Silent hill 2 (Remake)

I’d never encountered *the fog* before Bloober Team’s recent and lovingly rendered redux of Konami’s cherished horror classic, but I can say with complete certainty that it is my personality now. the anguished cry with which hero (?) James Sunderland stomps to death monstrosities beyond our most blood-curdling imaginations will stay with me for years to come. if you, like me, were too busy in 2001 printing out seasonal fishing charts for your Animal Crossing binder to give the original SH2 a visit, I thoroughly recommend making the trip now. in my restless dreams, I see that town…

never been much of a gamer but maybe i am changing?

ive never been much of a gamer, but I recently tried playing that’s not my neighbor and it was actually really fun (perhaps because of its rather simple game setup) so I’m kind of invested into playing more but primarily ones with more serious storylines this vid here caught my eye today (highly recommend, very well organized and made me think a lot about my own experiences!!) i first encountered silent hill 2 when I was 12 and I didn’t really process the story or its themes in that first gameplay but revisiting the game as an adult has kind of blown my mind a bit by just how heavy the emotional weight of the game is (and how I had no business playing it at the age of 12…) I haven’t played mouthwashing but I am really interested in playing it after watching this video interested in other recommendations as well!

Watching gameplays to fall asleep

I’ve recently been watching Rule of Rose (remake) on youtube. It’s a masterfully twisted game and beautifully done. Something about watching gameplays has always soothed me. I would always fall asleep to Silent Hill 2 gameplays during the pandemic. You just have to turn down the boss fights when you’re finally trying to sleep; it can get a little abrasive. Stay away from gameplays with commentary please. You don’t need a random white guy's opinion on the creature design right now- just too goddamn annoying

Starting over

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” — Anaïs Nin This is uncharacteristically raw and personal, even for me, and pretty heavy! I know many of you have seen me posting through it and I feel safe to talk about it openly now that I’ve safely landed at the start of my new life. It’s honestly even a little bit embarrassing but I think it’s important to share. I’ve never publicly mentioned it on here, but I have a husband; as of Friday, we’d have been together for 11 years, and we’ve been married for 3 years as of 2/22. I realize now that I wanted to explore what I looked like outside of my relationship with him because I had lost that. This is why PI.FYI has been so meaningful to me as a space to express myself and connect with people—to rediscover my voice. I had been living a lie this entire time, to others but worst of all to myself. He’s been verbally and emotionally abusive, physically but without touching me, to the point that every day I spent with him I was in danger. I’ve been shrinking myself and walking on eggshells to avoid making him insecure and provoking his casual put-downs and fits of rage, while hanging on for dear life to the threads of good I could see. I’ve wanted so badly to leave, more than anything, but I felt like there was no way out and that this was just something I would need to endure indefinitely—but someone who is so very dear to me helped me see that I have wings to fly, not by acting as my savior but by reminding me of my own power. The emotional safety they built and the gentle care they showed me made me feel like I could open up to them. With their encouragement I was brave enough to tell the truth to my friends, my family, my boss, and they have received me with warm, loving and open arms and rallied to support and protect me. The financial and  logistical aspects were the most intimidating to me and it’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to be better than okay! Now I’m opening up to you. This isn’t the only abuse I’ve suffered in my life, and my old therapist told me she believed it was my mission to share my strength and light with others to inspire them and show them that change is possible. I hope that by sharing this, I can reach even just one person who is going through something similar and show that they are not alone, and they are not weak. People with certain backgrounds may be more vulnerable to abuse, but it can happen to anyone. It thrives in darkness, shame, and isolation—and breaking that silence is the first step toward freedom. Leaving is the scariest thing I have ever done but I have so many angels around me, and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being here with me 💌

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
