Syl 
I'm a 30-something accountant and freelance writer based in the Appalachians, but my heart is in New York. I'm into video games, heavy metal, coffee, public transit, nature, and all things horror. 🏳️🌈 🇵🇸
A few favorites:
game: Koudelka (PS1, 1999)
band: Lacuna Coil
horror film: Halloween (1978)
non-horror film: Klute (1971)
public transit system: Seattle's Sound Transit
coffee order: mocha latte with oat milk
😔 I've been dealing with iron deficiency anemia and haven't felt 100% myself lately, so I might be slow to update for a bit. I'm hoping to get back to regular blogging soon!
🎮 Working on volume 3 of my indie game recs zine and hoping to have it posted tomorrow!
Aaand it's here!! Volume 3 of my zine: Syl's Indie Game Recs! I hope you enjoy it and find some new small games to play. 😊
🎶 I went back and added some songs to my Crucial Tracks profile! Been listening to a lot of Hemlocke Springs lately. https://www.crucialtracks.org/profile/crimsonlea
📚 I'm going to a used book sale at one of my city's libraries tomorrow! I'm excited to see what I can find in the stacks.

Participating in #Blaugust and discovering new blogs through it.

Coffee delivery day! I get ethically sourced coffee from illy delivered to my door every three weeks.

Rainy and overcast days. I'm savoring them as much as possible before the weather heats up again, and I know Ranni is enjoying them too. She can play and fetch as much as she wants without getting too tired or overheated. Can't wait for autumn!

I'm playing Ocarina of Time! @joel@fosstodon.org and I are doing a play-along and I'm way behind, but I plan on making good progress today. It's nice to be back in Hyrule and to hear Zelda's Lullaby.

We have an appointment for Ranni to get spayed. I'm nervous about it, but I'm glad we made the appointment and are getting it over with.

First cup of coffee today was extra good! ☕

Silent Hill Townfall is out! I managed to play a couple of hours this morning, and I'm loving the atmosphere of St. Amelia.

Good news from my endoscopy. Nothing major to worry about.

Good coffee. I feel like this will always be on this list, especially if I'm writing it in the morning. :P

My husband finally finished his last two weeks at his former job, which means he's no longer working double shifts! We get to hang out today!

Autumn weather. Heck yes. I'm wearing a sweatshirt.

I watched Hades in Concert on YouTube and it was great! Haven't played Hades 2 yet, but the music of both games is fantastic.
