Chapter 2 of daybreak was a little more underwhelming for me compared to the previous chapters. Specifically the chapter climax, everything was really good before it but the Tyrant was kind of stupid ngl

Aaron is a great char tho, and still excited to play more

I forget but has @koopa895.bsky.social told you about the ken, santi, manacloud fortune street adventures

I'm a couple of hours into Trails through Daybreak but this game fucking rules

may have spoken too soon

I'm alive!

I have once again made 0 progress on my goals this week, but I'm much more forgiving this time around because I contracted some sort of death blight

Spend most of the last couple of days in bed with a fever and still have a nasty cough as a souvenir

I'm giving myself an F for progress made towards achieving goals this weekend

That's okay

Now that I've acknowledged it, I can and will do better this week

I played unranked for almost half the day today

Whatever neurodivergent cocktail I have it always gets me at times like this

Honestly though I'm more upset with my own play than any my opponents. Not sure if it's something with my setup, but I haven't felt in control of my char in awhile

i've never had dave's hot chicken in the daytime, i'm afraid the question is still up in the air

It was a mistake going to this Dave's Hot Chicken. I am fucking TRAPPED

7 episodes into Fate/Strange Fake

I really don't have a lot of hope for the show, but the setup for the next set of fights seem really fun

I'm tired of action tho tbh, I need some characters with insanely self mutilating inner conflicts to overcome

Also dont know why I think this was a good idea but I have Professor Jiang in the background explaining how we're entering WW3

Today I wrote lots of notes which was good

Everything else bad
Current task at work sucks ass
Played bad melee
Didnt go for my run
Im still awake doing the shit ass work task

Really want to throw something LOL

Might just try stream of consciousnesss posting on this account more just to not get stuck in my headspace

Anyhow it was crazy seeing the news about Iran while I was getting ready for a friend's wedding out of state

It's late but here's some new years resolutions I have:
- Get into running (going well)
- More focused improvement in melee
- Get through media backlog
- Write more - notes and reviews (related to two points above)

i started running this year

it felt like a humiliation ritual when i did it in school as the fat kid, but it's 2026 and i am the reclaimer

it's actually felt quite good so far so definitely hoping to keep it up for the rest of the year

I keep throwing away $10 by entering uni2 brackets at majors like im going to practice or play in any capacity leading up LOL

Amazing series. Have you also tried Xenogears?

down air

Yo

Its called hollow knight because now that ive done everything ive wanted i am hollow inside

Sucks how awesome it feels to wake up early

10/10
unbelievably peak actually

i.e. "Hi guys, did you know this is Estelle Bright. She's a bracer from Liberl who was greatly involved in the Aureole incident" etc. etc. I think every now and again is fine, but I think it's okay for some people in the story to not know who other people are

So I think having exposition to fully flesh out characters and a setting and bind them to a story and its central themes is very good and important to some of the best stories ever told. When it gets excessive imo is when Falcom specifically is trying to reintroduce returning things to new players

Playing through Reverie rn

I think a lot of RPGs have the problem of underexplaining setting, characters, and themes and most Trails games (especially the longer the series has gone on) have the opposite problem

It's really, really good. I love the way the characters interact with present day things like historical artifacts, kind of like they're reflecting of human history leading up to its conclusion.

Girls Last Tour

This manga is a vibe and then some

9/10

This episode so good LOL tho Ive said the same about most episodes Ive seen in the rewatch

Calling it surrealist theater is so key, cuz this presentation is also how they present the themes of the show related to gender roles and abusive relationships

Rewatching utena and this show is so incredible when you realize to what degree everyone is FUCKING LYING
