< says Yoko Shimomura’s pretty good, < enjoys her FFXV work

<’ll just quote the whole post so that it doesn’t get missed, seeing as we’re on a new page:

Normally where < lives, it's a subtropical humid climate. However this day it's actually less humid than usual, only 20-30% today.

Ahh ok, < knows sometimes if the air's dry, < might get a steamed bowl of water to help moisten the air. At any rate, < hopes the coughing subsides soon!

< laments the fact that Kingdom Hearts never clicked with <, < does enjoy a good portion of the soundtrack.

Oh < ranks Yoko Shimomura very highly when it comes to Video Game music composers, it's amazing the breadth of works she's done. From Street Fighter to her various Smash Bros reimaginings (her rendition of King Dedede's theme is amongst <'s favourite versions of his theme) and of course Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.

<'s most familiar with her work in the Mario & Luigi series, and < will admit, while < did enjoy Brothership, it definitely felt different not having her as the composer. There's a lot of leitmotifs that were standardised in the series at this point that she'd done, but were left out in this one...

< confirmed that Kingdom Hearts would be way more enjoyable if the man they employed for the scenario had his wrist shattered under several tons of bricks right after KH2, arguably BBS. Unfortunately that man was also the series director.

Come to think of it, < never did finish KH3, only KH1 and KH2. < probably should try to work on that sometime.

If < can summarize KH3 so you don't have to :

- Intro for continuity
- Disney. Just Disney. Only Disney but Sora is there
- Way too hasty conclusion of every plot point left open from previous games (except one who is left hanging. Guess which)
- At this point there's no more Disney.
- THEN A SINGLE POINT OF BRILLIANCE HAPPENS which would have made the story amazing if it had been built upon
- Insulting buildup on that that legitimizes the gacha games in the stupidest way possible
- Fight fight fight
- [If you block the words "light", "darkness", "friend" and "heart" from the script in this part, literally no sentence can be formulated correctly]
- GoodGuysWin.mp3
- Wait what do you mean there will be a KH4?

Apparently Hazbin Hotel got a new season, and < is wondering if < should torture himself and watch it.

< has the first KH for PS2 somewhere, but < never actually played through it. < also finds it hard to get into longer games these days for some reason.

< doesn't play tend to play the more traditional RPGs for that reason, but < does admit sometimes if < needs something to take <'s mind of things, the longer playtime can help.

< does find games to take your mind off things a lot yeah, that < agrees with. BG&E has even managed to take <‘s mind off bed time.

< has just learnt that Nintendo is updating animal crossing, one of <‘s fav games after 4 years.

< isn’t sure what prompted this update lol.

It begins with a Switch and ends with a 2.

< has been reading the Spy X Family manga, < enjoyed the anime (which reminds <, the new season released), and < wanted to see the whole thing.

< was a dumbass who accidentally installed a software called “POWER ISO” because < wanted to download kidpix onto a XP VM. < has cleared all the viruses using multiple virus scanners, and < has managed to get rid of all of it. < was smart and disabled the internet for a bit. <‘s passwords shouldn’t be stolen.. but maybe < should change <‘s email passwords?

< had to shut off power to the downstairs furnace, since it was not shutting off since the HVAC people serviced it to get it working again.

< hopes that they can fix it soon for ^, given the inconvenience.

< happens to have mice to catch. Although < clearly heard what < thought was mice a while back, it became increasingly obvious due to the fact <, <'s dad, and <'s brother have all heard them scratching around along with the signs left in some places.

< heard one in <'s room weeks ago and just got up, moved stuff around, and cleaned the floor (to make sure there weren't any crumbs or anything). < never heard another one in <'s room since then, but <'s dad had said they seemed to be getting in at the dog food bowls in the sitting room, and that they'd been getting into a cupboard to try get at bird seed, leaving behind "evidence". < then heard a lot of scratching noises today as < was about to go into the kitchen, then < assumed maybe it was a dog in <'s brother's room above (even though it seemed a bit loud). <'s brother walked into <'s room then when < came back upstairs to mention the noises, to where < said that < heard it all too, and then we set some more traps.

< seems to get them around this time of year quite often, just as it starts to get cold outside.

Oh dear, rodents! < has only ever seen rats/mice in the garage. They have never penetrated into <'s house, thankfully. Hopefully ^ doesn't find any in ^'s room.

< is feeling much better this evening. Hopefully < can stop coughing so much and then < can finally get back into <'s routine since this cold has really been a wrench in <'s plans lately.

< hopes ^^ can get that problem resolved, yikes!

<'s coworker now has a cold, < hopes to avoid catching it.

< will get it resolved. < is not really sure why certain houses get this problem at this time of year and others don't. < thinks it used to be more common for them to be in the attic though.

< kept falling back asleep and woke up again feeling very "ugh" a while ago.

Ah yes a very common ^ trend. < hopes ^ can break that eventually.

< has finished setting up Windows 2000 and <'s Windows 7 clone (in case something goes wrong with the one > will use). < will get to uploading the Windows XP clone < has on <'s USB later today.

< sees that ^ is setting up a whole bunch of VMs. ^ needs to use 86Box for some MS-DOS / Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows 98 fun too. Heh

< thinks it's kind of fun, and ^^ can install whatever they want, as long as it's not blue headlights in their car.
