I liked the dragon backcover.

OT- You know how people use real money for ingame item, yeah I'm one of them.

Ok just to be clear, I am NOT reckless with my spending! Most of the time I resist buying the new items but hours ago I give into my temptations.

The newest patchs in Guild Wars 2 had new weapons set skins which are NICE! They also give everyone a free share inventory bag which is a huge time saver on my end!

I took a gamble and spend 8.50 pounds on 400 gems which is enough for me to buy another share inventory (I needed 1 more to make my time saver complete). Throw in some of my ingame golds to spend the rest on a key which may give me a ticket to spend the new skin. Ok I end up getting a ticket scrap (need 10 to make a ticket which is stupid btw) but it's better than nothing.

I bought Melty Blood on Steam yesterday because fuckin' ArcSys released another game on Steam and their games are amazing. That's literally the only reason I bought the game. I heard it was apparently god tier among certain fighting game circles too.

I know since it's a game that has been out forever it's unlikely i'm ever gonna be able to learn it before all the guys who have been playing it since it launched come to Steam and just take over the servers but hey. Arcueid is noob friendly and is still Based Girl with a decent BM game too. She wins against someone and she tells them to "reincarnate into something good." That's next level git gud BM.

The game has like a billion mechanics too, all the Moons go right over my head so I just pick Crescent Moon because I think it allows for maximum Magic Circuit spam? Fuck if I know, then there's the Heat, Max and Blood Heat stuff which i'm not even gonna try to explain in detail. Spam supers in Max, maybe drop the Heat if you're low HP(?) and try dropping your Arc Drive before Max runs out for ridiculous damage. Works well with Arcueid because her Arc Drive is super good to just throw out randomly.

Then there's the parry thing which I don't even know. Might as well just unbind the D key because fucked if i'm gonna manage to pull that off.

I own an anime store and sell a bunch of merchandise like key-chains, badges, plushies and figures. So my answer is my own stock.

The amount of times I've gone to put something on a shelf and wanted one for my self, even though I'd never actually do anything with it.

Before Christmas I had a Satsuki Kiryuin figure on my shelves. I told myself that if it didn't sell before Christmas I'd have it for myself. Someone bought it as a present and so when I restocked in January, I had to get another one in for me...

Luckily I've only given in to temptation like that once.

This cute little thing:



I don't even care it doesn't do anything useful, I don't even care I'm not even the biggest Star Wars fan, I don't even care I don't have the room to let this thing roam around in this stupid little student flat and I don't even care it costs $150.

I still want it.

From my experience you have a lot of disciple compared to other people in your situation. Everytime I speak to someone who works in a store filled with whatever interests them, they tell me they have a massive collection at home. Of course, they were fans before they started working there, but seeing neat stuff all day, knowing exactly what's available, and maybe getting a nice employee discount on top of it, does not help keep spendings in check.
