Took me a few hours to get into #godofwar but quite enjoying it. "Normal" difficultly is kinda hard for me but "easy" is too easy so I've just gotta get better!

Main problem is that evade/roll is X and I'm too used to using O

Not saying there's no legitimate criticism mind you. As a franchise it's problematic as fuck, plus yeah it's yet another "now I'm a dad I have ~~feelings~~" game with a absent mother because dudes can't write mothers or whatever.

I just like stabbing, sometimes.

Worst thing about hype trains is all the people following getting annoyed at the hype train. Fucking gamers.

I'm looking forward to God of War. I've been looking forward to it for ages. I'm hyped it's reviewing well, but as long as it didn't review like shit I was gonna get it anyway. How dare you get bitchy at people getting excited.

My new binder came, and it doesn't really work for me. I dunno if it's my height or what, but any kind of vest-type thing always has massive armholes so it's really hard to move things around without it falling out the sides.

Maybe I'll never be able to get a binder that's right for me :(

Bought a new binder from the US and it's finally in the UK so I've F5'ing the UPS site constantly.

It's probably going to end up needing me to pay Customs though so who knows when it'll actually get in my hands

Lots of people rightly mad at leader of the WEP today/yesterday over her awful comments about sex work, and inability to listen to sex workers.

The WEP is like the Guardian opinion section come to life and is the peak of White Feminism. Hotbed of SWERFs and TERFs. Women deserve better.

How can you be for equality when you shit on the people below you?

Guess now that birdsite is breaking all the 3rd party apps, and the official Mac app is dead, I'll be spending more time over here.

How can you fuck up so badly?

Writing literature reviews is boring as all fuck, plus this is the 4th one I've written as part of this course.

I guess expecting a Masters from a red brick uni to be practical was a bit naive of me

Really enjoying the surge of #bloodborne players this month, getting loads of co-op summons and constant note ratings.

Think these games feel so different as a community/social thing, Return to Lordran was also super cool.

Blogged my feelings on non-binary tech inclusion because I think I've got this wrong in the past (and will being getting it wrong forever probs ) http://www.kitation.co.uk/2018/03/23/nb-inclusion.html

I can't reconcile a movement that on one hand doesn't want women to be tied down by their reproductive systems and yet gatekeeps womanhood based on them.

"We are more than our wombs, but if you don't have one you can't come in"?

Found my session today super useful. We set out some routines to try so I feel less guilt over "free" days, and I need to do some values homework.

She's also going to dig around to find me someone who specialises in gender stuff, which would be a massive help

Over the break I had my hair re-dyed purple, my ears re-pierced and today I'm wearing a band hoodie because it's the only clean one I've got

Is this a mid-life crisis?

Hopefully going to finish this paper on self-driving cars today. It's been hard, mostly because it's a dull topic and my quasi-professional opinion on the technology is that we're all fucked.

More importantly it's getting in the way of my real holiday project, which is finally finishing SMT:Nocturne (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_Megami_Tensei:_Nocturne)

Bought myself a new bag after breaking the zip on my old one, so obviously I had to buy new accessories for it.

These Persona badges are too cute (source https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/coughdrops009) https://mastodon.social/media/8m1xruqH4TBGYIAizjA

After a year off therapy, I'm on my way back. Turns out all the coping mechanisms I learnt for work don't apply to university very well.

It's hard not to feel like a failure for needing help, but I'm cracking under the pressure already and it's only the start of term 2. I need to get this sorted before my dissertation gets underway.

"Real RPG fans are ones who played Ultima on Apple II" is so far worst gaming take of the year. Why do I read the comments?

Doing a paper trawl for a uni assignment; interesting to see a lot of papers about emojis, selfies and internet culture. Like it makes me feel old but I think it's important to take this stuff seriously and not be dismissive *or* all moral-panic about it
