i've been having a good time with shadow of the erdtree. i'm taking my time with it, and haven't hit any of the really ridiculous late game bosses i've heard people complaining about (i think). i've just really enjoyed the level design of it, both in the open world and in the dungeons, and in that sense at least it feels like a gigantic step forward from the base game.

but

there's just so damn much of it, and i really needed a change of pace, so i went back to selaco last night. god damn. this game is such a fucking breath of fresh air. it's such a great synthesis of ideas from old school corridor shooters, immersive sims, and even call of duty-ish games. cannot recommend it highly enough.

To you, the voice in my head
The voice that tells me it's over
Who dares mock me as I bathe
I am enough.

Yesterday, a day long panic
And I hurt loved ones in it
But there will be days like that
Even then
I am enough.

Even if I don't feel it
Especially if I don't feel it
I have lovers who will be patient
Who care for me deeply
And remind me
I am enough.

I know what you are voice
You are every moment
Where I was shamed
Abandoned and hurt
Every cutting glance
Which said
You'll never be enough.

But I AM enough.
I know I am enough.
And when I do not.
When you as doubt come in
I now glare at you in the mirror
And you flinch
Because I am enough.

Because even if I falter
I get up, repair what I can
And keep going forward
Because I am enough.

We've been getting power outages MORE AND MORE since this winter, and last time our power was out for three days and i'm like aggressively afraid of the dark :(( I can't find anything that isn't super dim or insanely expensive
