I feel like I know so many people doing cool things with their lives, and I'm just here working for other people, doing nothing interesting of my own.

Planet Zoo 2 coming out reminds me that I've never played much of the first one.

Been at work less than 15 minutes and I'm already feeling so so angry

Damn, how did they know this is exactly what I needed? Been listening to vol1&2 a lot the last few weeks.

Yesterday I had a nice and relaxing day, which was especially needed after the week I had. Felt properly rested and a balanced Saturday all round. But today I feel tired and drained again. What's that all about.

When you've been putting off doing a thing for so long, and then you're forced to deal with it whether you like it or not (we had to buy a new fridge)

It's interesting just how many games make it to Switch these days, and yet I wouldn't buy a single one on the console. I guess it's a good thing if it's the only thing you have to play games on though.

Do you ever just think everything fucked up in your life is probably your own fault, and you probably deserved it.

I've had a constant low level of anxiety the last few days and I'm not sure why. Could just be that it's September and 10 years of trauma

The dev job market is a joke right now "Senior Software Engineer, Applied AI" What does that even mean???

I took so long to get round to playing The Witcher 3, that they're releasing a remaster for it. I guess that'll actually kick me into playing it finally.

Not me getting upset because I thought we'd thrown out a Quality Street tin that was the last thing my Nan bought for me. (It's fine, we found it. Grief is weird)

(AI actually has been used in science and medicine for decades and is incredibly good at doing things like finding cancer that can’t be seen with the human eye but that is a completely different type of AI then we’re all angry about it and we shouldn’t discuss them in the same conversations TBH)

Okay but what if I updated my username everywhere to actually spell Kestrel correctly? I don't know why this suddenly bothers me. I've known for a very long time.

With KH4 not out until the end of next year, I need to book a trip somewhere to keep me going until then.

Starting to feel sick and anxious. Couldn't possibly be the thought of having to go back to work tomorrow, for 2 days, and then working a 3rd event in a row 🙃

Have just noticed the ball of my septum ring has fallen off. Can't have been that long ago, but no idea where or when. So, I guess I'm hunting down some reputable Japanese nose rings now 😅

Getting better at ordering in Japanese (day 4) but I did get cow milk this morning and had to get it replaced, so, partial success. Hope I don't die.

Rethinking my entire packing strategy, because as much as I don't want to travel with a large suitcase, I really don't wanna risk not having space to bring home all the weeb shit. And I have some extra stuff I need to take for WCS.

You know when you're not very good at giving your opinion on things, but you're told to speak up more, but when you do no one listens, so like, why bother

lmao apparently I did start a Blue Lions route in FETH at some point, but I have zero memory of it. I didn't quite finish it either, so I'll probably just start that run again.

Kes ⚡ @violetkestral.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

I've been trying to pack for Japan, and because one time I only had 1 checked bag, I had it stuck in my head that I had to fit everything into a single suitcase and I don't want to take a large one. I have 2 hold bags this time, and it took me far too long to realise I could just use both.

Someone bumped into my car because they weren't looking and I really hate everything about cars and driving. (It's fine, I'm fine, hopefully their insurance will pay out to fix my bumper)

Anyway, I need to buya 0.5 meter of fabric because I didn't have enough for the sleeves on a tshirt, and I'm trying to figure out what else I can get to make the most of the delivery fee (yes I know that's how they get you)

I feel like I'm being trained for a tech manager role (eventually) and whilst in the past I had zero interest in management, with the explosion of AI for development, maybe I'll actually start to consider it.

Man why is FE Engage such a flop. I've picked it up again to try to finish it, but I haven't touched it in well over a year, and I couldn't name a single character from it except the MC
