You listen to what everyone has to say even if you feel awful but when you're down everyone's busy or they just brush you off
Gonna find myself apologising just for existing soon enough
The feel when work is going so well that you begin to expect one extremely massive fuck up around the corner
The best thing about WFH is you can take a massive dump on company time in the comfort of your own home
Think I'm coming down with something and that's exactly what I need at this moment in time, thanks world
Perpetually exhausted both physically and mentally, but still trying to do better
And speaking of shoutouts, good lord that soundtrack. Absolutely top class compilation of battle themes, arguably one of Meguro's best across such a long and fruitful career. While I wish the series was stronger overall, I'm still glad I checked it out, so that's a win.
I think I'd chalk it up to the story feeling much more rounded with memorable moments in the end. Big shoutouts to my lad Gale, who shined so much he wound up being an easy favourite across both games.
Got my ass in gear and finished up Digital Devil Saga 2. Somehow it's a more enjoyable experience than 1 in spite of it fixing...almost none of 1's flaws.
Also fuck Trump and ICE and Netanyahu and Israel and right wing cunts and also scratch your necks for Charlie Kirkie boi
Still plan on jumping into 2 to see where it all goes, but I sure hope there's big improvements on almost all fronts. And if there isn't, at least I know there's a banger soundtrack to look forward to.
The skill progression system is interesting at first, but wears thin as you progress. Even worse is you're almost required to use up valuable skill slots to help said progression in the first place, making regular battles towards the end exhausting and almost not worth fighting at all.
Finished Digital Devil Saga 1. Great atmosphere and art direction that really nails the atmosphere, yet let down by pretty much everything else. Dungeons are boring at best and beyond tedious at worst, the encounter rate can be awful at times, and the ending almost made me laugh at how abrupt it is.
Tryna get my hands on the Charlie Kirk remix of It Was A Good Day
I need it to be Sunday yesterday or the anticipation is gonna drive me crazy
The Pokebug struck so I ended up playing through Platinum for the first time. I'd always heard mostly negative stuff about Gen IV, but Sinnoh was fun to journey through and there were some moments with genuinely great presentation, not to mention the catchy soundtrack. A truly pleasant surprise!
The god is here
Maybe the biggest disappointment was the arranged soundtrack itself; almost every track lacks the oomf of the original compositions, which was a big letdown after how high of a bar 1-3 set.
Ended up jumping right into FF4 after FF3. A surprisingly brisk experience vs how I remembered it, and still full of childhood nostalgia. That said, it's a very uneven experience overall, and spending a huge chunk of the game with a genuinely horrid party really detracts from the experience overall.
And once again I feel compelled to give a shoutout to the soundtrack because these Pixel Master arranges might just be some of the best arrange work we've ever had the pleasure of being blessed with.
Finished FF3 Pixel Remaster. The original NES experience was enjoyable albeit brutal, so it only makes sense that the same would apply here given all the QOL improvements. It's a shame they couldn't rebalance all the jobs to allow for a bit more diversity, but I had a good time regardless.
Every day I feel like I'm not good enough
I fucking love The IDOLM@STER
Filled with unbelievable levels of hope thinking about getting to see both old nakama and my spiritual 765Pro family over the weekend
If this weekend doesn't fix me I dunno what will
It's hard knowing you're unimportant af, but at least you know
Hit the gym for the first time in years this morning and my legs feeling like jelly after squats is stirring the primal fitgod urge within
Showing Japanese friends who grew up hearing heartsdales and soul'd out the Haruhi Skittles AMV and watching their minds explode in real time
Have spent half the day on the can, how's life for everyone else
Wish I stopped feeling like everything I do is creepy!!!!!!!!!
