Aliens, Video Games, and Art (6-23-25):

The other day I was watching the movie "Asteroid City" from 2023. I enjoy Wes Anderson movies quite a lot and have been getting pestered to watch it. It was very late (early) around 2ish in the morning and I noticed the morning sky was flashing a lot. It was very funny to be watching a movie about aliens and strange phenomena happening outside lol.

I thought this was so crazy I went outside to see it for myself. I'll include a cool image below of what was going on. The sky was flashing bright orangish-yellow repeatedly and without any noise or thunder. It was very beautiful.

It lasted for about an hour and then stopped suddenly.

I think the alien nature of Asteroid City got to me and I was partially expecting news articles and stuff the next day. But it's best to keep your imagination in check. Sadly no little grey aliens here.

What happened was actually pretty normal and you can read all about it here: LINK

I've had too much free time now thats its summer and I have to some way to keep myself from going crazy staying with family in nowhere rural America. I've mainly been playing games for 4+ hours a day instead of working on this website... or getting a job.

I've been playing a survival game called "Abiotic Factor" which is pretty good. I've been playing "Stardew Valley" too, a farming sim. Both of these games have lots of grindy gameplay and also multiplayer. I played both games alone though. This makes me think, is it stupid to spend so much time on something that no-one else will ever see?

This is something that goes beyond just games.

I find it hard to enjoy stuff sometimes when I think that it'll never go anywhere and no one will ever experience it. I don't want money or anything, I just to make sure I'm remembered or made an impact in some way. Maybe that's just thinking about it all wrong. Maybe if I simply just enjoy it that's all that really matters. In a way I am making an impact on me.

I would like to contribute to some big projects I think, even if its small. Maybe that just means I want to be included in something lol. I have some cool online friends who are always up to something, maybe I could help or add in some way. Hopefully I start making headway on something one day though, maybe this website is that.

A lot of people feel the same way and thats very comforting.

I hope this doesn't come off as woe-is-me, just stuff i've been thinking about recently. More videos in the Library as well, go check it out.
