Yknow I feel like just letting the characters say fuck did a lot for FFXVI. Like, stuff starts going bad and they start goin' "Aw fuck fuck fuck" just like me!

I think my fave line so far is still probably a party member yelling "This is stupid! I LIKE WOLVES!!" while fighting them early in.

Sometimes u gotta write some things to feel at least a bit better, even tho i dont use this platform as much as before anymore maybe ill find someone who would read this and maybe tell me if they feel the same.

For a long time now ive been feeling abandon by everyone I ones thought of my friends. I have one or two that i could call a friend but still feel lonely. The people who loves me are far away or feels like it. Every time i see these people ive been abandon by on social media I cry and ask myself why do i still follow this person/s. I seriously am in a dilemma about what to do at this point. Cuz I always get lied to think that they dont do this on purpose but they do cuz otherwise they would have noticed or felt like somethings off i dont know... I know some of this people im talking about follows me here so this is awkward but whatever. I just hope i can have a fresh start from bullshit and dramas next year and hopefully ill erase this people from my existence.

I dont know if anyone's gonna read this but if u did sry if im not making sense. I just feel so lonely and hurt that im just writing the things that pops in my head. Right now im at work and even the people here are treating me coldly. Fuck man this sucks. And school isnt even going good for me either now that i let some old enemies come back in to my life. Luckily i end school in june and hopefully ill run away from all the bad stuff. Like start again on something new with new people. A new job even.

I do feel a little bit better now so ill go back to work.

The sun set and parks will be closing but there's always tomorrow for getting lost in the woods. I'm gonna walk to the corner store. Get snacks. Prolly smoke even tho I was gonna try and avoid stuff that makes me dissociative today.

In fact, smoke -> corner store. fuck yeah. if dr puppy fits in the backpack (I hadn't checked and somehow this didn't occur to me) he's gonna ride along. who the fuck's gonna stop me, the stuffie sarge and his plushie police? fuck cops.

OH YEAH ALSO FFXVI ACTUALLY PRONOUNCES IFRIT'S NAME RIGHT!

(They traditionally like to pronounce it like "If-writ" - pronunciation should be more like "If-reet")

A beautiful thing, I support this

have I……have I become your friendly neighborhood Sami shitposter?

This is minor, but in 999 why the fuck do the characters vote by choosing a door, and not "what are our options for combos?" and work from there?

Like there's at least a couple times where the group individually blind vote what doors they want even tho there are only specific combos of people that will even work! The game even has a calculator with a dedicated digital root button, but you can't access it during decisions (and I barely needed it elsewhere).

I still think the game is good! this just kinda felt like a weird choice with how much focus is put on them. I also feel like they seem to figure out the digital roots and combos really quickly in their heads a lot of the time, but that's probably just me showing my mental math isn't great.

We make plans for big times Get bogged down, distracted We make plans for good times Only young on surface So kiss me before It all gets complicated I've got a taste for blood

(Full lyrics after break. Sami is indeed listening to Bloc Party a bunch again. I wish I liked their newer stuff, but damn if Silent Alarm and esp A Weekend In The City aren't two of my fave albums)

Wake up, dreamer It's happening without you Cut your hair and shave your beard You squandered your chances I'll give you a thousand pounds To show me how you do it Stop being so laissez-faire We're all scared of the future

Been training vipers to come for you In your dreams to release you Been training vipers to come for you In your sleep And the ravens are leaving the tower And the ravens are leaving the tower And the ravens are leaving the tower Make your peace

I've got a taste for blood Leave the weak, leave the young I've got a taste for blood I'm walking out without you You will kill, or be killed It's about progress I've got a taste for blood

Wake up, sleepyhead It's happening without you Such a nice guy You tell me everything twice Whip cracks, we jump We will run backwards Stop being so laissez-faire We're all scared of the future

We make plans for big times Get bogged down, distracted We make plans for good times Only young on surface So kiss me before It all gets complicated I've got a taste for blood

what do u think the over/under is for the shit i just spiral-ramble-posted @ my therapist being an issue somehow?

I vote low cuz it was specifically in the context of "I downplay things so much that the moment I stop feeling it, my brain is already trying to clean up how I describe/remember it bc it knows I can't just ACTUALLY say the thing or ppl will like me even less."

But it was also me describing ideation, while removing the "oh it was just like, take extra kpin/do dxm/get fucked up" half-truth filter I had said b4. I somehow only realized a couple months ago that I had been masking so much that it was basically making therapy a social interaction? been trying to do that less and doing rough rn so.

Watching a new gauge in an RPG show up and fill to full at the like, 3rd phase of a boss fight? Rad as hell.

Also, super meters that actually power u up are so much better than "big cutscene button". I kinda can't wait for (and am kinda terrified of) seeing what this feels like lategame.

Game makers: make your characters faster, and game harder. It kinda just works and feels fuckin great when you get it right.

i think rascal is a fun word. good thing to call a dog. idk if we mean for an internal dog or an external dog, but i can imagine having a dog and calling them a rowdy rascal until either those words lose all meaning to me or it fully replaces their name in my head

rowdy: also good.

from A Weekend in the City (2007)

Lyrics & such below but this album has some amazing tracks and I highly recommend it as a whole. I listed some additional standout track/lines below

I'm sitting on the roof of my house With a shotgun And a six pack of beers Six pack of beers, six pack of beers The newscaster says "the enemy's among us" As bombs explode on the 30 bus Kill your middle class indecision Now is not the time for liberal thought So I go hunting for witches I go hunting for witches Heads are going to roll I go hunting for 90's, optimistic as a teen Now it's terror Airplanes crash into towers Into towers, into towers The Daily Mail says "the enemy's among us Taking our women and taking our jobs" All reasonable thought is being drowned out By the non-stop baying, baying, baying for blood I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires I watched TV, it informed me I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire There must be accountability Disparate and misinformed Fear will keep us all in place

It's not subtle, but it's not trying to be. I like the framing in the end of "I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires - I watched TV, it informed me I was an ordinary man with ordinary desire. There must be accountability".

Others from the album I think about a lot:

"Sunday" is maybe my favorite love song

When I'm with you I am calm A pearl in your oyster Head on my chest, a silent smile A private kind of happiness You see giant proclamations are all very well But our love is louder than words

"Where Is Home?" is crushing. One of Kele's close family friends was the victim of a racially-motivated murder in London.

So I just sigh, and I just sulk And I pretend that there's nothing wrong The teeth of this world tear me in half And everyday I must ask myself where?

"SRXT" is an amazing end to the album - a note about ending, and an implied beginning

Like a castaway on a warm ocean Waiting for a purpose to rise They say it's not becoming For a boy my age If you want to know what makes me sad Well it's hope, the endurance of faith A battle that lasts a lifetime A fight that never ends

from Silent Alarm (2005)

This one and the next I'm sharing are both so extremely of their time. Bloc Party is British, but both this and the next have a pretty American tone to them.

I've been driving a mid-sized car I never hurt anyone Is that a fact? Is that a fact? Is that a fact? Is that a fact? The price of gas keeps on rising Nothing comes for free Make like a stone, make like a plant Make like a stone, make like a plant I can tell you how this ends We're gonna win this We're gonna win this (War! War! War! War!) We're gonna win this (War! War! War! War!) With spades and truncheons, guns and trowels That is how the war will be won Just swat the fly, just swat the fly Just swat the fly, just swat the fly Taking care of cars and bodies Nothing ever comes for free The ghosts are here, the ghosts are here Red white and blue, red white and blue I can tell you how this ends

IDK I really like how bluntly abt shit it is, the call and response style of criticizing the blase, accepted-as-necessary attitudes adopted toward most conflicts around natural resources (esp something as core to modern function as oil has come to be).

We all just want to be people, and none of us know what that really means.
