Lately I've been thinking about re-promoting au_challenge, maybe making some new prompt tables, but I haven't gotten around to it. I suppose 3weeks4dreamwidth is a good time to do it, though at this rate the event will be over before I can do anything lol. I was wondering if people might want weekly or monthly prompts to go along with the bingo cards and regular prompt tables? But then again I made the comm to be lowkey for both me and participants, so I don't know if it's worth it.


I had to power through the second half of Psychonauts 2 this weekend as it was due back to the library because someone else put a hold on it (the only copy) so it wouldn't renew. Who else had the idea to play this 5 year old game at the same time as me!! Regardless I did get it beaten so it is on its way to the next patron. 😤

Overall I thought it was really good! I looove the first Psychonauts, it's one of my favorite formative games, so I was really happy it finally got a sequel. And thank goodness it's a good sequel. 🙏 The combat is a little clunky, it felt like it was stuck back in 2005, but the characters and story and wacky world building are the highlight of the game just like in the original. My biggest gripe is it needed more Sasha and Milla lol.

If you've not played the original, I think it's on Steam for $10 and well worth checking out. Raz, a young psychic, runs away from the circus to join a summer camp for psychic kids. The game is a platformer with some action/puzzling where you explore various characters' minds and help them overcome fears or past traumas. There's a lot of fun and unique levels in both games.


I managed to score four seasons of Leverage on DVD for a total of $8 from a used book sale which is a steal, though to my annoyance they didn't have season 4. 😑 I guess even if I have to get it for 10-15 bucks used that'll still be a good deal for the whole series.

There was also an art market happening at the mall when I went out for lunch with my dad the other day that we didn't realize was happening, so after we ate I popped around the market. Lots of ceramics that were really cool, I wish I could afford handmade ceramic stuff/had the space for it. Unfortunately one can only have so many mugs!! I did buy a few stickers from a girl who was tabling her first art market, she was so sweet and tried to give me a free bookmark though I made her keep it (I already own too many bookmarks too lmao). But I hope she did well. 🥺
