Can't Stop the Monsoon

Sunday, July 5, 2026

We're roughly at the halfway point of 2026, and I haven't published a single word on this blog since January 1st. Maybe an explanation is in order.

In 2025 my gaming goals didn't quite go as planned. Again. Time to make a few excuses and then look to the future! Again.

Well, it's almost 2026, so naturally I want to talk about 2024. For 1500 words or so.

I relapsed back into Final Fantasy XIV. It was only a matter of time. The question was when, not if.

In the first two years of this blog, I wrote about comics and manga a lot, usually titling those posts "Sequential Art." Oh snap, here we go again.

I'm simultaneously proud of what I accomplished, and disappointed in what I didn't.

Let's talk Kirby, a completely wholesome Nintendo mascot who also swallows entire beings whole.
