        How far are you in Elden Ring? I had only played some Demons Souls and skipped to Elden Ring and it’s one of my favorite games of the past decade! I recently respec’d into a moonveil build and it’s AWESOME

          I’m about halfway I think? My next main boss is Morgott, but I’ve been going around doing a bunch of other stuff. I actually got right to the final boss in like August or September, and then accidentally lost my save file because I uninstalled the game while Steam Cloud was turned off :(. Took a huge break and then started again recently with the announcement of Nightreign coming this year.

          I’m rocking a bleed/dex build with the bloodhound fang at the moment. I haven’t played any of the other fromsoft games except Sekiro.

            Noooooo I’m SO sorry about your save! That’s awful! D:

            I actually respec’d FROM a Bloodhound Fang build to a Moonveil build hahaha. Moonveil also inflicts bleed but if you hold R2 and press L2, it has a ranged attack that destroys HARD. I’m currently in the expansion (and it is hard)

              Oh man that sounds awesome, I’ve never used the moonveil but maybe I’ll have to give it a try.

              On the save that I lost I was using Morgott’s cursed sword and really liked it that’s maybe one of my favorite weapons I’ve ever used. I had gotten to the DLC but was planning on actually exploring it after I beat the game (rip). I really was very butthurt about it for a while there but I’ve moved on lol

                I’ll have to check out Morgott’s cursed sword too! I have soooo many larval tears. I’ve really been having a blast with Moonveil. I watch a streamer’s VODs and it was recommended to him. Watching him use it looked so fun, and it is! It’s also an int build so I finally get to try Comet Azure hahaha

                  I legit haven’t even tried an int build, I’ve been a little too afraid to leave bleed builds 💀

                  Do you have a link to the moon veil build your using or something? I kinda wanna try it it sounds like a fun experiment lol

      I’m doing pretty good today! I’ve been preparing for a New Year’s party and baking a lot of stuff for it, it’s something I like to do a lot so it’s been great so far.

      I have been unemployed for about 8 months now, I took a 9 month 600 hour marketing course that got me several certifications and helped me start my own projects but have yet to get any employment out of it. My marketing education is actually what helped me open my eyes to how I should care for my privacy more than I do and help others do the same.

      I’ve used what I’ve learned to help grow my own projects, but in a way that is respectful and not malicious. Using it for “good instead of evil” if you will. I honestly don’t think I could work professionally in marketing in my right mind, because most people don’t do it the respectful way and it’d honestly make me feel like a bad person, so I’ve actually been mainly looking for jobs outside of it, or only applying for agencies and companies that I think seem trustworthy.

      But, I’ve been trying to keep myself busy in the time with those projects, kind of trying to turn that into my job. I have a music blog that I run, I do some freelance writing, and more recently have been pursuing a YouTube, all three of which have seen pretty decent success. I’ve been fortunate enough to be in a situation where I have the freedom to pursue that as I continue my job search, and I have a deep appreciation for those that help and support me. It’s frustrating and sad to do so many interviews week to week and hear nothing back, but I have a great support system so it’s not so bad. And yes, although I do wish I had better income, I do like my job it’s pretty fun :)

      tldr, I’ve been lucky enough to use my education to support my own projects as my “job” while I pursue a real job, and I do like it. Sorry for the long and complicated answer, I had a lot to say about it.

        I think my organs are fine? Everything seems to be in order. I’ve never seen them before with my own eyes but I’m pretty sure they’re in the right place, I’ll update you if I’m informed otherwise

    What advice (uplifting or real-shit depressing) would you give to someone who just turned 18?

      I feel like my life didn’t really amount to much until I started just doing things rather than thinking about them. Keep track of every idea you have, every time you think “maybe I should try that” or “hmm that seems interesting” and then refer back to it whenever you’re bored. If you ever find yourself doom scrolling or anything like that that’s unproductive refer back to that and give something a go. It’s worth trying.

        Well said. I’m 34, totally agree. I would also add to stick with something difficult and get over the initial learning curve. I learned how to longboard in college because my best friend was a natural skater, I was terrible at it starting out, but 16 years later I longboard around the neighborhood when the weather is nice. I have a couple scars from my mistakes, but years later 34 year old me doesn’t regret 18-22 year old me doing that at all.

      I grew up my whole life thinking that I just wouldn’t vote in the election when I could because it just didn’t matter and wasn’t that important . This past one was the first one I was old enough to and boy has my opinion on that changed.
