Hi!

Dota 2 has been a pleasure to watch and play recently.
The people involved have especially good synergy, the patch is ok (I actually like that games are going 70+ minutes a lot now), and I still get to play with my dota friends.
The synergy within the current talent set I think is so calming and comfortable compared to all past sets. It's like everyone is older now and is more chilled out.
For streams, I usually watch gorgc and dnmdota every day. Watching gorgc is like watching your little brother try his best.

I played a really good magnus game today, I got really good ults!


A thought exercise I had today was to live on very low spendings.
I would need to:

  • Stop eating red meat, since that's expensive. Would have to be replaced by pork and chicken.
  • Pay attention to seasonal vegetables instead of buying okra and bok choy 50,000 times - eat more potatoes?
  • my gas, water and electricity are around 80 a month so I think that's ok
  • Minimize online subscriptions - the ones I have right now are:
Product Price Freq.
email 60 2yr
vpn 120 2yr
neocities 5 1mth
vps 6 1mth
spotify 10 1mth

ommitted: the 400 dollars I spend on MapleStory every month (please don't tell anyone)

I guess I would have to get rid of all of them other than mail

For some reason I keep thinking about raising a child in low income situations. I guess it sounds like a fun challenge though that sounds like an ignorant sentiment.


I want to revisit the thought on being a tree from the last post.

That thought settled in my mind pretty well.
I do feel like a tree!
I don't do much now - I don't draw, hobby program, I don't really connect with people like I used to
I have my routines, which is, to take my daily notes, work, play dota with my other fellow tree friends sometimes, do housework, buy bread from the bakery, buy red meat and vegetables from the supermarket, be a good girlfriend on the weekends.
And I guess I'm pretty content with that.
If I was to ask for one thing it would be more rest.
But I guess I can rest when I'm old!!
