iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I don’t think I’m built for social media anymore. It’s not good for my mental health. My brain can’t handle posting into the void 99% of the time about things I’m excited about while seeing others post similar things and getting all the fun conversations. It triggers my rejection sensitivity badly.

Seeing my mom on TV last night was so surreal. I saw a whole side of her I never knew existed.

Today is the big day! Wonka’s the Golden Ticket dropped on Netflix today! I’m so excited to see my mom and her best friend be on TV and compete for the grand prize! I still can’t believe my mom is going to be on tv! I hope everyone will watch and cheer them on!

I loved it! It was a fantastic balance of horror and comedy. It didn’t bother me that none of the RE game characters were in it. This is a great standalone in the RE universe that captured the magic of RE for me. No notes.

The GameCube was my favorite console growing up. It has some of my all time favorite games I still replay consistently today. It was pure fun and was home to some of Nintendo’s most unique and creative titles. It deserved to sell way more units than it did.

Secured the Zelda Switch 2 console pre-order and the carrying case! Didn’t make it in time for the Pro Controller 😭 Hopefully there’s more stores and a restock soon.

Absolutely blown away by Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake today! Nintendo cooked with that! I’m buying that and the Zelda Switch 2 Day 1! Give me all the Zelda goodness!

“Sony’s counsel saying digital ownership would be impossible because a player could not own something purchased on a digital store if another player had already bought it.” This might be one of the dumbest arguments I’ve ever heard.

I bought my 6-year old daughter her first Pokemon card booster pack today, and it’s wild how hard it was to find a store with packs in stock. When I was a kid, you could walk into any store and they’d be fully stocked all the time.

I built the Abandoned Power Plant in Pokemon Pokopia, and it’s not lined up correctly. Queue eye twitching.

I have over 80 hours in Pokemon Pokopia already, and 90% of those hours are me just randomly doing side projects to restore places to how I think they were supposed to look 😂

If all my followers donated $1, we would practically be at our goal, my mom will get a life saving biopsy bc they refuse to do anything until she gets one. Please consider donating, anything helps, or even share if you can't donate. I appreciate it so much, my mom is my bestie gofund.me/8f2c9530f

Kayla’s mom is one of the nicest people on this planet. If anyone can help or share it would mean the world to her. The American Healthcare system fails its citizens on a daily basis by focusing on profits over helping those in need. Kayla’s mom deserves the care she needs to get better.

I really hate to do this because I just did one for my car at the beginning of the year but my mom is much more important than a car to me. Even if you can't donate because I know times are super tough right now, sharing helps a lot. gofund.me/c373cabe6

And just like that, I’m priced out of this. I can’t justify $1000 on any form of hardware. I was hoping for a more affordable option for PC gaming since I can’t build a PC itself. Oh well.

I’m a proud parent right now. My daughter has been watching Pokemon from the very beginning. She’s already finished the Indigo League and is in the middle of the Orange Islands now. We’ve watched the first four movies in the last week too. She’s gonna be the very best, like no one ever was 😭
