i'm tired of being tired

[muladhara]

Last Monday, I had nausea with a migraine that was so bad I actually thought I was going to throw up. I got the nausea before the pain, so initially, I thought it'd been something I'd eaten the day before. Turns out not!

So, anyway, I don't often get that as a symptom, which is why I didn't twig what it was at first, and when I usually do, I'm usually just a bit queasy.

I. I do not want this.

Then yesterday, I had an air pressure migraine, which was gross because I could feel it in my face. Like. I wish sinuses did not exist, because I hate it when I can feel that they're there and am reminded.

I do not want that, either.

I started playing FFXIII-2 again a bit ago, and I am currently around 7 hours in. I don't really have a lot to say, except I think I'm probably playing it wrong. I'm trying not to use my game guide unless I really have to (they say, having already looked up two bosses on the internet). I'm dumping most of Serah's development into Ravager/Medic/Saboteur (in roughly that order) because I think she has higher magic stats that Noel, and then Noel is Commando/Sentinel/probably Synergist? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I remember more of the early game than I thought I would. Snow's daft redesign doesn't bug me as much as it used to (although I still am side-eyeing that haircut because WHAT IS THAT).

In other news, I had to go out yesterday morning at short notice, and much to my own annoyance, so I bought myself some pens to make me feel better (nobody is surprised). I got a six pack of neon Stabilo fineliners, and two Uni Pin pens - one a brush tip, one a 05 dark grey. Turns out I already had a replacement brush pen, and the dark grey one's tip is bent (I didn't think to check it before I left the store). It's useable, but I am slightly annoyed about that. And I can't get a replacement because I didn't get a receipt, and I won't be able to go back any time soon :|

I'm really pleased with the neon fineliners, though, because they truly are eye-wateringly neon. I don't know what I'll use them for, but I'm sure I'll think of something.

oh NO, those are honestly the worst migraines imo. I'm so sorry. (I mean, they are all worst, but ugh, nausea, why.)

You recall correctly that Serah is "supposed" to go the magic path and Noel the physical, which is both "sigh, JRPGs" and "at least they didn't pull a bait and switch."

I can deal with the brain fog and feeling antsy and all the rest of it (but, as you say, it is all the worst), but something about my stomach just lurching like it did, blehhhhh no thanks.

Aye, it definitely is. I wish they kind of had pulled a bait and switch, but I guess Serah being able to hold her own in a fight physically wouldn't gel with what we know of her from the previous game, sighs.

I think if you focus really hard you can get Serah up a physical path and Noel up magic and it's pretty close to as good, but the game expects you to specialize and lbr we know what specialization most players will choose for each....

Oooh, I might have to try that next time I play. But yeah.
