Why do pokemon games never go down in price over the years :( It seems like all the most popular ones actually get MORE expensive preowned cos nobody wants to part with them! PMD Explorers of Sky is £129.99! And even an imported american one is still close to £60! O_O I mean at least kind of a good side effect is that every generation with a third version has the original two be cheaper. And that was the only PMD generation that had a third version, so I could get Time or Darkness for £20. But seriously Sky is literally just the same game but with all the region exclusives avaiolable, bugfixes, bonus dungeons... why would I ever not want that!! Looks like I have a goal to save up for!

Me at age 8, registering first internet account: Ehh I’ll just name myself after my fave plush toy Me at age 9: ugh cringe, I’ll regret that as an adult! Me 16 years later: adulthood can buy you many plush toys The username: *persists* The bunny: *is still beloved*

Man, that could be a really good plot actually... have some villain trying to create an ‘ultimate being’ or revive a ‘god of destruction’ or whatever but when it finally happens the lil guy is just like an innocent baby who doesn’t want to do evil and they’re not somehow mind controlled or inherantly dangerous or anything, so they have to be a final boss like this one in this game did instead they disobey the big scary scientist, and your final boss is defending them against that guy cos I mean probably if its just been born it wouldnt exactly know how to use its powers, even? hmm actually that could be an entirely different cool plot! like, the evil scientist finishes making his ultimately evolved superhuman, but it turns out it’s a lil baby that needs to be protected while it grows into its abilities. and then over the years of living a goofy domestic life with it, they end up genuinely bonding with their experiment and giving up on destroying the world. tho that’d probably have to be with a more cyrus-esque character instead of the gross and horrid 100% irredeemable science villain in parasite eve. cyrus is kinda unique for being a ‘destroy the world’ villain who has sympathetic reasons for it, I think thats why he was so memorable? anyway blah this train of thought went off on many directions but my toothache hurts less so its all good, lol

Social anxiety saves lives??

Huh I just had a really stupid experience. Just turned around and some guy was climbing in my window! I often say ‘man, I’m so socially anxious, I think i’d be less scared of getting stabbed in a dark alley’ but I guess I just proved it was true?? I was like ‘UGH MATE, GO ROB SOMEONE ELSE WHO ACTUALLY HAS MONEY’ and he freaked the fuck out and jumped out the window again! Then I just locked the window and turned the lights back off and went back to the computer. How the fuck has this experience not left me scared AT ALL yet talking to a customer service guy on the phone can make my heartrate hit the roof??? But also its funny to think about how the weird happenings today were all foreshadowing for this, and how my various social anxiety tactics managed to all work in my favour? Like I was all ‘wtf why is someone knocking on my door in the middle of the night’, and was too scared to open it. And then when i heard someone knocking on my WINDOW I just told myself i was imagining things, or it was a bird. But now in retrospect its obvious that the dude thought I was out because all my lights were off and I wasnt making any large amount of noise. Which is also cos of social anxiety, i always use headphones for the computer and dont have the lights on at 2am and stuff cos i dont wanna annoy my neighbours. And he wouldnt have seen me going in or out of the house all week cos I’ve been having A Depression Time. And then I didnt see him when he knocked at the window cos I had a piece of cardboard over it, cos the curtain rail is broken and its been a weirdly sunny winter. So yeah, a million coincidences of me being a failure at a human being ended up saving me! That and my weird fearlessness in the face of Actual Threat, which probably scared the living daylights out of him. Seriously I didnt even see his face, he just did this absolute piroette on the windowsill and jumped the fuck back out! XD Somehow I actually feel cheered up by this?? It was kinda badass? I was too ‘ugh really, today of all days?’ to even remember that ‘guy in window with knife’ is sort of a threat XD But also you can bet i will not be able to fuckin sleep now and first thing in the morning I’m calling my support worker and screaming HEY CAN WE BUMP THE  MOVING OF HOUSE UP THE PRIORITY LADDER PLZ I wonder if this is the same guy who smashed the window of the neighbour house last year? Cos that was right after they moved, and it seems this guy likes to capitalize on potentially abandoned houses instead of stabbing me like a man. CMON IVE BEEN CLOSER TO DEATH AT MY OWN HANDS, GEEZ!

ITS SNOW ITS SNOW!!

ITS SNOW!! There legit hasn’t been a damn speck of snow in my part of the country since I left high school, dammit! IM SO EXCITED AAAAAAA All these years of eharing ‘oh scotland got snow but you just get rain again’ and now MWAHAHAHA ITS FINALLY HERE!! its currently too thin and powdery to make a snowman but apparantly there will be a heavier snowstorm in the afternoon and i’m crossing my fingers for decent coverage! So anyway the excitement of snow overpowered my Even More Social Nervous Time After That Burglary, and I was able to head down the shops and pay my heating bill. It was easy to deal with the snow cos its been even colder indoors lately, lol! I fell on my butt a few times but it was hilarious and i had an excuse to wear my Cute Awesome Hat and also FINALLY use the gloves and scarfs set i bought when i was 19. They were a bit small for my hands so i couldn’t get them off again, lol!

Anyway its funny how britain sucks at dealing with snow! Not necessarily just because we have a low cold tolerance, but also because like.. governmentally we’re not prepared? Schools have to close everywhere but the most busy areas, cos its so infrequent that the government doesn’t have much measures in place to divert roads and sweep stuff. So even the most minor slipperiness can be the end for areas that aren’t considered governmentally important. Like.. its usually tourism centres first and everything else second. Its very annoying in my area cos they clearly came along in the night and swept the one road from the supermarket that leads into the motorway, but not ANY OF THE OTHERS! literally JUST the ‘people from somewhere else use it’ one. Like I mean i wouldn’t expect them to have the resources to do every single residential road but they didnt even do the main bus routes that local people need to get in and out! People’s cars are stuck in their driveways and they can’t even take the bus, yet that one stupid singular road three feet away has been swept spick and span for miles T_T And it also sucks because when you only have snow every five years or so, residents aren’t equipped to deal with it themselves either! like..NOBODY has snow shovels and now nobody can get anywhere that sells them! We literally only have the supermarket and thats the only shop for all of us to share, for miles around. And nobody has trucks in this entire damn country except for jobs that use trucks, cos we’re a very small place with loads of cramped roads and you need a professional license to be able to drive with the precision to get around them. So yeah everybody just stuck here with absolutely no way to battle the snow, except to get like.. brooms, spatulas, bare hands, whatever they can find. Standing for three hours holding a tiny cigarette lighter against the incoming horde! Even this super slow powdery snowfall is falling too fast for any of us to be able to shovel it when we don’t have shovels! So yeah people are starting to stock up and all the shelves are empty in the One Supermarket Shared For Everyone For Miles. This mild snowfall could equal being trapped indoors for weeks in this country unequipped to handle it! I’m just lucky that I live in 24/7 fully stocked apocolypse supplies land, cos i’m too socially anxious to go out often anyway XD I bought a 40 pack of long life milk just yesterday, lol! But I’m at least super glad to have my central heating back online now, and I can have a super relaxing mega bath while I wait for enough snow for snowmanning~

I’VE BEEN SO PRODUCTIVE THIS WEEK I’M SO PROUD OF MYSELF!!!

I’ve almost finished this big slow sprite project, and I also just have to nail together the last few pieces of this desk! I got the chairs done and i cleared away all the boxes and vaccuumed the place and washed the carpet! And I had only half of the desk done yesterday and now it’s all sorted and it’s just in pieces, yknow? All I have to do tomorrow is the screwing and the measuring to make sure it sits equal when its all together. That’s probably more of a morning task cos my eyes will be fresh and crisp, yknow?

Oh and I just need to finish the backsprite and the battle sprite and *fingers crossed* hopefully pull off this attempt number 4 to randomize the other trainer sprites. Oh and how to hack in the teeny tiny map icon! That’s surprisingly tricky cos its stored in a different area of the rom. I keep worrying a filesize is gonna be too big and I’ll accidentally corrupt data later in the game and not even know til I get there... or crap up the palettes into hell... Oh oh oh and I have a good idea for an animated intro! But I think that can wait til whenever I finish it.I don’t wanna delay the first episode any longer cos of my perfectionism, lol! I’m also gonna do the other overworld sprites (biking, surfing, berry planting, etc) whenever I reach them, cos that’ll probably be several episodes in.

Also i was considering calling it Lunatic Platinum to make it more unique? Cos this has turned into more than just a randomizer, after all. Also Lunatic Pandora was an area in FF8 that had a cool theme tune. If they ever do a missingno boss battle or anything, this would be quite fitting! Also entirely randomly, another unrelated game with an area with Lunatic in the title, which is also a laboratory, but this one is Wholesome And Calming instead. ALSO another calming laboratory from that same name, though not a Lunatic one. Also, winnie the pooh minigame theme.
