Replayed Splatoon 2's story mode. Oof, what an absolute slog of a game, and with the online dead, I see very little reason to play it nowadays. Starting and playing Splatoon 3 for the first time, on the other hand, is like night and day difference.

It's wild to me that the chapter I just finished writing for CrossActs tells a story I had started writing in Last Tail before I gave up on that project. That story being how Laik-then-Advrik came into possession of his signature weapon, 'The Canine'.

I really love writing, even if I can't always get myself to actually sit down to do it. When I do, I am reminded of why I love it so much: These characters, this world, the stuff that happens. It's mine to do as I please, tell the sort of stories I want to tell. Even if no one else reads it.

The (great!) summer of unemployment has finally come to an end, as I begin my new (old) job again at my previous place of work tomorrow afternoon. It's not going to be nearly as strenuous or demanding as my last job (I'm not management!), but neither will the pay be as good. But it's weekly pay!

Development! So upper management was not happy with my decision, and gave me some BS about red tape and that I am going to have to continue working the position until the job is posted and filled. So I activated my trap card: My two weeks notice.

Not sold on Fire Emblem in the slightest, not at $80. Gameplay content not withstanding, the presentation (which is something I never factor into purchases) does not reflect the asking price. First major Switch 2 release that I'll be skipping.

I should have known better based on the key art for the game, but learning that Starsand Island uses GenAI in its development effectively killed any interest I had in the game. Shame.

Like seriously, I have a really cool idea that I want to write for September/October that I can't even begin on until I finish act 3 of the current story I'm writing! It involves giant werewolf ladies from Scotland and little video game-like animal people throwing paws out in Michigan!

I gotta get myself back to writing again, man. Feels like I haven't put anything into written form this past month due to getting caught up in the job hunt.

Another step I am taking towards de- #SonicOC 'ing my characters while still keeping the vibe is eliminating firmly established height measurements for all of them. Going forward, they'll simply be given general labels such as "average", "tall", "short", etc.
