what is this ball of fire in the sky that gives off heat?
It got warm. It got warm! It's been consistently in the 50s for days! I could almost start to believe that maybe winter hell will not be here forever, although I have lived in Chicago too long to believe it's really spring. It's supposed to be somewhat chilly again this week (down to mid-40s), although it pretends it's climbing back up after that, if the forecasts are to be believed.
I beat Titan EX in Final Fantasy XIV, which I'm super proud of even if I didn't have very much to do with it (I lucked into a very good group who were farming for light, but at least I survived until about 50% on the last run in which he was beaten, so that was pretty great.) I've just gotten to Snowcloak in the plot, so I should solidly have completed that long before it's time for the expansion. I've been really enjoying my free company and just kind of tooling around doing random stuff, and I completed my first beast tribe faction (Kobolds), so basically I've had a very productive few weeks in game. Which has resulted in me not doing much elsewise.
In other video game news, I'm progressing through Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, having just cleared Atlantica. If I were not more interested in playing FFXIV, I would probably have it beaten before I pick up Final Fantasy Type-0 HD on Tuesday, but that's all right.
I also finally started Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth with the P3 cast, and I'm completely delighted with the entire thing, though they're leaning a little hard on Akihiko's protein thing. Mitsuru is flawless perfection, though, as ever, and I'm really happy about it. I'm on the third floor of You in Wonderland, and it keeps terrifying me because it has signs like "Let's Alice!" and as an SMT veteran, that is ludicrously not okay oh my God nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.
On the plus side, DCP is in a glorious six-week break (six weeks is also the span of time during which the last four games happened, good holy fucking God but that's exhausting) so maybe I can breathe for a while and herd my mental cats back into some semblance of order.
In large part the reason I've been so buried in video games is because first it was so hideously cold I didn't want to go outside, but mostly because February and into early March is always the time at which my brain becomes a horrible self-sabotaging hell-beast. I ended up literally sitting on the couch crying a couple weeks ago because I just aggressively could not even with this, and last week being the time change, I was basically not sleeping because lol what is adapting to shifts in circadian rhythms, which had some obvious repercussions in brainweasels eating my head constantly with epic anxiety. I don't think I handled it very well. I mean, I kept doing all the things I was required to do like going to work and being places I was supposed to be when I was supposed to be there, but it was kind of distressingly like my brain before I had meds, which paladin confirmed last night when I was having a neurotic fit that literally everyone hates me and is only pretending to be civil to my face. This is not logical. This is reasonable only by anxiety brain logic. It is nonetheless something that my brain really likes to do to me. :|
