Okay, okay, this will be my last post for the day! I just wanted to quickly talk about this new game that just came out yesterday in case I'm the only one that knows about it right now.

It's called Spirit City: Lofi Sessions, and it's a game about productivity. You get to create an avatar and dress them up. Similarly, you get to decorate the room your character resides in for the productivity sessions. There's a lot of choices for décor, including different colors. I made my room mostly pink because I eat that shit up. :3 You also get to find and vibe with cute, little spirits! Half the fun of the game/application is discovering the right combination to find them. It requires simple things like what activity your avatar is doing, where, the time of day in the room, and the sounds you're listening to (like a thunderstorm, the forest, a fireplace, etc).

This doesn't even touch on the journal that's a part of the program. It also utilizies pomodoro timer to help you be productive, while taking necessary breaks so you don't overwork yourself and burn out. You can set up little habits and a to-do list! There's also some smooth Lofi music playing, though you have the ability to pause or mute that should you want to.

It's been a lot of fun to play the game, and be productive at the same time. I just thought maybe other people would find it helpful like I did! It's about $10 right now (it's on sale), so it's not an absurdly expensive game or anything like that.

If you get it, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, that's fine too! I just wanted to make people aware of it. :D

WeMod Cheat Engine:

Did you know that Epic Games has the Kingdom Hearts series? I think I'm going to buy it next month after I get paid. Not because I don't already have them, but because this presents me with an opportunity to actually play and beat all the games. What I'm getting at is a cheat engine called WeMod. It's a program you can use for a monthly subscription (it's cheapish, and worth it if it means I'm actually able to play games) that allows you to have unlimited health in many games. It has more features than that, but they're mostly specific to each game you choose. I mostly use it for the unlimited health.

I know people frown and look down on others for cheating, but I don't know why, so long as it's not affecting anyone else. If I'm playing a single-player game and cheating, I'm the only one benefitting. I didn't grow up playing games, so they don't come to me intuitively. I'm bad at them. I've always been bad at them. There's nothing more frustrating than buying a game and not being able to play it and wasting your money because you suck at it. I hate that! So I use WeMod, something I discovered recently, and it's amazing. Suddenly, it feels like I have all the games in the world before me available to play. The only issue with WeMod is that it sometimes makes the games I play a little glitchy. That's annoying as shit, but it's still worth it if it means I can play the game.

Kingdom Hearts:

I love this series! It's extremely nostalgic to me, since I remember playing it a few times as a teenager (and giving up because it was too difficult, haha). I've watched the "game movies" of the entire series before, but I don't retain it very well. I think if I played each game individually, I would remember what happened in it better. So I'm thrilled at the idea of playing through it, and actually being able to follow through and beat the games. That's so exciting! Especially since I always get near the end of KH1, but I'm never able to finish it due to one part I can never beat. Kingdom Hearts is one of my all-time favorite game series. It's a little convoluted, but it's always so much fun, and I love seeing all the characters from other Final Fantasy games! 

Mass Effect:

I was playing Mass Effect 2 recently, and it was a lot of fun. I beat the game a few days ago and booted up the 3rd one. I got through it so much quicker with WeMod helping. I usually get super stressed and agonize over each battle. There are even some DLC that I can't play all the way through because it's too hard that I got to see! It's super cool to have all the knowledge of the game behind me, and to move forward with that. The only annoying thing is that, in ME2, the audio occasionally cut out and I had to reload to get it to work again. It was rare, though, nothing like having to redo the Squad Points for every mission in ME3. That's seriously annoying, so I think I'm just going to do the ones I intend to use the most instead of all of them. It just takes too long otherwise. I can't tell if these are WeMod glitches or if they're a result of something going on with the game, though. I'm almost certain that I have no mods installed for Mass Effect, but the game kept freezing up and acting like I did (before I even turned on WeMod), so I can't be sure that something I did before didn't mess with it.

Persona 3 Reloaded:

I've been learning a lot lately about what the new Persona 3 remake is going to entail, and I'm super hype for it, if disappointed at the same time. Apparently there aren't going to be social links for the boys? Only the girls? That's stupid, even if they plan on showing their storylines in another way. They have the perfect opportunity to modernize the games, and they're only partially doing it. I also heard that they're getting rid of FeMC for it, which is also a bad move, in my opinion. I don't know why they can't just give you the option to be a boy or a girl when you start the game since they already have storylines and art for all of that. I highly doubt that they'll allow gay characters either, at least with the intention to let you have a queer relationship and not mock it. It's really a shame, because they create such great ship potential in their games. I bought the port for Persona 3 on Steam, but I'm glad I never played it (unlike Persona 4 Golden) because I'd rather wait for the remake. The original sounds tedious and frustrating. I'll probably still buy Persona 3 Reloaded regardless, though, because I want to experience the story. I've heard that it's arguably the best one in the series.

Dragon Age:

I've been playing a lot of Dragon Age again for the last few days. It's been a good way to keep myself preoccupied. It's Inquisition specifically that I've been playing. I started from the beginning again on my Xbox, and it's been going fine. I've been making an effort to actually do all the astrariums and oculariums, which I normally ignore as too much work/effort. I know, I know. I shouldn't do that, but video games are supposed to be fun and if it's stressing me out, what's the point? I generally try to play games in whatever way I can most enjoy them. I'm doing them this time because I want to finally complete all the DLC, and it requires sooo much power in order to do that. It's a real pain! 

I've been mindlessly playing for the last few days while listening to someone play Mass Effect for the first time, and it's put me into a Mass Effect mood.

Mass Effect

Today, I decided to take a break from Dragon Age: Inquisition to play some Mass Effect. That was an unmitigated disaster.

I don't know why, but I have such a hard time playing games on my PC. They either don't work properly (even though my laptop is an expensive gaming laptop) or I lose my save data. I lost all my save data on Dragon Age a few months ago and, today, Mass Effect keeps crashing on startup and I don't know why. I've played it for 95+ hours already, I know my computer can run it. I downloaded it yesterday (it's 110GB!), and no matter what I do, it won't start up the 2nd game. It only loaded up once when I removed the save file, but when I removed it a second time, it still didn't load. I'm going to try the other games too (after it stops verifying files) to see if it's just ME2 or what. Either way, it's extremely frustrating.

I'll edit this after I've tested out a few more things to stay updated.

EDIT: Okay, I just had a successful run! If I let it sit through all the "Not Responding" screens and don't agitate it, it does eventually load the game. Which is good! Only, it shouldn't be doing any of that shit to begin with (it never used to), and I don't know how to fix that.
