# Considering forcing myself to write. After all, that's kind of what I did back in 2014 to get the sci-fi story off the ground, and I'm so fucking sick of feeling pangs of jealousy when people talk about how much they've written.
(I don't think I've ever nailed more than about 15K in a year, but it'd be nice? to be able to do that again).
I also need to stop thinking about themes and saying Stuff™ because I get too bogged down in it, when I should just be writing for the heck of it, which how I write best.
# I have downloaded both Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia (DFFOO/Opera Omnia from here on in) and Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. I had problems with data downloads on both games, but that was mainly down to our shitty internet, I think. (I wanted to smash our router after three goes at the FFBE data, which then decided to play nice while I play Opera Omnia, so IDEK???)
I haven't played enough of FFBE to know if I like it or not, but I think the battle mechanics (swiping different ways to access different things) are interesting. I don't like having to have random people join my battles, but IDK if there's a way to switch that off (probably not).
I like Opera Omnia! I keep squealing while playing it, and the drawn art is so cute I actually hecking can't with it (it's Nomura, isn't it? It certainly looks like his style). Also it amuses the heck out of me when someone says something in Japanese and I actually understand it (I'm not great at Japanese, but I seem to have retained what I do know).
# It was my birthday yesterday, and now I am Incredibly Ancient™ because I'm thirty seven and, as everybody on the internet knows, you are a dried up husk if you are over the age of thirty. I had a nice, chilled day, just sat in the sun playing vidya and stroking the cat. It was good.
# EDIT: forgot to mention that I fixed Pocket Camp all by myself! I talked to the animals who were "stuck" at the visiting points and then that seemed to solve whatever problem I was having. It's been running fine since then *touches wood* [/eta]

I resemble this entire remark so much. (Though my sci-fi story was 2016 and I only got to about 75 pages that year before I hit a brick wall and deemed everything about it, and myself, and the universe utter trash hahah)
I really like Opera Omnia! I couldn't get into the other phone games beyond the "gotta catch 'em all" mechanic, which only gets me so far, but I'm really digging OO. The music and art style is awesome, gameplay is fun (I could so see this expanded a little and made into a 3DS RPG), and the lil story bits are well executed. Plus, everything is. so. cute. Wooo!
Happy belated day of origination! You're not ancient-- you're cultivated like the finest of wines ;)

Yes to everything about OO! It should totally be on the 3DS, that would be amazing (and kinder to my phone battery ;) ). I can't get over how cute it is. The style of the models weirds me out on some characters (say, Sazh), but it totally suits others, like Vivi (who is the most super cute of them all, but we knew that anyway). And the art is like, tooth rottingly cute, and totally the actual reason I decided to play it. I'm not very far in, but I am enjoying it A LOT.
Thank you! I don't think or feel old, but sometimes the internet tells me I am, but honestly, what do they know?
