Just another reason I love living in Tokyo: I can pick up these adorable Dragon Quest gummies on the local conbini when they appear once and never again.

Is it just me, or does Augustine de Vries from Outer Worlds 2 look kind of like Sandra Bullock? 😅

Speaking of The Nonary Games, they're also on sale for 80% off. Great puzzles and so many branching paths. I loved some of the characters back in the day and keep thinking I should replay them some time.

For any fans of visual novels with intriguing narratives, branching paths and multiple endings (you need to experience these before figuring out the 'true' ending, similar to the The Nonary Games: 999), Paranormasight is 50% right now!
Set in Tokyo, it deals with horror legends and curses.

My costume for Halloween dress-up at work yesterday. Rather worryingly, several kids knew it was Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, even as young as 13! 😂
One student said I looked 'very handsome', and another said my hair looked great haha. The kids are all right, really.

Played through Dead Letter Dept. (currently on sale!) and it was such a different type of game. I can't do most horror games, but this one was just creepy enough to spook me whilst not being over-the-top scary.
Definitely recommend if you want something unique! Multiple endings, too.

Praise the weather gods: we might actually see the sun tomorrow for the first time in ages! Well, in about a week or so, which is a long time when you're used to it appearing so frequently. 😂
Alas, it seems it'll be short-lived.

For anyone who hasn't already played the phenomenal TellTale series 'The Walking Dead', the definitive edition is a whopping 90% off on Steam at the moment and includes all of the 4 main seasons as well as the Michonne DLC. Absolutely bargain!

Made it onto the WTATV as I was sitting so close to Bencic's coach. 😅 I'll let you work out which one I am (hint - I'm the one who looks dressed for winter lol)

The winning point. Nice to see Bencic so happy at the win! I lucky for Noskova, but she's only 21 so has plenty of years left to win other titles.

It was both irritating (because it was right in my left ear) and insightful to hear Bencic's coach offering constant advice and encouragement 😅
Got to see her up close as she won and came to celebrate with her team. It's terrible quality as I was clapping, too lol
Now for the doubles' final!

Back for the finals today! Front row, right next to the coaches' area. Think I preferred my seat yesterday as it was more central, but it will be cool to see the players up close!

Man, fuck that Takezo duel. That was the most ridiculous fight in the entire game. 😑 Had to turn the difficulty down as I was just raging after losing umpteen times in a row. So this platinum feels a little cheap now, but eh...I've got a save just before the fight so I can redo it lol

It's Sports Day here (public holiday) and all of the cafés are shut. What's a girl to do except get ramen for breakfast instead? 😅

What's an indie game that you don't really see people speak about but really love?
Mine's 'I Was a Teenage Exocolonist'. Played it through twice and will do so again eventually. Highly recommend if you like visual novels with RPG aspects.

It finally arrived! Good thing I'm off sick and was in to receive it. 😅
Only thing I'm miffed about is that it's a digital download for the game rather than physical.
Also did not realise you can't redeem Japanese codes on a UK account. Whoops. At least I have a backup Japanese account, too lol
