Just realized I'm neurodivergent (and that's ok)

 I had heard the term "neurodivergent" before, but I didn't know exactly what it meant. Now I realize, I definitely am. I always knew I felt different in some ways, and after reading about what this term actually means, I realized it fits me perfectly. There are many forms of being this way, including being on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and having bipolar disorder.

A funny meme about being distracted as a neurodivergent.

Is there a stigma around being neurodivergent? 

I'm not really sure, but there shouldn't be. We are all different, and we should embrace that and be proud of who we are. This type of thing is pretty common now, so it's not really frowned upon as much as it used to be.

I'm glad I did more research and learned more about this.

Why are certain people internet trolls?

 Why do some people troll? I wonder what they get out of it. Maybe they're just looking for attention. I think that's why they do it. 

Internet trolls are not fun to deal with

Internet trolls want attention

I mean, why troll people, unless you just want attention? I don't see how they enjoy messing with people. Seems a little weird. But some people really seem to enjoy doing this to online content creators, leaving rude comments and things like that.

Why they do it

I guess trolls are sometimes jealous of others' successes. I think that's what it boils down to. The moral of the story is, don't be a troll!

Funny joke idea (you'll love this one)

 I think a hilarious joke/prank idea would be to go into a convenience store to buy a soda. When you're checking out (assuming there is a line of people), hold your finger up and instantly go into an old man voice and say:

"Back in my day, a soda only cost a nickel!" 

I think that would probably get a good laugh from the people standing around. I love thinking of random jokes and funny things like this. Happens all the time. Oh, and I really love drinking soda, by the way. It is such an amazing drink.

Why I love retro gaming so much (an explanation)

 Here's why I love retro gaming. Or as some people like to call it, "old school gaming". It has a certain charm to it. There's just something about the 8-bit graphics, music, and all of that.

Gaming is the best

I love settling in and playing a good NES, Genesis, or Atari game. I love all retro games; it doesn't matter which console they're from. 8-bit graphics are my favorite, but I also love Atari, 16-bit consoles, and so on.

Gaming is awesome.

Retro gaming is amazing

I love new gaming too, but retro is my favorite. There are a lot of people who agree with me. The NES is definitely my favorite console, hands down. Classic gaming for the win. Remember playing Nintendo games back in the 80s?

A good gaming session

Technical specs of the amazing NES console

 Key takeaway:

The NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) was a really amazing video game console and blew people away at the time it was released with its impressive technical specs.

It was first released as the FAMICOM in Japan. In June 1985, Nintendo unveiled the American version of the FAMICOM, which was to be called the NES.

There were 17 games that were launched with the console.

Here are the technical specifications of the NES:

• An 8-bit CPU [Ricoh 2A03 8-bit processor with MOS Technology 6502 core at 1.79 MHz (NTSC) / 1.66 MHz (PAL)]
• 2k RAM and also 2K of Video RAM (which can both have more added by the game cartridge), 256 bytes of RAM for sprites
• 2 controllers and a "Zapper" light gun
• Most NES games were written in the 6502 assembly language

More about the console

The best-selling game of the NES's lifespan was Super Mario Bros., which spawned a whole franchise of Mario games. Tweet: The lifespan of the Nintendo was from 1985 to 1995. In the 90s, games became better because developers knew how to make better use of the hardware.

Longevity

The NES lives on with millions of people who love to play it on a daily basis. NES games are particularly popular in the speedrunning community. Retro gaming is truly amazing and continues to live on. Take Super Mario Bros., for example; just look at the longevity of that game!

Coffee is great anytime (so pour yourself a cup!)

 If you think about it, coffee is great at any time of day. Don't you agree? You can drink it right when you wake up in the morning, and it gets your day off to a great start. Gives you lots of energy to get going.

Do you love a cup of Joe?

Or you can drink it at noon, or at night (if you like staying up late, like me). Coffee is one of those drinks that is really amazing at any time of day.

I love a good cup of coffee

Let's all celebrate how amazing coffee is. I couldn't imagine my life without this glorious drink, to be honest. I have been drinking it since high school, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

Enjoy a sparkling flavored water (blog)

 Sitting here enjoying a flavored sparkling water, and just enjoying the day. I love these beverages. They're so tasty!

Flavored water is so tasty

They're so crisp and refreshing. Sometimes I feel like having one of these instead of a diet soda. Who can blame me for that? 

Sparkling water is tasty

These are especially good when the weather is hot outside, but they're great any time of year. Just very refreshing and really quenches your thirst. How could you not love to drink this stuff? I love reaching for one when I'm thirsty.

I love speedrunning (video games)

 I love speedrunning. I got into it earlier this year (2024). I just wanted to see if I could do it. It was kind of like a challenge to myself. 

Gaming is really fun.

I was just kind of messing around at first. And then I beat my first couple of games, and I was hooked. Then I started taking it seriously. And started really loving it a lot more than I thought I would! I didn't know what to expect, to be honest. I just figured I'd give it a go and see what happens.

Gaming is for everyone.

It's my passion

"Speedrunning is so fun. I never imagined I would develop such a passion for it. I really love it. I love gaming in general, so I also just do casual playthroughs."

Look at her gaming!

Arcus is the one who really got me into speedrunning, so thanks, pal!

Happy November...it's Christmas time

 Merry Christmas, guys...it's that time of year again, November. I technically start celebrating Christmas on November 1st most years. Jolly St. Nick will be coming to visit soon. That's right, Santa Claus will be coming from the North Pole straight to our chimneys.

It's the holiday season

So as soon as Halloween is over, I get into the Christmas spirit and put up my Christmas decorations the very next day.

Christmas is my favorite time of year

I love the holiday season, it's my favorite time of year. It's a time of year when people get a little friendlier, and we all help each other out a little more.

It's a time of year to remember what's really important in life. And to be grateful and count our blessings. 

Don't you love Christmas?

I'm really happy

I'm so excited. I love watching Christmas shows and movies on t.v, drinking hot chocolate, and watching the Christmas tree, and everything else that comes along with the season.

Christmas is just amazing. What are you doing to get in the spirit?

Trying to not "doomscroll" as much

 Key takeaway: 

Doomscrolling can be very toxic and bad for mental health, and I am trying to limit how much I do it.

I'm trying to quit doomscrolling. That's where you look at social media and just scroll through for a long time, even when it's mostly sad and depressing, or toxic.

Do you doomscroll?

Doomscrolling is toxic

We torture ourselves sometimes. I'm trying to do better about it.

Breaks from social media and news are always good for your mental health. Mental health is one of the most important things you have in this life.

So take care of it!

Put down your phone sometimes and go outside, or just do something constructive. It's good for you! I feel so much better when I take breaks from social media. And you will too.
