iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Welp, the Astros, Red Sox, and Cubs get this year's first YOU TRIED stickers as their respective playoffs lasted only two games each. And with the Red Sox out, I'm now a Rays fan against the Yankees. I want to see MLB's nightmare come true: Brewers vs. Rays in the World Series.

This Sunday will be the last A Big Gay Market I will be doing this year (I won't be able to make the November & December markets due to a concert dress rehearsal and PAX Unplugged, respectively), so if you want to buy some of my photography, come to the Washington Park Lake House in downtown Albany!

Sometimes I have regrets over some of the decisions past me made. This one in particular was when I spent several years downsizing my physical game collection by buying up the digital versions of them and selling the physical ones because why would I need to own multiple copies of the same game?

And now with my 100% playthrough of the 1st Ori game done, time to announce the next game! Wasn't able to stream any horror games last October, but I'll have some time for this one to play through a short horror game in the form of Resident Evil Revelations! Join me next Friday!

It's been two years since I publicly came out as bi. On the whole, it seems to have been a good thing for me. Better late than never. Hope my fellow bisexuals have an awesome day today, especially those who, for their own reasons, don't feel safe coming out just yet. ❤️💜💙

Someone saw one of my cemetery photos on sale at yesterday's market and was moved to happy tears by it, as it reminded them of their mom. They ultimately bought it. GenAI will never elicit such a genuine emotional reaction.
