Dude... You got to FLIP it. TURN-WAYS.
i blazed thru the Mechanical, Stoneship & Selenitic Age. my mom, who played through Myst only once and has a strong distaste for re-experiencing any media at all (except for Watership Down, which she reread ~10 times), claimed that the Selenitic age was awful, since it was a blind maze. i crawled into the Mazerunner chamber and immediately realized that the sounds it makes were ones i was already familiar with, so i got thru it first try! im on to Channelwood, my last Age.
i discovered Macintosh Garden has disc copies of the entirety of the Myst series excepting Uru, so im totally covered for if i really really like Riven enough to play all its other sequels, which i dont think will be as good.
i picked at the idea of picking up amateur radio again. i dont have a license, but i bought a booklet that's accurate 'till June 30, which then the FCC will change the questions in its standardized quiz and i'll have to buy a new book or whatever. i dont really care about it all that much; i dont want to invest a million bucks into radio equipment, and while i like listening i don't really know what i'd transmit anyway. what middle-aged american, german or perhaps russian guy wants to talk to a teenaged twink about computers and shit over the staticky high-frequency AM? i dont understand a lot of the stuff involved and i would probably get some information overload trying to learn it all before June. i still feel the urge to try, because i still have the book and i put money into it and it hasn't expired yet, and i do not like this urge! but i tried reading some more of it today. the last time i picked up the book was somewhere in early '25 YoI (last year, Year of Impetus), and i got until the circuitry and resistance and voltage area and my brain crawled into its cryochamber and rerouted the information back out of my other ear instead.
