Blogging is Hard

 Straight up, what the title says.


I can be very talkative when I have things to say, but then sometimes I shut up for a long time. But in this day and age, it's hard to keep readers if you aren't 'churning out content.' I guess I don't make content, I just sort of ramble about various topics. 

Been doing a nice job of replenishing the CD/LP collection; for those who don't know, I had moved overseas...well damn near 20 years ago by now, but I still only kept a select bunch of favorite albums, since moving overseas is hard enough as it is. Then streaming became a thing. I'd still grab a favorite here and there, and always tried to buy games hard copy, but I've gone full on back into the hard-copy-of-everything itis. Tabletop RPG books(I had gone mostly digital with those), LPs, CDs, DVDs, books, everything. 

(Another reason I had slowed down was just that we had a Lot Of Stuff(tm), that we've since given away/donated that was some stuff that we realized we hadn't used in years; this freed up room to buy New Stuff We Use. I also used to live in a house in the US; there was endless more space for stuff, even a large flat has more limited space, but now that we've done some big work on the place remodeling over the past decade and stuff I realized hey, there's lots more space now!)

I'm probably still never going to be the way I used to with music(where I'd haul home massive quantities every week thanks to employee discounts and dirt-cheap used places near us in the 2000s), but owning a nicely-sized collection to DJ with is certainly on the cards, as well as a shelf of like, top 20 movies or something and my Shadowrun 1st-3rd book collection. (Retro games take up quite a bit of room, but I like having systems.)

Hopefully I'll figure out some sort of posting thing. Maybe I don't need a straight up schedule; if I feel like chatting about something, I'll upload something. I prefer to do it here than on social media(more room to info dump, which is always a good thing.) 

I DO have plans to ramble about Rebel Extravaganza and how it's a game-changer at some point soon, though.
