Ok, I think that my most recent project is more or less complete... a workspace upgrade! I've got TONS more desk space and storage to keep things organized, and the whole thing is more "personal" now. ☺️
Probably gonna tinker a bit more, but I'm quite happy with how it turned out!

OMG. Haven't played any DOA for a couple months, was cleaning and found my 3DS with DOA Dimensions in it. Opened it up to see if it was still in sleep mode and accidentally started a 50 match survival game (which I hadn't cleared before). Figured "fuck it, why not?" to see how far I'd get... 😳

Finally, all that effort I put into Aerith is paying off! Can't wait to see what ultimate power she gets. :)

OMFG, WHAT!?
Tomonobu Itagaki was a very controversial game director. The sexual harrassment allegations against him really make it hard to hold him in too much esteem, but he's also largely responsible for the creation of some of my all-time favourite games. A problematic fav for sure, and one /1

With my PC still out of commission, I've been pouring a lot more time in FF7 the past few days. Just getting to the Temple of the Ancients now.
I played this game on PSP more than a decade ago. I somehow managed to make my way through it to the final boss battle, but it didn't really click with /1

The kids had a blast too. Got my son some custom Lego mini-figs, a Minecraft villager plush, and some claw game plays. He also was very excited to hang out with R2-D2 and Chewbacca, haha

Pretty great weekend, I must say.
Friday, I spent the whole day playing MTG commander and a Final Fantasy draft. Even managed to win a commander game with my favourite deck and picked up a few cards I'd been eyeing.
Today, went to Comiccon with the kids and got a couple cool, nerdy things!

This was very early in my playthrough, but I've been refashioning to shinobi robes despite running a heavy armour build. :)
