kupopo!

I have done some weaving! I have a loom from a box kit my mum bought me when I was a kid, and I dug it out and have been using that. And for the first time in, well, ever, it didn't feel tedious! (Okay, maybe just a little bit, but not as bad as I remember). I put on one of Oxboxtra's Among us streams from last year, and wove while I rewatched that, and it was great!

I think part of the problem I used to have is that I need something else to keep my brain going while I'm working? I've found this with other things I thought were boring in the past, and it's worked out well for me.

I also finished the "sewing across a canvas" thing (this is essentially what I did, but this isn't the tutorial I took the idea from, nor what I did). It took way less time than I thought, once I got going, and it wasn't too bad in the end. I don't know what I'll do with the finished product, but that's typical of a lot of my experiences with crafts, let's be honest.

Meanwhile, here's some more memery! I might as well finish this off, as leaving the last question till I'm on the internet next seems a bit daft! (Also I've got another video game meme I'm itching to do).

25. Dragon Quest is Enix's original big franchise. Have you played any of the DQ series?

Yes, I played Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2, and I did not like it. As I said in a previous entry, I don't particularly like Akira Toriyama's art style, and I felt that losing half your gold when you died was unfair. Oh, also Jessica has jiggle physics and Do Not Want, thank you very much.

I do like some of the monster designs, though, but not enough to ever play another one.

26. Final Fantasy is Square's original big franchise. Have you played any of the FF series?

Yes, absolutely I have! Like [personal profile] lassarina said, though, it's probably quicker to list what I haven't played, thus:

FFIV: The After Years, VII Remake, XI (because MMO), XIV (because also MMO), and XV. I also haven't played the original Crystal Chronicles game, nor any Chocobo's Dungeon (although I want to). Or World of Final Fantasy, and I think there's some mobile games, but I'm not 100% on that right now (I guess Mobius counts, because I didn't get very far into it before I gave up, and now you can't play it at all!)

27. Eidos brings series like Tomb Raider with it. Have you played any Eidos games?

Yes, the original Tomb Raider, and possibly 2, as well as one of the later ones for the PSX that I can't remember the title of.

28. Taito offers all sorts of different games, including the Darius series. Have you played any Taito games?

As mentioned every time Taito has come up: Bust A Move. Matching games and cute character designs, what's not to love?

29. Square-Enix also owns Gangan Comics. Are you familiar with any of that catalog?

Apart from the FF, KH, DQ, Fire Emblem and Star Ocean manga, I have actually heard of Soul Eater! (I own the anime on DVD; I haven't watched it yet). I have also heard of Black Butler and Space Dandy, but I haven't read either of them.

30. Free Space! Talk about anything else Square-Enix that wasn't asked.

FFXII is really good and you should play it! (lol, jk, I've already said this about 900% times while doing this meme).

I don't know as I have anything else to say, which is terrible! And, as is usual, I'll think of several things after I've logged off, sigh.
