My friend O-Range helped work on this video, please go check it out!
I had no idea this video was even being made, but I saw it today on my youtube homepage and was pleasantly surprised to see his name in the credits lol. This is a video celebrating the 30th anniversary of the fighting game Sailor Moon S. O-Range has talked about the game with me for many years, and I even got to play a bit at his house back in the day. The game is very cool and this video is really sick, so if you like fighting games, sailor moon, or even just video games, check this video out!
Melee
I am writing this after an online session playing Super Smash Bros. Melee with some of my college friends. It is always nice to talk to them, but in addition, I also had a great time playing melee for the first time in a while. Moving around as Fox felt excellent and I was hitting basically everything I wanted to. Very sick session, and it had been so long since I had played fighting games of any kind, so this was nice.
Gaming
After finishing Psychonauts 2, I then went on to finish Cereza and the lost demon. That game was absolutely stunning from start to finish. I recommend that game to anyone, regardless of if you have played the bayonetta games. I then played through all of Antonblast, which was very enjoyable. I will probably go back to get some more of the items I missed, since the movement is just really nice. I am now starting Drakengard 3, which is really sick so far. I was worried, as I did NOT enjoy what I played of Drakengard 1, but 3 is a welcome familiarity to the Nier games I so cherish. The tone and writing feels so on par with what I expect from a yoko taro game, which is to say excellent and captivating.
Christmas
Due to anxiety and mental health general decline, I did not attend my family's Thanksgiving this year. I am feeling pretty apprehensive about it, but I think I am planning on trying to attend Christmas, against my better judgement. All I really need to do is get through the day. Wish me luck...
Blog
I am always less and less sure what to put in these, as I genuinely do so little that I struggle to fill an entire post here. Maybe I should just settle for making shorter entries, but then it feels like why go through the trouble to write them at all. Maybe I should start jotting my thoughts down throughout the day and compiling them for one large blog entry consolidating a few days woth of ideas. Or maybe I should try to like, include one song recommendation per post or something like that, but even then I think I'll run out quickly lol.
I think that's all I have for you for today.
