the <^> game | v. twenty-three

[nyctophilia]

UH HUH
I've been playing for about 4 months. I'm AR 50 (and will be for a while - can't be bothered to ascend lol). I'm a DILUC MAIN 🔥🦅💯, he's so dope. I lean toward the claymore characters and hope Dehya is good. Her design is awesome but I just spent all my primos on Raiden so idk if I can get her. Speaking of Raiden, I grinded so hard for The Catch weapon & her materials just to find out one of her bosses is locked behind a quest and I don't have motivation right now to finish it LOL. I CAN'T USE HER 😭. I really loved the Inazuma storyline and her lore so I'm happy to have her, it'll just be some time until I can main her. I want Itto, what a goober, but that'll take some time as well... I haven't played in over a week and it has taken a toll on my motivation to get on ngl. I'm caught up to the Sumeru questline but it's just overwhelming to start. I hope to get the feeling for it back because I've enjoyed the game a lot so far, it's beautiful. Exploring Sumeru will probably be a lot of fun, it's gorgeous and diverse, and I might build my Nahida along the way but as of now Raiden is my priority.

• i know i know i just posted but KJSDHKFJH i am shamelessly taking the opportunity to talk about genshin bc i can KJDSFKJHDSF
  okay okay SO once i got through the tutorial-y bit where it basically forces you to stay in mondstadt,,, i've been EXPLORING,, like,, trying to get all the statues right right,, and that wound me up in sumeru,, which set me on the golden slumber quests (very good quests btw,,, very happy that those were like,, my first Big:tm: quests bc like <3333 they were very well-written and i love jeht, tirzad, and jebrael a lot also benben too i forgot to mention it but its snazzy as well ^^) and so now i've like,, done more exploring in that region than my friend who is ar fifty-eight and we joked about it a lot,, she even was like :eyes: at my map when we played together,, ALSO i've been collecting scarabs idk if i'll actually get cyno but i want to be prepared if i do,, hes like one who like,, i think looks kinda snazzy but theres definitely other characters who'd id prefer to get before him like,, itto (ultimate genshin character goal atm), yoimiya, and xinyan OHHH also i'm very excited about hu tao banner soon bc hu tao is so cute i love her!!!! if i got her i owuld be happy <333 BUT YEAH i just reached ar twenty,, idk i know almost nothing about the fighting in this game BUT i like looking at the characters sjkfhkhf
  my current team is aether, amber, chongyun, and noelle. i probably use chongyun and noelle the most,, chongyun is my strongest but noelle has a shield that will like,, heal everyone in the team when she uses her normal attack and that's helped me a lot when traversing through areas i'm not technically supposed to be in yet skjdfhksjhf,, idk i really want to get through the first three floors of the abyss atm BC XIANGLING MY BELOVED <33 she's so cute!! i love her and guoba a lot (it helps that my friend has told me some about her before i started playing so in my mind she is like THE Genshin Character:tm: (same with chongyun and xingqiu),,) so i'd love to be able to play as her BUT when i tried i just BARELY made it through the first chamber on the first floor so it'll probably be a bit before i can actually unlock her KJSDFHDF
  let's see, let's see what else??? OH OKAY im like kinda a one hundred percent kind of guy ykyk, like i like to get all the achievements in video games so i'm thinking i might do that with genshin BUT my friend has been telling me not to bc like achievement gets in genshin can be hard KHDFKJHF and like,, i don't doubt it bc i have seen the Effort my friend has put into with the fishing achievement but at the same time,, i think i might try to go for them all anyway, even if it makes me miserable bc one hundred percent makes my brain happy SKJHKJSHF,, but also idk well see well see that's a lot of time to invest so idk
  OH OH OKAY sorry that im talking a lot but there's been a lot and i've sent a lot of it to my friend bc she's talked with me abotu genshin loads and so i was really excited when i was actually able to play but also i'm Very Excited:tm: so what i've sent to my friend hasn't been Enough:tm: KSJHKSJDFHKDF,, BUT ANYWAY, oh shoot oh no i forgot what i was gonna sa- WAIT NO WISHES okay so yes for my first beginner wish,, i pulled chongyun and noelle!!!! and i was very excited bc right he is one of The genshin characters to me and i love him and my friend loves him and we were both like 'AAAAA!!!' /pos,, so i was like 'what are the odds lmao' right right right,,, and yk i did the second beginner wish and got ningguang so i was 'cool the rng gods gave me chongyun first time and that is all' (definitely not very obvious foreshadowing /s /lh) SO when i did my First Standard Wish (the xten pull bc idk ig i've only seen my friend do the xten so i feel like i can't do the xone even tho i very much could) i was like 'omg time for a new character!!!' BUT guess who was the only character i pulled for my First Standard Wish??????????? CHONGYUN MY BELOVED HE WAS THE ONLY ONE and i was like 'damn.' /neg bc like,,, i was Expecting a new character right???? BUT ALSO i was like 'damn.' /pos bc now i got a new one and that unlocked a new ability for him and i just,,, aaa i cannot believe it the rng gods have blessed me with the gift of chongyun and i am so grateful i am so attached to this lad now i cannot begin to express it ksjdhfkdshf
  okay i have rambled too much i am sorry that is all KJSDFHD
  
  ^ omg!! i did not realize you hit eighteen thousand posts congrats <333 // i hope you have a safe flight!!! :eyes:
  i've been alright!! today has been alright,, i've been doing genshin commissions and going through old photos,, and like omg i found this one photo of me before i knew i was trans but i was like DAMN i look masc!! and i think it's like my favorite photo of myself,, i don't usually like pictures of me but i saw that and i was like 'why is egg me giving me gender envy rn??!?!??!?' but yeah sdjhfkdfh idk that was really cool i wish i could show it here just so you all could see BUT ALSO ewww no i dont i dont want anyone here to know what i look like
  
  ^ NOOOO CS USER NYCTOPHILIA HOW COULD YOU /j /lh (jk i am always happy to see you !!!) i suppose it is my fault for not marking kdksjdhfk,,, i will answer your question as well when you finish writing dsjjfh ^^ having a Great Day. aaa i'm really glad to hear that!!! i hope you and your mom have a nice time <333

> someone bought me an etch a sketch and I have so much respect for people who are good at using these damn
v hi hello what did you last eat and how would you rate it

[vi‎ ‎]

^ dude that sounds so fun... may u master the art of the etch a sketch
> gotta do work but i just wanna read... i read a whole 400+ page book already this year i feel so motivated LMAO
v hi! what's a book you like and why?

[Chevalier]

Harvest by Jim Crace, it's a really interesting novel. The atmosphere is really neat - it's about a village slowly unravelling over the course of a week as a new landowner has come in (it's set in the medieval period). MC is an interesting fellow too, he has a weird status in the village: he's an outsider who moved in about ten years ago, but because he has connections to the new landowner he's almost at an elevated status. At the same time he really lacks control. I don't want to spoil too much, but the novel has a lot of discussion points about social protest/power structures, and if you're interested in that kind of thing it's definitely a good read.
^ Oh wow, good job! If your work doesn't need to be done immediately I'd say go for it.
> I found the holy grail: 15 eggs for £1.75. Due date of January 30th. I've heard rumours of such cheap eggs but whenever I tried to find them, I was met with only empty shelves... Finally I lucked out and went to Lidl's relatively early and got them. I'm so happy. I'm going to be eating so many eggs.
v What's your favourite thing to cook?

[emiistar]

favorite thing to cook, hm, i really enjoy baking of any kind (especially cookies/cakes), it just calms me a ton and i enjoy the process and learning about how to make my recipes turn out as god as they can. i really threw myself into it during quarantine and had a lot of fun! but as far as cooking goes, probably pasta because it's easy, tasty, and i make it the most out of anything

^ ooo yum! glad you found some nice eggs :D sounds like it's omelette/frittata/quiche time
> new sig feelin fresh >:D also ab to hop on the train to get dinner with my friend ee so excited
