Blossom went to have afternoon tea with old work friends today.
She got home just before midnight because it inevitably turned into girl's night and she was the designated driver.

Blossom asked me what the plot of Cat's Eye was since I was watching the remake
I explained that it was about a trio of sisters stealing art from a crime syndicate of art thieves that stole their Dad's works to try profit from them and she was like "This was from the 80s, wasn't it?"
Yes it was

Every time I get reminded about AI cosplays I just scream "What is the fucking point?"
Your costume literally doesn't exist, you can't wear it to a con and interact with other fans while wearing it, there is no cos or play involved. You have literally sucked all the fun out of a hobby for clout.

I just started the 2nd Great Ace Attorney Chronicles game and I know it's cause they're probably reusing the animations for the player model, but I think it's really cute that Susato is copying Ryunosuke's mannerisms in court.

So I showed Blossom a trailer for Road to Empress since she was interested in a full FMV game after watching someone play Five Hearts Under One Roof
She has since purchased the game and played it for 6 hours straight today and every time I look at her she's glaring at her laptop with intent.

So I binged and caught up with the Gnosia anime yesterday just in time for the 2nd half.
So glad I opted to finish the game first because the 1st half covered a lot of the events I didn't unlock until I was near the end game.
Excellent adaptation so far. Highly recommend even if you haven't played

It's my New Year's Resolution to try get through my video game backlog and play more games.
Finished my first game of the year: Gnosia
Was not expecting the gameplay loop to be as short as it was, but got hooked to the pieces of the puzzles connecting.
Now I can go watch how the anime does it.

So I watched some of the Hana Kimi drama back in the days I ran an anime club but never actually finished it but since it got an anime airing this season I decided to go back and rewatch the drama.
I forgot how anime 2000s dramas based on manga were.

After years of owning the game, we finally played Pandemic and after winning our first game relatively easily by virtue of having a Medic in our intro game eradicate diseases quickly, we proceeded to lose pretty badly during our standard difficulty game.

Played a couple of games of Sushi Go! today.
Really quick and easy game to pick up. Would love to play a game with the maximum 5 players to see how chaotic the plays can get.

After continously failing Duolliste, I decided to use OG Simon as a training exercise.
I still haven't been able to parry him, but I managed to get to 3rd phase using my default setup. Honestly, I'll take that.

Kainé arrived today, so I have now rearranged my NieR shelf so that it's more evenly spread out since they were encroaching on the MonHun figures.

I was going through the list of Onsen Musume and realised that Beppu had one and I did not see her.
Probably because asides from the ryokan and the 7 Hells, I didn't actually go anywhere that would have promoted her.
Unless I missed her at the Info Center at the train station?
