> I’ve been really into Neko Atsume lately… like, even more than I was when the game was still popular XD

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is one of my favourite games of all time and I never hear anyone talking about it. It has 28k steam reviews which is a lot but I just, never see it discussed in indie circles and stuff. It's a really fun RTS, the characters are charming (not overly developed but hey, it's a strategy game), and for £35 I've gotten so much content out of it (and it frequently goes on sale, I'm pretty sure I picked it up for like £10). The art is gorgeous as well. There are certain moments where you can just cheese a section of the level, but to be honest, that's something I found fun to do when replaying a level and not wanting to do an annoying part - and I wouldn't say they're particularly easy to find. The DLC they released had a good amount of content for the price too. I'm honestly trying to think of a downside and I can't really... Maybe it's because I haven't played it in a few months, and I'm certainly biased, but yeah. Great game.
^ Weirdly enough I've also been into it a bit lol. Unfortunately lost my very old save data but I'm just building up my collection again. Good memories of like, what, 2015? That was a while ago lol.
> Tried to take today off to have a break (at least the afternoon - I have to work in the evening) I have already spent two hours sending emails and doing uni work. I am incapable of taking a break. I was considering working on my sewing project but I feel too tired. I feel too tired because I have not taken a break. Sigh. C'est la vie?
v Have you made anything - art, drawing, sewing, etc - lately? Do feel free to send text/pictures and discuss it!

v what's ur favorite quote?? can be serious or funny (or alternate question whats ur fav childhood memory!)

[Namoki]

I have way too many which are song lyrics. Right now though:


"Confess I loved you. Just thinking of you. You know I've loved you from the start."

Good Kid - From The Start (Laufey Cover)

^ I'm no expert, but maybe find time to yourself so you can just enjoy the small bits of life easier. Bit tricky, but it's well worth it.

> It feels so weird honestly being back here (at this site). I didn't go on a hiatus or anything, just got busy with life ^^;

v What is your favorite season and why?

[Disintegration]

I like summer! I enjoy going to forest preserves alot, so seeing everything blooming and alive is really nice.

^ I've felt like that before with long hiatuses(?) - welcome back though!!!!

> dripping sun......... dripping sun by kikagaku moyo............. save me kikagaku moyo.......

v What's your favorite song at the moment? How did you find it?

[axes]

BLAH BLAH BLAH by mickey darling, they're my favorite artist right now and they just released this song this month! I found it because Spotify notified me.

^ I'll have to listen to it, I like the cover art / Also likes Summer
> Thinking about moving again is stressful. Moving is so expensive
v What's one word you think is really cool? can be because of what it means, how it's spelled, whatever reason you want

[shadow~wolf]

petrichor, i think it's the smell after it rains and i just think the way
its spelled is really nice and satisfying c:

^ it is expensive, and change can be hard. i really believe in you though, and
i hope the new changes are refreshing and as easy as they can be for you.
> i dressed up for the first time in a while today and i felt so good about it!
i love makeup and fashion so it lifted my spirits alot c:

[angelfangs]
