This week has honestly just been me playing some goodass videogames. I'm happy I wrote anything because I feel like all I've done is spend my time playing stuff, haha. --- ## Interesting Stuff ### Tsurugi!Mint [Morgan](https://cohost.org/lonesovereignty?page=0) was kind enough to make a color palette for my Under Night 2 main Tsurugi! It's great, can't wait to learn how to use this green-haired dumbass more! ![[2bbb6768ffef0292364931c2785bcbf2-Full.webp]] ![[550fbf86ae017660bcaeb7aa431f0d77-Full.webp]] Thanks fam!! --- ## Writing ### [[Extraction Shooters]] I don't get them. I tried to write about why. I still don't really get them. If you do, feel free to explain! I'm down to update the page, as I mention in it. ### [[Be Someone's Bigolas Dickolas]] Some thoughts on relying on others for your creativity. It's interesting to think about! ### [[Waking Up Early]] I've been waking up early since near the beginning of 2024, and I've really enjoyed the change of pace! I've stuck with it very consistently. You can read about how it helped me! ### [[Killing the Web With a Smile]] I wrote a very long diatribe about how annoying a web browser company is being. This company in particular is hilariously annoying to me because it so obviously pivoted to LLMs away from their original goal (creating a good web-browser). Mmm I love [[Enshittification|enshittification]]. --- ## What I'm Playing I am inhaling [[Like a Dragon - Infinite Wealth (2024)]] still. 32ish hours as of this writing. I have lots that I'm thinking about wrt it but I wanna finish the game first. Not that I'm anywhere near close - I'm on chapter 7 and there are 14 of these things. *That said* I've actually done 40 out of 52 substories so I might just start chugging through the main story now. I'll probably finish the Sujimon questline as well - I like the island resort but it's a bit too repetitive and slow-paced for me, although I'm sure that's where the game's biggest money gets made. We'll see! there could be a whole bunch more game I'm not aware of. I also got [[Granblue Fantasy - Relink (2024)]] and it's been a blast. It's basically *Phantasy Star Online 3* in all but name. The story is whatever so far but the pacing has been relentless which is nice for my ADHD, and also the combat is sublime. So far I really like playing as Lancelot and Zeta, as well as Djeeta and Narmaya. The boss battles are very *Dragalia Lost*, or like *Final Fantasy XIV* but skipping all the boring stuff and getting straight to the raids. Very curious to see how endgame is and I'll probably make some friends get into it with me lol. Lastly, I actually picked up [[TEKKEN 8 (2024)|TEKKEEEEEEEEN 8]]! It's my first time trying to play Tekken seriously and it's going about as well as you'd expect - namely, I'm getting my ass beat. I'm maining Azucena at the moment and will probably stick with her because she feels good to pilot, but I'm gonna need a lot of time to get used to the game's systems and pacing. I'll stop holding down-back eventually. So yeah! Lots of goodass games to play right now. I'm eating good and happy for it. ## Velvet Album It's Infinite Wealth. Of course it's Infinite Wealth. Like are you even the slightest bit surprised? ![[BARRACUDA.mp4]] ## Status Update Doin' alright! Just chugging along. Cleaning my office and bedroom after I post this, which I think will help with my mood overall, thankfully. Hope y'all are doing well. ## Signing Off That's all for now!
