I am in Disco Elysium Hellllll right now. My brain has finally come to a concrete decision. Yes, we will be fixated on this shit for as long as it takes to burn out, which in my experience lasts as long as there is a fandom still active so fuck me I'm not getting any rest for at minimum a few months. The good news is I've already burned through like 90% of the fic and all the video and written meta that I can find and am starting to hit redundancies, so that's good. But the bad news is that I have found a fan discord and the discussion there is fascinating and makes burrowing through the lore and picking apart all the possible interactions in the game that much easier, so here I am on play through 3 going at a snails pace because I am now stopping to edit the wiki every time Encyclopedia says  something.

The only other thing that half has my attention right now is Chihayafuru. I'm still sneaking episodes of that in once a week or so, and am mid way through season three. I'm enjoying it a ton and love Chihaya so much! And I'm too invested in the love triangle. I know it's impossible but god damn they would make such a good threesome. There's no way in hell Taichi hasn't had the occasional ~complicated feeling about Arata.

I may have a chance to short circuit my compulsion for Disco with a new/old compulsion in a couple of weeks because the Overwatch League is about to start its fourth season, and I have watched something like 80% percent of every season since one, which is a fuck ton of games, and since the number of games this season is fewer and the season shorter there's a good chance I can get to them all. That's a lot of time out of the day let me tell you, and it allows for no other idleness. With the changes made in the off season I feel like even the Shock aren't a sure thing right now. I'm still riding on the Guanzhou train, but I have no idea what to expect from them. Honestly, I'm just pleasantly surprised that the league has lasted this long. When season one started I told myself I'd get what enjoyment I could out of it until it flopped in maybe three years, and here we are, year four!

Until the League starts I am sitting here stewing in the desire to immerse myself completely in all that is Disco. I've been writing but according to my track record I might get one fic out in one year and it will be pretty milquetoast. I'm not sure why the end result of what I write is always like that, when my tastes can get pretty extreme. Fear of exposure maybe.
