  1. Coming in here to say that I love y'all. As far as my 2024 goals: - Learn Blender. I bought two udemy courses to get started. Doing a little most days, and it's fun. I used Google SketchUp all the time a decade ago. Blender is much more complicated, but hopefully I'll figure it out. - Exercising on a regular basis. Going to the gym twice a week is the goal. - Learn to say "No." People all around me ask too much from me. - Travel again. I travelled a lot last year. I did my first week-long solo road trip and it was one of the coolest things I've done in a long time. As far as videogames, I'm trying to get caught up on Pokemon games. Started Part 2 of the DLC for Scarlet, then I need to go back to doing the DLC for Shield. I also still have barely played Legends Arceus. I'm also looking to jump on Persona 3 Reloaded. I was convinced it was coming to Switch until yesterday. I may instead get it for Steam so I can still play it handheld on the Steam Deck. I decided to pop in tonight after reading a thread elsewhere about people losing their online friends. I had friends from online during middle and high school, but it's been about a decade since I've heard anything from them. I have fond memories of messaging them most evenings on GaiaOnline, or voice-chatting through online battles on Pokemon D&P. I would check the Weather Channel on the Wii to compare the weather in our locations. I still have letters they sent me on my board at home. I know life will always take its course, but it's sad to see bonds fade away. I hope they're doing okay out there.
  2. Finished Sands of Destruction on the DS this evening. Back in 2010, I might have enjoyed this game. But rarely do I encounter a game that's so "meh." Weak characters, bad balancing, uninteresting puzzles, but none of it was terribly offensive. The amount of voice acting is impressive, even if the quality is potato. But for a DS JRPG, there's like 20 other JRPGs I could recommend before SoD on this system. I can't even find any discussion about this game anywhere online.
  3. I'm out for a business trip this week, staying at a hotel. Friend insisted I take their GBA SP along with Hamtaro HamHam Heartbreak. I've yet to play the game, but I did bring Sonic Advance and Mario Kart: Super Circuit. I never really cared for it before, but doing Time Trials in these games is pretty fun. Doing Time Trials is like one way I can give myself a casual Speedrun experience. Also, it's so weird being in hotels. You want to me leave my trash out in the hallway, like some animal? Strange, but okay. And it's kind of sad that most commercial hotels are better taken care of than apartments in my area that demand at least $2000 a month for a studio.
  4. I finally watched Gurren Laggann for the first time. I now understand where all y'all mecha-action and tiddy gifs for the past 15 years come from.
  5. Only about 1 more month left in the year, and there's still some things I want to finish before the end of the year. I'm about 2/3 of the way done with SMT5 so far, I think? Nearing the end of the third area. The story sucks this time around, but at least the gameplay is top-notch. Nearing the end of my annual FE Awakening playthrough. Part of the fun of playing this game every year is seeing how optimized my strategies have become. Also I discovered Maribelle has an insane magic proficiency as a mage/sage. I'm close to about 60% done reading the first book in The Lord of the Rings. I've never read or watched the movies before, despite the fact the movies were a huge deal when I was growing up. I'm looking forward to watching the movies afterwards.
  6. The mobile version of DQ4 includes Party Chat. Party Chat is a feature where you can press a button (usually B button) to have your party members exchange their thoughts. This dialogue changes very often with each event. This feature is absent in the DS version for the English release, and finding legitimate copies of the DQ DS games is difficult and expensive. Mobile versions are my recommendation in this day and age.
  7. As of this evening, Prince Snufflemuffins is no longer with us. In the past few months, his health was declining rapidly. We noticed he was losing weight, but still acting normal. We figured it was old age, but we took him to a vet anyway. They discovered he had pancreatitis, and that his diet needed to change. We got his food updated, and just two weeks later, on this day, we had to put him down. Mom called near the end of work to tell me to come over, that she has found him pressing himself up against the corner, and couldn't walk straight. Both of his eyes were dialated, and his normal purring was replaced with heavy breathing. We ran him to the vet immediately, where they diagnosed that it's neurological. With his condition, his quality of life had plummeted. I didn't want him to suffer, I didn't want him to be scared and alone. I didn't want him to suffer like my previous cat, who suffered far more than he ever deserved. But I didn't want to let him go. As painful as it was, through uncontrollable crying and heartache, I made the decision that he would be put to rest. Through the process, he was surrounded by me, my mother, and my girlfriend as we pet him, even after the doctor had confirmed his heart had stopped. I snuggled him before I could tear myself to leave the room. When petting his cold body, I could still hear his purring in my mind. Prince Snugglemuffins was brought into my life just two weeks into my first year in high school. My mom bought him off craigslist for $5, but we gave her $10, because as my mom mentioned to her, "he's just that gorgeous." He was scared of his new home. He would hide behind the guitar case and underneath my bed. It wouldn't be long for him to feel comfortable, to where he would follow me up stairs, lie on my desk, or sleep in bed with me. Anyone who came into contact with him was enamored with him. He was always happy to snuggle up to new friends, whether that was lying across your lap, or finding your leather jacket to be a cozy spot. As the years went on, I would eventually leave home for multiple reasons. Everytime I left for the school year, I would tell him good bye and hug him closely before leaving. When I graduated and returned home, I had to focus on getting my life going. I was caught up in learning to drive and starting my career all at once. It was stressful. But every night, this little guy would be there for me. He would lie in bed with me, and he liked it when I held his front paws. I'd often take pictures of him, a lot of my friends and people online really liked seeing him. Prince Snugglemuffins received so much love, but he had just as much love to return. Even when being examined at the vet, the nurses had difficulty hearing his heart because he was purring so much around them. It's been a few hours now, and I keep tearing up as I write this. My head hurts so much, and I don't know what to think at this stage. It hurts a lot, and I hope I did the right thing. I included some photos of him, including a picture of me:
  8. I'm Erdrick_Tantegel. I mainly retweet fanart, and post my thoughts about a game on the rare occasion. I also use it for finding Card Captor Sakura fanart that I share with my girlfriend.
  9. I started following Sarah on Twitter, but I don't think she knows. I haven't said anything to her about it, and at this stage of 8 hours, it's probably too late now and it would just be really awkward. She may never know, and that's just something I have to accept. I've come across @Tyranogres Twitter, and while I like some of the memes, most of that stuff ain't SFW.
  10. I picked up NH again the other night after 7 months. Even accounting for HHP and the updates, I don't know if it's enough for me. But I hope people looking forward to the new content will have fun. I'm currently doing my annual FE Awakening playthrough, and I think maybe by now I should play Three Houses. I just hate the monastery gameplay. Will I miss much if I skim most of that content? I did start Skyward Sword HD this evening, and it's good so far. I forgot how much I really enjoy the soundtrack.
