Iโve been liking writing little blurbs here a lot.. Currently not sure about what I want in here, but it may just be whatever comes to mind, more of a free form space than anything. I like the sound of that :)
Went cart racing with some buddies! Huge boost to the ego when I got first one time :). I did a fair amount a few years back so it was very cool to see some of that still retained!
Tried Pho with tripe for the first time. Donโt think itโs something I particularly like but Iโm glad to say I at least tried some. It may be bias, but I think pho with beef meatballs is the best, specifically with meatballs from by buddies parents store.
Finished my reread of Royal Assassin by Robin Hobb. I will say I am a bit weaker on the series compared to my first read of it. There is a lot of sections that would be really neat, but it feels as if the author doesnโt trust the reader to remember the specifics of past scenes without reexplaining them. Overall still a very engaging story despite my small writing quips.
Ghost of Tsumisha main story done as well! Loved the ending and the decisions Jin made. As always the game does wonders encorporating haikus into major story beats with this one standing out in that Lord Shimura writes one at the same time. Iki Islandโs story did carry more weight for me emotionally but I can appreciate what the main games ending went for. Very great experience and definately my favourite open world game.
Started replaying God Handโฆ My god this game is hilarious. The combat is just as hard as I remembered, the bits even better than last time. Iโve been doing some research into the games production and Shinji Mikami might be at his most batshit crazy here. He basically decided to make the game because he hated Final Fightโs first 3d game so much that he had to make something better. Mikami was aware that this game would sell poorly but he figured it shouldnโt matter since his track record at Capcom has been so good. Very funny guy as per usual.
โIโm glad to be me - an incredibly sensitive instrument.โ
- Disco Elysium
This quote has meant a lot to me since my first playthrough of Disco Elysium. Iโve always considered myself to be someone incredibly sensitive. While it comes as an affect of anxiety, it had been a facet of myself I refused to accept. Why should I be so affected by the things around me? Why do I have to care so much? To be ashamed of my feelings was so easy as opposed to facing them head on. I am thankful to be able to feel so much.
