peiyeni'm post-call and TIRED. but guess what, I'm on-call again TOMORROW. WOW
good things to look forward to: I'm going home next week! and I've got some parcels to rip open! I always get my online shopping delivered back home across the south china sea, cause we all fuckin know I'll never be in to receive orders from my rented accomodation here.
also looking forward to August very much right now. gosh, i'm getting really excited about that trip.. ONE MORE MONTH!
PODCASTS
I'm catching up on Comedian's Comedian Podcast. Like... reeeeeally slowly. I think I've got like 100 episodes to go. What the hell. They're all at least an hour long, and they're not the type of thing that I can listen to on the go. I need focus for Stu's interviews! I got some free time yesterday though -- the Nina Conti episode was lovely. I'm not one for ventriloquists but she seems like a brilliant person. The Mark Watson episode made me clutch at my heart so many times, it was ridiculous. HOW PRECIOUS IS THAT MAN? He's got so much anxiety and angst in him that I just want to hug him and tell him how much happier all his work has made me..
YOUTUBE..?
haha yea I'm still watching jacksepticeye videos. He's so great. I mean, on surface you'd think he was one of those jock videogame dudebros like the majority of the public videogame community. But he's just so NICE and APPRECIATIVE, it's incredibly attractive haaahhaha. He's super enthusiastic about the games he plays, but ohmygod the way he gets so invested in them and actually cries on camera because of storylines??? shit.
I watched him playing Emily Is Away 2 and A Normal Lost Phone over the past couple of days. They're games that are more.. thoughtful? story-driven stuff with minimal action. Emily Is Away 2 was just oozed nostalgia and made me yearn for my teenage years, where the most I worried about was about pageviews on my deviantart and the latest albums from my favourite bands. And instant messaging! oh god. Remember when I had friends to talk to online..? I've made myself sad now.
I played A Normal Lost Phone when it was still in development, so it was nice to see the completed version. I liked the tweaks they did to the storyline and the additional character development. It made the ending a little more concrete, compared to how the demo only implied to what happened. It's a good game. jack made it great though, and the way he reacted to the ending was probably the most precious thing in the world.
In both games, he went on really interesting tangents about his life and background and how he was raised, and talked about social issues that the plotlines addressed and, well, it hit me hard in the feels. Damn. I know he has a bit of a rabid fan(girl)base, possibly consisting of impressionable young kids, so it's nice to know that he's instilling good values and leading by example, being a good role model etc. I really love him for that.
wow excuse me for going on a lovesick rant about a youtuber. it's really not my regular scene
