Goaling It 2024

This is the first year in a long time I bothered having any goals or "resolutions" specifically. Mostly because they're more like general reminders of things I wanted to do, but were being held back because of my alcohol addiction. Now that I'm sober I can actually work towards doing some of it:

1.Stay Sober (that's pretty important)
2.Read more books
3.Watch at least a FEW more movies than usual
4.Get some actual gamedev done for once
5.Keep losing weight (kind of a double with #1 for obvious reasons)

They may seem a little silly, but I mean, I collect movies and have tons of books I've been meaning to get around to, and not to mention game(s) I SHOULD be actually working on since its important to me personally, but just ignored all of that in favour of slurping down poison every day for the last few years.

I think also the books and movies are kind of important to getting myself running again with the gamedev. It's all like learning how to actually be inspired again, or to break things down and understand them again, or something. Maybe just to enjoy things again.

2024 is basically about just figuring out how to be a real person with goals and experiences again, at least ones that don't revolve around the the next bottle of liquor. It's been hard to figure out but I feel better about it more and more over time, like I'm getting it again in small bursts.

Does the Aetherium show you the way to Laputa, though?

Secret Satan 2023 ::

author=Frogge
Instead of Secret Santa we should have Secret Satan where we give each other EVIL GIFTS

Isn't this already your plan with the Christmas Card

or rather, the lack thereof

RMN's Australian Christmas

Frogge, if by some chance you got me for the Secret Santa, the release this would be literally the best gift ever. No pressure. Hugs.


What a surprise, this is also what I asked Santa for

Hey. So, don't ask for advice or feedback if you're just going to ignore it and argue.

Don't ask people to change important RMN traditions

The white rupee looking gem on the bottom could maybe use another dark shade like the one above it. The outline is a little flat compared to the others.

The Simple Times

I actually had a concept for this one but I absolutely could not figure out how to get it to work as a game, so nuts to that

Best RM series to play all the way through?

Darken
The Way


I'd have to second this if only because it's the only RM series I've played the entirety of. That was ages and ages ago but I remember it being very good.

I should check it out again tbh.

2023 Gaming Diary

Playing the newly released Dragon Quest+ by our very own Ljink and loving every bit of it so far.

Also picked up JJBA: The 7th Stand User. I guess Ljink is getting me around to cracking open some RM stuff finally.

Playing Fallout New Vegas for the billionth time too, but there's nothing to say about that.

Dragon Quest +

I hate to be "that guy" since I'm loving every part of this so far, but a little thing I noticed about some extra content:

It seems a little odd that the ship at Southport and the Mini Medal Castle Island both show up at the same time, and the Captain shows up on the island even when logically he should be in one place or the other depending on the state of things.

SUPER minor, I know, so sorry for being a nitpicker. Just something that irks my sensibilities. Figured I'd give it a shout for consistency's sake, even if you have much bigger problems at the moment.


Now that I got it off my chest, back to enjoying the game!
