Update? How we doing?!

I just wanted to clear the air and say I'm not dead. 

Though, if I’m being honest, I feel pretty close to it right now. The world has been a lot lately, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I’m angry, overwhelmed, and honestly, pretty wrecked by everything going on. But, I'm not going to let this break me. So, I’m back, and I’m ready to keep pushing forward. 

On top of everything, I managed to catch some kind of illness (of course) and spent the past few days wilting away. It’s been a cocktail of tylenol, ibuprofen, and way too much Sheryl Crow playing on repeat. The only thing keeping me semi-sane was a 2 hour Harvest Moon DS cute challenge—I swear, it's cathartic af!

But enough of the pity party. I’m back now, and I promise I won’t leave for so long. I’ve got a lot more coming soon, so let’s keep going—one day at a time.

Please take care of yourselves! <3

Angela - Why are some SH2 players actually terrible?!

TRIGGER WARNING!!!

I’ve been watching streams of the Silent Hill 2 remake lately, and honestly, it’s upsetting how many players (mainly men) seem more concerned about how Angela looks than the harrowing story she represents. This is a character who has endured mental, physical, and sexual abuse at the hands of the men in her family. Her entire story is about trauma, survival, and the struggle for self-acceptance after such horrific experiences.

My totally unbiased ranking of the Hero of Time Links!

Note: Play thinking of you while reading, it'll add to the experience! Trust me! 

Now for some quick lore! The first game I ever owned and played was the 2011 3DS remake of the beloved N64 title, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. My love for this Hylian (YES, HYLIAN, NOT ELF) has literally spanned more than half my life.

If you didn’t know Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, and Twilight Princess all follow the same bloodline of Links, continuing or beginning the Hero of Time's quest to save Hyrule, Termina, and even the Twilight Realm—sometimes all at once.

I won’t go through every detail, but Link gets sent seven years into the future to defeat Ganon in Ocarina of Time. When he finally succeeds at the end of the game, the timeline splits into three branches, creating an already convoluted story that gets even wilder with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom tying these timelines together.
