My two year old son is just learning a few words right now. I’m looking forward to the day I can have an honest conversation with him, explain things using words, and get to know what’s going on in his tiny little adorable head.

Well then, these two go together surprisingly well

Moving out of Texas. Waiting for the school year to end, and we are getting out of this backwards state.

Best decision I ever made. I knew I wanted to live away from DFW, but fam..... finally too many good job opportunities for us both were just not available in the south so we made it happen. Cost of living is higher but QOL is much better. Good luck!

Retirement… omg, retirement

I think I’m the only person in the universe who is actually looking forward to the PlayStation Portal handheld being released in a couple of weeks. I loved the Backbone One but it was annoying having to take the case off every time I wanted to play on my phone. The PlayStation Portal will fit my use case very well.

I'm excited but I'm waiting for reviews first. I have a steam deck so I'm really just looking for some screen comparisons. I miss the haptics when remote playing the PS5 on the deck

I've been wondering that for a while. I'll let you know when I think of something.

I've had 3 spinal surgeries (discectomies). I also looked forward to them.

Having a secure and comfortable, well-paying job with health benefits before I die.

Sigh…

Ain't gunna happen. No job is safe. Been laid off 5 or 6 times in my career with "safe" jobs

I've been feeling a bit down lately but I'll be buying a new car soon so that's cheering me up a bit.

Not sure yet, but I've got some money saved up! It will be a used car but I'm ok with that

The end of all the Halloween stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

like the season, or for people to stop caring about it ever?

There's no halloween in my country so I don't know how the experience is. Some folks tried to make it a thing here recently but then they had a bunch of kids going door-to-door and not getting anything from most of them and also some folks who prepared for it and never had anyone knock on their doors. Everybody ended up disappointed.

[–] AnUnusualRelic 2 points 1 year ago

The season.

It never really caught up here, but marketing people are still trying to shove it down our throats. And the US people inundate the online spaces with it for a whole month.

Although it wouldn't make any difference to me if it vanished altogether.

Looking forward to this weekend when I'm finished giving the best man speech at my friend's wedding. I'm sure it will be fine but the knowledge it is coming up has been intruding on my relaxation time this week.

The next episodes and chapters of Jujutsu Kaisen. I love this manga and anime so much that I look forward to reading a new chapter and watching a new episode every week. I legitimately read the manga 3 times, and watched every fight so far in the anime at least twice.

I know it sounds lame when other people talk about more important things, but I have so much stress in my life and entertainment helps me a lot.

Also I am hyped for the Mahoyo movie, though I doubt it will be released this year as was originally planned.

[–] steeznson 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Season 2 is really picking up for me. Although admittedly I was hooked from the first episode of season one.

Have been trying to get through One Piece at the same time which seems to have an endless amount of episodes. Definitely keeping me busy while I wait for new JJK.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed, even from early season 1 I liked it, but the more the story progressed, the more I got into it.

Too bad MAPPA is abusing its animators horribly to make these faster. I would have preferred to wait more so animators could be treated humanely, but I guess when we have sociopaths at the top, nothing good comes out of it.

Going to see Godzilla Minus One at the end of the month. That's pretty much the only thing I've been excited about in the last year or so.
