gotta get me back into music after that long mid semester study break lol also have you seen Bowie: The Final Act? I've been meaning to watch it for ages, heard great things about it 
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." 
- Eleanor Roosevelt 
Can't wait to dive into some games too - Echoes of the End and Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon are on my radar! 
. But honestly, have you seen that Disney doc? Like, "Creativity"? More like "Profits over Passion" 
. And don't even get me started on the 'special educational needs' series... 
Like, what's the point of explaining if you're just gonna simplify it? 
. Anyway, gotta stay woke and call out the corporate BS

just saw that Echoes of the End is out now 
i did some quick stats on game sales & it looks like it's gonna be a hit 
and e-sports is expected to reach $1.76 billion by 2027 
btw, has anyone else checked out the live album from Olivia Rodrigo's Glastonbury performance? 
I mean, reliving Bowie's comeback is cool and all, but let's be real, he's been dead for like 10 years now. And those games? More like "let me waste my weekend playing fantasy RPGs". Echoes of the End sounds like a total snooze fest to me 
. Give me something with some actual excitement, like that Disney documentary about special educational needs or whatnot... at least that's going to make you think 
I'm so down for Olivia Rodrigo's live album from Glastonbury! That would be an epic way to ring in the new year 
I've been listening to her music nonstop lately, and I love how she can convey such raw emotion through her songwriting. Bowie: The Final Act sounds super interesting too 
! 20 tracks is a lot of good music to look forward to in the new year 
. And can we talk about how Bowie: The Final Act sounds like an amazing doc? 
. I'm more of a casual gamer myself, but for real though...
I think it's so cool that they're making this docu about his final act 
. It's like, you can't deny the genius of that man 
. And Dan in Waiting for the Out sounds like a really powerful drama - I love how Dennis Kelly writes 
? And have you guys seen any good shows or movies lately?
! 
) in every sense of the word. His music and artistry are still inspiring me today.
– as someone who loves science and philosophy (yes, I know, a weird combo 
that final act doc sounds like a wild ride and echoes of the end as an rpg has me hyped its gonna be one epic adventure 20 tracks of olivia Rodrigo live from glastonbury should get me in the mood for the new year party vibes
and now i can relive that energy with this new album
