She does stuff that makes her happy.
Sometimes also does stupid stuff that makes her not.
Oops.
Legacy of Kain. Any of them. Although I don't know how one would manage with the loss of some of those amazing voices. It would be neat, but certainly a different beast.

Kiki. She's the one villager I remember from the original Animal Crossing way back, and I just about cried when I saw she was the first new villager to want to move into my island after the initial set.

All I need to do is recall the Primordia theme and I'm crying and throwing my arm up in the air. Legendary game.

Going to use this project to get back on with doing things that fulfill my creative needs, while not holding too tight to things that blunder my sense of worth.

Take for example my media logging project and five album thing last year. Besides that little oh hospitalization that halted it, it was already fraying at the edges because it couldn't compete with the realities of my health and other needs. I held it too tight.

The biggest lesson I can share (and remind myself of) with this type of project is not to hold it too tight. To not try to make dates perfect, to not try and log everything I want to log. To not drown myself in organization. I've seen the previous years end so rapidly under that pressure.

It's like hauling out a beloved blanket that's gotten muddy. It's gross and wet and heavy, and I'm annoyed with carrying it. But once I have it handled it'll warm, comforting, and familiar plus I'll feel more at peace with less of a burden sitting in my head.

Yeah, it was a good time to pop out. It'll always be there if one ever wants to revisit. But there's so much more to do out there besides having a forever game.

It's just calling you back to Eorzea.

Or at least a reminder to collect that free fantasia before the patch hits... Did I get that freebie? Shoot, now I need to log back in and check...
