It’s been a spell since I’ve been able to sit down and write some things. Overall it’s been good, but just chaotically busy across the spectrum. RL has, and probably will be for the foreseeable future, incredibly busy. Been also trying to see family more frequently like it used to be, and that has been really nice.
We’ll go into Final Fantasy XIV in a moment, but for elsewhere: nearing the end of Sea of Stars – its just tying up loose ends and items at this point before taking on the final dungeon. It’s been an incredible game/story the entire way, so I am wanting to see it through till the end still. Cannot recommend it enough. Horizon Zero Dawn is mostly progressing main story now, albeit 30+ levels higher than it is so it’s been a rather comical progress now. Haven’t decided on what to tackle after these two are done, but I know I’ll find something pretty quick in my backlog!
Other parts of RL is the trainscape, which aside from one major setback, has been a nice learning and constructive continuous hobby to resurrect. It’s getting to a ‘self-sustaining’ point now until I decide to start the next phase, and even with it being early in the stages is a really nice little project to watch run as-is. Ideally do need to get to other other projects that have been placed on the backburner for a long spell now eventually, but nothing is on a major deadline like last year’s and that is a nice feeling to have.
I think I’ll discuss more of Final Fantasy XIV in a new ‘Status of Things’ post, but overall it’s been going well. The Valentione’s event was short but absolutely adorable. Being able to recreate an old photo from a few years back with Aikirees when she was a Miqo’te was really fun to do as well. We’re kind of on a breather until Patch 7.2 for the most part now aside from the basic weeklies. I doubt I’ll proceed with posting about the Vana’Diel raid now, or anything else of that longevity as I just don’t have the time to do it like last year for better or for worse.
It shouldn’t impact posts returning to the daily but we’ll see – weekends are probably going to be more impacted for the rest of the year, which is when I usually schedule posts, so it could.
We did finally do the new Hildibrand content, and I’d like to talk a little about it, but best not to go into it. I would like to eventually get posted all of our silly Hildibrand outfit posts from Endwalker and continue that into Dawntrail, but just haven’t had a moment to think about continuing it. Just… I don’t know, there’s something amiss right now but it’s not what anyone is thinking or assuming. Only time will tell I suppose.
Oh, movies and things from the Saturday evenings. The notable couple I watched were ‘Catch Me if You Can,’ and ‘The Black Cauldron.’ Both I highly enjoyed but for very different reasons. Definitely recommend those if y’all haven’t seen them. Not a whole lot on the horizon that perks my ears up just yet, but have been kind of out of the loop on upcoming stuffs, so it can change on a whim really quick.
Probably enough rambling for a Monday Morning. Y’all have an absolutely wonderful one, kick some tail!
