Games, mostly.

Big video game accomplishments for me recently:
-Finished Hollow Knight (80% completion, will probably go back to it) This game owns. I honestly think it does metroidvania better than
   most metroid games I have played. It seemlessly gives you options on where to go within it's expansive map, without making you feel
   lost. I don't ever remember feeling forced into going a specific way at any point in the game. On top of that, the map's size
   doesn't hinder the pace of the game much. There are ways to fast travel, and besides that, the rooms in the game are so much fun to
   go through that I hardly noticed transition time. Boss fights were almost all amazing. They hit you with a sudden intensity, and you
   never quite know what to expect. They don't waste time on boss intros either, the fights are just so immediate and satisfying. I
   could go on for a while but those are the main things that really made me love this game.
-Cleared o4s in FFXIV with no time to spare. We were heavily delayed by scheduling issues and stuff so it's awesome to still pull that
   fight off before the next patch comes out tomorrow. I also managed to put together my own crafting gear for the upcoming patch, so
   that was neat too.
-Killed Tiamat in FF1 two weekends ago. It has been a goal of mine to play as many main-line FF games as possible, and thanks to a
  race with Boredeathly and Wawlconut I have the chance to enjoy FF1 in a casual race setting, with some outside knowledge to
  keep me from being overly frustrated and company for the grinds. I'm having a ton of fun with it, and we're going to finish up soon.

Plans for the next while in terms of games:
-Finish AA2. I want to get this done this weekend, but depending on when FF1 happens and what my friends are up to, as well as how much
   work I feel I need to get done for school, it might not happen.I will really try to find a time for it because it's good and I
   want to finish it up.
-Finish Nier: Automata. because that game is pretty fun and I have a graphics card that won't kill itself running the game. Probably
   won't stream it because idk if my comp can handle it.
-Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. Only M&L game I have not beaten, let alone played. Iv heard good things. Don't know if I will
   be streaming this either. I feel very awkward streaming rpgs, theres just too much potential down time, and I'm not good at filling
   that space with any sort of conversation. With games like Ace Attorney, I can explain my thinking or guess about what is going to
   happen. Not sure how to do that with what rpgs offer. We'll see though.
-SMB2 (US): Uhh I think I'm doing the 12 hour challenge with my good friend Wawlconut. If he still wants to this is the game we chose.
  The plan is warpless, and to not do 12 hours straight but a few each day of the weekend. We both agreed 12 hours straight would not
  end well. Oh this is another reason AA2 might not get done I guess.

Quick school update: Im in 4 classes this semester, and only 1 has a lab attached. It is a very odd change of pace for me, as im used to 3 or so labs. Im liking it a lot, but at the same time I learned more in labs than in lecture, so we'll see... what is supposed to be the hardest undergrad class for Comp E this semester, getting less than 50% on either of the tests is an automatic fail, so anxiety exists. Im handling it alright though, friends own + games own for that.

Thats a lot of stuff. I really enjoy writing down my thoughts, so Iv ended up rambling in all of these Iv done. Oh well, cya next time
