おはよう　みなさん！ welcom back to the blog ppls

i figured i should do a life update once more since its been a good while.

firstly,

i think i wanna try speaking more japanese, im learning it with my school rn and ik that i understand and can speak quite a bit. its just i forget vocab so easily :,) maybe ill start tryna speak/test more in my blog posts :>

game segment *woosh woosh super cool transition*

i bought the $30 season pass for strinova hehe. i went level like 85-87 and then bought it and gave me and extra 25 to complete the battle pass :> idk if im gonna go ahead and do that again, it all depnds what in the pass and if i feel that ill be able to finish it :,)

i also pulled THE HERTA in hsr :> (my last post) but i speant all my stellar jades on her which is soooo sad. i was planning to get jade for her if i got herta early... but i didnt :( i think ill try to farm for jades and to see if i can pull jade :> i reeeeeeally wanna build a herta team hehe. i also still havent built sunday yet... or rappa for that matter. i think one day ill have to sit down and js do allll my grinding lol

also, i havent acc rll touched zzz since i completed the event but ive been feeling and itch to log again so maybe ill do that. im saving to get the vtuber girls and they supposedly are supposed to come out in march SO I REEEEALLY gotta be saving HARD.

also miku in fortnite. i legit downloaded fortnite JUST for miku and am acc lowk thinking abt buying her skin lol. only problem is that both of skins is like 4.6K vbucks and if I were to buy it id need to spend 50$ and i cant rlly afford to do that rn :(

ive also gotten like 10-ish hours into persona 5 :> the point to when your exploring the second castle. :D im reeeeally enjoying the game so far AND I CANT WAIT FOR FUTABA.

game segament done *super cool silly woop woop transition*

this next two weeks i have aaaaall my finals so iv been studying super hard. this friday i have my grade 12 math final exam and omggg im have been studying HARRD. I AM LOCKED IN FRFR. i rlly hope i do well so i atleast wont have to redo the exam when i do the course again :>

also eggrolls (the g u y, refer to past posts lol), COMPLETELY turned away from me when i went to see a friends that has lunch on the same floor w/ him. theres a whole group of ppl there and he eat w/ those ppl since his gf is there. And, my friend wasn't there so i was tryna ask someone ik we she was, and i looked to eggrolls for a minute (HE COMPLETLY avoided me btw) and HIS GF answered saying my friend isnt eating there anymore (or today idk what she said). but either way i found it kinda funny. idk if i mentioned this but i ended up never following him back on his public account, i js thought he didnt deserve it :) also there was a day we were doing some activity in class and he tried asking me for answers, i js pretended i didnt hear him and didnt move (there was also a group around his desk/behind me so it was plausable i didnt hear him) and i feel kinda proud of myself for not budging.

also there was a day during winter break i saw people from my old school when i was out with wifey 2. they were two guys who bullied me and were just assholes to me back in 8th grade. they just made fun of me for watching stuf like gacha and anime (listen i was in a phase back then) and also for wanting to dress more alternativly. acc, everyone in my class would say i was weird cause i wanted to dress differently and less basic (if i may say). that day i was wearing like a SCRUMPTIOUS fit. and after we saw them, i felt so proud of myself for being able to prove them wrong. like it felt so satisfying showing the ppl who put me down for being myself and prove that i executed it SO WELL.

anyways, i believe thats it for now :) i think another life update will have to come after exam unfortuanelty :(\

side note... if anyone actually sees this and reads this its kinda just a public journal :3 i feel i should be documenting more things that happen to me so this is my way of doing so. either way id still appreciate some interaction... i like seein ppl listen to what i havce to say :3

here is a yummy song for chu since you read allllll that :3

wuthering waves blah blah 2

super quick post but I've been thinking lately - miscellaneous things // wall of text incoming...

Partially recording my thoughts here for the next player survey

I liked the story for 4.2; not as impressed as all the talk around it had me hoping but the writing has definiteily improved generally.

Everyone still talks a lot but it holds my attention a little better than g*nshin still... .somehow? i'm not sure why

Rinacita is really beautiful and fun to explore. Could use fewer enemies in the overworld though because I feel like I'm triggering combat every 3 seconds

Flying is awesome.

I like the fairy tale theme of Rinacita a lot! and the strong colors (deviation from the 1.0 stuff that was really muted and really didn't have strong color really anywhere.)

The overflowing palette puzzles are my favorite and I like going around the continent to look for those specifically. I still haven't bothered to figure out the block smashing mechanic but that's ok.

At first I did not like the anniversary event. But then it really grew on me. Real turn your brain off combat and numbers go boom. It's fun to make your little neopet cube buddies stronger and equip them with absurd modules. And I like that the plot was stupid and really trying to keep it light.

MOST OF ALL - all the events felt super achievable. I didn't play a lot due to a hand injury and only started playing in the last third of the event, but I still was abel to get pretty much all the major event rewards quite comfortably without really breaking a sweat. WuWa respecting my time again W.

More below the cut (cutting at an arbitrary place)

I was able to snag carlotta from the anniversary selection banner - super happy about that.

I think the discount for the character skins is dumb because it's not enough for me to buy a full skin which means I'd have to purchase currency in order to take advanrage of it... so.... pass......

I was weirdly invested in getting the oven creature a job at the bank mini event. I was actually lowkey sad when it didn't get the gig. I think the devs should have let the oven cat achieve its dreams.

The character design felt really strong to me up until Zani. I am... starting to side eye all the character releases after that.

Ciciaonna isn't terrible ... she's fine but I don't really like her outfit

Cartwheel's outfit however... disaster. I actually hate it. girl is wearing rags. She's great from the neck up... but everything else...

and not just because it's gooner bait it's just bad.

It's ok we can all be gooners but it's annoying when having as many cut outs as possible and weird skin windows is the main idea of so many of the upcoming designs. I feel like we're limiting ourselves from trying new things...

Also I feel that the designs are starting to drift to what I call "generic fantasy gacha" territory - too many floaty straps. Too many metal bits. Too many weird banners. Not enough big shapes or grounded ideas that give the characters world identity. When I can stop telling if a character is from genshib or hsr or wuwa or pgr i think that's an issue

It bothers me a lot. Please bring back serviceable character design and flavor for locations. We are drifting.

On an equally important level - i think the main differentiator for wuwa for me is the refined mechanics and needing to really pay attention to the gameplay. I want to bring back simpler attack mechanics.

particularly for bosses... I don't like it when they just splash random attacks and I like it when it feels more like a duel. Sentry, crownless, tempest memphis and scar are good for me. Fleurdelys and lorelei too

Hecate and the dragon on the other hand.... cry

ok that's all for now haha
