Not escaping the Mercy to D.Va pipeline either

My body screamed over sesame seeds for ten days and finally calmed down. Me eating hummus like, so why don't you care about this, it's sesame. Body shrugs. More hummus please.

I seem to have escaped grocery PEM entirely other than same day, and a little when I woke up that turned out to be needing to eat. I'm so used to being useless through Friday or Sunday, this hasn't happened for over a year. I'm not going to do anything crazy with it, but I was able to write today, whereas usually I'd have to give it a wide berth until Friday at the earliest. I do have to do some tidying though, because next week new furniture time begins!! Futureproofing my living space is go. My dad has been onboard with it as a concept and willing to go collect orders from Ikea for me and then assemble it after, I'm very fortunate.

After some thought, I decided on D.Va for the second galactic weapon over Juno, since Juno has. Barely any skins on account of being still relatively new. Whereas D.Va has tons and many of them combo really well with the purple, only one of my favourites doesn't, soooo...

Yes Nocturna has sidecar bunnies wearing Squirtle squad sunglasses. Their names are Persephone and Adonis and I love them.

From playing Stadium - me and duo are doing one or two games a night, depending on length - I should have enough comp points by the end of the season for a third galactic weapon, and from drives, a fourth! Those will be for Juno and Brigitte. Next season I'll be saving up again for likely Ashe, but also mystery tank lady releasing in November/December, because she might be an omnic and wolf themed and a gladiator and hngh. I kind of still like the all women with golds idea, too... it's too on brand...

I've ventured into playing some Ashe in stadium and after I figured out a build that plays to my strengths and also embraces how gimmicky stadium is, it's been bangin'. Literally. Lots of dynamite. Lots of fire. The first game I went in on the other dps threw a tantrum because Ashe apparently doesn't win stadium games and proceeded to pull out their throw pick and afk for multiple rounds, and we won 4v5, so, :') the build with my duo on Mercy works, ok. Slowly but surely we'll get out of rookie and novice leagues again, maybe.

Relating to absolutely nothing, these two victory poses match. This is entirely a stick-up. I'm having so many thoughts.

goals: games

Games to play: PlayStation edition

A, "this might be easier to navigate than a note on my phone" type of entry. I'm slowly working on a full replay of XIV again, and I reached Stormblood! But having played a few other games this year already (Lost Records, Caravan Sandwitch) I think I'm itching for a few brand new narratives and experiences, so here's what I have on hand.

This doesn't include games I want to play that I've already beaten once and have the platinum for. I've noted the amount of trophies, estimated difficulty and time to platinum on those I'm most interested in trying/know something about, courtesy of psnprofiles - I might eventually link the trophy guides if I start playing them. Games with a ⭐️ are those I would play regardless of length or difficulty.

Games with a strikethrough I have veto'd. If you want to enable me into anything on this list, feel free, I'm listening!

( Games I have downloaded on my external hardrive )

( PLAYSTATION PLUS )

( Other games I own )

I wrecked my right thumb playing Detroit Become Human years ago, I ain't budging on this

This was supposed to be my restful week, and instead I've spent most of it sleeping terribly and in inexplicable stomach pain featuring nausea, existing with my waking hours in the bathroom. I learned my body definitely doesn't like sesame seeds in one way (it's fine in another), since it was a bit grumbly about it, but that was Sunday; Wednesday daytime it decided to scream, and continued to scream, until the early hours of Friday morning. I only ate once on Thursday, and that was less a choice of "it's settled" and more "I haven't eaten for 28 hours, I need to eat something". And even then it screamed today over lunch for several hours... it hasn't screamed over dinner and the nausea finally let up, although it's still a bit gripey, so I'm hoping it's calming down over its erratic upset...

S17 of Overwatch is... something of a letdown, skins wise. ( i'll never leave and i know this but why do we have to suffer so )

In the throes of the terrible tummy ache I tried picking up a new game, After Us. The Earth has been destroyed by the devourers (humans) and it is a commentary on consumerism and environmental damage, and it's Gaia's duty to rescue animal spirits. I was having fun with it; it looked beautiful, the platforming had terrible moments with depth perception, but it was doable once it gave you access to your dash about five minutes of basic jumps in.

It was mostly just, visual enjoyment. Vibes. Linear exploration. And then it throws enemies at you: but this is a game without a combat system. ( how to exclude your casual audience after they're invested: don't do this )

Now I have to find something else to play. I might make a list of what I have access to next time.

Eating my words a lot on things I didn't initially like lately

Half way through the year to my birthday and bad months... dread. I think I figured out what I initially want for a first round order of furniture, Sorbet levelling is proceeding really well, Estelline msq is struggling, and fic is so-so. Having a lot of trouble with only being able to read very little and feeling overly critical of myself lately.

I also got a different supplement with a lower folate amount and my body isn't reacting badly to it (it's 100 for one, you're meant to take two a day, so I'll work up to that). Baby steps.

Drives were did! Thursday my duo and I were very fortunate and got through the first two tiers no problem, and the same with the third tier on Friday. Saturday I did the last two tiers solo and it truly was a mixed bag of leavers and brand new DPS players (I am plat/diamond border. I should not be seeing this, ever), but I got there in the end. We... did not succeed with our final day of the season goals in stadium though, LMAO. Terrible time to do it when the playerbase is largely in comp so matchmaker is even more erratic... lesson learned. I really hope they don't do stadium drives at the same time as comp drives next season, or at the very least, lock it to some experience of the mode...?? I'll miss Dokiwatch. Magical girlies you deserved so much more than what they gave you.

I did finally get myself a galactic weapon though! As you may recall, I was debating getting golds for every female character in the game, which is still a secondary option once I get a few more galactics. I have learned the hero gallery preview does them zero justice and makes them textureless blobs, and there's really no way to preview it other than getting it yourself or catching someone using one and going to check it out in the replay viewer to see how nice it is. I definitely want galactics for D.Va, Juno and Brigitte, and have enough for another one right now, I'll simply have to decide which...

The one I did get first was for Mercy. She was my first gold weapon, she has my most playtime, it has to be her. Never escaping the Mercy main allegations.

The purple as a complimentary accent for the blue is soooo nice, though. (Might have made financial choices with the Freja legendary and princess Mercy skins. The skin itself had to grow on me but the weapons were instantly my favourite Mercy models. Listen there was too much specifically made for me this season alright).

Purble.

Season 17 tomorrow! Pray for Ashe things. 🙏 Pls give me access to old BP content Blizzard I want one Ashe highlight intro only. 😭
