I want it to be cooler weather again....

++ One of the things I hate about warm weather is how irritable it makes me. I was just reminded of this yesterday when I basically had a little freakout over nothing, and it was a combination of other things happening but the warm air didn't help matters which escalated the way I was feeling. :/

++ The Last Of Us was renewed for a third season ahead of the season two premiere. Well, obviously. I would sure hope so. We knew months ago that the second game was going to be split into two (or possible more?) seasons, and it would be foolish to just not renew something that is basically going to be incomplete as a story itself. It reminds me of the situation with Dune with them splitting it into two movies even though the second one wasn't filmed yet after the first was released, a decision of studios and whatever else creatives have that I still don't understand. Regardless, it's just good that there's further confirmation with TLOU.

++ NaNoWriMo is officially shutting down for good. This has been a long time coming considering the numerous controversies and scandals over the years, with their whole ordeal surrounding genAI being the final nail in the coffin.

Funnily, it took until quite recently to realize that NaNoWriMo was an actual non-profit organization. I had long thought that it was simply just a self-induced prompt that writers challenged themselves and promoted it annually to write and complete a story in a month. It wasn't until some of the issues that arose not too long ago was being spread around that I finally understood, lol. I'm hoping that this doesn't discourage people from continuing challenging themselves with their writing, since I know a lot got their starts and were pushed to finish their projects because of NaNoWriMo. They can just continue on without the organization.

Oh my god, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who doesn't really enjoy warm weather. As March in my country is a little bit torn between what season it wants to act as, I've been dealing with it better than when it will get warm all the time in the following months as we approach summer.
Everyone acts like it's already summer and opening windows and doors at the same time, creating environments so windy that my sinusitis acts up immediately and I'm sneezing all the time with the allergies. But hey, it's warm! Sun! You should smile! *grunt*

I also thought Nanowrimo was a challenge in the same way I thought inktober also was. And just like that one, I think writers will continue doing it on their own.

Yeah, same here. Of course the weather fluctuates between seasons all the time, but climate change has really made it more noticeable over the years. We recently went from having really cool temperatures to sudden warm/humid and then back to cool again. And it's quite a reminder that I really, really don't like warm weather. I mean, I can handle it fine when it's mild or has a nice breeze, but when it's heavy warm air that feels suffocating, that's bad. It makes me dread summer so much, honestly. :/
