Replaying the first like, 45 minutes of Final Fantasy VI got me to realize that I specifically find pixel art Terra to be goals rather than her design outside of FFVI itself

May have lied because I keep not making content anyways, and I do have something to say, even if useless
I think I'll make my comeback on this platform, but only after I actually make a video for Youtube and not keep up the whole "wannabe content creator" to then not create content the entire time, next post's probably gonna be about whatever I end up making my first video.

I think I might just have to stop being on social media again for a bit because I keep getting irrational for a probably dumb reason. Might make YT videos eventually, idk.

Do y'all think it's better if a story begins slowly, but gets better and better and is really good at the end, or if a story began really well, but falls off gradually until the ending is just not good? (Probably no one will see this)

I have finished Omori for the first time today (started it like 3 years ago tho) and honestly really good, not super into some of the fluff in the middle with the dream sequences, but otherwise really good game imo

When the Switch version of DKC Returns finally has actual new content and it's basically "levels but a lot harder" and "the better sidekick Kong is here". The latter feels weird that they added that because I thought it was well known that Dixie kind of trivialized the other Kongs in Tropical Freeze

I get this grand idea of making a video essay about a very specific game, only to likely not be in the mood to start writing the script the next time it isn't super late

I'm tempted to finish Visions of Mana just to see if the game is as bad as I think it is.

One thing my father told me that burned into my brain and has never been disproven to me is that cops are bullies who found a job that let them keep being bullies.
I would add that ICE are bullies that were found too incompetent to qualify for the police department.

New Years Resolutions are overrated. If I want to try to make a change to myself, I'm not gonna just wait until the beginning of a new year to do it.

Better to be ignored with only 5 followers than to be ignored and have 200+ because of being in a starter pack

For my more general first impressions, Final Fantasy X I don't think has a more interesting start than VII does, but the actual battles are the quickest I've experienced in a Final Fantasy game by far, which already makes a better first impression for me than IX.
I got to the laughing scene in Final Fantasy X. Absolute cinema.
