Why I am here: inspired by Unmasking for Life, I'm looking to create a community, especially w/ queer & neurospicy folks. I don't leave my house much, so figure online spaces are a good option (even if my brain struggles w/ them). I'm hoping to make friends while honoring who I truly am. Interested?

Not sure what parts to include on this. December is empty because I spent all my time on the Switch 2 and PS5. Before I got my Steam Deck, I never played PC games. It has completely changed my gaming habits. #Steam #SteamReplay2025 #VideoGames
A summary graphic titled "headrollsoff's STEAM REPLAY 2025." Key statistics are displayed: 24 Games Played, 813 Achievements, 966 Sessions, and 23 New Games. The section "Most Played Games: By % of Playtime" lists the top 5 games with their playtime percentages: Hello Kitty Island Adventure (28%), Vampire Survivors (11%), Hollow Knight: Silksong (11%), Hollow Knight (6%), and PowerWash Simulator (6%). A display of the user's Longest Daily Streak: 198 days, spanning from Thursday, April 24 to Saturday, November 8. Below the streak are the box arts for the 17 different games played during that time, including Portal, Super Meat Boy, Hollow Knight, Ape Out, Minit, Untitled Goose Game, Journey to the Savage Planet, Hollow Knight: Silksong, PowerWash Simulator, Cult of the Lamb, Once Upon a Katamari, Ball X Pit, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, The Headliners, R.E.P.O., and Peak. A data visualization showing gaming habits. A donut chart and text indicate that 51% of playtime was in New Releases (games released in 2025), and these new releases account for 14% of the total playtime for all Steam users. A spider graph titled "You are what you Play" highlights the most-spent time genres: Metroidvania, Action Roguelike, Base Building, Horror, Cozy, and 3D Platformer. "By the Numbers" lists: Badges Earned: 32, Reviews Written: 11, New Friends Added: 2. A stacked bar chart titled "Your Playtime by Month" showing the percentage of total playtime in 2025 for each month, from January to November. The highest playtimes were in February (approx. 15%), May (approx. 13%), September (approx. 18%), and October (approx. 13%).

Read (what is available of) this series over the last few days. It was absolutely perfect. I cried a bunch, and just loved everything about it. The relationships, the way it talks about food, the artwork, the character progressions, everything.

I really like this show. Just binged the new season in one sitting, and it did not disappoint.

lockscreen 🖤
A high-resolution image of a smartphone lock screen, displaying a dramatic, digitally painted fantasy illustration as the wallpaper. Wallpaper Details: The artwork features a figure submerged or emerging from water, with dark, flowing, slightly green-tinted hair and a prominent, slightly monstrous facial structure. The figure is looking down intensely at a large, open book resting on their lap. The figure appears muscular and is wearing a heavy, angular red and white collar piece. There are faint glowing elements in the background, suggesting a celestial body or magical energy (like a ring/halo) behind the figure's head. The overall color palette is dark and moody, primarily featuring deep blues, greens, reds, and browns, with bright pink/magenta elements from the lock screen interface. Lock Screen Overlay (Pink/Magenta Font): Time: 03 40 (in a large, digital font). Date: MON DEC 15 (stacked vertically). Weather: A cloud outline icon and a temperature of 19°. Alarm/Clock: A small clock icon near the cloud. Biometric: A fingerprint icon for unlocking is centered near the bottom of the screen. Status Bar (Top): Spectrum Wi-Fi Calling is displayed on the left. Small icons for the cell signal, Wi-Fi, and a battery icon showing 52% charge are on the right.

If you see this, we IMPLORE YOU to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.
An image from Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider shows three characters. In the foreground on the left, a character with dark hair styled in pigtails is shouting with a wide-open mouth, teeth bared, and a very exaggerated, distressed expression. They appear to be blushing and are wearing a light-colored hoodie. Subtitles beneath them read, "This had better not be a sex thing!" Behind and to the right of the foreground character, two male characters sit side-by-side. The middle character has a startled expression, dark, short hair, and is wearing a white tank top. The character on the far right is wearing a black riding suit with white scarf and also has a wide-eyed, shocked expression.

I don't have a lot going on and work should be relatively light, but this week feels like it is going to be a difficult one. This extreme cold outside isn't helping.

I'm the Simon fight away from Platinum on Expedition 33, and I'm not doing it. Not worth it. The main story and so many elements of this game are perfect. The late game content is a mess that doesn't understand the design or appeal of difficult games. It lowers my overall impressions considerably.

I really love Expedition 33 and think its GOTY win is well deserved. That being said, some of this late game stuff just flat out sucks. I hate when games waste my time.

Spent an hour and a half on the Flying Manor boss in Expedition 33. Not dying and retrying. Wasn't close to ever dying. Just one long, tedious battle. I still love the game so much, but that was not even a little fun.

Beat the main story in Expedition 33 tonight. I was definitely overpowered for it and probably should have tackled it 20 hours earlier. Still really enjoyed it and the game as a whole. Looking forward to wandering around the map and exploring the places I haven't been to yet.

Just a heads up, some year end wrap ups will continue to update through the end of the year. No judgment if you are excited and post now. I love seeing them. But keep it in mind if you want those last two weeks of data included when posting.

A rough week for movie watching
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched #FilmSky
A row of four movie posters under the heading "RECENT ACTIVITY." Poster 1: Titled "DIE MY LOVE." A close-up, brightly lit image of a person with blonde hair, looking up with their eyes closed, appearing to be in an ecstatic or expressive state. Confetti is visible in the air around them. There is a one star rating underneath the poster. Poster 2: Titled "In the Realm of the Senses." A dark, moody image with a green tint, featuring a person lying down with their eyes closed, and glowing, swirling green lights or particles above them. Text is faintly visible in the upper-middle area. There is a 2.5 star rating underneath the poster. Poster 3: Titled "My Secret Santa." The poster shows two people: a woman wearing a Santa hat and suit sits on a red velvet chair and behind her is a sharply dressed man in a relaxed pose leaning against the back of the chair. A Christmas tree is visible to the right. There is a half-star rating underneath the poster. Poster 4: Titled "OH. WHAT. FUN." The poster features a large photo collage of several people, including four women and three men, reacting with surprise or shock. The bottom foreground shows a white sedan parked on a lawn in front of a large house. There is a one star rating underneath the poster.
