with the start of 2024, comes a mostly uneventful first month. hope you all had a good january!

i beat the smrpg remake right before new years. and i nearly cried. when i first got into it, i was.. not the best person. i wasnt bigoted or anything, just really annoying (not in the good way.. i dont like talking about it). but now, im an adult that actually knows what im doing half the time. the game means so much to me and without it i wouldnt have met some of my online friends, and probably would have been a completely different person. i highly recommend the game to those who wish to play it. doesnt matter if its the original or the remake- give it a chance if youre interested!

i did a lot of updating on my site this month. mainly related to css and the front page. i decided to move away from the table layout and try something a bit different. im so proud of how it turned out! when it comes to css, its for my diary. just so each page looks consistent and i dont have to painstakingly update each page to whatever layout i want it to be. it's still a major wip, but its going better than i expected.

i experienced a very bizarre emotion after having a dream. you see, the dream i had involved me eating a huge pizza slice. i could taste it and everything. it genuinely felt like i ate it! then i woke up, and my stomach was completely empty. it was weird. i could have sworn i ate something! cant have shit in canada.

a sort-of selfship related event happened online. the creator of the thanos beatbox meme went broke for an amv of himself and the girl from hazmat motel. i dont know whether i should be happy a popular internet figure is technically a selfshipper, or be disappointed in the fact he spent all his patreon money on it. but the fact of the matter is, its surely something that happened.

that aside.. i finished gregory horror show! i really loved it. my favorite volume is the second one. aside from being infatuated with gregory, im also madly in love with cactus gunman. i watched another anime called a little snow fairy sugar. its a cutesy shoujo about a girl named saga who befriends some fairies with weather powers. very simple, but enjoyable to watch. overall, i can recommend both of these shows!

i read up to the eighth volume of the persona 5 manga. i really like it! it combines elements of the original with royal. i hope to get the other volumes soon. thankfully the book store i go to almost always has the manga in stock. it's rather rare something i like goes in stock beyond the first 2-3 volumes. the only other series i like that they keep stock of is mp100 (i gotta watch s3..).

in my unova adventure, i defeated team plasma. the elite four battle wasnt too hard, and all i needed to beat iris was a bit of planning. while on the topic of pokemon, im long overdue for an alpha sapphire replay. the thing that prevented me from doing it much earlier was attachment to the legendaries i managed to get.. until my friends pointed out the ones i got from the gts were likely hacked and not some generous player blessing me with their shiny arceus.

sadly, we end this month on a negative note. llsif 2 is coming out next month, which is awesome! i loved the original sif. but they also announce the shut down date in the same tweet. like. what the hell?? listen, im used to mobile gacha game bs. but this is a whole new low. it doesnt help that the jp servers will be shutting down soon too! ill still be playing though.. i just hope the fans protest enough for these stupid shutdown dates to at least be extended. or out of the picture completely.

im hoping the rest of the year will be full of fun things.
