Currents of Time

Went to the doctor again. They've put me on druuuuuugs. I have mixed feelings about this, but will spare you the paragraphs of doom. Also, side effect warnings are always hilariously alarming. (At least they are small enough pills that I will be able to swallow them? Advil gives me trouble a fair amount of time... I can't even swallow the round ones at all.)

And then I came home and spend hours making an Excel sheet of all my random gear in FFXI. What it is, what level it is, and, most importantly, which character has it. My god, do I get sick of shuffling through my three girls trying to find that one stupid item that I know I have. (Beeecause making an Excel sheet of it all is easier than just sorting it so you have Hisi and then GEAR MULE and OTHER STUFF MULE...? I wonder which character would do which... I mean, Kihara hoardes everything and Ayarei tends to only hang onto things that she'll actually have a use for... Damn my tendency to sort items onto them based on their characterisation rather than anything resembling practicality! AND HEAVEN FORBID I EVER SELL ANYTHING.)

30 Days of Video Games

( Day 23 - Game you think had the best graphics or art style )

So, I toggle between web browsers depending on what I'm doing. (And, since I'm inordinately lazy, if I have multiple accounts, I keep myself logged into a different one on each browser.) One of these browsers is Google Chrome! It is not excellent, but it is not terrible, either. However, apparently it has eaten Facebook or something? I have looked for ways to fix this but have not found any. Has anyone got any ideas? Here is what it looks like on Chrome. (And now you all know which browser I use for "FFXI on Facebook." Whee!) (Actually, since I almost never check FB using Hisime's account, I am not entirely sure when this started. Sometime in the last month or so, I know that much, at least.) Cache-clearing solved it. Took me am embarrassing amount of time to find it, but now it is functional again. Yaaay!


Anyway, this probably doesn't matter to any of you, but because I'm super cheap and my phone is pay-as-you-go, I'm going to start being (read: trying to be) on Skype more / at all. I am JeccaAM there. So if anyone ever wants to poke me that way, now you can!

Starts right after part 2 with nothing that even pretends to be an intro back into things...

( Shadow of the Colossus PART 3 YAY )

Next one should be the last.

First, I know it's tacky to leave this here instead of replying directly but adshufjigko and I'm bad at that and I can't think of anything that doesn't come out with me saying I'm sorry for being pathetic all over the place (I AM AWKWARD YAY) BUT ANYWAY, thank you for the support on my previous entry. It really did help.

Now I talk about video games.

No, I haven’t abandoned FFXII.

BUT I DID PLAY ANOTHER GAME OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS. EVERYTHING OUTSIDE THE CUT IS NEWER, EVERYTHING UNDER IT IS FROM A FEW DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

CAPS CAPS CAPS

Since this is all prewritten (I did beat the game before Christmas, as it is short and straightforward), there aren't a lot of places where I close in an obvious END OF ENTRY ('fraid I don't plan that far in advance). Everything under the cut for the next few entries just directly follows everything from under the cut of the previous entry. The death count is ridiculously short. I'll just post it in the last entry.

( Shadow of the Colossus PART 1 YAY )

My exciting news is that I got a PSP! YAY! (Not remotely surprising, since it was almost the only thing on my list, BUT STILL YAY!)(THIS MEANS WHEN DISSIDIA COMES OUT HERE I CAN PLAY IT WHENEVER I WANT, not just whenever my brother is home and comes to see me - or I go see him - and he lets me borrow it. Also, now I can finish playing Crisis Core.) It's one of the bundle packs. Also, it's a silver one, not a black one. (And one of the thinner ones, so, no, Dad, there is absolutely no chance in the world of my brother and I confusing ours.) (It is not the newest model, though, which is good, because the screen looks weird on that one.) It came with a Family Guy DVD (which I promptly handed off to my brother, because I don't like that show) and Daxter, which is kind of alarmingly short.

But right now I only have Daxter, so I played that. (Did I mention Daxter is short?) SORRY TO SAY I DID NOT KEEP A LIST OF MY DEATHS (my guess would be less than Jak II LIKETHAT'SHARD um. Actually, probably not as high as any of the other games, closest to The Precursor Legacy... not because I didn't die a lot, but because it's really, really short.), BUT I'LL STILL POST THOUGHTS ABOUT IT. (I think they opened a few plot holes, sadly.) Or maybe I'll just replay. Since it's short enough. (I was downstairs and it was Christmas, and I can game and have coherent conversations, but I can't game and keep a log of everything.)

(Also my mom wanted to try, so she played through the first mission. She thinks Daxter is adorable, but does not like the PSP controls. They do take some getting used to.) (I am not there yet.)
