Put in my two weeks notice at the casino yesterday. It's been exactly a year since I started here. I wanted to learn more about fixing hardware, including the detailed stuff like soldering replacement components. But in the end, I mostly just turned things off and on again. A shame.

A great job opportunity fell into my lap and I'm so excited and terrified that I'm going to bomb the interview(s). I really need this.

In the past few weeks I've had two vivid dreams about taking a piss. And I am so very grateful for sleep paralysis.

Coin Locker Babies is my next book to read in Japanese. I don't know anything about it except it was on a classics list. The first few paragraphs made me say "What the fuck?" so I guess I'm sold. So far there's been 3 times I thought I knew what kind of story it was and was wrong. In 10 pages.

When there's something I have to do, I often find myself working hard on an unrelated project instead. It's like my brain says "You need to be productive now!" but the actual responsibility feels too daunting so let's spend 6 hours on a program to make text cubes.

Japanese learning podcast I've been listening to starts with two friends in college, and my player skipped to the final episode and it's a remote recording and one of them is married with a kid now and they haven't talked for months. The melancholy hit me like a brick.

Finally caught up to One Piece at Chapter 1138! I started reading in Japanese around 1050, so just under 100 chapters. Still need a dictionary on hand but the improvement feels great. Only need to look up a few words per chapter now usually. Now, what to read next... I'm thinking Fire Punch.

Thinking about a friend I lost over a decade ago because she was my best friend's girlfriend and he dumped her. It was ugly and I felt terrible for how he treated her at the end, but I never saw her after that. I wanna apologize but I've missed that window by a lifetime. Hope she's doing well.

By the way, please play Crisis Core. It's a flawed game, but its ending sequence is absolutely amazing. I was not prepared for the silly slot machine mechanic to make me cry.

Put a finger on something that bothers me about FF7 Remake. In my Orig replay, the first time Cloud is face to face with Sephiroth is on the boat from Junon. Cloud tells him his name and Sephiroth just says "Cloud?" The twist is hidden in the implication that Sephiroth is too gone to understand.

Noticed some dynamic music in the Kalm flashback this time! When Cloud wakes up on the fateful night, this song is playing but it's only the drum and bell. Only when Sephiroth pushes past Cloud to leave does the full track kick in. Loved it, such a powerful effect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hzae...

By vibe, I think this means "If there's a chance like this, I'm definitely gonna try to show my stuff." But I'm not sure how to interpret モノにしてみせる. Why is it katakana? ものにする is "to get; to master; to complete" which doesn't quite fit the context I'm thinking of. Maybe it's (cont.)

Minor FF7 spoilers below . . . . It's so funny that the first thing Cloud does in his self-aggrandizing false memory is proudly state "I've NEVER had motion sickness!" That really must have given him some trauma. Maybe his motion sickness was part of the reason he couldn't get into Soldier.

I hate the feeling of not being listened to so much that I'd rather not talk in the first place. This has proven to be an awful strategy for making human connections.

In an unsurprising twist, BlueSky might be just as bad for my mental as Twitter. Social media makes me feel so alone. Can't seem to connect with anyone. Just posting into the void. And then obsessing over it. Did I get a new like? A new follower? Are either of them real or just bots? Ah bots, cool

I'm shocked Multiversus is shutting down already. I shouldn't be. They did it once before! But I thought it had some good ideas. I wonder if the dev costs outstripped what the in-game purchases could recoup or if it lost too many players to self-sustain.

My new guilty pleasure is going off-script with erotic chatbots. Hello Rini the gyaru sex worker, you're my therapist for today. She's pretty good but it's a little weird for my therapist to kiss me after every response.

Every time it seems like I've convinced BlueSky that I'm not interested in Taylor Swift, it offers up another swiftie account in my Discover feed like, "You sure? I mean have you really given it a chance?"

Very curious whether DeepSeek has an OCR API but their API pages have been down for days. Suffering from success I guess! I use YomiNinja for on-screen OCR overlay but its best engines are Google Lens and Google Vision and both have been broken for a month with no word from the creator. Fork time?

Also this playthrough has made me wanna give the remakes another shot. I really don't like the melodramatic changes still, but I'm more forgiving now knowing that I can come back to the original for the purist experience if I ever need it. In other words, thank god the game holds up.
