Persona 5. I put in over 150 hours into it in under 3 weeks. Been a long ass time since I had such a long stretch. Amazing game too.

Recently? Black Mirror, The Witcher 3 and a certain girl who reminded me to finally watch that. I'm finished with the show and the game, loved both, but I'm hopefully far from finished with the girl. Hopefully we have a date soon.

My passion for the US presidential election is also going on full steam ahead. Given it's often an angry and confused passion, but it's passion nonetheless. Following it, talking about it online and reading articles about it takes a hefty chunk of mental space recently.

I expected to also be passionate about my new Philosophy Ma classes. But they've sadly been a little underwhelming so far. Not bad but not as engaging as I hoped either.

Go read Dune. It's literally GoT in space. It even has Feudalism.
It has neo-feudal intrigue but it's far from GoT in space. That's both a disservice to GoT and Dune.

That's out already? It may be time for me to finally pay up for a PS4, unless it actually becomes available on Steam, but that would be a first for the Persona series.

Yeah, came out September 15th, though it is the Jp version. I would have waited to support the USA one if it was gonna be dual audio but they said dub only so I didn't and oh boy am I glad for that lol. The game is basically the new standard Jrpgs are gonna be measured by.

Well, this might be it then. If I like what I see on the reviews and LPs, I might be a PS4 owner soon.

To be honest... Not a thing.

I have bags of hobbies and interests, but I'm just in a serious funk of not giving a shit lately. My brain feels like mush and my body feels frail despite performing competitive sporting activities at a decent level several times a week.

Very possibly need to get laid.

I'm getting a surge of creative desire to work on my RPGs again.

Sadly, University saps a lot of time and energy, so any progress is way to slow for my taste.

That and I kinda went to get back to games in my main setting (So many plot threads I can chase and strange worldbuilding to reveal! :D), but I have fans really really clamoring for me to keep working on my bigger game project, which is a different setting altogether.

Photography. I wanted a new hobby after my old job, I have a new job now, thank fuck, and I decided to by a DSLR camera and have some fun with it. I am enjoying it at the moment. Did some interesting night time pics as I wanted to capture London at night. Still a novice, created a Flickr account, Photo bucket for some reason has a lower storage capacity and looking to improve.

Everyone needs a hobby as a pass time away from the hell of work. Maybe I say that because my old work place had and still have people stressed to the fucking max! Their health is getting worse and frustrations are growing. I had to leave due to my motivations getting lower and lower and glad I got this new job. Risking your health for your job is not worth... oh wait. Media. Stupid Para. Actually, no. Health should be valued more and if your job is pushing you over the edge, you need a new job/career.

Other than getting angry over trivial and utter bullshit? Well...

Jojo. Nothing but Jojo. It's been on my mind so much that I decided to try to get back into writing by attempting to write a Jojo fan fiction just to get my creative juices flowing. It worked for a little but, but while my utter love for Jojo remains, I haven't been able to think of how to continue the story since I got to the first hurdle that my OC has had to overcome. But as I type this, I've decided to just write, see where it takes me, and adjust accordingly.

Since I got a PS Vita, I've been playing a lot of Persona 4 Golden to hype myself up for P5 when it comes out in the US on Valentine's Day.

Dragon's Dogma and Bloodborne have caught my attention again. Bloodborne because I've had the game since it released and I haven't even beaten it yet, and Dragon's Dogma because I wanted an easy game to play but something to sink my time in when I'm bored and have nothing to do, which is rarely given my schedule and frequency of classes. Final Fantasy XIV has also caught my eye again thanks to a new patch, which included a bunch of new high level stuff to do, easier ways to get high level loot, and my desire to level up another class to 60, which I have been putting off since I got my WAR to 55.

To me that would be the tablet games particually the gatcha related ones like Final Final Brave Envius and Summoners War.

Ok yes you can called me a whale for throwing in my cash and yes those game have FLAW but it still appeal to me! I guess I see them as Pokemon like as in you been given a group of creature/ characters and you have to make the best of it!

After a years worth of being trapped in the MMO vice, I've finally broken free and gotten back to recording music. I bought a new iMac and audio interface and the new version of Prologic and everything's going fantastically. Creativity levels are at an all time high, though I'm concerned about my ability to maintain the current momentum.

Martial arts.

Been dappling with various disciplines since I was a kid but in the last few years have taken it up seriously.

What style of Martial Arts have you been training with?
Krav Maga, currently.

Was also doing Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for a year or so but sadly the gym where I as doing it went down the crapper. Currently looking for somewhere else I can take it up again.

Vegetation, climate change and plastic beer can loops. Making sure the "final plan" is fool-proof and will succeed despite my physical and mental limitations.

Animals, Dogs in particular. I have found that as I become more and more detached from other human beings, I feel more and more distressed when I see an animal suffering or cold or hungry. I've been working with a foster agency that takes in strays, rehabilitates them and finds them homes.

Sad that I wont be able to do that after I move in a few weeks.
