There's something immensely freeing about the week you don't have to cap tomes in FFXIV. So excited to just raid log again for a while.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is everything I wanted it to be and more. You can tell how much love Sandfall put into it.

GotY and voice nominations for basically everyone, and the soundtrack getting the best score award all seem reasonable in this case.

Finished up Cold Steel 2 yesterday. Very emotional finale and epilogue. Going to miss these goobers while I take a break from the series for a couple months so as to play some other games on my backlog and not burn out on my love for this series.

Highlights are Fie, Millium, and surprisingly Elliot

This new Zemuria Grand Odyssey album is fantastic. All of the arrangements are great, and they go far beyond what I was expecting.

10/10 for sure!

I don't quite understand why people don't love Trails of Cold Steel 2. I'm nearing the end and it's been fantastic.

Let’s assume to half a second that the $5000 per American DOGE checks were real (they’re not). That wouldn’t even cover half of what I lost in the last three days. And I’m a young American with a fairly low 401k.

But hey, at least the price of eggs will continue rising due to these tariffs.

I’ve heard mixed things about Trails of Cold Steel as an arc, but so far I’ve loved it. I think the side characters are the strongest they’ve ever been, and the main cast is great too. Add in good music and a solid political story, and I’m happy.

Currently at the end of Act 1 of Cold Steel 2 btw.

I'm in a reading slump. Not even able to keep reading a book that I know I like.

I think the greatest success of Trails of Cold Steel 1 is making me care about a nation that I did not want to experience. By the end, not only did I care about the main characters, but even just the regular ones walking around Thors and Trista.

Seeing marked improvements at the gym is such good motivation. I still have a ways to go before my goal but my endurance, pace, and distance are all improving on my runs.

I forgot that the Tales of Graces intro is like a couple hours long. I remembered it being a thing but forgot that Asbel as a kid is actually a fairly competent character to use in battle.

The Way of Kings is long, man. I’m enjoying it, but holy heck it’s long. I gotta take breaks between these books lol

Finished up Warbreaker the other day and loved it too. Now I’m struggling to figure out what to read next. Do I go straight into Stormlight Archive? Read the second series of Red Rising books? Start some other fantasy or sci-fi book?

Help me #Booksky!

I really wanted to finish one more book before the new year, but it doesn't look like I'm gonna make it. That's okay though, I started my adult reading journey in September and read 8 and a half books before the end of the year. I'd say I did pretty good for someone reclaiming their love of reading.

I’ve been out of school for 7 years now, so why do I STILL get recurring nightmares that I have a test in a science class I’ve never attended?

I feel like I don’t have any interesting to say lately.

I like French toast.

I was so innocent when I said this. 230 pages later and nothing has happened!
So people were telling me that Elantris is one of Sanderson’s weaker works, but it’s still quite good so far. Not sure what peeps are talking about.

I'm a little overwhelmed with the tutorial overload in Atelier Ryza. For a cozy game there is a LOT to think about, at least in the early hours.

Got called to come into the office today despite plans to work from home. That can’t be a great sign can it?

That awkward moment when you take a nap and wake up having no idea when the fuck in time you are. What time is it? 3:15? AM or PM? And what day even is it?

What an amazing game. Really sad to say goodbye to this amazing cast and great setting.

Wicked was amazing. Absolutely a love letter to the play. And the cast. THE CAST. Cynthia and Ariana were perfect. Jonathan Bailey’s star is gonna rise.

So good. I’d definitely see it in theaters again.

I’m very excited that there is a character named “Aira” in public consciousness now due to #dandadan ‘s popularity.

However, I am readily waiting for that first person to ask if she was the reason for my name. I know it’s coming. Just a question of when. :P
