    Tfw you left your badge in the pocket of your flannel shirt and only realize when you’re on the metro .-.

    (I HOPE it’s there, if I lost it it’s a 30€ replacement fee ; ; I’m usually so good about not losing stuff...)

    Badge was indeed exactly where I'd thought it was. :') It is now safely tucked back into one of the zip pockets of my coat, which is usually where I stash it when I leave for the day but last Friday I was in a hurry to catch the the train and didn't want to waste precious seconds transferring it, I guess.

    Now I've been sitting here feeling too guilty about not being ~*~PRODUCTIVE~*~ enough to play video games. Why. Why do I feel this way. I went to workshop, I tried to recharge my transit pass, I vacuumed, I made dinner... why the guilt, brain. What do I have to feel guilty about, here.

    Good: brand new citrusy orange hoodie that's super soft and fits rather than being 1-3 sizes too big like my two old ones

    Bad: tops that fit means that other people can see the chest lumps..............

    idk how much it looks like Those Are Definitely Tits On A Female and how much is dysphoria screaming at me that that's totally what I look like, regardless of what everyone else actually sees, but man. Binders hurt too much so there's only so much I can realistically do.

    I prefer zip hoodies but the benefit of a pullover one is I get to feel like a marsupial goblin. I can keep my stuff in a front pocket instead of having to rummage around in overfull trouser pockets!

    Kinda ruins the lines of my look but it’s A+ for accessibility

    i mean I can keep my stuff in zip hoodie pockets too but it doesn’t have the same cozy marsupial feel to it

    ALMOST finished with part 1 of the Java course. Got the assignment done, it passed the tests on the computer, I submit it to the test server just as it’s getting time to leave...

    Three minutes later: Hidden test failed! It took 10ms instead of 5ms.

    Me: What.

    CODING. I’ll have to fix it next week.

    Me, an hour ago: I'm going to play a FF game with English voices for once!

    *grins and bears it right up until the point Vaan starts talking*

    NOPE

    I keep going HEY I RECOGNIZE THAT PLACE/MUSIC because the current set of 24 man raids in FFXIV is set in Ivalice, and that has me pretty pumped.

    (Also: Basch, you stupid asshole...)

    Vaan's a cute kid. I like how he's a fiesty youngster and a little prone to hotheadedness but not actually an idiot or totally childish. His JP voice matches him really well.

    The game is really, really pretty - it's obviously older but it holds up really well and is pleasant to look at. I was getting sim sickness, which I thought was partly to do how fussy the camera gets if you go into a corner or any narrow place, but after some thinking I went into graphics options and... turned depth of field off. Sure enough, I started feeling a lot better once everything more than two feet away from Vaan wasn't incredibly fucking blurry. :T Amazingly, the game looks a lot better, too! :')

    Not entirely sure how I feel about the controls, but it's an interesting system.

    Rabanastre kind of reminds me of whatever that desert city in Xenogears was, for some reason. I haven't played that game in a LONG goddamn time so I don't know why, but whatever. It's a nice nostalgic feeling, and I'm always happy when a game has a good desert city. I really like deserts...

    Hey: Vayne is creepy!

    I passed his speech some time ago but an NPC in Lowtown just mentioned him and it brought back how unsettled he made me. I'm not sure if I just wasn't following or if his speech was kind of incoherent? And the whole thing felt extremely performancey - not merely in a politician sort of way, but in a "I'm the star of a grand story and am giving a performance to my favorite audience - me!" sort of way.

    it was 'only' 25mil for me :') I regret not giving in to temptation sooner, at one point it was all the way down to 15mil and that's when I started going "... what if I bought it..."

    I just got a package @chthonicfatigue and holy shit he spoiled me -- and my cats, who now have brand new sushi themed catnip toys. I'm so happy ; ;
