i make indie games

unvoiced 2* in a tokyo apartment trying to weld end-of-service anime characters into playstation 1 party games


saturday! I've found that workdays nowadays I will either do work or play video games and ignore useful life tasks, which leaves it to the weekend for me to get all of my stuff in order

(things you can only do weekdays in japan notwithstanding, such as depositing coins in bank ATMs, 100 coins at a time [they won't tell you how many coins you put in])


today was largely apartment cleaning, which is the weirdest form of "I don't want to think about what video game I feel like playing yet". I disposed of a fair amount of old and unused stuff from around my room (ill-fitting masks I don't use, random packing materials, old receipts that I digitized, etc) as well as marking some anime goods for resale and tossing some significantly-expired fridge and pantry food.

maybe it's an artifact of living in a 4-tatami-mat room inside a 45sqm apartment but I am extremely radicalized against owning stuff here. most of my goods are my corkboard of keychains (note to self: get a Miach valentine this year for Granblue) and a thin bookshelf full of PS1 game merchandise (note to self: convince someone to sell the Choro Q Wonderful guide for a reasonable price), and the rest of the goods are the friends I made along the way.

I would love some more clothes in my closet tbh but shopping for clothes is just something that I haven't figured out how to do easily yet beyond just grabbing some fast fashion that's like Just Okay

I had mcdonald's for lunch that I managed to order and eat entirely within the 15 minutes I was waiting to pick up an order from a different place

I wanna eat more yakiniku today

As I was rereading Densha Otoko recently and got to the part where they're like "dude don't dress like a geek, trim your hair and overhaul your drip", I started tangentially diving into Japanese blogs about what otaku can do in order to up their fashion game, and one of the suggestions was the concept of "mannequin buying", which is apparently a bigger thing in Japan than in the US. I am really intrigued by the idea and might give it a shot when I'm over there
