but for gilgamesh, it's morphin' time!
Well, the most interesting thing that has happened is that I finally beat FFV Advance!
I sat down with the cat on Thursday afternoon, imagining that I would be spending all the time till Luke was streaming Journey, trying and failing to beat Neo Exdeath.
Except that I did it on my first go. Even though I thought at one point that I'd effed it up by KO'ing the one section with Break (it's laughably vulnerable to a Spellblade Break for some reason!). There was also one point where three characters were KO'ed, and I was convinced I'd hit a Death Spiral (as had happened on several previous occasions), but somehow I kept going, Lenna got two chances to roast him with Bahamut at the end, and then that was it!
It took about half an hour in all, because I was at the expected level (41), and hadn't really ground any job levels (apart from to get Faris Zeninage, but it turns out I didn't need it in the end!) I had looked up advice on the internet, but it turns out I shouldn't have done that, because it was the usual "why aren't you level 99, scrub!" (because grinding is boring a f?) and "level 40 is underlevelled for end game!" (it isn't). Honestly, I wanted to reach through my phone screen and punch people.
But anyway, yeah, that was a thing I did! And I'm glad I did! I like that game so, so much more than I ever thought I would when I first played it fifteen years ago. The GBA translation is AMAZING. I like all the characters, I even like the job system! And the soundtrack is great! (I mean, I didn't dislike it, but it wasn't one of my favourites, but now I definitely think I like it a lot more).
I have kept randomly getting the final boss fight theme stuck in my head ever since, which is odd, but I figured out I heard it at least thirty five times on a loop, so I'm not really surprised it's wedged in there.

As noted: Luke streamed Journey! He had never played it before, so he didn't know what it was going to be like.

Other than that, I've spent most of the last week making felt/material applique pictures and having massive amounts of fun. I've been making them with a thought to hanging them on a wall, but I need some more hoops to frame them in first.
I thought I'd put them up in the space between the two windows in what was my mum's room. That means that I won't see them a lot right now, because I don't spend a lot of time in there, but I don't mind.
