of RP, gaming, and philosophy
Augh I know I need to check my RP really bad but I don't even want to right now. Sorry to those who are waiting on tags. I know I've been on hiatus like a week longer than I said I'd be but I just.... am feeling lazy and unmotivated to tag, idk :(
Actually I've barely been online at all this week. In the meantime I found a really cheap used copy of Persona 3 at a game store, and I've always wanted to get into Megaten so I couldn't resist. (I played some of Aeon Genesis's fan trans of the original Shin Megami Tensei back in the day, but other than that, lol.) And anyway, it totally sucked me in. I love the characters, the mood and atmosphere of it, the story/gameplay is great, even the English acting is... at least tolerable (some people moreso than others, lol... I think Junpei and Akihiko's parts are very well-acted though. Junpei's is the best actor in the game IMHO). It had been a really long time since I just sat down and marathon-played a console game and it was really nice, somehow. This sounds a little silly, but some of the best memories I have of high school and college are marathoning through RPGs with friends and family. Would you believe I played all of Xenogears the first time with my dad, lol?
RPing's kind of been feeling like a full time job for me lately, in that I felt like I needed to make myself available all the time. Sometimes I'd rush back to the computer as quickly as possible because I was looking forward to threading with someone, but a lot of the time I've been running back just because other people were going to expect me to be there, even if it wasn't particularly something I felt like doing at that moment. I think it's been good to take some time off and get some perspective on that. Honestly, I didn't realize how much I'd missed something as simple as sitting down and marathon-playing a game until I actually got away from the Internet and just went and did it. I think I'm going to try to adjust my RPing schedule so it starts feeling more like the hobby it's meant to be... there's so many other things I enjoy doing, and I want to get back to doing them, rather than feeling tied-down to constantly checking a game.
Incidentally, at the same time as I was buying Persona, my mom happened to be with me in the game store and we purchased Animal Crossing: City Folk together. It's kind of hilarious to me how much my parents have gotten into this game in the last week or so. Every spare moment when they've been home has been spent fishing, catching bugs, or otherwise running around making mischief. XD; Anyone want to trade friend codes? I don't have mine handy right now but I'll look it up.
