Aboveup

Alright, we're in.

It's completely fucked up.

No one should have this much wealth. There's genuinely no justification or reason for it not to be divided.

I both saved and quicksaved when Berserker shows up last night. Now loading both those saves hardcrash the game.

Managed to get myself unstuck by using the Flowchart feature but did check to replicate it and... Yeah. Loading a save when Berserker pops up makes loading the save crash the game.

You know. To put things into realistic perspective.

It's gross.

Oh yeah, I still need to watch the last movie. First two are really fun.

Still processing the cultural difference of like... Near everywhere I went in Japan, I talked to people. And most of the time they were trying to set up future meetings until they realized I was a tourist.

Some, I'll meet again next year.

If I lived there, I could easily build a friend circle.

Oh, here we go. One of the Japanese Yukkuri Jikyou channels I like did a 15 minute video where they complete Hydlide.

Much more interesting subject matter in a way more reasonable time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkYx...

One hour is okay for special occasional, or if there's some really big major point to be made.

But so many of these videos just come across as a lack of self-constraint.

Alright, time for Unlimited Blade Works.

No but seriously. I don't face High Masters on Juri, and I'm Master with her.

Still can't believe I've been front row to a wrestling show in Korakuen Hall

I think ranked might be fucked.
Why am I being matched against High Master players..?

At the very least, the hardcover rereleases from a while back are nice. Not all redesigns have to be terrible.

Like, I don't think you have the humanity left in you to engage with any artform even in a financial field if you go full-on Night Watch erasure.

Never forget the pure horror of what was done to Pratchett's works.

Went to the Halloween event in Ikebukuro

Let's see about finishing up this course by the end of the year.

I know most of the vocab and characters already so it's not too much of a mental load. The writing practice is nice though.

I only have like, 4 channels I watch and it's still way too much.

Was thinking of catching up on missed YT videos I wanted to see, but everyone's videos are a minimum of 1 hour in length. Even as background noise, keeping up with this is a full-time job.

It finally feels like I'm fighting the opponent instead of the controls.

After I push Cammy and Mai to Master, I want to go back and see if I can push Juri to higher Master ranks.

Went to Diamond 5 with Cammy in one go.
The RAM upgrade heavily stabilized performance, and inputs are a lot consistent as a result.

This rank feels too easy now.

Oh yeah, no. No surprises to this. Dutch people are incapable of being happy for others and always have been.

I made sure to keep good contacts in Japan.

Being back in the Netherlands for a bit, I hink I can safely say that Kabukicho is cleaner and safer than most of The Hague.

I am now realizing I got Juri to Master rank with much worse input buffer consistency than most players deal with.

I only upgraded the RAM from 16GB to 32GB, but that alone got me from lowest to max settings.

Wild. Still upgrading GPU next month though.

I saw a good bug in Japan.

One of my favorite exchanges in Japan was watching someone play SF6 Arcade online and noticing that people are way stronger than their respective rank counterparts on console.

Asked the guy playing about it, "It's because it costs money whenever you lose."

Hardcore.

I kinda didn't really see the need to buy anime figures and the like. Ordering them online might be more expensive but the logistics of luggage space and weight makes them a terrible souvenir compared to bringing a few Japanese books.

Biggest catches are the Minstrel Song and SotN OSTs, actual new Dirty Pair goods, and a signed poster of Nakajima Shoko. (I got to talk to her at the meet after, she's super sweet in person)
