I use a LINE chat with the official LINE account to keep lots of notes for myself, even though there is an official Line Keep feature that is literally for this
my top note just says "sticker". I hope I learn what I meant by this some day
(the other notes from yesterday include "houseki", because I saw an ad for it in a bookstore and remembered I wanted to watch it, and "dmm tv ef dvd", because an ad for DMM TV on the escalators up to the Yamanote Line in Akihabara features the tagline "find your fave, change your world" (推しが見つかる。世界が変わる) under some actors posing with random anime DVDs, including bakemonogatari and a copy of ef. hello proto how's it going)
as the above hints, I was in akiba yesterday evening to do some window shopping, though I spent the train ride there and back mostly brainstorming gameplay concepts for my current project. I'm hoping to have a "does this gameplay loop feel right" prototype this year (if I said this yesterday, good). I'm also proud that I looked at my existing OC Name Pool long enough to declare "ok, you're a last name now" for some of them, allowing me to mush together enough names to create a full cast.
went down for a nap for my second day in a row, this time for 90 minutes. it didn't really extend my day by 90 minutes since I went to sleep at the same time. 90 is a bit too much nap for my tastes tbh.
at 7 of 8 games complete in gardens of vextro, as I've been tracking the last few days. it's probably like 2 or 3 hours of reading-focused gameplay and probably a lot of yall have that much time to spare this holiday season tbh.
one thing that I've really realized playing gardens is like, these are the kinds of games that really let you meet the author through their work. not only do they make you kind of consider your own connection to your body, your experiences, and how much you displace the world, but you also get to understand the influences and passions that each author has. and that's really cool
(what I'm saying is that I'm really trying to remember which light novel I read that had spell invocations where you specify targets and strength like you're passing parameters to a function. my brain keeps saying The Executioner and Her Way of Life, which is a good answer but definitely not a correct one)
