#(and also gardening in video games)
Text
Apparently I can meet my goal of roughly 400,000 words in 6 months if I just somehow write at least 2,200 words a day ghbjh... Almost 2,500 today... huzzah...
#Definitely not going to be able to stick with it just due to like... being realistic about my energy levels and etc. ESPECIALLY as we#enter the Evil Summer and it becomes hot all the time. But... one can attempt.. at least...#I'm also a very slow writer since I tend to re-read and edit while I write. and only move onto the next section once what I'm writing#seems okay. Which is easy for visual novel type stuff. since ''sections'' of a conversation are more clearly marked (like if you#have a menu option with 5 different dialogue choices. finish the character's response for choice 1 before moving onto 2. etc.)#Especially since when I'm done with a whole quest I always follow it up by playing through it and picking every option and making sure it#actually all works okay and etc. So I am already going to see it all a second time. Then I can go back and reorder a few words or remove#certain sentences that don't sound natural when I read them out loud (I always read it all outloud to myself since it is... just peple#talking.. it should sound like natural dialogue in their voice. etc). But my ''first draft'' is kind of not as first drafty since I pause t#edit a lot as I go along. So it also takes longer probably than it would take other people who I think treat a first draft as more#of a loose guideline or something. AANYWAY...#80F in my bedroom right now again... huzzah... I did end up finishing and recording that sims build video before the heat wave (or is#it really a heat wave if it's just summer..?? lol) came in.. but now... augh.. the editing... plus the costume photos and all else... Much#to do as always.. Often such a long todo list.. a giant scroll hung upon the walls of the evil hermit wizard tower..#Anyhow.. I hope I can finish getting ready for bed early in time to reward myself with a game of tripeaks solitaire whilst I snack on#cheddar cheese and some of those preserved artichokes in a jar. hrgm... I actually have nasturtiums (ultimate best flower) on the#deck again this year but I had to move them all into a corner today because the leaves were getting burnt by the sun lol.. Also am now more#cautiously weaving through social media to ignore all dragon age news. NOT bc of spoilers (I actually love spoilers/literally never play#any game until there's full guides on it I can read to plan my entire playthrough based on knowing exactly what I want to happen lol + mods#and etc.) but just because I'm so busy with my ownprojects I simply do not have the brainspace to dedicate... Yes I love to think#about elves and fictional universe lore. but no.. I pretend I do not see it. Does not exist to me actually. ghgj.. OHH also took som#cool pictures of flowers in the garden section of a store and I wanted to do like.. character designs based on the colors of the flowers o#something. but that might just be another unnecessary project to add to the pile.. I want to commit to the daunting task of dyeing my#hair again some time.. hrm.. this is all of the updates I can think of. As if a bunch of random tags make up for never posting anything for#weeks on end lol.. alas.. too warm to think properly I suppose.. .. I neeeeeed a long lost relative to leave me some million dollar#estate in their will so I can have the resources to move to a colder climate or something ..augh#.. but for now.. I shall toil away in my little wizard tower trying to write 2000 something words a day whilst sweating and such ghbj

and that's why they're the sexiest dynamic in the entire novel. *fingerguns*
#lwj wishes he could get on xy's level#is it really devotion if you're not keeping the corpse of your loved one around for years#lbh would say no!#the funny thing here is that it's not even that i like. technically *disagree*#i think the foiling between those two relationships is definitely there#but the use of the word 'perversion' is def setting me off a little#and also. i am right about the sexiness factor#lise's aggressively bitchy opinions about irrelevant and unimportant matters#and i'm going to go eat brunch and play video games and maybe go to a garden#take a nap possibly#contemplate if i can get away with taking a mental health day tomorrow

hiiiii sobbing and crying qnd wailing everyolwuerw ive made this post on like three different platforms but i just finished garden story and i actually cant handle how fucking GOOD that game is, its actually my new favorite of all time. anyone that likes indie pixel/rpg/cozy indie games (UTDR FANS IM LOOKING AT YOU) NEEDS to play it. adorable graphics, stellar soundtrack, and heartwarming story. you will not regret it.
#garden story#rose city games#indie rpg#rpg#indie games#pixel game#video games#dolotalks#more like wails#utdr#would also reccommend oneshot if you havent played that!#another very good rpg similar to utdr#but harden story though.....#actually mind bogglingly good#like sure it wasnt perfect and theres more they could have done#but like its just... so fantastic as it is#and all the amazing parts of it outshine the lacky ones

Just so we clear: if you get mad at MCU for constantly tying everything together and not letting anything be it's own thing anymore but celebrate James Gunn wanting to do the same with DC, your a hypocrite.
#like this will somehow be worser then the mcu#cause mcu has yet to go 'play a whatever hours game to understand the next film' like james hinted at with#same actor in video games#also what happened to just letting VAs do their thing when it comes to animated#whys it gotta be the live action actors#plus dc is the most known for varying takes on their characters and doing different movies and such outside of live action#so to potentially take that away...is just such bullshit#also good luck if the casting is shit but we stuck with that shit in all mediums#i do not like damian wayne or guy gardener but i'll be with the fans in the riots as guys casting is already bad#let alone knowing hollywood and dc damian will be whitewashed

I have been watching Trash replay Sonic Adventure 2 Battle and I forgot that Sonic interrupts a call with the US President in which Eggman is threatening to blow up the earth like "hey! what's going on here? eggman?? LAME." Like Sonic this is a sensitive geopolitical matter can you fucking chill
#sonic adventure 2 goes so fucking hard it's like if the concept of camp itself became a video game#also the chao garden#always the chao garden

Weirdest feeling ever
#no i have stuff to do and i have to study but im kinda having an existential crisis so hm#im going to leave taiwan in about two weeks and im so conflicted on how i spent my time here#i have the feeling that i didnt see enough or did enough while i was here and met with friends#but at the same time i know that lots of time i genuinely didnt have the energy for it and its so hard being away from home#esp since i miss my bf and my family like crazy#at the same time i have family and friends in taiwan as well and i also want to spend time with them but the family is so draining#and its just slowly hitting me that many things i do here will be the last time i do#like being at that bus stop or walking down that street or seeing that building#like i know its coming to an end and i will and can probably never return to this specific point again#so im just. just trying to comprehend whats going on vs what i should have done#all the while wishing that i was back already so i can eat my mums food and see my dad in the garden#and my siblings playing video games together and my friends in our city#and i want to be held by my bf so much. these months have felt like an eternity#but i also dont want to leave taiwan bc it was a really nice time here that felt like being in a little bubble#when im back im going to have to work and focus on my bachelors and deal with family#like im really really torn about how i should feel and if there is a way that i can feel#so kinda wanna just bundle up and do nothing but i have my final on friday so i cant#rea rambles

Update on the Narret zone.
My job is asking for longer and longer hours. I usually work from 7-5, with a lunch that's 9.5 hrs each day. We have so many tickets to complete each day, I usually get about 15 done a day give or take. But we also get long projects tickets that take much longer but we're not given the extra time so they show up as "past due" in our bins. I have 5 project tickets for the same area, roughly 100 regular tickets worth of work, I am in contact with the contractor for these tickets but it's still going to take me time to get it done because I still have my regular 15 tickets a day to do too.
Boss is complaining that tickets are falling past due and is asking we work later to catch up or he will make weekends mandatory. My bin is caught up except those 5 projects. Other people are way behind but it might not matter because last week they moved me to help out those who were behind catch up.
Also I got an offer for a different job but it's government so it will take a hot minute to get a firm start date.
#this is why all creative things are slow#i have almost no free time#my weekends are house work because I'm a boring adult#and sometimes i get to garden#or i play video games with my husband who also works 10+hours a day

fictional or not, dragon lore is always so interesting.
#I'm watching a DS3 lore video on the nameless king bc i wanted to figure out wtf is the dragonslayer armor's deal#but the greater lore around the dragons is SO fucking good and now I'm thinking about dragons lol#i could watch these dark souls/elden ring lore videos by VaatiVidya all day tbh#i LOVE how deep he goes with it. these worlds and their lore already feel huge but#as someone who's only played the third dark souls it rly makes me appreciate how complex and interconnected it is as a series.#sometimes i wonder if the creators ever watch these vids and think “we didn't mean all that but that's a great idea”#or if they watch it and get super happy like YES that is exactly what our subtle storytelling meant.#either way i have So so much respect for ppl who go and put together these lore videos#going as far as to look at game dumps and early releases/cut content and ALL the dialogue and item descriptions#for any one topic the lore is so scattered about and piecing together any single thing seems like such a massive undertaking.#like lmaooo i can't even follow a single questline without pulling up the wiki#a recent rabbit hole i went down too is how there are different times/realities even just DS3 takes place in?#like how in Untended Graves you see a world without light where darkness rules - and in ringed city when ur fighting those#dragons in the base of that big tree that's supposed to be the original firelink shrine and then the shrine u use is maybe The Past?#the past relative to the other shrine from the world where the flame went out w darkness ruling.#idk how the transition works from being in that one dude's garden in ur world to just walking right into the other one but idc.#just say i got twilight zoned or somethn lol. always. very interesting stuff :^} I'm not smart enough to pick up on anything in the moment#but it's SO fun watching what other people pieced together whose whole thing is that they go thru these games thoroughly.#and in a way it makes me not want to stop playing DS/ER bc there's just so much going on here that's so rewarding??#like. on TOP of the suuper deep lore the gameplay is also just super fun and u get HELLA weapons and special moves#and the modding scene has made some hella streamline tools that are so good these have been the first games I've ever MADE mods for!#like i can't think of any other games that are like this where I'm really encouraged it make it my own with such a helpful and#engaging community. I'm sure there r other games out there that are similarly engaging with deep lore and streamlined modtools#and mod communities but (〒﹏〒) 1. where?? 2. DS/ER are very beloved to me.#it's funny how little u have to know or do to beat their respective storylines. I've played them both a ton and still know so little.#and when i walk away from these lore vids I'm always like Woah 😵💫 yk? anyways.. that's my lil rant :3 back to work now

#i have been discussing sharing an appartment with a friend#as roommates I mean#maybe i'll buy some if we actually do it#because I know for sure that she's not gonna take plants of her own lol#maybe i'll even try to get all the main cast's flowers i can handle in a small appartment#watch me transform the living room into a garden like pspspsps basils i have plants pspspsps#sunny#fairyl0ck#also i have been playing celeste recently. i am very bad at video games. wish me luck

what's the weirdest most niche thing you're into rn? >:)
OOOOOG. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION HMMMMMM.
i wouldn't say they're suuuuper niche nor weird but rn one of our sysmates is hyperfocused on Chao and how they like. Function canonically + from a game standpoint if tht makes sense!! Chao Lore Is Very Fun And Cool Also they're just cute lil guys. we lov them they're just sentient lil jelly kids!!
youtube
^ the video tht started the hyperfixation btw. v v good video also Cybershell's other vids r good too!!
#ask#marvin (sysmate w the hyperfixation) isn't up front atm but when she Does fromt again I'll ask her 2 post her chao hcs#bc she has a Lot#also she wants 2 make a chao sona oc & she has enough ideas fr one in the collective memory tht i can doodle them 4 her#I'll try 2 do that asap#them being jelly is somewhat canon according to the timy chao garden in the sonic gba games i think#ok well not Actually jelly. but they feel like jelly. or pudding/similar to such according to an oldddd post on an official sonic site#but i think all that's talked abt in this video HdhfjHFHFJF

There's an art class every week with life models in my town. I wonder if I should join. I'm already in an amateur theatre troupe and I don't want to have too many activities outside work but on another hand it would probably help me a lot to improve my art
#Mel rambles#I don't knooow#will I have the motivation to cook if I have two 2hours long activities after work two days in a row every week?#will I have the time to do sport? i haven't been doing much sport lately...#why is having a healthy adult life so difficult#i also want to keep going out with colleagues after work from time to time because socialisation is important#and play video games with my friends once a week because else we don't talk and risk losing touch#but also I need to draw and I need to clean my house and take care of my vegetable garden and sleep and do crafts and and and#fuck 40h a week. idc if it's not much for my line of work. i want 32 hours a week so i'll have time for stuff T^T
