Silent Hill f is incredible.

I probably shouldn't have started a new game when I'm in the middle of things, but the allure of a 1960s rural Japan was too great to ignore given all the research and traveling I've done in the last year on the subject.

Time for adventure today. I have 4 or 5 places marked on the map, plus a trip to Costco. Let’s see where the day goes.

I decided to take the day off and run through the new Animal Crossing update. It was fun seeing all villagers complain that they haven’t seen me for 4 years.

After playing all day, I got my Super Nintendo, but I totally forgot how every action take so long, and how slow everything is. :/

In summer, I visited a old school in Toga Valley. The door was open, so I went inside and took photos. It was condemned three weeks later and torn down over summer.

My goal for this weekend is to complete my post series on the old schools of Toga Valley, which I have been (more or less) working on since June. (main post is currently at 3220 words)

Also, my goal is to retain my Top 100 placement in Fzero 99's leaderboard until Monday when it resets.
