My Ps4 is in the shop getting a refurb Bluetooth and network components suffering from age. The lack of it quickly incurred the my 19yr old daughters wrath as she cant fully access her account on Genshin impact now..lol The dirty looks I was getting most of last night..sheesh.

She's subtlety using those looks to get you to buy a ps5. (though can you even find them yet?)
My daughter turns 19 tomorrow. She asked for Hogwarts Legacy on Steam so that she will get. (I swear when she was born; the doctor did this on purpose; she was born on 02/04/04 at 4:04 PM)

*Listens to Coheed and Cambria for 30 minutes*

Man, it's poetry. Tickles my spine every time.

Gonna keep my alive through this turn around.

I really should start a roth IRA.

...I just saw the Trophy list for FF9. Who thought that requiring 1000 consecutive jumps in jump rope was a good idea for an achievement? I'm going to have to resort to using a script just to get that with Remote play, because no way in hell am I doing that normally.

Perfect Grade Gundam kits are starting to show up again. Half tempted to go get one, but the store with the one I'd want is almost two hours away and it's still cold as hell out.

Still worth it! Pack some snacks and good music :3

Checked the shop's Facebook page (I have a Facebook account for literally no reason other than to follow a handful of local nerd shops), and they're having a swap meet next Saturday. Maybe I'll wait till then, get an earlier start on the drive. Doubt they'll sell out of $200+ kits that quickly.

I look forward to seeing your next finished model.

The more I play FF9, the more I'm reminded WHY it's my least favorite main series FF game (not including numbered sequels like XIII-2 or stuff like that). 7 seconds between an empty ATB and a full one on the fastest game speed...compared to most other FF games where it's around 4 seconds. Tetra Master serves no purpose outside of the tournament in Disc 3, and after that you can't get any rewards from it anymore either. Trance is the worst Limit Break system in the series, and the game has more missables than a standard Tales game (which have a LOT of missables).

All the more reason I want a remake for 8 and 9. There is something wonderful in both...but they both need polish.
