Now / What Am I Up To?

I'm not very good at remembering what I've done across a span of time, so I will try my best to offer little updates of what's been going on in my life (maybe I'll even aim for a weekly or biweekly updates). Maybe I'll have a little archive later on of what's happened for my own sake. Inspired off Bechno Kid's layout!

What's Been Going On?

  • Ughhh ughh ugh school assignment stuff UGH (I just have gotten rusty with doing assignments so it's always like something looming over my skull); we have been learning cool coding things though
  • Picked up journaling again, or I'm trying to anyway by keeping it simple and doing a single highlight a day at the bare basic, and writing more only if I need to. Honestly it's been nice, especially since I have a lot of stickers and enjoy decorating the pages, though I'm trying my best to not get overwhelmed
    • I found out all along I had a double sided tape roll from college that I completely forgot about ... I've been trying to use glue sticks 🗿
  • Picked up using Obsidian to try to keep notes of stuff I'm learning, especially for things like Unreal or Blender, or when I decide to learn Blockbench modelling. It's hard because I tend to watch/do rather than take notes of the process, which can bite me in the ass. Heavily inspired from JayTheDevGuy's video on it
  • Mostly just been focused on helping my friend with her author livelihood and book editing for her
  • Site wise, it's mostly just been back-end stuff cause right now that's more appealing to me than making new content. Creating my media log though has been really cool
  • I'm trying to carry my 3DS around more with me to have as something to do that's not on my phone

Games

  • Finished my coop Baldur's Gate 3 run and ... promptly uninstalled to free up space; I'll return at some point to do Gale's run and finish my final few achievements for 100%
  • Replaying Undertale (especially for my friend who never saw it played in full before) in prep for Deltarune
  • Got back into Bleach: The 3rd Phantom on my 3DS which has been eating into my life (good way)
  • Replayed Imperishable Night (Touhou) cause I grew up on playing this during high school lunches
  • Been slowly going through the FFXIV ARR story with my friend since we have set times for her to sit and play through while I'm there for moral support/body doubling
  • Found Elite Beat Agents again for my 3DS ... issue is it keeps crashing 🥲

Watching / Reading

  • Waiting for Apothecary Diaries S2 releases
  • Paused on Laziness Does Not Exist for now, though I'd still like to get back to it
  • Picked up reading The Hollow Places and I see why T. Kingfisher's writing is really appealing to me now (simplicity, humanness, it reads like how I think)
  • Finished Thousand Autumns / Quan Qiu fully (minus the short stories, no real plans to read them anytime soon)

What's Been Going On?

  • Approaching the fourth week of the semester, and we finally settled on a group game we're doing for a charity that's teaching kids about African history and culture, and we're going to make a cooking simulator teaching 1-2 cultural relevant dishes; I'm really excited for it!! I do worry about some of the classmates that aren't consistent with showing up, but because we're a full group of 8, there's at least 5 of us who are consistent with work
  • I finally took the plunge to upload my old project Electrobit fully on itch.io; the version that was up was an old alpha version, but since the game has been off the App Store for at least a few years now, I decided to add my finalized version (which was different than what was uploaded)
  • The tomato plants in the nursery downstairs are finally going to be moved out tomorrow or the next day, poor things grew so much that they're pushing against the ultraviolet light but it's been far too cold to plant them
  • I've been making progress on my RPG Maker MZ game to help promo my friend's book, and getting close to finishing the first edit of the book itself
  • Ate homemade hamburgers for the first time in a few months :)

Games

  • Still in FFXIV hell, I've been using my backloggd to keep a running track of what progress I've done, considering I have a lot of mini projects to do
    • Finishing leveling RDM + associated quests
    • Bullying my friend lovingly to play more
    • Making BiS gear for my gatherers and crafters
      • Which means working on the Namazu society quests because Stormsap fucking sucks to desynth
    • Finishing all crafter storylines
  • Approaching the end of my co-op OC run in BG3, we're in act 3 now and just kicked Raphael's shit in
  • Replayed a bit of Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer on my jailbroken 3DS 🤣

Watching / Reading

  • Still doing The Apothecary Diaries, did pick up one episode of Witch Watch which is pretty funny so far
  • Halfway through reading Laziness Does Not Exist and it's really drilled in how society really pushes for people to be overworked and punishing them for listening to their own mental health and bodily health. A good read for some tips to try to break out of society's toxicity of punishing 'laziness'
  • Finished volume 4 of Thousand Autumns / Quan Qiu and I'm so excited to get to the last volume

What's Been Going On?

  • Starting my new semester ... last semester too, which makes me mildly worried about all my courses and all the assignments that we need to do; I'm gonna try to stay on top of them this time
    • It doesn't help that halfway through the course we're swapping three (three!) classes from online to in person ... we're probably gonna try to complain about it since many of the students here travel by transport and don't live in the city
  • With summer being here ... ish ... I've been going out on more walks and playing more Pokémon Go, which is nice
  • The seeds my grandma put in the nursery we borrowed have been growing super well, though I had to rip one root that was reaching out to the other seeds
  • I got the books Atomic Habits and Laziness Does Not Exist which I'm looking forwards to reading

Games

  • I've gotten back into FFXIV which SIGHS ... now it's taken my attention away from Minecraft, but it's ok. Got it to boot up on SteamDeck
  • Still going through my co-op run and gale story run in Baldur's Gate 3
  • I've been mostly working on updating my Backloggd

Watching

  • Mostly been on a Minecraft YouTuber binge, Aust has been my comfort watch when I go to bed
  • Finished with FMAB, still waiting for Apothecary Dairies to keep airing and releasing
