Bluesky is nice, but when I post there I feel like I’m shouting into the void. Few people I know have accounts on it, and it doesn’t seem to be easy to make new friends there. I blame the Twitter paradigm of blasting content to followers instead of conversing with people.

I really miss LiveJournal, and making long-form posts so that people could have substantive discussions with each other.

Anyhows. I’m taking today off work, and I think I’ll spend it playing Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on my old Wii U. I picked up the game recently on eBay cos I’d never played it.

Playing video games may seem like a waste of time, but it’s a big step for me to be doing this instead of spending all day running in circles as my anxiety tells me I need to work harder and make more lists and get more done.

@bkendig The LJ heyday was a great time. 💖

Fediverse used to remind me of LJ, where I had a bunch of active friends who were active with each other, but some of my friends have drifted away (and one passed away, alas), so it's less like that now.

I got a bsky account but I just use it to look at a few legal/political feeds I used to follow on Twitter. I've made no posts and all of three replies there. -_-

@bkendig also: yay playing video games! 🎊 So much better than doomscrolling or spinning your wheels. I hope you have fun!
@rowyn Aw, thank you, I appreciate that! And I didn’t know that you and @Tuftears know each other, though I am not at all surprised at that!
@bkendig @Tuftears Tufty and I go eat back! We met online in the early 90s and have kept in touch one place or another ever since!l. 😊
@bkendig Yay staycation. ^.^ I technically won Blue Prince the other while but I'm reliably informed (hi @rowyn ) that there's at least 50% more game after that.
