For the better, the last years of my life have been largely influenced by a video game about magic space zombies and an anime about a Japanese boys volleyball team.
And today, I'm thinking about the quote "To be truly strong, one must continually discard one's strength."

Last week, I was dead set on grinding out easy pinnacles to get the last piece of 2000 gear I needed. Today, I got it immediately after my first activity completion and that's just how it goes I suppose.
