Still making good progress with Octopath 0. Managed to get the ship without paying a leaf, and since I can't advance the Wishvale arc without advancing the main story, that's what I'm doing next! That, and levelling up my team, doing side quests, and generally having fun exploring. 🥰

I think I’ll probably be a bit quiet this weekend. It’s been a heck of a week, and I need to take stock a bit. Take some time to myself and work some things out…

I feel like I’m dancing close to burnout on so many things. Best to not let that get out of hand.

I am having so much fun with Octopath Traveler 0. It's everything I wanted it to be.🥰

I always said that if the devs could give me an Octopath game with elements of Suikoden (HQ system, cooking, collecting, etc) I'd be a happy Em, but that they did it with CotC, too?

I'm over the moon with it.💜

Maybe it's making things worse, but at least it's trying.

Celebrating today's launch of Octopath Traveler 0 with this excellent artwork, which is also the cover art for the latest Famitsu!⁣

Thank you to the game's main illustrator Naoki Ikushima for creating this art, and game artist Rina Yoshiura for coloring it!

Right, then. I'm tired and I'm heading to bed! It's a busy day tomorrow, and I've not been feeling too spry lately. Fingers crossed I'll be better after some sleep.

Night all.

I've felt kind of odd all day. A little lonely, a little down, a little left behind, a little of this, a little of that... I thought it was perimenopausal nonsense yesterday, and it still probably is, but I think there's an aspect of seasonal affective disorder as well.

Octopath Traveler 0 is a hefty RPG length-wise and I'm still working my way through it—so my review will be up when it's ready! Until then: I think this the best Octopath yet and that a reworked mobile version shouldn't scare off anyone who hasn't played Champions of the Continent.

That feeling when you get a kudos... I was in such a bad/depressed mood last night but getting up and finding that someone's left a kudos on a fic of mine...

I'm so glad you liked it enough to leave a kudos... Thank you! You just put a big smile on this old nerd's face.

Oof, I don't know what's wrong with me. I had so much energy earlier, felt so free and happy, and now I'm just flat as a pancake and a little bit down.

It's probably something perimenopausal, but I really wish it wouldn't do that...

I just realised - it's getting to the point where I'll be tallying all my AO3 stats for the year again. I've written so much...

I kind of feel guilty for not writing right now, but I need the rest. Should be getting back to writing CotC fic in the new year.🙂

This weather is drying my skin out something fierce. I might need to dig out the heavy duty moisturizer... 😅
