History

I've started emulation 3ds games on my phone, surprised at how well it handles. Alpha Sapphire is really fun so far, wish I had better battery life tho :/

I've been developing some attention span and memory issues. First, I'm having trouble concentrating on, for example, studying. I read texts for Uni mostly on PDF format, it's quite tiring sometimes and the texts are huge, and so it happens that I lose attention very quickly (like right now, I should be reading about internal markets in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru and I'm posting on hexbear instead). I'm easily distracted, maybe this isn't a massive issue and it happens to pretty much everyone.

But the issue that kinda worries me the most is my terrible memory as of late. For example, I was playing Minecraft today and I was walking around my unfinished base thinking about possible layouts, then I figured out I needed more stone and so I went to the chests to gather some sticks, iron and spare pickaxes. But by the time I made it to the storage area, I completely forgot what I wanted to do. So I grabbed a fishing rod instead and went fishing, only later I realized I wanted to gather supplies to go mining for a bit. On other instances I suffer the classic "What was I going to tell you?" when I speak with someone else, or I completely lose track of what I was thinking and then struggle really hard to remember. For example, it could be me just thinking about something like a certain historial event (Let's just say, the Battle of Kadesh) that I want to read a little bit on (that means, googling it). Mere seconds later I completely forget what I was trying to google and no matter how hard I try, I can't remember it.

Maybe it's just temporary and I am not developing alzheimer at the age of 30. Maybe it's just the context I am in that troubles me: Exams coming up, I am without a job, money is running short, the economy is fucked and the fascists are going to win the elections. Maybe my mind is busy with something else and that is causing distractions or whatever, maybe? I've had this happen before when I wasn't too troubled by external things, though.

What to do? I'm open to suggestions from people who had similar experiences.

Based on the documentary and constantly coming out of retirement I imagine Miyazaki's whole creative process is just the it's so over/we're so back meme

Can someone please recommend me a solid minimalist phone photo editor app for Android? Please keep in mind I may be stoned while working in this application.

I read "General Benjamin Davis" and was, oooh they're doing the Tuskegee airmen in the mega now?

Phew. Would have been a struggle session, that one.

Does David grabber’s “debt” have a portion on interest?

Somehow missed that Sunn amps is back

I've been thinking of Alice Isn't Dead lately. That podcast had themes relating to lgbt stuff and social justice that might've been called too on the nose if it had come out a decade later. The leftist things I truly relished back in my lib days, you know?
