July 2025 Favorites

This month was pretty up and down for me. There were moments I felt so connected and appreciated. And moments I felt so lost and lonely. I've been writing a lot of poetry lately. And trying to figure out... everything? I don't know how to end that sentence. Let's move onto the favorites...

Dance Academy: I watched the Dance Academy movie for the first time. And it was sooo good. Really loved the idea of trying to reconnect with your dreams while also discovering that maybe your dreams have shifted a bit from what they used to be. That resonates so much with me right now.

Balatro: If you like video games, you have probably heard of this game. It's a card game. It's more than a card game. It's very fun.

UFO 50: So, Bestie went through and showed me every game in this collection. Most of them seemed pretty cool. Really liked the short horror game. Definitely worth looking into if you like retro-style games.

Jeff Gerstmann: When I've felt lonely lately, I've switched on Jeff Gerstmann's podcast. I started following Jeff in 2006. And his various podcasts and videos have been making me laugh and keeping me company ever since. I hadn't spent much time with his current podcast, so I've been having fun catching up.

YouTube/Twitch Favs: igobyGRAVEN (Riku's Voice Actor) Plays Kingdom Hearts, The Book Leo's Performative Readers video, Moon Channel's Gatcha Games videos, Jeff Gerstmann's Super Mario Special video.
