Konnichassu!!!

While the header for this post is slightly dark, it is the representation of my current game fixation… which I will expound on in the later half of this post.

Although the world has found itself on a topsy-turvy this year with all the wars and politics happening (as well as the weather brought by global warming), it has been a very busy and crazy year for me. And man, I can’t really share much about it coz it passed like a blur and I barely remember much of it right now in this look back.

If I did think, most of it was adulting focused coz gotta hustle for a brand new setup and all the other complexities that is brought by adulting. I am being very meticulous with my work too so that takes some time off my free time to blog. Then, there’s the back-to-back-to-back (and some more) family visits which got me off my office ever so often. The one big thing I think that I did this year was my kouhai’s wedding in June… yeah basically just that.

I do journal offline even if it is as intermittent as it is since time is quite weird for me this year. But, I rather save that monologue of reading through my rather uneventful year for my journal rather than here. Even in my socials I haven’t been posting much apart from some stories here and there. I do like Threads and Instagram, but X? Not much these days apart from some art and people I follow. Bluesky? I am in Bluesky but as it is, I only post there rarely.

Gaming wise? well, I have been very diligent with it even if I spend here and there. Gachas, yes I still play all the Hoyo games each time there is a big update coz man, the storylines are just so good. I did pick up Wuthering Waves this year when it came out but not a regular player. I may this time once the PS5 drops in two days by the time of this post. I did buy some offline titles this year like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, God of War: Ragnarok and Black Myth: Wukong. Rebirth, I started it and in Chapter 9 but it was around the time work was picking up and we have visitors left and right so I never got to continue it yet. God of War: Ragnarok, it will be a game I will do next year. Probably after I finish Wukong and Rebirth.

Speaking of Wukong, I actually am in the final chapter of the game coz I got the game literally on Christmas Day and I just had to play it. The game was already out during the early half of this year but I waited for the disc version to come out, which was released on the 24th of December. Its humbling I managed to get this far in Wukong coz man, I suck at Souls and souls-like games but I got this far after 5 days. The game is gorgeous and I am hoping they will extend the story through a DLC. Right now, I am trying my best to defeat Erlang coz man, I can’t figure out a good combo still. But, I am getting there. I may try and complete this game before I go back to work on the 6th.

Thoughts about the incoming year? Well, I won’t do any new year’s resolution coz I don’t keep at it. If I would do something, it would probably try to build a good office setup once I get to move rooms here in my place coz right now, I have a limited space to work on everything I want. Temptation is also one bad thing with my current setup coz I have my PS5 attached to the second monitor I also got this year. Once i move to a larger place, I can finally have a more focused setup.

I also would be trying my best to watch out for my health, especially with me on my mid-30s. Travel wise, that will have to wait and see coz with the office plans and renovations I am slated to do next year, it will be tricky. But, if I do get to travel, I would try to go back to Canada and also South Korea and Taiwan. Gotta go somewhere else. I did have this whole spiel of going to Europe on my birthday next year; however, I do have to prioritize things so its not bad on the wallet. Other than that? I’ll let things go as they should.

The blog? Well, I am going to review my old posts here and move it to a backup blog site so I can organize things a little. Don’t worry! I will make the proper announcements once I get the time to do it.

2024 you have been a good one. 2025? Well, let’s see where it will take us! I wish everyone a happy happy new year!!
