Salubrious

A grand and intoxicating innocence

Hey, don't ask me my opinion -- I'm nobody. Just pretend I'm not here.

I mostly just post about things tangentially related to The Simpsons, or Morrowind or The X-COM Files.

I've been what I can only describe as severely out of whack the past few days. Sunday was fine through the day followed by a weird sudden depression, Monday was one of the worst migraines I've had in at least the past few years, and then yesterday was anxiety followed by weird heightened emotions that went both ways just big ups and downs for the whole afternoon but thankfully mostly ups. Today's starting out fine so far, fingers crossed it stays that way because I've got to have dinner with dad tonight and that's frustrating enough these days without crippling depression/pain/gender(?)brain/mood swings.

When my brain and body hasn't been rebelling I've been playing a bit of Cult of the Lamb which a friend gave me for my birfday. It's been fun so far, but it has some rough edges which are really strange rough edges to boot. Combinining a settlement management game and a standard roguelite dungeoncrawl is a weird combo with weird execution and I keep thinking I'd prefer if the game were just one or the other because whenever you spend enough time in the settlement management side of it to start getting into it you're forced to go back into a dungeon to get resources, and then the roguelite dungeoncrawls are pretty short and if you don't do a little bit of management in between each one all your idiots are gonna die so you can't go straight back into a new dungeon after you beat one.

I've also been continuing to watch Farscape, and holy hell I did not expect to enjoy this show as much as I am, it kicks ass. It's one of my two ideal types of sci-fi: the first is stuff like Planetes, Cowboy Bebop, the first couple of seasons of The Expanse where it's all relatively grounded, usually confined to the solar system, space is harsh and humans are the problem; the other ideal type of sci-fi which Farscape mostly falls into for me is stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy, where you've got aliens that are basically just humans and that's fine, and then aliens that don't resemble humans in any way shape or form but are also just regular dudes as well and they all speak english and interact with space wizards and talk about glorbons or quizlaqs and shit like that. Speaking of space wizards, Farscape might have my new favourite evil space wizard, or at least top 2. Great show, highly recommend.
