ah yes, my three favourite Catholic Saints:
Saint Michael, Santa Muerte, and Nozomi Toujou.
i don't have room to display nozomi with my other figures so she gets to be in the spiritual corner of my nightstand. i think she's pretty happy lol :)

AAAND... Finally.
I did preorder it but I wanted the Japanese version so. It took a while.
Tales of Symphonia always tends to come into my life during... transitional times, I guess you could say.
My first year of college, beginning to find myself for the first time and adjusting to the new weight of my own decisions. Love and loss.
My first year in Japan, adjusting to and accepting culture shock. Finding myself again.
And now... Tales of Symphonia I need you.

personal gacha rant
just to get it out of the way; i've spent money on gacha games, and i know it's cringe and i feel shame about it.
currently i'm only playing fgo (global and jp) and arknights. and i've spent a generous amount of money on these games. which i do regret. for me it's mostly about trying to get the one character i really want. i do have my limits but i've also spent 300€ in one sitting.
i've played japanese mobile games for at least 10 years. it was a big hobby for me for many years. i don't remember exactly how many games i've played but to list a few; gbf, bandori, sb69, i-chu, t7s, idola, enstars, llsif. i also played browser games such as touken ranbu, shinken and kancolle.
i have other hobbies, but mobile games occupy a space that's hard to fill with something else when it's easily accessible and requires so little from the player. i think one of the reasons i got into mobile games when i was younger, was their accessibility. as someone who didn't own a gaming console or a personal computer and tried to stay away from home as much as possible at the time, mobile games were the go-to for me. of course there were some social influences through my friends playing, but for most of the time, i just seeked out games by myself to see what's interesting, but i played many games alone and without sharing it with anyone.
and honestly, it sucks and i feel guilty about it.
what kind of influenced my decisions was that, i like playing and getting a character i want will make me happier while playing. most of the time it's about acquiring a specific character but sometimes not even that.
for my global fgo account; i don't have any servants to meaningfully level up anymore. genuinely. like i have a few characters half way ascended and ann+mary left lvl 1 for meme gameplay usage but i don't have anyone to spend resources on, which can lead me to rolling the gacha even though i'm not that hyped for the character themselves. this happened for example on yang guifei's release where i got a dupe from the guaranteed summoning and i just wanted a new character to spend resources on.
i don't have any future plans to spend money on fgo, many of the popular characters releasing on global this year i already have on my jp account which definetly alleviates the fear of missing out. starting my jp account in general kind of helped me change my focus on servant gathering from the global server.
i'm trying to stay aware of my own time consumption and such, and i think my acknowledgement of mobile games and my relationship to them has improved. and the posts circulating the topic are good, but they kind of reflect my own shame. which is why i wanted to talk about it even for a moment.
i'm lucky to not have used up anymore money than i already have and to not have developed a more of a problem than it is. because it is a problem.
i genuinely like the games i'm currently playing, gameplay, characters and story and to keep on healthily playing in the future, i'll be trying my best to stay aware on the issues that gacha games present.

KLab shutting down SIF be like:
Meme credit: u/voyagerfan5761 on Reddit
For context, apparently Euro users can’t play LLSIF or LLSIFAS. And apparently even if you’re not a Euro user, if you use a VPN or have a Euro-based IP the game blocks data transfer. Some weird contract shit I don’t get but massive yikes from this American.
