also I've been playing like every gigantic outer space game that works on my oldass OS over the last 3-4 weeks, and although I didn't go super deep with all of them I will nonetheless pronounce: X3 Terran Conflict is my favorite by a long shot. The Last Federation was the biggest disappointment. Stellaris was almost perfect but it gets reallllly samey after the initial bliss. YMMV!!
not to say there isn't a bit of a weird gender thing going on under the skin. not like Idiocracy-level but on that spectrum
today I drove to Beltsville to Atomic Music, one of the best stores in the USA, to drop off some old gear that needs new batteries soldered to the circuit boards. while I was there I was coerced into playing a vintage moog mini and it was cool, and a new moog little phatty that was cool. alas, I cant even kind of afford either of them rn
I went off lamictal last year bc I felt like it might have had something to do with the uncharacteristic paucity of tunes by me coming into the world during the 2013-2016
