Yes, I still watch anime. Just not as much as I used to, and not the same kind of stuff that I used to. Here’s a quick run-down (alphabetically, for lack of a better sorting order) of what I think I’ll be sticking with through the rest of the season:
I could have played a current game, a new game, or not played a game at all.
But, no. I installed Might & Magic VI, a musty old RPG-type game from the late 1990s. I downloaded the strategy guides and maps from the site I used to rely on way back when (I’m glad it still exists!). And I plowed through the “loot the game developer’s offices” map trick to get a bit of a monetary and gear head-start on things.
Is it every bit as janky as I remember? Oh yes. Is it a game from the days before everyone realized that WASD makes a better keyboard movement setup than the arrow keys? Sadly, yes.
Did I have fun mowing down lizard men and Followers of Baa once my party all had bows equipped? Definitely yes.
I’ve no idea if I’ll keep at this for very long, but hey, it made my evening pass rather pleasantly, all things considered.
I spent most of the past year playing one of two games. Clearly, if you’ve been here before, you know all about one of them. What about the other one?
Let’s get into that.
There’s a sizeable contingent of 3H players (myself included) who adore this guy, which may tell you everything you need to know about 3H fandom.(more…)
Among the mental, emotional struggles one faces while working from home during a pandemic, surely the greatest is the conflict between knowing you have limited (so, so limited) physical space for things and the desire to use retail therapy as a means of keeping your happiness levels somewhere above subterranean.
This message was prompted by the manga and the shiny math rocks order shipment email messages I received today.
Every year, Vyx does some kind of advent-calendar-y thing, because she’s creative and such that way. For Yuletime 2021, this took the form of a series of small envelopes with stickers inside.
Here’s all 24, in order top to bottom, left to right. (There was no 25th.)
I want to use all of them. I want to use none of them. This is the eternal struggle of someone who likes stickers.
At some point I’m going to need a sticker storage device, aren’t I?
