keltena(I at no point intended to make "title journal entries with wolf pupy tweets" an actual policy, but I'm starting to become weirdly fond of it.)
I spent this weekend traveling with my brother to visit a friend, and it was great, but I think I've only just now returned to full processing power. I'm pretty sure I did more in those 4-5 days than I usually do in two weeks! Highlights include being relentlessly accosted for affection by my friend's cat and dogs, and an escape room we solved together. I'd never done an escape room before, but it was a ton of fun; I'm disappointed the company doesn't have any locations near me, because the room was fun and our game master was super nice. (We started off all handcuffed to a bed frame in a dark room. We proceeded to spend maybe ten minutes earnestly combing the room via careful coordination and angling of the single desk lamp for every puzzle we could reach while handcuffed, in hopes that one of them contained the key, before the game master cut in to tactfully imply that there was a light switch right in front of us.)
I was also introduced to this masterpiece of a Mario Maker level, which I'm helpfully passing on to anyone else who might appreciate it. (It's a 14-minute video, but might be entertaining if you have the time.)
I started properly studying Japanese again this spring, and it's been a great decision so far. My Japanese is still very beginner-level, but I'm making visible progress, which is exciting—I increasingly find myself able to read simple things with, if not reliability, a good deal less unreliability than I'd expect. The best thing about this is that my reading level is now perfect for spending an hour reading Inspirational Japanese posts to anyone within earshot. This is my current favorite. (It says don't translate into English if you can't read properly.)
My favorite discovery from reading random tweets on my timeline so far: 草 (grass) is internet slang for "funny", because www is the common shorthand for amusement/laughter, and, well...
I just glanced at my last post, and... jeez, it's been a month since I said I was going to finish that "Danganronpa characters as wolf pupy tweets" post? Most of that month has been me repeatedly blanking on what to put for Peko and Mahiru, because there's always the one or two stragglers that hold the whole thing up, apparently.See also: why half of this Beatrice/Battler fanmix has remained unfinished for... probably a year and half at this point, solely because finding a balanced collection of Battler songs is like pulling teeth. Any suggestions are obviously more than welcome, on the off-chance anyone else keeps wolfpupy tweets on hand to suggest for any occasion, but I'm led to understand most people don't actually do that.
People around me keep talking about Zanki Zero, and it's very difficult. I have a backlog and shouldn't be starting new, apparently long games! But I want in on the conversations! My life is very hard.
