the game for a week and wasn't sure if I wanted to continue but then I booted it up again last night so I'm going to keep playing after all.

@ZombieGopher@gamepad.club Like a dystopia with beings stuck between life and death and here we are as one man trying to reconnect the world.

@ZombieGopher@gamepad.club It is balanced you dork.
