Lifestream

WTF is a Lifestream?

It's what I call this page where I chronicle media I've enjoyed, funny or interesting things I've found, and random stuff I wanted to write down.

It's part digital scrapbook, part recommendation list, and part stream of consciousness. Because I'd rather post random shit on my own website than use most social media.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

— George Orwell, 1984

I played the shit out of this game during the COVID lockdowns like everyone else. I eventually stopped playing in 2021, but my wife did not really, aside from some breaks here and there -- she has over 2000 hours and counting on the game. She is pleased that I'll be joining her again for a little while with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.

The original Metroid Prime is one of my favorite games of all time, I did not like Metroid Prime 2: Echoes as much and never even played Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. I loved Metroid Prime 4 for the most part, it felt like a return to the first game's roots, but some changes were a step (or three) backwards and the ending was just plain bad.

I'm a huge fan of the original FFT, I would go back to play it on a PSX emulator once every few years, and even bought it for Android. (Oddly the version with the best performance.) This remaster with QOL improvements, all new features and gameplay segments, full voice acting for all characters, and an easier difficulty to re-learn the game make this the true definitive edition.

I've always been a sucker for alternate history and this particular book is both thought-provoking and very fun to read. The author uses Buddhism and spirituality in an interesting way to connect disparate characters and historcal events over hundreds of years.
