Le sigh.
I’ve made a lot of empty promises in regards to this mostly defunct blog, but for some reason posting to it gives me some feeling of satisfaction. Perhaps an existential crisis with minimal efforts to help alleviate it? I DON’T KNOW, but damnit to all hell on earth, I’ll keep this blog alive until the day I DIE!
…watch me die tomorrow and that’ll be that :D
Now down to the nitty gritty.
It just takes me SO long to paint/draw anything nowadays due to my addiction to gaming and my favorite past time–sleeping. The Nintendo Switch 2 dug its claws into me for a few months; I’m looking at you Dredge, No Man’s Sky, AND Donkey Kong Bananza. Then for some reason, I pulled out the PS Vita and I’m now obsessed with Muramasa Rebirth.

Look at it! This game is SO good, and it’s a shame they don’t have any plans to bring it to modern consoles with higher resolutions (quick Google search annnnd nope, no news). Any and EVERY Vanillaware game needs to be updated to be at least 4K resolution. I mean c’mon, Unicorn Overlord is a shoo-in for a Switch 2 update, but no news as of right now. The disappointment is unreal…so sad.
In other news…
I currently have a few works in progress; a few of them are still in inking mode (or hell, inking is complete, but I have to lay some colors down). >.>;; But if there’s any silver lining to this post, here’s a screenshot of what I’m currently painting :D

Then there are paintings I’ve completed, but I haven’t posted them anywhere. Some of them just need some time to marinate and cook so that I can look at them in a different perspective. Maybe I’ll get around to polishing them for a good post…maybe…

Crisis averted.

I can’t believe it has been three four months since my last blog post. I mean, nobody really reads this, but boy does it feel good to lay it all out – the good, the bad, and the fugly. Since it’s nearing Christmas, I will give a fair warning to all, I WILL NOT BE ON SOCIAL MEDIA during “the holidays.” I’m not really big on social media anyway, but don’t expect a family Christmas photo nor expect a Merry Christmas SMS (but I do enjoy my little sister’s Christmas photos featuring her legion of dogs). I’m just not a holiday person a horrible person. Damn, just bait me with adorable dog photos/videos and I turn into the Christmas saint…if such a thing exists.
So what will I be doing during the holidays? Working my 12 hour/day job, catching up on some reading (I finished Hollywood Dead finally), hopefully draw on some cute anime guys, and PLAY SPLATOON 2! I’m not really sure why I’m in love with Splatoon 2, but there are certain aspects of the game everybody should love. It’s colorful, the character designs are refreshing, and it’s just nice, clean fun. Now EVERYONE run out, buy a Nintendo Switch (if you don’t already own one) and Splatoon 2, and let’s battle it out online :)

After trying to finish school with a “passing” grade and squeezing in 400+ obsessive hours of Splatoon 2 since July 2017 (not to mention the highly addictive Monster Hunter World in March of this year), I’m finally back to catch up on my list of books, anime, and games. Here’s a semi-exhaustive list. I’ll have to add onto this list or make a separate page to house my “to do list” since it’s a little difficult to concentrate while trying to type a blog post and watch Shokugeki no Soma s03e23 (I mean…who IS this Morpheus looking dude and WTF is umami?!). Perhaps I’ll post mini reviews after I finish each item.
