Having just gone through decluttering my apartment to prep for moving, yeah, this is accurate. This place feels bigger and is much more comfortable than it was before cleaning.
I have spent the last 3 hours cleaning my room. I still have a lot left to go but I already feel better.

Your environment can heavily influence your mood-- which I am now realizing fully. Clean up when you can. Don't make it a mountain to tackle. Get help if you need it.

You deserve it.

Mega Man 3 is finished. Yeah, I liked this one. It's more balanced and not difficult for the sake of difficult.

Still, I can't believe it took me this long to actually beat any of the classic Mega Man games. I grew up on the X series and that's where my heart will always lie.
December 14, 2025 at 7:48 AM
Yeah, I think I can say it now that I've finished it: Mega Man 2 is overrated. This game has a lot of just plain bad design choices and is unnecessarily difficult.

Fuck the Quick Man refight. That's quite possibly the worst Mega Man boss I've ever fought. That's saying something after Yellow Devil.
December 13, 2025 at 3:28 AM
God, spent a combined total of less than five minutes in this fucking cold and now I can barely feel my hands. Fuck I hate the winter.

Playing through Mega Man 2 now. I want to kill whoever thought it was a good idea to put ice physics into Flash Man's stage. Utter garbage game design right there.
December 12, 2025 at 11:20 PM
And now the whole game is finished. I will probably never touch Mega Man 1 ever again. This game is rough. Which, in fairness, I expected. They really weren't quite sure of how to make a good Mega Man game yet.
Beat it. This fight sucks.

(for the record, I am aware of the pause trick, but that does not work in The Wily Wars, which is the version that I'm playing)
Actually made it to the Wily stages in Mega Man 1 for the first time. The Yellow Devil is a badly designed piece of shit fight and I never want to play this game ever again entirely because of how utter garbage this fight is.

Asinine design choice on the Switch: You can only remap the controls on the joy-cons and pro controllers. This is annoying for accessibility reasons, obviously, but I also a very niche reason to be annoyed by it: The NSO SNES controller.

Hmm. The Naga X is still available, but it's also $80. I'd rather spring the extra $10 for the Scimitar. Again, why are mice so expensive now?
Wait, does Razer not sell a right-handed wired Naga anymore? The hell? I don't like wireless mice, so that's just one more reason I'm not going to buy another Naga.
Jesus fuck, why is the current Corsair Scimitar $90? God, when did gaming mice get so expensive?

But when I do replace it, I'm probably not going with another Naga. There are other MMO mice that don't give money to Razer and their bullshit. Corsair's MMO mouse is supposed to be pretty solid.

Bleh. My Razer Naga's scroll wheel is starting to have problems. The middle click has pretty much stopped working entirely and now the scroll is starting to snag. This would be far less annoying if I had the money to buy a new mouse since this mouse is pretty old.

LOL. LMAO, even.

How do people like this manage to not know who Tom Morello is?

(side note: WoW's "better housing" is at the cost of it being all instanced. FFXIV's housing has the limits it has for a reason.)
Oh, I agree so much - please, by all means, unsubscribe from FFXIV and never come back, todd. We love trash that takes itself out. Byeeeeee✌️

Huh. Looking at my game clearing spreadsheet, 2022 is the only year that I did not finish at least one Like a Dragon game since I got into the series when Yakuza 0 came out on PC.
December 6, 2025 at 1:05 AM
Alternatively, I could start Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii or Like a Dragon: Ishin!. Or pick up Lost Judgment. I'm still a bit behind on RGG titles.
Well, now that I finished Infinite Wealth, I think I need something a bit smaller to play next. Do I want to continue the Gears of War games or play something else?

Finished Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. This game isn't as good as Like a Dragon 7 and it muddies things a little with Kiryu's presence in the story, especially in the back half. Still really good. And the combat fixed basically every problem I had with Like a Dragon 7.

This City Made Us is currently playing. I'm already very familiar with this song since it's on Rock Band 4, but I can already hear some big changes from the single version.
Listening to the Protomen listening party. I have not listened to any of Act III yet. And, wow, the new version of Hold Back The Night is *very* different than the single. It's so much bigger than the older version.

Getting back to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

All I say about it is this: "I know writers who use subtlety and they're all cowards."

Bleh, have a dying fan on my computer. I have extra fans, but they're at my parents' house prepped for moving. I'll have to grab one next time i go over there.

And with that, Gears of War 3, and the original Gears trilogy by extension, is finished.

And, yeah, like I said after finishing the first game, FPS Boost is a game changer for this series. It *needs* to be played at 60fps. The games feel so sluggish and unresponsive at 30fps.
