Quitting Genshin - 5/11/2025

You must be wondering: "You're quitting a video game? that's it? that doesn't need a whole journal entry!" and I can't blame you, but Genshin Impact has been one of my longest lasting fixations, and was basically all I'd ever talk about for basically 5 years. When I started, I really didn't expect my interest in it to last this long, but by now I reached a point where playing it just came naturally to me even if I didn't like how the story was going or how the gameplay was evolving, or the powercreep, or the sudden introduction of modern day technology, or the story retcons, or the new characters or-- okay. maybe I should've seen this coming from a mile away. I've actually had this feeling that I'm not enjoying the game since fontaine came out.

So, what finally made me quit? what was the straw that broke the camel's back? Was it nod-krai as a whole? Was it Milistria Wonderland? It was pretty terrible after all. But no, that isn't the answer...

the answer is..

...My playstation ran out of storage.

OKAY that's not exactly it, but I basically couldn't play like at all, and that was a step back from genshin I clearly needed. During that time I stopped playing, I realized. I don't enjoy the game at all, or the fandom. So yeah, I thought what would push me to quit was the PS4 discontinuation, but it actually happened much earlier than anticipated.

Now, will I quit other hoyoverse games? Mainly Honkai: Star Rail? The answer is No. I found none of the problems I've encountered with Genshin or Honkai Impact 3rd with HSR, though I guess I'll try to not get as invested in it as I usually would, considering it's made by the same company as the other two games that "fell off" in my mind. Other than HSR and CRK, I wanna try to play more finished and non-gacha games instead of the life-updated ones, I quite missed those types of games.

Ruined Sketchbook - 6/10/2025

Well, I certainly had an interesting start of the year to college O_O

As you may know, I got accepted into my uni's art school! yippie! the past two weeks were introductory stuff, you know, telling us what tools to bring and which each subject is about, which is pretty exciting, and this week, we've started actually doing assignments which is even more exciting!! Unfortunately, a little accident happened in my (so far) favourite subject :(

We're supposed to be attaching our papers on these wooden boards, and the girl infront of me didn't bring hers. She turned around to face me right when I was bringing out my sketchbook out of my bag and she rested her hand on it and just said "I'm going to use this instead of the board" kind of decisively. I was gonna say yes had she asked so I just gave it to her, but I've never seen anyone so assertive before, you really meet all kinds of people in college ( •̯́ ₃ •̯̀)

At some point, I guess she wanted to re-do the drawing we were supposed to do, because she started drawing in my sketchbook on account of her only having one paper, but again she didn't really ask and she also started handing her friend extra papers from the sketchbook (no shade to the friend! she was really nice and was also the only reason I realized this was happening bc she turned around and asked me before taking the paper)

In the end, I finished pretty early so I went to ask for my sketchbook back, which is when the fated accident took place... She went to take out the drawings she made, but ended up pulling out all the paper from the wiring. So I kinda don't have a sketchbook anymore, just an assortment of seperated sketchbook papers ( 〃．．) she didn't really apologise or try to help put it back together either, which put a really sour taste in my mouth (or maybe thats the candy im eating right now)

Uh, I didn't say anything. I hope that doesnt make me sound like a doormat, I'm really hoping we're past the age of bullying and targetting people now that we're in college lol

New Journal - 2/10/2025

Hello to anyone reading this, I officially made a journal! yippie! this means I only have 3 more pages to do before my site is officially complete! It also means I can remove the status thingy on my main page, but I don't know what to replace it with yet

Okay, lets address the elephant in the room: Field Of Misteria theme?? I really like this game, I got it for my birthday literally four days ago and I haven't stopped playing it, I love all the characters already and as a Stardew lover it literally has everything I hoped for sdv!! But maybe I should save that rant for the media log :p

Anyyywayssss, I'm not sure how often I'll update this, definitely NOT everyday tho. Probably when interesting stuff happens or when I have something on my mind
