SGDQ's in a couple days and I'm always nervous when it starts, mostly because of checking into the hotel because I feel like it's the most likely place for something to go wrong. It should be fine though? Idk I'm dumb when it comes to this stuff. I plan to have a lot of fun during the event, hang out, play arcade games, drive some people around as needed, watch a few runs and relax. I might have to go home for a couple hours here and there if my cat is being particularly despondent though because he is very old and clingy with me but that's not really a big concern when it's a 20 minute drive. We'll have a good time. It's the first full week I've had off work for a GDQ since 2014 so that's really really nice. And with 4th of July week right after that I should only have to work 3 days the week after.

Upcoming games after SGDQ are looking pretty fun. Shining Resonance Refrain is a nice generic RPG, Octopath is one of my most anticipated games of the year, 428 and Yakuza Kiwami 2 will be great, and then we hit the insanity of Fall with heavy hitters everywhere. Dragon Quest XI, Spiderman, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, SNK Heroines, Xenoblade 2 prequel game, Spyro HD, Code Vein, Forza Horizon 4, Mega Man 11, Fist of the North Star, Super Mario Party, Battlefield V, Soul Calibur 6, Red Dead Redemption 2, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Metal Max Xeno, Pokemon Eevee, Smash Ultimate, HOPEFULLY Ace Combat 7, TALES OF VESPERIA, TWEWY REMIX, it's just game after game after game. I've got three weeks off in January and I'm already looking forward to all the catching up I'll get to do.

Vampyr's had me in a bit of a weird mood lately so here's part of the OST: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyXxwPGp-zQ
