I've beaten Final Fantasy 3, and gotten to the point in Metaphor ReFantazio where I'm going after Heismay. I'd say that I've had a pretty good run in my games today.

I beat the game at level 51. Is that properly leveled?

@hazeweasel.bsky.social I feel like it's a warning sign when the game starts dumping Phoenix Downs and Elixirs on the player.

I bit the bullet and used Quick Saves once I entered the World of Darkness, because there's no way in Hell that I'm going through the entire fight against Xande again.

"Why are you always begging for money"

Because I'm so close to finally getting out of this hellhole and keep having every path forward shut on me. I practically need a patron in order to afford anything without destroying my retirement fund.

Dude I stg if I wasn't $18k in debt I'd just leave this country.

My debt started at $40k, though, so I'm getting it paid off.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Via the quicksave and autosave functions. Though, I've avoided using any quicksaves or autosave files.

bumping up videogame prices to 70$ has been very helpful in stopping me from spending a lot of money on videogames

HUGE NEWS Scientists reverse Alzheimer’s symptoms using nanoparticles that clear brain plaque & restore memory

In a massive breakthrough, researchers from Spain & China developed nanoparticles that remove toxic Alzheimer’s plaques from the brain AND repair the brain’s natural defense system.

Scientists achieve "striking reversal of Alzheimer’s" in mice

“Our results point to a new path: fix the barrier that keeps the brain healthy," researcher Giuseppe Battaglia told Newsweek.

Funnily, I'm actually at that point in the pixel remaster. I haven't actually gone inside yet, though, since I'm going to restock on items before going in.

For people curious why I'm not working on Feed Your Own Piñata Kit, that's because FYOPK is something small that I intend to release while working on Abyssal Grail. Both will also share a lot of assets, especially environment and character sprites.

I was talking with my boyfriend about my plan for Abyssal Grail where your healing items are water/food you find while foraging, and I brought up how I implemented raw water as a meme about an old health fad.

Though, after telling him about it, I don't think anyone remembers this. (not my image)

Oh yeah, Metaphor ReFantazio is on sale for under $40. I think that I'll get it if I get paid well tomorrow.

Since Shikata is one of my dedicated pregnancy fetish characters, and there was an anti-abortion protest in town on Sunday, I figured that I'd make it clear that I support women having access to abortions. Even if it's not a life-saving procedure.

While its been a while since I've last used Shikata, I generally make sure to keep the deer people in her canon more accurate to how digitigrade deer would look.

This canon is separate from Plaine Star because all of the people in Shikata's canon are anthro deer, no exceptions.
