Probably useless notion but here it is anyhow: now that, after 20+years, I’ve switched gaming allegiances from the XBox (back) to the Playstation, PRESS (A) TO START feels like a relic as a title…
Can't shake the feeling of something being off with the main PRESS(A) 02 story (particularly the ending) so I'm having a go at rewriting it to explore a path not taken – which probably means a delay on releasing it, but fuck it: it comes out when it comes out – and it won't come out until it feels right (enough) to me.
the emptying: endrun, finale
Done, done, done: keys with the lawyer. Sale closes tomorrow. Bittersweet end. Now to figure out what to do with the rest of my life.
bye, social – one month+ later
Been a month since I left social media and I don't miss it at all. I take that back: I miss some of the digital people, certainly, and their work – but I don't miss the rest of it, that perpetual feeling of repeating myself (that was the biggest one, especially over the last year), of fragmenting myself, of all the other assorted fuckeries that came along in the 15 years I was “present” on any one of a variety of networks.
No, I'm happy here (and with the newsletter), with doing my own things, with exploring other options for life (especially once The Emptying is complete, which should be today), and with carving out my own little existence and identity here in this new whatever it is. And so I go, on and on.
