My nephew is turning 9. I’m buying him Paper Mario Origami King. Lots of text, good puzzles, colorful visuals. Hopefully it pries him away from Fortnite.

Lot less punk than expected. A lot less Raffi too. Perhaps that’s more records. Listened to a butt load of Fantome and Stellar Blade.

Having my 3DS download a bunch of games I had bought. Some I had played, some I hadn’t. Would be interesting revisiting A Link Between Worlds.

I was watching a YouTube video that I in the end put in the background and at the end of it buddy said “I want to thank you for watching and I hope you have a great rest of your day”, and man does that feel nice and much nicer than “don’t forget to subscribe”.

Loved loved loved playing Layton on DS and 3DS. Important part of my Japanese learning journey. a single page of text and having to understand enough to answer the riddle was heaven.

Another game to get it. Atlus’s final 3DS sale was great. Everything for 1,000 yen.

This Ahamo campaign I did does me 4,000 Dpoints a month. Perfect for when I have the itch to buy an old game I don’t need.

Tempted to play a 3DS game on the train today. Much easier than any Switch. I’m often tempted to get into Fire Emblem If again, but then remember how incredibly shit the story is.

Replaced my circle pad on my new3DS! That was not easy for me, especially putting back the SD card ribbon cable. Whe I tightened the circle pad screws all the way, it felt too tight, so I made it looser, but now I’ll forever be wondering if it’s too loose.

My wife is quite worried about flu season this year with our little baby, and it’s led to me being a lot less social than I had planned. Come spring time, lets all play Bomberman or something.

I’ve been watching TV shows with my spare time instead of playing video games. It’s a change of pace.

I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to try and replace the circle pad on my 3ds. I’m hoping that if I fuck it up, I can still use the dpad an touch screen to transfer things to a new severely overpriced 3ds

I’d like a blog that is very limited in scope, and more biographical. I talk about doing kids eikaiwa in 2006, then kindergarten and high school in 2008, then grad school in 2011, then shukatau in 2012, then black kigyo in 2013, then uni admin in 2014. The end. Six blog posts. Maybe there’s more.

I wrote something very incoherent about life this morning. I think the only way to write coherently would be to write often An edit often.

I booted up my Analogue Pocket for the first time in forever today. I still haven’t beaten any game on it. I think my Lunar Game Gear game has a busted battery. Looked into save states. Could back them up once a week or something.

Narrow Urawa roads in twilight on a rainy day at 4:30 give me stress when trying to park at the packed pediatrician.

Booted up Dragon Quest II, but I will give it a long break. I’ll aim for when I’m back from Canada.
I should have a goal for number of books to read next year. Or maybe even do December. Well, I mean that would be two books most likely. I should read two books by the end of the year. One in English
