The Hoard

I built Blue Frame over the course of four shifts and in the end I'm left ... a little conflicted? The kit itself was fine (a little frustrating at a few points where parts just did not want to pop into place also undergates were created by hell itself), but I was fighting uphill all the way against the actual character/setting material that came with it and it definitely coloured the experience, I'm not gonna lie.

(fuck me but has the Astray stuff gone downhill, which I've known for years and yet it continues to shock me when it achieves a whole new hole to fall down. *sighs*)

When I have the money, next stop is Deathscythe Hell provided he stays in stock long enough. I don't expect anything terribly hair-pulling to get uncovered there -- after all, I'm the one who absolutely loves Father Maxwell in Frozen Teardrop, something which seems to make me a heretical pariah or some crazy thing *snoooort*


Meanwhile absolutely over there from Gundam anything is my continuing-to-grow hoard of Marth and Archanea stuff in general, because I'm apparently just going waaaaay back for Fire Emblem for real and I ain't even sorry. Highlights right this second is hunting up a pdf scan of a truly lolwhat redesign of a bunch of the Dark Dragon And The Sword Of Light cast (but not everyone) in a "fan" book published by Dengeki (possibly released in tandem with a stageplay?), and I have a copy of Fire Emblem the Complete headed my way with old art and bios and weapon information. And spellcasting area charts! And kingdom crests! It's published by the same bunch that did the (much much bigger lol) Romancing SaGa Encyclopedia, and has stuff for Valentia as well as Archanea.


Unrelated to any of the above yesterday I had arrive a plush Pac-Man not much smaller than my torso and I am immensely pleased with this ~

Today, despite being beaten to death by hammersflattened by getting the booster plague stab yesterday, I fired up a shiny new Miyoo Mini Plus that arrived and put OnionOS on it and added all my most important ROMS, etc etc.

Yay!

Maybe now I can finally play Sacred Echoes >.>;; Let's see what the save file does on this one.


Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge Of The Seven also arrived today!


This all together means, of course, that now I'm stuck in a decision paralysis loop and no games at all are being played right this second ...

While digging around in my room today looking for something else and putting off feeding myself, I uncovered a journal/diary/whatever book I bought a few years ago. It's almost an inch thick by my eyeballing (metric body here lol), and unused.

It's also a Pac-Man Anniversary book 83~

*snrrk*

Naturally, being from 2012-ish, the weekday notations are out of whack but the basic setup is page-per-day and the day numbers should still be fine.

I'm kind of considering using it for a "fill a page with random ideababble" journal. Word lists, fic ideas, origfic ideas, character notations, drabbles, descriptions, game ideas, whatever. Just writing stuff down if I have it. And not to the exclusion of my other notebooks/ancient PDA/potential projects -- I expect there would be some repeating and overlap, and that's fine, some things are for keeping tabs of project gribblies when my brain overflows and this is just for fun and extras, basically.

Also, I'd need to remind myself not to beat myself up if I miss a day or two. Shit happens. Sometimes a day doesn't produce much by way of ideas; sometimes there's no chance to write things down. And that's also fine.

But a journal just for random stuff that I could potentially go back and draw from later could be a nice, low-impact kind of thing to do next year to try to get myself back on track ...
