Edit That Requires It’s Own Repost:

Yup, this tracks. Also, the 1% of golf games is there because I played Gold Story at the beginning of the year. 🤣

these are my demands

Me earlier today: Hmm, I better find a way to distract myself from the fact that Tears of the Kingdom comes out at midnight so I’m not thinking about it all day. I know! I’ll do some chores!

Proceeds to do every chore available to me including:

Cleaning the litter boxes for the cats.

Taking the recycling to the recycling center.

Three loads of laundry.

Washing the dishes.

Picking up lunch for me, my wife, and our roommate.

Making dinner for me and my wife. (Roommate usually gets home from work late so they usually get their own dinner.)

Man, more big games that I’m heavily anticipating need to come out. I’m way more productive when I need to not think about something.

Oh, also, here’s what we had for dinner. Rice crispy chicken with chicken rice and green beans.

Kubo went and made a 13 minute visual novel demo of a highschool delinquent AU based on the artwork from Bleach Jet for April Fool’s Day. There is also merch. Honestly, I don’t even feel pranked. This is just more content! Thanks Kubo! 🤩 Now if I only I could read Japanese.

Alright, I know April’s almost over but as it is still Autism Acceptance Month, I wanted to talk a little about it. Just wanted to share what being autistic is like for me and some of my special interests.

I was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD when I was 8 years old. Back then, I was technically diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome but that was merged into ASD in 2011 so I’ll just refer to it as ASD. Anyway, I didn’t really know what that meant until I was seventeen and actually did some research. Learning that a bunch of my behaviors and certain feelings I had were actually because I was autistic was…. I don’t know, relieving? Things started to make more sense. Before this point, all I knew was that I didn’t understand social cues and I was very specific about what I liked and disliked. It did not help that I was also on ADHD medication that exacerbated the negative parts of autism. Since that day, I’ve learned so much more about myself and I learn new things about autism everyday. I’m not angry or upset that I’m autistic. I was (and still kinda am) mad at the people who didn’t explain it to me properly when I was younger but that’s beside the point. I’ve learned to accept it and I’m a lot happier because of it. I don’t need people to be aware of me. I just need people to accept me.

Okay, that was a lot. Hmm. Anyway, SPECIAL INTERESTS, LET’S GO!!!! 😃

My primary special interests are manga, anime, and video games. And within those special interests are even MORE special interests. For example, some of the manga I have a huge interest in include Bleach, One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist and Jujutsu Kaisen. There’s a lot more but there are too many list. On the flip side, the anime I like differs slightly. I don’t always like anime adaptations of manga I like. For example, I really don’t care for either the Bleach or One Piece adaptations (Bleach TYBW is the exception). There are certain scenes from each that I really enjoy watching and they both have great soundtracks and great voice acting in both the original Japanese and the english dubs, but weird choices that differ from the source material and huge pacing issues make them hard for me to watch. On the other hand, there are certain adaptations that I prefer to the source material, such as Demon Slayer or Mob Psycho 100. These two in particular take the original material and enhance it greatly. What’s more, there are certain series where I really like both the original manga and the anime (Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen to name a couple). Also, I love original anime, like Space Dandy, Oddtaxi, Gurren Lagaan, Appare Ranman, and Vivy: Flourite Eyes Song. It’s really cool to see original content in a medium that is primarily adaptations.

Starting a new paragraph for video games. This might be my big special interest. RPGs, Metroidvanias, platformers, action games, puzzle games, party games, etc. I really love video games. Favorite series include but are not limited too: Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Pokémon, and Xenoblade Chronicles. In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a big Nintendo person. If I had to pick a genre, I’d say RPGs are my favorite, whether they are turned based or action oriented. My top three favorite games of all time are Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Kingdom Hearts II. Favorite Pokémon generation is three though Scarlet is my current favorite game. I could go on about how I love different combat and level up systems in different games, how I love that the sidequests in the Xenoblade games add to the worldbuilding and give them so much depth, how I love watching videos analyzing background lore in games like Hollow Knight or Breath of the Wild or videos going into detail about how dark series like Kirby or Splatoon are, or how even though the story is insanely stupid I adore Kingdom Hearts for how sincere it is. But I feel like this has gone a bit longer than I originally intended.

Anyway, a couple of notes really quick about Autism Acceptance Month and autism in general:

Don’t support Autism Speaks. They are a hate group focused on trying to “cure” autism.

Don’t use the puzzle piece when talking about autism. It is ableist. Use either the gold infinity symbol for autism or the rainbow infinity symbol for neurodiversity.

Vaccinations don’t cause autism. Whoever came up with that can burn in hell.

I think that’s everything. If whoever is reading this is autistic, I hope you had a great Autism Acceptance Month.

Saw One Piece Film: Red the other day with my wife and a friend. Fantastic film! I’d never seen a One Piece film before so it was pretty fun. I am caught up with the manga and occasionally watch clips from the anime. But yeah, it was really fun! Loved that it was a musical! Also, there’s a little something in there for the manga readers so be sure to look for that. :) I wish I could be less generic with this description but I really don’t want to spoil anything. If you like One Piece I can’t recommend it enough!

Need a bit of help

Hey guys, I’m under a bit of financial stress due to bills and a sudden plumbing emergency that has been striking us (third time now). If anyone has maybe like 3 or 5 dollars to spare, that would really help me out so so much. Ill even draw you a headshot sketch today if you donate and shoot me a message.

donate to my ko-fi if you don’t mind helping my roomie and I out a little– again, it means the world to us. https://ko-fi.com/fluffnflight

I GOT NEW GLASSES! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SIX YEARS! (I think.)

I have desperately needed to update my glasses for a while now. I normally wear contacts but sometimes it’s nice to just wake up and not have to stick tiny lenes on my eyes. Anyway, it’s nice to have glasses I can actually see clearly out of. My previous glasses hadn’t been changed since I got them and my eyes have definitely changed since then. Hooray!

Just a reminder! Going live tonight! We are definitely playing Paper Mario! Should be fun! 😊

Stream schedule for this week:

Tonight: Nothing! I’m taking the day off!

Thursday: Paper Mario or a one shot in another game at 7:30 pm (CT). We’ll see how I’m feeling.
